If you’ve got the space available probably one of the nicest garden accents
you can add is a water fountain. No matter what type of water feature you add will provide a soothing and relaxing ambience to your outdoor setting.
I want to stress what I’ve said about soothing and relaxing. With the way things are in life right now, most everyone is really feeling the stress of just trying to get through each day. People resort to many things to relieve their stress, some healthy and many not so healthy. A water fountain is one of the healthy things you can have that just keeps on giving. Listening to the sound of the water trickling down the fountain and splashing in the pool really does help relieve some of your stress. Think of it an ambient sound. It has been said that the rhythmic sound of a water fountain may help reduce stress, give a sense of relaxation and can be calming. I think we could all use a little of that in our lives.
Did you know that a water fountain is good feng shui too? Fountains are very popular in feng shui because they bring the energy of water, and water is an ancient feng shui symbol of wealth and prosperity. Another good reason is that a water fountain will help diffuse any negative ions into the air. The direction you place your fountain is important also. Here’s basically how the position of your fountain works for feng shui:
- East - Health & Family
- Southeast - Prosperity and Abundance
- North - Career & Path in Life
- South – This is not considered to be good feng shui because South is related to your fame and reputation along with the energy of it’s fire. Anytime you place a water element into the fire zone you will be creating conflicting energy because water puts out the fire element of feng shui.
The location of your feng shui fountain is determined by the Ba-Gua, or the feng shui energy map, as well as the interplay of the five feng shui elements.
