In addition to being a pretty garden accessory, wind chimes have been used as actual Feng Shui remedies for a variety of reasons. And there is also a circumstance where they should NOT be used at all.
As a moving metal remedy, wind chimes or bell strands can disperse negative energy when it is from a specific “sha” of the earth. The term “sha” can be translated as harmful energy. In the cycle of the five elements, the earth wants to nourish itself or become metal, so the metal ring can absorb the negative energy of the earth or transform it. I do not mean Planet Earth when I mention “earth” but rather a less literal “earth phase” that defines some magnetic fields determined by the School of Flying Stars.
How do we know when or where this negative energy is? Understanding the proper location for a wind chime (indoors or outdoors) is the domain of the Xuan Kong Feng Shui practitioner. One has to calculate the construction era of the given house or building and also take into account the compass alignment.
Other modern alternatives to the wind chime include a pendulum clock with a swinging brass piece. Even a piano (for metal strings) can work as a moving metal remedy where wind chimes have been recommended.
Perhaps there is an unspoken component of Feng Shui behind the almost universal spiritual practice of ringing church bells and playing gongs in temples, all of which have a similar effect when it comes to Feng Shui theory.
Another time to hang a 6-rod metal wind chime from a hanging ceiling is when demolition or construction is underway in direct alignment with your property and it can become quite crucial in certain directions in certain years. For example, in the year of the Rabbit, the direction directly east and directly west are both directions that can be very accident prone and a strategically placed wind chime can help stop precarious vibrations coming from these directions directly into a structure. .
In the Year of the Dragon, the direction of the Dragon to the southeast and the opposite direction of the Dog to the northwest will be two important directions to reinforce with a wind chime, in case your house is aligned with someone else’s building or specially with one that cannot be reprogrammed. your own property.
As an intern, I have gone to homes or businesses where there was in fact a construction in misalignment with my client’s property. The predictable setbacks had taken place and my advice was to add the correctly placed wind chime. Chronic problems with the construction project or the owner’s health would settle or resolve once the remedy was installed. After the fact is better than nothing, but before construction begins it is the best resource.
However, there is a circumstance where hanging a 6-rod metal wind chime could be a problem and even many Feng Shui practitioners are unaware of it. One has to practice the Xuan Kong School to find out if a property contains a particular combination called 2-5 stars. Not all homes have this specific type of energy field in a part of their home. You can only determine which houses have this energy field when you combine the year of construction with the orientation. For example, a southwest-facing house built between 1944 and 1963 is a type of house that has this particular energy field.
Also, a northeast-facing house built between 1964 and 1983 also has this particular energy field which has the 2-5 energy pattern. These numbers are just an abbreviation for a certain type of energy field and it is nothing visual that you can recognize. It is in the calculations.
When a 6-wire metal wind chime is placed in a home’s 2-5 or 5-2 location, it can attract a ghost or the spirit of a loved one! Clients have confirmed this to me and I have personally experienced it as well.
There are many other examples where certain Feng Shui folk remedies should NOT be randomly placed anywhere in the hope of attracting good luck. There can definitely be a backlash from having something potentially very powerful misplaced. Consultation with a highly trained and experienced physician is recommended.
