Fountains are mostly situated in southeast, north, and east or in corners. They are a source of positivity in places which have been low on energy and are stagnant for quite some time. They infuse energy, confidence and revitalize the whole environment and also get moisture in air in monotonous and desiccated places. Water fountain helps in surfacing the beauty of nature and environment and wood and the presence of green plants in the given environment rejuvenates and increases the strength of fountain equally.

Feng Shui water fountains come in all shapes and sizes but what is more important is the location area where it’s going to be situated. It is to be noted that if the Feng Shui fountain is situated near the crowded main entrance, water is flowing inwards and that no water is splashing outside. These fountains are made of different materials like copper, stone, cement, etc and are easily available in market. Different materials have different affects on environments like copper helps in rejuvenating and supporting the ingenious succession of water whereas cement and stone stops the same with liveliness and strength.

Water cycle of Chi is very important and metal is added to the body of fountain to achieve that, similar to metal table or nine coins. Water flow and intensity of these fountains is also a very vital factor as it decides the sound it will create and therefore, implementing optimum level and velocity is very crucial. Turning off the fountain at night is essential if you have one in bedroom because the sound might be disturbing at night.

Both the motion and the sound of gurgling water is believed to activate chi. In addition, it adds humidity to dry rooms, aiding in a restoration of chi. Moving water revives things when chi has been stagnating. Adopt the use of moving water cures in any place in which you wish to enhance wood or water energy.

Water fountains are available in a range of shapes and sizes; select one that:

Complements your current décor;
Is appropriate in size – it should not be too large or too small for the place in which you intend to install it;
Incorporates the materials, colors and shapes of all the element energies that you desire to add to that space.

A water fountain’s sound can be adjusted by altering the water level. Many fountains come with adjustable pumps so that the speed of water flow can be varied. Experiment until the correct volume and tone is found.

If a feng shui water fountain is placed by the front door, it will cause activation of kan gua (career). However, you must make sure that the water flows towards your front door rather than away from it. Good chi should be flowing into your life rather than out of it!

Ensure that you continue to replenish your fountain as the water contained in it evaporates. This will prevent your pump from becoming damaged as a result of low water levels. Depending on the climate in which you reside as well as the fountain size, you may be required to fill up your fountain once a day or once a week. If you are going to be away from your home for days at a time, unplug your fountain.

An aquarium is highly effective at increasing your luck and wealth. The ideal place in which to put an aquarium is in hsun (wealth) guas and kan (career), or near to your front door. Combine either eight orange colored fish with one black colored fish or eight black colored fish with one gold colored fish. If you want to use an aquarium to enhance your wealth, add a total of nine coins to your fish tank (choose a type of metal that will not react chemically and hence harm the fish). 

Keep your aquarium immaculately clean. Stagnant water and filters clogged with algae will not prove beneficial to your fish or to your chi.

Aside from adding to the decor of a space, these feng shui water fountains are said to bring harmony or gi by bringing energy balance to the surrounding area.  This is why such decor pieces are believed to have a positive effect for those who live or work in areas within the fountain.  They are also thought to harness positive energy from the air, by communicating with negative ions in the room and forcing them out. Many believe this keeps a home in balance.

Possessing great health is important in the lives of most people.  Good health leads to a more pleasant state of mind and helps you get along better with others.  Fountains are meant to assist you in maintaining good health and a positive mental state.  There are those who believe that running water does indeed reduce the number of negative ions present in a home or room.  This is also supposed to help you remain calm.  A sense of calm is useful when studying, reading or even when listening to music.  The more successful the fountain is at helping you stay calm during periods where anxiety may be high, the longer your life will be.

Stress and anxiety are known to lead to a host of health problems.  It makes perfect sense that anything you can do to relieve much of it is a good thing.  Having a fountain in your work area or room then becomes an important aspect of achieving good health and living a long, productive life.
If running water from a fountain helps achieve this, it is a relatively small cost which provides a great benefit.

     They believed that creativity could be increased by the arrangement of a room, and much of his discipline is psychological.  The five elements are Firer, Earth, Water, Wood, and Metal, and he believed they all had to work together to achieve complete harmony in a room.  They feed each other to maintain balance and if any are absent, it will result in instability and confusion, and the cycle that starts will be destructive.

     Water, particularly, has a strong influence, with the Feng Shui believing that productivity and good luck would come if it was positioned right, while bad luck would result from incorrect positioning.  Their philosophy says that the direction the water flows has a strong interaction.  It makes you wonder if it is coincidence that businesses position their feng shui water fountains around main entrances.

     Of course, the most powerful waterfalls will be the exterior ones, but you can harness some of the good luck and the productivity with indoor water.  You may need to move your indoor fountain so that it can work harmoniously with another water of another source; even a faucet or a toilet will count.  Even though you may use the Feng Shui waterfalls with all the Feng Shui features, the masters of Feng Shui strongly advise you to seek the advice of a master for placement.  If you are unable to do that, however, you can try it for several months to see.

     There have been many studies done on the this philosophy, but how can you prove or disprove that?  If a person believes they are going to fail, they usually do, and if they feel they are lucky and going to succeed, they usually do that also.  Believing you are at peace puts you at peace and frees your mind to be creative.  So, look around your home or office.  Do you need peace, creativity and good luck?  It cannot hurt. 

The element of water is employed to slow or quicken Chi’s flow. Feng Shui recommends creating positive Chi energy flow using both indoor and outdoor water sources like ponds, fountains, or waterfalls. Positive Chi flow should move freely through your garden, with few energy blocking barriers present. Conversely, if Chi moves too fast, its atmosphere could become unstable. 

Try to position your water element in the northern, eastern, or southeastern corner in the garden to bring good fortune. Water should be flowing towards the direction of your house, preferably facing your main entryway or a big window. These are gateways to allow Chi to flow into your house and in the direction of other elemental sources. If you have other water sources outside your home that are not connected to the interior, the strength of energy could be blocked.

Additionally, the strength of the waterfall’s flow must be just right to keep Chi flowing. Your water feature should also be in a proper proportion to your home; too small would suggest a lack of resources and too large would overpower the home. Many custom landscapers can help you design a water feature with this philosophy in mind.

Once the water feature is in place, you have to take good care of it for its looks as well as for the Chi energy it provides. Remove dead plants, yard debris, and algae. Check that there ore no cracks or leaks, remembering that a fault in your water feature’s function or appearance also means damage to the potential amount of Chi available. Goldfish represent wealth, so don’t hesitate to add some to your pond!

Feng Shui water fountains installed specifically to this philosophy may seem like quite complicated at first, but they add a beautiful, beneficial, and mystic quality to any living space.
