One of my favourite, and most distinctive, memories from my childhood is the gentle tinkling sound of a set of bamboo wind chimes that hung just outside the back door of my aunt’s house. For as long as I can remember she had those little chimes hanging in the same spot and now that she is living in her new home she still has them - the very same set. They must be over forty years old to my knowledge!
There is an interesting history behind wind chimes and if you believe in the principles of Feng Shui they will bring you peace and harmony. Not only that, but if you hang a set by the front door they are said to ensure you a constant flow of money and good fortune. Don’t hang them in a draughty spot though or else they will drive you bonkers.
One of the most relaxing things to me is to sit in the garden and listen to the little chimes tinkling gently in a breeze - the birds love them. Give them a try - introduce some Zen into your life.
