 Water makes up more than two thirds of the weight of the human body. Our brains are even made up mostly of water; without it our hearts stop beating and our lungs give out. Given that our bodies are largely comprised of water, it is not surprising that people have sought the healing powers of water and to be as close to it as possible since the dawn of time. Today, most popular vacation destinations are on or near water. For those times when you can't soul search on the beaches of Myknonos or Bora Bora, bring the soothing power of water to your home or office with the Creekbed Wall Fountain from Hammacher Schlemmer.
Not only does water have a calming effect on the mind and body, it is effective as white noise, an ambient background sound made up of several frequencies to drown out unpleasant sounds. The sound of flowing water has been used in meditation and relaxation practices for eons and it is well-known in Zen Buddhism that moving water acts as white noise, and that each person may hear a unique melody in the water. This may come in handy the next time the person in the office next to you is having a loud conversation or music from the street travels up to break your concentration or grate your nerves.
Handcrafted in California exclusively for Hammacher Schlemmer, the Creekbed Wall Fountain features copper hoods concealing two 25-watt light fixtures at the top, as well as a quiet, aquarium-style pump and water pan at the bottom. Over time, the copper's distinctive patina will attain a verdigris (greenish-blue) appearance. If you want to prevent this effect, simply clean the fountain with a cotton cloth and wax furniture cleaner. The Creekbed Fountain comes with all hardware required for hanging and a cover for the power cord.
