Feng Shui Products are a great way to add a unique Chi enriched dimension to your home and or office. At first, the wide range of product choices may appear to be overwhelming but you will find over time that the Feng Shui Decorating process can be very creative and entertaining.
One of the mainstays in any Feng Shui environment is the classic indoor Feng Shui Water Fountain. Feng Shui Products like the Water Fountain are very effective Chi attractors because of the way they infuse the water aspect into the environment. Fountains come in many shapes and sizes and are the primary component of a classic Feng Shui Money Corner.
When choosing an indoor water fountain, it's important to purchase a feature that fits your personal style and tastes. You want to pick a fountain that is visually appealing, so you will have pleasant thoughts each time you are in the room where the fountain is located. Also, pick a fountain that produces a pleasant sound as the water gently cascades from the top of the feature to the bottom.
FengShuiTip4u: Try to test drive your fountain before buying!
Larger retail stores or garden shops that specialize in water fountains or Feng Shui Products will sometimes have the features on display and you will be able to experience the fountain in action. However, hearing a fountain may not always be possible especially when it is purchased online or from a retail store like Walmart or Target.
FengShuiTip4u: Make sure your fountain has an adjustable pump!
In this case, make sure to purchase a fountain that has an adjustable pump. The ability to adjust the flow of water will allow you to have control over the amount of sound produced by the fountain. Increased water flow will not produce more Chi, but it can make the fountain very loud and it may not be appropriate for all situations.
FengShuiTip4u: Use small stones to adjust the volume of your fountain!
Remember, you can also "adjust" the sound by strategically placing small stones at the base of the fountain. The stones will help to muffle the sound of the water as it flows downward. You can have fun with this process by adjusting the stones until they produce a sound that resonates with your personal preferences.
FengShuiTip4u: Make sure your fountain always has enough water!
Also consider the water in the fountain will evaporate over time. When first filled, the feature will produce more "noise", but this will decrease during the evaporation process. Depending where you live, the evaporation process may be very slow, very fast or somewhere in between. If you do not keep enough water in the fountain, you will destroy the pump! So please pay attention to this detail or your fountain may be ruined in the first week of operation.
FengShuiTip4u: Keep your fountain clean!
Also, try to keep your fountain clean because a dirty fountain will create friction, slow the movement of water and reduce the feature's ability to attract Chi. A dirty Feng Shui Water Fountain can become an eyesore and detract from your decor. When possible, use distilled water as this will help cut down on calcium build-up and help to extend the life of the pump.
FengShuiTip4u: Size does not matter!
With respect to Feng Shui Products like the Water Fountain, size does not matter! It's really, really true... no lying here just to make you feel better. Also, the price does not matter either. You will not generate more Chi with a very expensive Feng Shui Water Fountain. You can expect to pay around twenty dollars for low end model and a couple of hundred dollars or more for a higher end model. Like many other Feng shui Products, the quality of materials used to construct the fountain, including components such as the pump, will certainly make a difference in price.
FengShuiTip4u: Increase your fountain's potency by adding the element wood!
If possible, try to choose a fountain with a Bamboo Funnel. The introduction of the wood element will increase the potency of the fountain and help attract more Chi. If you do choose a fountain with a Bamboo Funnel theme try to avoid one made of plastic components, because it will not add to the creation of more Chi.
Enjoy your fountain and in short time you really appreciate the way it positively changes the "feel" of a room by its ability to attract healthy and abundant Chi.
Namaste,
