Where to Place Wind chimes Feng Shui?

Symbols / February 17, 2020

Wind chimes are a very popular feng shui cure, so there is a variety of ways you can use them for good feng shui. In my opinion, wind chimes belong outside the home - in the garden, patio or balcony. There is a reason why they are called wind chimes!

This is not to say that I would not use a small wind chime inside a home, especially if the chime has little rock crystals in it, for example. As with the use of any feng shui cure, I always encourage my readers and clients to trust their sense as to the best placement of a specific object in their home.

Let me give you all the info you need to know in order to make a wise decision as to the best placement of your wind chime for good feng shui.

If you need a strong Metal feng shui element in a specific bagua area, such as Northwest, for example, a feng shui consultant might recommend a metal wind chime with 6 strings/bells, 6 being the feng shui number for Northwest. The best choice would be considered a chime with hollow tubes, so as to allow the potential Sha Chi to be transmuted into Sheng Chi quality of energy.

There are three main guidelines for best feng shui placement of wind chimes: the material they are made from, the number of rods/bells and the symbols present in its design.

1. Material. Always be mindful of matching the material/feng shui element of the wind chime with the bagua area element where you want to place it. A metal wind chime can be placed in the West, Northwest and North, while a wood/bamboo chime can be placed in the East, Southeast, and South bagua areas.

Sometimes you can even find wind chimes made with porcelain or clay bells, in which case you are dealing with the Earth feng shui element and will place them in Earth or Wood feng shui element bagua areas (Center, Southwest, Northeast, East and Southeast).

As with any feng shui cure, be mindful not to weaken or damage the main element of a bagua area. For example, do not place a metal wind chime in the East (Wood element) or a wood chime in the Earth element area (Southwest).

2. Symbols. Many feng shui wind chimes come with traditional symbols, such as a feng shui Chi Lin wind chime for protection or the Mystic Knot wind chime for abundant energy. A clay wind chime with two hearts will obviously be an excellent choice for the Southwest/Love & Marriage area of your home or garden, while a chime with a Buddha image will work well with the feng shui energies of the Northeast/ Spiritual Growth and Self-Cultivation bagua area.

3. Numbers. When using a chime as a feng shui cure, attention is also paid to the numbers of the rods/bells. Numbers 6 and 8 are the most popular numbers of bells in a wind chime in order to increase the beneficial energy; while 5 is considered best when you want to suppress bad energy, most often from an annual feng shui star.
