WIND CHIMES

Wind chimes or Foong Ling incorporate the concept of the 5 Directions (North, South, East, West & Center) and the 5 Elements namely earth, metal, fire, water and air.

Wind Chimes are a wonderful feng shui "sound cure" - useful both inside and outside your home and business. They are great for stimulating new energy, ridding your life of stagnation and obsticles, and attracting opportunity.
If there is no wind you can always manually manipulate the wind chime to ring as you pass by, as an "instant chi charge" whenever you feel the need.

One must also take note that not all wind chimes bring good luck to the occupants of the house. There are some designs that are not suitable to be hung in the house.
