Wind chimes turn a passing breeze into soft music. Many people hang them as a simple way to bring a sense of peace and presence to their home.

Choosing a chime

  • Metal tubes ring clear and long.
  • Bamboo and wood make a soft, hollow knock.
  • Ceramic and glass give a light, bright tinkle.

Listen before you choose if you can, and pick a sound you would enjoy hearing many times a day.

Where to hang it

Porches, garden trees, balconies and open windows all work well. Think about your neighbors too, and choose a spot where the sound feels gentle rather than loud.

A small sound ritual

When you hear your chime, pause for one breath and notice where you are. It becomes a little bell of mindfulness throughout the day. To explore more sound, see how to play a singing bowl.
