Personalized Your Windchimes

By Margaret Fox


There are all types of windchimes on the market. Several tend to be more appealing than the others. The Chinese have used windchimes for centuries. And when it comes to Feng Shui, this is a time honored oriental adorning style that has been utilized for centuries. Rooms are made to represent various aspects of life such as family, friends, money, and travel to name just a few aspects. Chinese hanging bells are all about sound and energy and they're meant to attract the higher energy, the good type of course. They can stimulate stagnant energy and they also can eliminate bad energy. And while doing all that, they make a great sounding windchime.

The sound of windchimes relies on the material, the length of the items or tubes, the thickness of the material, and material of the striker. When dangling the windchimes, its sound should be pleasing to you. Don't forget that it's possible to create windchimes with no striker, but it typically won't work effectively because all of the elements swing together instead of striking. An exception takes place when a couple of flat or somewhat curved pieces are put close together so they spin or oscillate enough to hit all those close by. The tubes must always be cored.

The other way, the windchimes are item of decoration. They differ in number of tubes; by this difference you can balance various areas of your life. Just focusing on the tones of the windchimes can aid calm your mind and release tension. Relaxing your mind, the tones of the windchimes help to release all of that stored up anxiety. This comforting effect helps open up your spiritual awareness and has been utilized by a lot of ethnicities for years and years.

You could also make use of personalized windchimes for decor in your home. These kinds of windchimes are more of a novelty type. They will be available every imaginable design and color. Because they hang in your house they don't chime unless placed in an open window or in front of an electric fan. They are intended more for show, usually more delicate, and so being in wind can break them. The common theme in making personalized windchimes is if you can hang it on string so that the hanging items hit against one another in the breeze. If it's to be an outside chime, make certain the materials are durable enough to not break. One basic type of personalized chimes you may see is homemade ones. Popular ones can be made from spoons and forks. The only limit really is the creator's imagination. Beads are also favorite choices for making personalized windchimes.

The dimensions of personalized windchimes is determined by what type of musical tones you'd like them to make and visual tastes. If you prefer small tinkling sounds, small wind personalized chimes are great. At the furthest end of the tonal spectrum, extremely big personalized chimes will provide a rich, deep vibrating tone. The visual effects depend on the size you find pleasant to the eye as far as color, design and decor enjoyment.
