Using Water Fountains in Feng Shui

The study and practice of Feng Shui is believed to create balance, harmony, and health based on your environment. The literal translation of Feng Shui is "wind-water". It is believed that the way you decorate can invite positive or negative energy. Using wall fountains, ponds, and other water features are believed to assist in creating a positive environment.

Feng Shui relies heavily on placement and direction. It is believed that you can benefit by placing water in three different directions; east, southeast, and north. Here some helpful tips for adding water and fountains in your Fung Shui decorating.

- Having a fountain near the main entrance door can protect the home from negative energy entering.
- It is recommended that you never have a water fountain facing out of your home and do not place fountains on both sides of the door.
- For luck it is suggested to place a wall fountain or other water feature in the southeast part of your home.
- Moving water is more masculine and connected to Yang. Still water is more feminine and connected to Yin. It is recommended not place moving water in a Yin environment and vice versa.
- You will want to have the fountains and other water features in full view of the front door.
- Letting water escape from the property can cause a negative Chi. Letting the water escape may suggest missed opportunities.
- Water fountains should not be located in the south.
