Dear cecil,
I read on the forum that a women went crazy
after installing the row of wind chimes in her house. I came across the same advise in the lillian too book and in that she says that she installed a row of wind chimes in the NW of her office and kept a fan to blew the wind chimes to attract the opportunities. If wind chimes are so dangerous why they are promoted in every feng shui book. Secondly, so many people in my neighborhood have installed the wind chimes outside their homes and one can hear the tingling sound at all hour. Will it affect my feng shui or health in any way. Thanks.

Dear Anon,
I agree that some FS practioners may use wind chimes to attract wealth. However, the Buddhist and Toaist call the dead using bells.
1. It is best to avoid using metal wind chimes at West, North-West and North-East.
West and North-West are of the Metal Element and Yin locations.
North-East is traditionally the Devil's Gate and one may inadvertently attract imps or playful spirits as they may be attracted to the sound of the wind chime.
2. The above is the traditional reasoning or advice to take note.
3. Most of the time, due to human nature, we do tend to `over-eat' or go to extremes to purchase not one but many wind chimes.
Normally, using our sixth sense, it is not a problem placing a wind chime at a location we feel comfortable with. But many cases, people will go into extremes to use more than one wind chime.
I believe, even for book authors like Lillian Too, she do access the location using Flying Star theory before placing a row of wind chimes at a `correct' location.
There is a difference between analysing a location, finding it suitable to place one or more wind chimes and another person who simply installs wind chimes. The chances are the person may install it in an inauspicious location.
4. Usually you are not affected by your neighbours wind chime unless their apartments are very close by i.e. it is placed eg on a tree and the tree is next to your window.
I have mentioned that usually, one or even two wind chimes are acceptable as the probability of placing them in an `inauspicious' location is lesser.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
