Today I am thankful for wind chimes. I just love them, especially on a day such as this one, when a strong gust of wind can send the breeze into song. I have quite a few sets of wind chimes, and they're all hanging from one huge White Oak tree in my front yard. I have some really long ones that play deep, melodious notes. I also have some tiny, tinkly ones that chirp at the wind. I have one made of shells, one of bamboo, and brass ones. I would love very much to fill that entire tree with wind chimes, so that every little wisp of a breeze would set off a symphony. I find them so relaxing, kind of like sound energy therapy. I've read that the resonance and vibration of the wind chimes sound can release stress and emotional blockages in the body. The sound calms the mind which expands conscious awareness and connection with spirit. The positive sounds of wind chimes promote relaxation and reduce anger and tension. It is also said that wind chimes help enhance the mind/body/spirit connection, bringing us a sense of peace and well being. Well I don't know about all that New Age mumbo-jumbo. I just know that I like them VERY much. And on this blustery day I can hear them through every open window in the house, and I feel so calm and peaceful. In this day and age, serenity can be hard to come by, so today I express my gratitude for the simple, tranquil sound of wind chimes.
