Wind Chimes Are A Pleasant Present Of Tranquility

By Wendy Criswell

If you are stuck on what to get your favorite friend or even a parent for the next occasion you would be doing everyone a huge service by getting them wind chimes. Their sound is one of pleasant sweetness that can be truly appreciated by just about anyone. As the sounds of the night provide a gentle harmony for the melody of the chimes, your loved ones will be forever grateful for the gift.

It's amazing, really. When you have a set of wind chimes that you know and love you completely notice their absence. When you give someone this unique gift of natural music you are actually giving them the gift of peace and serenity. People who suffer from trauma or even post traumatic stress syndrome have often found the chronic nightly sounds of the chimes to be comforting enough to help them fall asleep.

Daytime naps are made just a little more peaceful with the sound of the chimes in the background. There is a simple pleasure in sitting with a good book and hearing the sounds of the chimes. These are little pleasures that can make a huge difference in the lives of those who know and love. No matter what issues plague an individual the sound can be calming and soothing.

It can offer an anchor in the middle of stress. It can be soothing to loneliness. We respond very rapidly to sound, and this is one that we are drawn to.

You don't want to overload a home by attaching too many variations of sound to it. One or two chimes is often enough to create the beautiful music of nature right outside your window. Each chime offers its very own creation of sound. Blending too many can end up sounding overpowering and out of tune. One metal and one wood version is usually enough for complimentary sound.

You don't want to go overboard. Naturally, you want to ensure that the sounds to not become muddled. Thus, be wary not to create an overload of sound by adding too many chimes to one small area. You can usually have ample sound with just one or two.

Your gift will be one of perpetual peace that gives the recipient a new form of comfort that they may not have the good fortune to experience. Giving a gift of wind chimes is a gift that will last well beyond the moment that it is opened. It is a gift of a lifetime of peaceful and tranquil experiences waiting just around the corner.
