Zen Fountains For Moods And Wishes
Zen fountains are said to create a feeling of well being and peace. The stones are one of the most important elements of a Zen water fountain. The mineral composition of the stones and how they are placed are important elements in the ancient philosophy of Zen. Some fountains are carved completely out of stone. There are mineral stones for every mood.
Zen enthusiasts believe these fountain elements help balance energy and foster harmony at
home
or in the office. A Zen water fountain brings life and light to a dead foyer. People also use them to make odd spaces, nooks and crannies that are useless for furniture, suddenly come alive. A tranquil Zen fountain
can both soothe and serve as a decorative feature. Many skilled artisans now specialize in the art of stone cutting specifically for Zen water fountains. These fountains have caught the attention of big names in the entertainment world. Barbra Streisand, Liam Neeson and Alanis Morissette all own stone Zen fountains. Jerry Seinfeld ordered one, made from green fluorite, and Liza Minnelli commissioned a Zen stone fountain for her indoor New York garden. And when Bruce Springsteen last played Toronto, he sent an agent out to buy a rose quartz Zen fountain for his wife, singer Patti Scialfa. Zen Fountains range from tiny tabletop fountain models, perfect for a condo or patio, to large commissioned pieces, such as a fountain installed in Clearwater, Fla. for one of the Bush family foundations. It features a Swedish granite 8-foot sphere on a black granite base. Usually, the fountains are built in layers with openings between the stone levels. The building stones are layered in a free-form style with light visible between the levels to serve as a focal point for open-eye Zen meditation. The meditative process facilitates a sense of physical and mental well-being.
Select a Zen Fountain Stone for a Mood or Wish
Different stones have different properties. If you need a specific energy, you can choose the stone. For example, amethyst is the stone of protection; fluorite is the money stone; rose quartz opens the heart to love; and clear quartz enables power. Zeolite, a stone found in Poona, India is known as spirit stone. This particular stone was used to create a special meditation fountain commissioned by California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and his wife, Maria Shriver, as a birthday gift for the Dalai Lama. As a spirit stone, Poona zeolite is about accessing the God center – the source, the higher enlightenment. The earth is feminine energy, uniting our minds and hands with rocks, soil and water, while bringing us closer to the spirit. These things can be captured in one small water fountain. On a more practical level, inexpensive and popular for private homes are fountains made with a sandstone base. Sandstone gets rid of old issues; it cleans away the wreckage of the past. Another pleasant Zen water fountain is a wish fountain made with three smooth pebbles. Also popular is a Zen-garden-in-a-pot, featuring a combination of garden-variety plants, bonsai and a fountain Zen gardens and Zen fountains are extremely popular in Europe. You can get plants, pumps and stone at almost any home center in Europe. They can also be purchased online. A
water fountain
placed in your home or garden is not like having your own personal fairy godmother that grants wishes and gives kisses. The fountain is designed to bring harmony and peace into your life and home.
