Wind chimes have been around for thousands of years. In China, Japan, and India, wind bells help to attract positive energy and suppress ill luck. The gentle tinkling sound that emanates from it helps this energy to linger on and meander gently in your space thereby attracting prosperity.
Today, wind chimes are used around the world for many reasons. Some are still protective in function, while others serve as memorials to the dearly departed. The chimes can be made of wood, metal, ceramic, glass, or other materials. The possibilities for shapes and colors are near infinite.
Nowadays, wind chimes are often hung on a balcony, porch, or a wire stand in the garden. The best wind chimes are part artwork and part percussive instrument, but they don’t all sound alike. Their melodies can be tranquil and calm, or playful and lively. Either way, wind chimes add a mood-lifting touch to a patio, garden, balcony, or porch.
