The importance of sounds in Feng Shui

What we call "sounds" in Feng Shui is not music per se. It is rather vibrations. They can be emitted by air, water or specific materials. It is these vibrations that will emit a sound and therefore produce energy.

These Feng Shui sound energies are intended to heal, to soothe, to protect, etc. They can also rebalance the Chi or restore a negative Chi. The sounds create a harmonious and peaceful space, like the Asian temple gardens where, mixed with birdsong and nature sounds, comes the power of a gong. Sound energy propagates through space and even through materials, including the human body.

Many sound energies are used by health professionals to create a climate conducive to calm and serenity. In Feng Shui, these energies are simply remedies. They help to attract positive Chi and to evict stagnant Chi. In short, with Feng Shui sounds, you move the energy to restore it to the right balance.

The various tools of Feng Shui sounds

It is not possible to create Feng Shui sounds with just any instrument or object. Some are specific and can be used without moderation. So there are some very specific Feng Shui objects to use in your home to rebalance the Chi. The Feng Shui Shop offers you an overview of Feng Shui sound tools and their benefits.

Gongs, tingshas or bells

It is not uncommon to see bells in some Asian houses. Often placed on a table, hung in the hallway or in a closet, their purpose is to chase away negative energy and to call the positive Chi to take its place.

The same goes for the gongs which should be placed at the entrance of the house or in the living room. In order to make the best use of them, let them sound in the places where the Chi tends to stagnate (closets, hallway, corners of the house, etc.). Let the sound come to life and fade away on its own as it makes its way through your rooms.

Wind chimes

Also known as wind chimes, these typical small objects attract positive Chi. In traditional Feng Shui, the chime guides the vital energy called Qi into all the rooms of the house. Wind chimes can be installed indoors, but also on a doorstep. They should be activated when entering the house. Wind chimes are usually made of bamboo or metal alloy.

It is not uncommon to see them outside. Either on a terrace or hanging from a tree. Thus, it is nature that is the master of the game. The wind activates or not the energies by making resound the sounds of the carillon according to its desires. The music of nature is also a carrier of positive Chi!

The Feng Shui store offers several models of chimes. Play with the materials and sizes to obtain a positive sound harmony.

Tibetan singing bowls

Perhaps you have already felt a negative energy when you entered a place. Perhaps when you moved into your new home, you felt a heavy atmosphere? In Feng Shui, there is a solution to "clean" these bad waves. It is the singing bowl. By its round and full sounds, it will purify the space.

Before using it in a new home for example, it is necessary to chase away the bad waves by clapping your hands to keep them away. Then, use your Tibetan bowl to welcome the positive Chi in your home. The vibrations created will purify the energy and bring positivity into your walls.

Singing bowls are made of 7 different alloys. Depending on their size, the sounds emitted can change. With several bowls, play with the sizes to create multiple sounds and activate a more powerful positive Chi.
