Tabletop Water Fountain and Feng Shui
Water is a great way to bring moisture into the the home. In addition, the sound of running water brings about a sense of peace and helps you to relax. An easy way to bring the quiet energy of water into your home is by the proper placement of a tabletop water fountain.
What do I mean by “proper placement?” Let me explain. If you are considering bringing water into your home, it is important to be aware of the best place to put it according to Feng Shui principles. Normally reserved for the Feng Shui garden, water fountains can also be placed indoors for positive energy, also called good Chi. The ancient Chinese felt that water was energy and that it was a perfect sign of prosperity and abundance. Of course, Feng Shui also notes that using fountains, especially indoors, will dispel the negative energy in the air as well as provide a bit of moisture as many homes have dry air.
But knowing where to place your fountain is important. You want to find the north, east and southeast areas of your home. These are the optimal areas to place your tabletop water fountain. Each of the areas – north, east, and southeast – enhance a different part of your life. So if you want wealth and prosperity, look to place the right Feng Shui symbols in the southeast. If you want family and health, then focus on the east. The north direction corresponds to life goals and your career.
Let’s go into more detail to help you choose a location or two in your home for an indoor water fountain:
- We mentioned that the southeast area of your home represent abundance and wealth. It is associated with the wood element. Water in this area will work because water and wood go well together. But fire will not work. The south area corresponds to your reputation. Since fire and water don’t work well together, putting a tabletop water fountain in the south will extinguish your fame and recognition.
- You can also place the fountain near the front entrance to your home. You would want to do this if there are angled shapes pointed at your front door. The water fountain will help repel any negative Chi from the bad shapes.
- One area where you don’t want to place a tabletop fountain is in your bedroom. This is your sanctuary. It should be a slower paced room so that you can relax and sleep. Placing water here will bring a lot of energy. Too much energy is not conducive to good sleep and proper rest.
One final word. When you are shopping for the right fountain to bring into your home, try and find one with a quiet motor. Excessive noise will only disrupt the positive flow of Chi in the room, which defeats the purpose of having the fountain!
