If there is a Vastu dasha in a dwelling, its negative effects are expected to affect every member of the family. When it comes to Feng Shui practices, wind chimes are regarded as highly auspicious entities that prove to be highly successful in spreading happiness and prosperity within a family while providing an effective means to overcome vastu dasha imbalances existing in a dwelling. The soft and melodious sound of wind chimes and their positive influence are expected to destroy negative effects and overcome vastu dasha flaws. Special attention should be focused on ensuring that the sound created by the wind chime is soft and melodious to welcome good luck and pave the way for development and progress.

Where and what type of wind chime do you place?

Wind chimes can be made using various materials like wood, metal, fibre, glass, or clay. As per Vastu rules, wind chimes should be installed according to directions. Here's an easy-to-follow guide that will give you an idea of how to select wind chimes corresponding to directions:

East, South-East (Agni), and South

The above directions are related to the wood element. Placement of the wooden wind chime in this direction will activate the positive energy and yield favourable results.

Metal wind chimes are believed to be ideal for installation in these directions. They ensure that there is harmony, peace, and understanding among the family members.

North-East (Ishan) and the centre of the house

The material that should be used in making wind chimes here includes earth, crystal, or ceramic. This position is said to promote the success and overall progress of family members.

South-West (Nairitya)

Hanging the wind chime in this direction brings about a strengthening of the relationships in life. Wind chimes that are made up of wood, clay, or metal will work well in this direction.

How many rods should a wind chime consist of, and where should it be located?

Main entrance

If there is a vastu dasha close to the entry, it is advised that you install a four-rood wind chime. This needs to be installed in a manner that it sways as people enter their house, making a soothing sound in the background, which is believed to increase the entry of positive Vastu in that place.

Study room

For an escape from health problems and removing bastu deficiencies in the study room, a five-rod wind chime can be very useful. It is also believed that it helps in achieving success in all spheres of life. In cases of an overly rebellious and stubborn child, a six-rod wind chime in his or her room can lead to improvement.

Living room

Entrance door of the living room, where guests always enter, an installation with six rods wind chime is placed. The sound made when guests move past the wind chime can affect their behaviour and attitude in a way perceived to be excellent.

Office or workspace

An eight-rod wind chime can also be kept in the office. If one is having trouble concentrating or finding impediments at work, an eight-rod wind chime is also believed to aid in clearing out obstructions and helping one concentrate.

For stronger relationships

To build stronger relationships, a nine-rod wind chime is also useful in spreading love, closeness, and emotional bonding within families. The idea is that the device facilitates the movement of positive energies in the house while minimising the effects of negative energies.
