Feng Shui & Koshi Wind Chimes

 

Firstly, what is Feng Shui?

Feng Shui, pronounced "Foong Shway", is an ancient art and science developed over 3,000 years ago in China. It is a complex body of knowledge that reveals how to balance the energies of any given space to assure the health and good fortune for people inhabiting it.

Feng means wind and shui means water. In Chinese culture wind and water are associated with good health, thus good feng shui came to mean good fortune, while bad feng shui means bad luck, or misfortune.

Feng Shui is based on the Taoist vision and understanding of nature, particularly on the idea that the land is alive and filled with Chi, or energy.

The ancient Chinese believed the balance of energies [yin and yang], was vital to the prosperity of the nation and its inhabitants. The five feng shui elements – earth, water, fire, wood and metal form important components of feng shui and have their origins in Taoism.


Where do Koshi Wind Chimes Fit Into the Feng Shui Philosophy?

We are constantly surrounded by good and bad sound, positive and negative. Natures sounds, such as: the birds singing - the wind in the trees - the sound of rain, each connect us with our environment.

Perfectly tuned wind chimes enhance the sounds of nature and help  create a flow of positive energy. On the other hand, wind chimes that are not in tune can create the opposite energy flow.

Precision tuned wind chimes can help to counteract the negative energy flow caused by unnatural sound caused by traffic, machinery, loud music etc.

Koshi’s are perfectly tuned wind chimes, they have beautiful melodies  that are very calming. The four melodies – Terra, Aqua, Aria and Fire  { earth ,water ,air and fire }, together with the use of bamboo and  metal used in the construction of the chimes, combine the five basic  elements of feng shui.


Where to place wind chimes?

According to early Chinese folklore, chimes were hung in doorways to  keep out evil spirits, and other negative energies. Entrances, porches, verandahs and under eaves are ideal places to hang wind chimes, to  encourage positive energy flow into you home or work space. Though,  make sure they do not cause an obstruction to those entering the  dwelling.

Feng Shui suggests that the North West part of an area is also a good place for wind chimes - near statues, archways or circles. A combination  of movement and stillness can be complimentary. Hanging them near  running water may also be a good choice. Try not to hang chimes where  they will clash with any other ornamentation. Feng shui does not  recommend clutter and so chimes should be hung in a space free from  too many other things.
