Dear Anon,

Further to what I had mentioned earlier:-

1. Usually there is no major impact on the placement of metal wind chimes other finding a family member sleeping close to it could perhaps have nightmares.

2. It is the belief that nightmares are usually cased by playful imps, and in some cases cause nightmares especially if metal wind chimes are used (in the West, NW - which are the metal element sectors).

Because, of the time element, where, if one place a wind chime at a particular sector, utimately there can be a situation where, there could be perhaps too much imbalance of the metal element at a sector... and it could cause the above.

One can chart this out say using tools such as Flying Star analysis, say by day analysis. Usually with certainty.. where at certain day and time... there may be a large concentration of either too yin elements falling at a particular sector which usually may attract these playful imps...

3. Another area is the North East (devil's gate) or SW (devil's backdoor) where especially again if there is at a certain period where too much yin elements congregate or during the dreaded `seventh lunar' month... metallic vibrations or tune could invarably attract a ghost or spirit into the home.

4. The above concept lies with the idea that for the Buddhist or Toaist... using bells etc... are used to attract the dead.

This is evident in the Chinese rites that are performed for the dead. This is where someone died and religious cremony is done to `call' the dead.. from say their home to their resting place.... using such metal sounds...

5. Majority of the time, many people are still lucky when using metal such as wind chimes. As metal is still the widely used `cure' or preventive cure in curing both the dreaded bad wood element and bad earth element. It is thru pure unluckness that one may occassional place such items at the wrong place and the wrong time.

Usually, this is done when, one used two or more wind chimes at various locations thus instead of providing the `lucky' cure.. it attracts the wrong time of `help'.... one up here for the ghostly spirit....usually this is bad luck...

One has to remember that too much or `over eating.. FS can give one indigestion.. or ever a severe stomach ache...

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
