Water Fountain Feng Shui

The sound of flowing water relaxes me. I even play water sounds at night while we sleep to induce a restful sleep. This is one of the many reasons why we bought a water fountain for our mini garden.

A water fountain is not only a simple water feature that brings beauty in your home. In Chinese Feng Shui, a water fountain help keeps the balance of energy and peace inside the home. Actually, there's a scientific explanation to this. Moving water diffuses negative ions in the air, therefore, creating a more positive energy.

There are many kinds of water fountains for the home, the most common of which are table top water fountains. But since feng shui is all about the harmonious placement of home fixtures, you will have to follow the correct placement of the water fountain in your home. In our case, for instance, we were advised not to put a water fountain (or any water display such as an aquarium) inside our home especially in the bedroom because we have are trying to have another baby. For that goal, we have to encourage the fire element.

It would be best to put a water fountain in the east area of your home to strengthen the health of the family members and to maintain peace and harmony within the family. For prosperity, place a water fountain in the southeast area but never in the south which is for fame and reputation (fire element). Lastly, for a successful career in life, place your water fountain in the north.
