The Benefits of Water Fountains and Waterfalls

Outdoor Fountains and Garden Plantersare a beautiful addition to any backyard or patio. They are scientifically proven to soothe and relax us as we are able to slow down, listen and enjoy the sound of running water just as we would if we were out in nature.
Water fountains and waterfalls – which come in tabletop, wall mounted, and free standing varieties – bring the soothing sounds of flowing water to the home, but they also bring a visual element. Not only are water fountains and waterfalls beautifully designed and able to complement just about any existing home décor, the water itself lends another dimension of stress relief to the equation. Watching the dance and trickle of water as it flows across rocks, down textured surfaces, and into a basin at the bottom enhances our auditory experience. When we listen to sound machines or audio recordings of nature sounds, we may feel the need to close our eyes to block out visual distractions around us that take our minds away from the goal of relaxation. In contrast, the visual attributes of water fountains and waterfalls bring us closer to that goal by giving us something beautiful and elemental to focus on with our eyes as we listen with our ears.
Learning how to relax and focus is the ideal way to start of 2009….Good Luck!
