Wind Chimes

I’ve been interested in wind chimes for a while. I especially like the wooden ones, they give a gorgeously understated sound to a garden.  Wind chimes remind me of yoga, of relaxation and calmness. It’s probably something to do with the wind chimes that hang in the orchard at my mum’s house. I’ve often done yoga there.

The origin of wind chimes is interesting. They have been recorded as far back as 3000 BC and were most used to ward of evil spirits. That’s all good and well considering my large dislike for evil spirits after seeing Paranormal Activity. Actually, I can’t say I’ve ever had a love for evil spirits. Positive energy is also welcome to chime its way through my house. Some of the first wind chimes were made from bamboo, stones and even bone – it’s quite nice how things have changed, give me metal and wood over bone any day.

They are now commonly used in feng shui to enhance a room’s energy. They purify and protect the area they are in. If you want to direct energy in the most positive way possible then have a wind chime in your front garden or hallway. This will protect from those pesky evil spirits as well as keeping your home pure. Plus they sound nice, better than the rush of cars hurtling past your house.

You have to be careful what sort of wind chimes you choose and where you put them. Wooden chunky wind chimes are best suited to being outside, while smaller ones would suit a small hallway. Maybe pair a small wind chime with a dream catcher and hang near your bedroom window. You need the protection for a good night’s sleep full of fluffy dreams.

They also have a very practical use when hung near doors. They can alert you to someone coming into the house. This can help to protect you from intruders. They are also very pleasing to the eye and ear.
