We need to take their minds off things for even just a while during break time amid the rigors & stresses of a busy working day. There are many ways of doing this but nothing tops the sight and sound of water to soothe the beast within. Im talking of the upshots of a tabletop water fountain right inside your own office.


These table fountains are little , landscaped gardens designed to mimic the features of a large-scale fountain complete with the same materials used such as rocks, pebbles, and sand, even real plants. These pieces are a big hit with yuppies particularly those familiar with the characteristics of a Zen landscape.


However, if you are not so crazy about meditation, studies have proven that the auditory experience of running water can calm most individuals. You dont need to have a background on meditation in order to enjoy the sight of water filling up a bamboo pitcher then decanting into a pond & the sound of water trickling over rocks.


Basing on the discipline of Feng Shui, a fountain is a good thing as it generates the vital essence of this element into the place. All that has to be done is to place it in the appropriate position and the positive energy will come in.


There are a lot of designs to choose from. The bamboo pitcher mentioned earlier where the laws of physics are being demonstrated is one example. The bamboo jug is slowly being filled with water, when the weight of the water causes it to swivel on its joints it tips to pour the water out, in the process it creates a thumping sound as it hits against another bamboo stem. The whole cycle continues creating a steady constant rhythm.


Needless to say, there's one where the water flows down from a tiny mountain of rock imitating nature. It looks like a miniature brook.


One more design that physical laws are again utilized to create beauty. Marble spheres are being rolled around by the gush of water. The transfer of energy from the resilient water to the sturdy marble orb is demonstrated here. Some even have dramatic lighting installed so that the globe would look like an otherworldly planet in the dark.


Some other fountains are pretty simple with the water weeping down a textured dam creating a curtain of shimmering wall. Of course, there's the traditional scene of a country house with a water wheel on the side churning out in a steady pace.

Water features and table top fountains have become more popular in the last decade. Part of this is because the sound of water has long been known to be soothing and relaxing, and is often used during meditation. Many people enjoy the sound of running water in their daily lives. It can be heard in personal gardens, at local parks, at community fountains, or at large indoor fountains that many offices and businesses now use for a more feng shui feel to the work environment. Many doctor's and dentists especially find water features comforting to patients. The sound offers a bit of tranquility, and the fountain offers a touch of beauty to help set people at ease.
