Fountains of Relief

15 April;  Author: DecoratingWithStyle

tabletop water fountainsWater fountains are common decorations placed in gardens, atriums and entry ways. Many people say they love to sit back and relax to the soft, trickling sounds made by their fountains. And, if you’re one of the people who feel their stress melting away as they relax with their fountain, you’ll be happy to know you are also receiving physical health benefits.

Indoor fountains, like small tabletop water fountains for example, emit purifying negative ions into the air while drowning out distracting background noises. These ions improve your health by maintaining balance in the atmosphere and cleaning the air you breathe. Air that is filled with negatively charged ions contains less allergens, dust particles and pollutants.

 
 

Therapeutic Fountains

dKBCandlesAndChimesIndoorWaterFountainsIf you’re looking for something to help you relax at home or work, and the scented candles, Zen gardens and stress balls just aren’t doing the job, take a look at indoor water fountains. They can be placed inside or out and come in a variety of shapes and styles.

Not only are the fountains nice to look out, but studies have shown that splashing water releases healthful negative ions that bond with unwanted dust particles, bio-aerosols and allergens, and the white noise from the water can drown out the noise of cars, talking, television, and every other distracting and annoying sound that’s stopping you from a relaxing moment.

What is a Cherub?

29 December;  Author: DecoratingWithStyle

cherub garden fountainA cherub is a winged celestial entity, first represented in the Old Testament and the Book of Revelation of the Christian Bible as the second of nine orders of angels, emerging more recently in modern books such as Milton’s Paradise Lost. Usually a cherub is depicted as a small angel, most often an innocent child, with a round, rosy face. The plural of the word cherub can be either cherubs or cherubim, and occasionally “cherubims” is used, as it was in the King James Version of the Christian Bible. Orthodox and Conservative Judaism both include beliefs in the existence of cherubim angels, though some maintain the latter interprets cherubim references to be more figurative than literal in nature.  Reform and Reconstructionist Judaism tend to either use angel references metaphorically or drop them altogether.  However, in Kabbalah, Hasidic Judaism, and Jewish mysticism, cherubim have always been an important component and are regarded as mystical.  Catholic theology ranks cherubim on the second tier of the angelic hierarchy–second to Seraphim.

Christian Biblical art typically depicts cherubim with four wings, sometimes with the faces of lions, oxen, eagles, or adult men. Christianity’s most common adjective referring to cherubim is “many-eyed”, and in certain portraits, their wings are covered with eyes to indicate their all-seeing powers. Western Christianity has often confused cherubim with “putti”, who began appearing in Italian art during the Renaissance period. Putti are pudgy, human, almost exclusively male winged babies, innocent souls who sing daily praises to God. This representation of cherubim has appeared in innumerable church interiors and in addition to the work of Renaissance painters such as Raphael.  Many people are fans of this depiction of cherubs, whose likeness appears on very popular shirts, stationery, wall art, and garden décor accents, such as a cherub garden fountain.
