The origin of bamboo chimes and bells has long been debated, as both Eastern and Western Asia have claimed their invention. However, regardless of region, the use of chimes and bells is widespread throughout Asia. In temples, the sound of bell tolls signifies a period of prayer and meditation. In the home, chimes and bells are believed to frighten away evil spirits, or used to cast or remove spells. They are also instrumental in channeling positive energy to create a harmonious environment.
Nothing sooths the senses like the gentle tones of a bamboo chime. Environmentally sound, bamboo is carefully selected and hand-shaped to create a unique look and delicate sound. (Recommended for relaxation and unwinding, rather than for protective or chi- activating use).
Wind Chimes and Feng Shui
Wind chimes have long been used in the practice of Feng Shui to suppress fast flowing energies and to enhance or weaken malignant stars. Besides being tools, they give off beautiful and calming sounds that add atmosphere to a home.
Traditionalists who practice Flying Star Feng Shui can place a bamboo wind chime where they have Facing Star #9 in their chart. The element of #9 is fire. The bamboo wind chime, being of wood element feeds the fire element of #9, thus enhancing the star.
Tones
Large Bamboo wind chimes produce a deep musical tone. Smaller wind chimes emit the same beautiful sound as the larger chimes, but with a higher tone. With a combination of lilting, delightful tinkling, or exotic, woodsy clacks, you can infuse your living or garden area with your choice of the magical sounds of wooden wind chi.
