In Feng Shui, Ch’i or Qi, (either used interchangeably) is the flow of vital life force energy that exists in, and around everything. It is the fundamental concept that governs the flow of energy throughout space. It is energy that permeates everything in the universe, from the earth to living beings. A dynamic force that is constantly moving and interacting.
It's believed that Qi can influence the health, well-being, and overall harmony of individuals within an environment. Feng Shui aims to enhance the flow of positive Qi by optimizing the placement and arrangement of objects and spaces.
Feng Shui uses the nine-sector grid called the Bagua, a compass-like tool used to analyze the flow of Qi in different areas of a home or property. The Ch’i enters from the front door, which is called “The Mouth of Ch’i.” It then flows in a counterclockwise direction following the natural nourishing cycle of the five Feng Shui elements (wood, fire, earth, metal, and water) Water feeds wood, wood feeds fire, fire makes earth, earth makes metal, and metal holds water.
The goal of Feng Shui is to keep the Ch’i flowing without obstructions, such as clutter, flowing out of staircases leading out the front door, or shooting directly from the front door out a back door or window. These can cause the Qi to have negative affects. Because Feng Shui’s goal is to improve our well-being, it aims to control the flow of Qi by using furniture placements, spatial designs, and other material placements so that Qi is redirected in a way that only improves our quality of life.
Understanding Qi can help individuals create a more balanced and harmonious living environment. This can involve rearranging furniture, decluttering, or even adjusting the placement of plants to promote positive Qi flow.
The goal of Feng Shui is to avoid negative Ch’i.
You can actually feel the negative Qi forces such as clutter, or anything else that bothers our five senses of sight, taste, touch, sound, and smell will affect your wellbeing. When you feel stressed, or unhealthy, you are probably experiencing negative Ch'i in your environment.
Touch is about contacts to your skin with non-physical entities. Some examples are wind, heat waves, humidity, static, electric currents, and other types of energy that you can feel with your skin, muscles, and nerves.
It tells us how to regulate the temperature of our home. We can make proper adjustments to keep us warm, or cooler such as making more use of windows for fresh air.
Another example is living under high voltage electric lines. Feng shui tells us that electricity brings negative Qi that affects both our physical and mental health. Researchers are studying how electric currents produce an electro-magnetic field that damages our DNA and cells.
It is the kind of invisible pressure you feel when you’re right next to a bigger object or within a narrow space. Low ceilings, low hanging chandeliers, and huge furniture also tend to give off this form of Qi, but you will feel it only when you’re right under these objects or very close to it.
To avoid this Qi, Feng Shui suggests that we use higher ceilings and avoid placing big furniture right next to our bed. The goal is to give us more comfort where we live.
In a home where proper Feng Shui was applied, you will not be affected by negative Qi that impacts your mental and physical health. Instead, you will be surrounded with other types of Qi that stimulate your senses in a positive way, such as clean air, sunshine, flowers, beautiful art, or other objects you use to keep your spirits up.
When you’re healthy, and light spirited people will enjoy your company, your work productivity will increase, and the overall quality of your life will be better. It’s like how employers are improving office design to achieve higher employee productivity.
Enjoy the positive results of surrounding yourself with positive life force energy.
Blessings
