Using Water Fountains to Add the Feng Shui Water Element
The water element in Feng Shui practice is used to bring about harmony, balance and prosperity. This water element can be via a stream located on your property, a picture of a waterfall or art that represents water, colors normally associated with the water element, a reflective surface or a water fountain.
In the theory of Feng Shui, it is said that in order to protect the entrance of your home, or to prevent negative external energy from entering your home – you should place a water feature close to the front door. You can accomplish this with either an outdoor feature such as a fish bond or fountain, or a small pond or fountain feature very close to the door or entry way.
If you want to add an Asian inspired water feature to your home (let’s say you are implementing various Feng Shui enhancements) but do not have the space for a large floor fountain, choose a table top fountain instead. You will reap the positive energy benefits of adding the water element while also conserving space.
Generally speaking, the sound of water has a very calming effect on people. Because of this, Asian inspired water fountains in or outside of the homes has become a very popular trend in Western culture. The practice finds it’s roots in the Japanese theory of Feng Shui. Not only does water bring a tranquil energy, but it is also the ancient symbol
of wealth and prosperity.
When using a water feature as a Feng Shui cure, there are a few things that you want to be mindful of. For starters, do not place a water feature in the south area of your home – refer to the bagua map if you to understand “where” the south area is. That part of your home is represented by the fire energy and is directly connected to fame and reputation. If you add water to that area, you are essentially “quenching” or dosing the fire energy which will have a negative impact on your reputation. You also do not want to add it to your bedroom as it will usher in the energy of worry.
Hi I have been studying the map for along time now. I follow the map,by using the entrance as the career section,and the far left back prosperity and middle fire and far right back love and relationships.I did my erotique boutique like that and and my livingroom and bedroom also.Im confused alittle about mirrors.I have a big one over the back of my bed,but not directly towards me.Ihave mirror folding doors more on the left side,facing the bed,I put pillows,at the end of the bed,highup,not to reflect mostly the left side of the bed, and I have a long one in the south side,its not directly in front of my bedroom door,butmore to the left side,which I read to cover up.My bedroom is very beautiful,with corner bathtub and shower separatly,dark blue turquoise ceiling and wall.Bathtub in prosperity section and shower career section.What advice can you give me for everything,and where am Im allowed to put candles,besides the fire section.Susposly can not reflect directly on mirrors or if I can see it in a far away mirror,Im confused. For almost one year now Im constantly adding enegenic colors and knicknacks and pictures recommended,as indicated on your map,staring with me facing the front door entraance.I have a table top waterfountain in my boutique in the entrance with the water facing inside,does that really matter,and another in the prosperity section,and another in the career,a bit in knowledge on my main cash counter,where customers pay.This fountain has a beautiful rotating colored ball,with water rotating,the customers all love it. I have crystal balls hanging in my window,and all in the boutique,and my office 6 stairs sown from my boutique,also decorated for the map. How can I improve anything else,Im crazy about feungshui,the fountain at my boutik entrance,inside is a feunshui dragon,ingraved with feungshui.For the colors everywhere,theres lots,including pictures of trees and flowers and artificial flowers in the health swction.I was told not to put family pictures in the relationship,love section,only in health and not in the bedroom.Where exactly,bynaming the section,can I put miirors. In my store I have in crative and prosperity now,and in the bottom of the 6 stairs,is the trying the clothes on room.,with 2 mirrors there,I dont have no place in my store directly.Any free advice would be worth it,thanks alot Donna
