Wind chimes are attributed to the Chinese, who over three thousand years ago made them to generate melodic sounds for their religious services. Feng Shui wind chimes are often made of wood and bamboo is the most widely used.
When hung in the proper place, bamboo wind chimes are said to contribute to your health. Natural healing powers are said to be one of the attributes of these chimes when they are hung in your doorways and windows. One of the ways to experience the mind healing powers is to stop and listen to the music that is generated by the breeze playing with the chimes.
The number of cylinders that a wind chime has is what decides the purpose of the chimes. Six to eight cylinders are said to bring good luck. Five tubes are often used to protect against bad luck. Although people tend to hang these feng shui items everywhere, placing them in a position where they face a certain star is considered the best place.
Stars are fire elements and by facing them, wind chimes made of wood receive sustenance that in turn makes good luck stream into your home and in turn into your life. Such items have long been considered to bring luck into the home in which they hang.
Not only are they considered to bring luck but wind chimes made of eight cylinders, hollowed and connected to a ship can bring wealth to the owner. The ship must be modeled after an ancient Chinese ship used for trading. It can be made from bamboo also. Rosewood is another good wood for making the ship.
In the same manner as one uses the bamboo one, metal wind chimes are not recommended because they can release bad luck. Rather than receiving the sustenance from the stars, they resist it.
The sounds from bamboo chimes can be quite soothing. If made of a thinner wood they produce a tinkling sound whereas the thicker wood makes a bong sound. Either way the sounds produced by them is said to have great results on clearing your mind and relieving stress.
Many bamboo ones are hand cut. Then they are tuned to produce wonderful sounds. Almost nothing else in the world is as soothing as the sounds from these items. Although many years ago, these sound makers were made of other items rather than metals or wood, that is the main way of making them today. Depending on the preference of the user, wooden ones are the most popular for Feng Shui practices.
Feng Shui wind chimes have become more popular over the last few years as people search for ways to improve their life. Searching for happiness, wealth, and good health has almost become an obsession. Not to mention finding love.
The studies of the past have suggested that wind chimes were a vital part of the Chinese history. A large part of Feng Shui is the belief in it. So if you believe that the placement of these feng shui tools will enhance your life, they may do just that.
