Did you know that the wind chime has ancient beginnings? The first wind chimes appeared in China thousands of years ago. From Bali to Japan, the bells and chimes were decorated and placed on the eaves of temples and shrines. Imagine walking by as thousands of chimes came alive in the breeze. Bells and chimes were used as a call to prayer, to prepare the mind for meditation and even during prayer to help with focus and concentration. It was understood that the chimes enhanced spiritual awareness.
The Eastern culture has long understood the healing effects of wind chimes. Sound vibrations help remove emotional blockages and clear our mind. Even today, people claim that the sound of a wind chime outside their bedroom window or in their garden brings them a feeling of calm and peaceful well being. The sound of a wind chime can erase the ill effects of city traffic and other noise pollution. Science is now catching up with what healers have known for centuries- sound can have a profound healing effect.
