Indoor fountains have long been symbols of abundance and good fortune. Water nourishes our crops which provide us with food and enables us to live healthy lives and achieve prosperity. People realized this and began to place indoor water fountains into their homes. Feng Shui began with the development of agriculture in ancient China to direct beneficial energy inherent in the elements into everyday tasks and common spaces. Feng means wind and Shui means water. The factors contributing to proper placement of water come from the geography of the landscape and the flow of life force energy known as Chi. Chi is retained by water and carried and dispersed by wind. Chi is strongly present on pathways, rivers, waterfalls and streams. Indoor fountains can have a beneficial effect on the circulation of Chi in an interior setting. The flowing water on indoor fountains can help clean the air and can be used as an aspect of fountain integrative medicine. Air is usually filled with many dust particles and other airborne material. If you have ever seen a ray of sunlight in a dark room you can see all the dust which normally floats through the air. The movement of water on a water feature slowly circulates the air around it. As the air comes into contact with the water dust particles are removed from the air because they adhere to the water. This is one reason why your waterfall should have it's water changed periodically. The dust the water has removed from the air cannot evaporate out like the water can. These particles can remain in the water even if you add more water and build up over time resulting in stale water. The peaceful sights and sounds of waterfalls can also be used as a tool in complementary and alternative medicine to help people relax and respond better to therapeutic treatments. An indoor fountain can improve concentration and promote relaxation. In spaces where there are many different sources of noise the flow of water can produce a white noise barrier which is consistent and predictable. Many therapy centers use white noise generators to help patients focus on an uninterrupted train of thought. Wall waterfalls can serve this purpose with an additional visual element of flowing water and soft lighting. This predictability promotes relaxation because the mind does not need to be alert to distracting sounds which need to be continually interpreted and acted upon. Living and working in this type of environment with unpredictable noise can result in irritability and loss of productivity. In addition, some of these wall features can be specially made with anti-microbial coatings and ultraviolet lighting to inhibit the growth of microorganisms for use in healthcare settings. |
