Are you thinking of adding a water feature to your garden this year?
A water feature creates great Feng Shui by establishing a sense of reflection, depth and refreshing vitality in your space.
If a fountain, bird bath or small pond are in your future, you’ll want to place it properly and in the most auspicious location to encourage good Feng Shui.
According to the Feng Shui Garden Bagua Map, the best locations for your water feature are the Life Journey, Family/New Beginnings, or Wealth/Prosperity sectors of your garden.
These three areas are nourished by Water in the Five Elements cycle that drives Chi flow in Feng Shui.
The Water element represents your Life Journey and Career, the sector that’s located in the bottom center of your garden, near its entryway.
Likewise it nourishes the Wood element that’s associated with the Wealth sector in the back left corner as well as the adjacent Family and New Beginnings sector.
It’s just as important to make sure that your water feature flows in the most auspicious direction.
Any fountain or stream that you set up for good Feng Shui should flow inwards, towards the center of your garden. When its flow is directed outwards you will lose out on the benefits of its natural Chi energy.
Good luck with your new fountain!
