Many of you have written to me asking for advice as to which wind chime to use, and their significance. Hence I have dedicated this month's Feng Shui Tip to the subject of wind chimes.
There are many types of wind chimes with different make and number of rods. Some available in the market for Feng Shui purposes are made of metal, wood and even bamboo. Rods can come in 4, 5, 6, 8 or even 24. For metal rods, the question of whether they should be hollow or solid doesn't really matter. What matters is that the rods produce the metal sound, which in turn effectively weaken 'sha chi' from malignant stars.
In Flying Stars Feng Shui, wind chimes with metal rods are used to weaken the effects of the malignant stars of 2 Black and 5 Yellow. If you're wondering why, you'll need to learn a little bit more about the 5 Element Theory. Earth produces Metal and in the process, Earth is weakened. So, in order to weaken Earth Stars like the 2 Black and 5 Yellow, you will need to use Metal - in this case Metal Windchimes.
The 2 Black Star causes sickness while the 5 Yellow causes accidents and mishaps. So if you are looking to minimize the effects of these two stars, hang a metal rod wind chime in afflicted areas in your home, office or shop.
Looking to enhance your happiness or perhaps get a promotion? It can't get any easier than the bamboo wind chimes. Locate the #9 in your home or office and just hang a wind chime made of bamboo in this area!
The #9 Star is a Fire element Star and the bamboo will 'fuel' this fire, since Wood produces Fire. So, when the #9 Star is empowered with Wood, it is said to result in career changes and a move up.
However, do be careful of the months when a 5 Yellow star flies into the same sector as your #9 Star. The 5 Yellow can act as a catalyst for the more volatile, destructive nature of the #9's Fire element.
Another popular usage of Wind chimes in Feng Shui are to slow fast-flowing 'chi' caused by T-junctions and long corridors. Fast-flowing 'chi' is not desirable as it is deemed too aggressive.
Some windchimes are also shaped for symbolism purposes. A popular choice are windchimes shaped like a sailing ship with gold ingots for wealth luck. There are also some with characters of the Five Elements to give it that symbolic representation.
