Pennies in the Fountain

Something is refreshing about the clear water of a fountain.  Yesterday, I changed the water of our front fountain - a "spring cleaning" ritual.  Now there are three reserve watering holes for the dogs.  This year I hope the new filter matter will suffice and require less cleaning. 

Our decision to replace the flower box with a fountain (even with the required maintenance) was a good one.  It is good Feng Shui to see the clear water and hear the bubbling of a fountain as you enter our house.

 Feng Shui literally translates  "wind-water.  While we didn't research the deeper puesdo science, the "experts" say that placement of a fountain in the right location will bring you wealth and fortune (good luck).  Naturally there are divergent opinions among the "experts" so I guess I will pick the one that suggests it is excellent Feng Shui to have a fountain near the front door.

Here's what one "expert" (Rol.vn - Source: Love To Know) says: 

(1) The front of the house is always an excellent choice for the location of an outside water fountain as it activates and retains positive chi, allowing it to freely enter into the home.
(2) Water flowing toward the front door of the house symbolizes wealth and prosperity.
(3) Chosing Copper is good.  If fountain is made of stone or cement (ours is surrounded by brick), remedy the destructive cycle (of blocking the water) by placing copper pennies in the fountain.

Here's the summary of another "expert" (Lin Mai):

(1) It is also important to make sure that the water in your wealth fountain is clean at all times. This will reflect how clean and steady the flow of your financial feng shui life will be, constant and never slowing. Skipping regular water maintenance will cause a stoppage in the flow of wealth and energy will be stagnant so make sure to keep it well looked after.
(2) When placing a feng shui water fountain by a door, make sure that the water flows towards your door and not away from it.
(3) Water fountains are effective regardless of size, but in this case, larger can sometimes be better.
(4) Placing a feng shui water fountain in the Wealth area of your home is one of the most effective cures to attract more money into your feng shui life.

So there you have it - get more wealth in your life by putting pennies in your front door fountain.  People visiting will throw more pennies in.  :)
