Feng Shui Home - The Element of Water

Feng Shui - the ancient Chinese art that uses placement of objects to enhance the flow of energy within an environment - has been practiced for thousands of years in China. Harnessing the positive and negative energy that flows through your home is said to improve the health, wealth, peace of mind and personal relationships in one's life. This practice has been quietly spreading to other continents, and millions of people across the world now live their lives by these natural forces.

There are many ways to incorporate Feng Shui into an interior or exterior space, mostly involving the placement of furniture, wind chimes, mirrors, plants and other objects in such a way that the energy flow is optimized through the home, office or garden. The single most effective way to increase the flow of positive energy, or 'chi', is said to be the use of clear, fresh flowing water. There's no better way to incorporate this simple element into your home than with a Feng Shui fountain.

Feng Shui fountains feature minimalist, nature-oriented, Asian-inspired designs which often include slate, copper, granite and river rocks. They maintain a steady flow of positive chi through the circulation of water, ensuring that it is never stagnant and always remains clear and beautiful. The Haiku Moon Tabletop Fountain (pictured top) by Water Wonders is an excellent example of a Feng Shui fountain that fits in beautifully with nearly any type of home decor. The small size allows it to be placed nearly anywhere, including bedside tables, computer desks, kitchen counters and other areas where positive energy flow is desired.
