Water Fountains The Goodness Of The Gurgle

For many centuries now, water fountains have been centering our focus of attention in parks

, palaces, government buildings, monuments, and private estates, consciously and subconsciously. On a hot summer day, they act as natural dehumidifiers while also giving a chance for the crowds to enjoy the water spectacle. Also they double up as thirst quenchers for birds and pets. Blessed are the Japanese and the Chinese, who dragged the idea, indoors.

Practitioners of contemporary alternative medicine might recommend that you listen to relaxation CDs created basing naturally occurring sounds or sound boxes that replicate the sound of oceans or flowing water for a few minutes daily, to bring down your stress levels. The lack of digital players and boom boxes to listen to sounds of flowing water might have spurned them, ancients, to follow a more natural course of taste in replicating the sight and sound of nature, indoors. Indoor use of water fountains dates back to many centuries ago with the Chinese inventing the Feng Shui (water wind) theories way back in 3500 BC and the Japanese understanding of the positive mental states induced by the effect of moving water inspired the Zen masters to experiment with indoor water pools. The use of water as an inducer of positive energy, indoors, connected all objects with a force of nature, thereby mitigating and negating the ill effects of the negative energy emitted by things, manmade.

The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration provides a scientific explanation on what the Zen masters said - that a flowing stream of water, on impact with air, releases negative ions which in-turn impacts the serotonin level in the human brain which has its say on happiness and enhanced positive mental states. It simulates the action of an anti-depressant through a natural means, providing calming relief from strained and stressed-out nerves, and that too without the intake of drugs. Can we start dreaming of an anti-depressant free world by promoting indoor water fountains? (Common! Be realistic)

It is not without reason that water fountains are getting installed in homes and offices of all shapes and sizes, outdoors and indoors. In addition to promoting a sense of well being, it also acts as a natural dehumidifier, helping you breathe easy and negating the need to employ electronic additions to do the job for you. Its cooling-the-air effect complements the skins natural affinity for water while the sound of flowing water cuts out noises from the surrounding and replacing it with healthier, natural gurgling sound. More over a well place water fountain will release you from the need to buy an air purifier as it removes as much or more pollutants as a conventional air purifier does consequently bring down your power bills. Natural sounds have positive effects on human consciousness and mental states. Remember? We were all a lot closer to nature before civilization dragged us indoors and that truth is already printed in our genes. When winter draws to an end, havent you listened to melting ice turning into murmuring streams of water that gurgles down the slopes to welcome the break of spring? Its soft sound talked to many a poet and created dreamers out of ordinary men and will continue to inspire whether you are a conscious lover of nature or not.
