Japanese Glass Wind Chimes – Bring Peace and Serenity To Your Garden

Wind chimes have been in existence for over 5000 years. They are one of the world's oldest musical instruments and are known world-wide today to help sooth and calm people by their sweet and melodic sounds.

Japanese glass wind chimes, or simply glass wind chimes began appearing in about 1000 BC along the Mediterranean. Shortly thereafter, it was often seen in Far Eastern temples as a method to ward off evil demons and spirits. Today, Japanese glass wind chimes are used for garden and yard decoration as well as indoors near windows or where a breeze will “catch” it as well as on patios, decks and entryways of many homes.

Feng Shui uses Japanese glass wind chimes (as well as those made of other materials) to aid in organizing and directing the travel of energy through a space in order to provide the best possible flow of positive energy around you. But Feng Shui is only one use of wind chimes and there are many, many more.

In our far, far past, wind chimes were used as a type of scarecrow in gardens to alarm small pest animals like rabbits and raccoons. Many backyard gardeners still do this today and Japanese glass wind chimes are the perfect choice for this use. Not only are they often beautiful pieces of art, they DO help keep those pesky rabbits out of your baby lettuce leaves!

Of course we can't ignore the most time honored reason for Japanese glass wind chimes and that is the sense of peace and tranquility that they bring to us. After coming home from a long and hard day at work, there is nothing quite so soothing as sitting in the garden or on the deck and letting the melodies of a wind chime help to relax your mind, body and soul.

Japanese glass wind chimes can have a healing effect on both the mind and the body. The sounds of the wind chimes are thought to release stress and emotional blockage and calm the mind. Wind chimes can reduce anger and tension and promote a sense of well-being. It is also believed that wind chimes can bring a sense of harmony and balance to ones garden and home.

From warding off evil spirits to providing a calm and soothing background noise in a garden, the Japanese glass wind chime has been with us for a long time and will continue to bring a sense of peace and balance to us all.
