Qi, sometimes spelled Chi, is thought to represent the body’s natural energy flow. Some Asian cultures believe that maintaining a formal balance of Chi within your body will strengthen your body and mind.

Since water is essential to life, feng shui practitioners believe it is closely tied with a person’s chi.  The natural sound of running water can help ease your mind and subconsciously remind the body that it is close to its natural elements. Therefore, it is beneficial to have water flow or running water in your home or office.

To include water in your home or office, many people create ponds, design water landscapes, place fountains, or even use a fish tank. The running water is thought to help promote a calming balanced atmosphere as well help bring good fortune.

Have fun and experiment. You may find that the sound of running water may help ease your mind as well.
