CHI ENERGY

CHI travels everywhere. CHI or "QI" surrounds us, it is the cosmic breath. Feng Shui is based on the concept that our universe (not just earth) is filled with this energy. There is no exact translation for the word CHI in the English language, therefore it is an extremely word (meaning) to explain, and in essence it's energy. I will try give you a better idea what CHI is, take a look at the famous "Ta Chi" symbol.

            

The Tai Chi symbol above is said to represent the whole of the universe, it represents good and bad, light and dark, black and white, strong and weak these forces compliment each other, they don't conflict with each other. These forces (CHI) are in a constant state of flux (change).

Sheng chi, the "cosmic dragon's breath" or beneficial energy that brings good luck and happiness. When you practice Feng Shui, you're simply accumulating and directing the "flow" of sheng chi. You're also working to avoid shar chi which is bad energy, sometimes referred to as "killing breath." Shar chi comes in straight, sharp blows and disrupts the balance and harmony of carefully accumulated sheng chi.

The balance that helps to channel, sheng chi hinges on the idea of yin and yang. The Chinese believe that everything in existence contains yin and yang, opposite but complementary qualities that cannot exist independently of one another. Yin is generally the dark, still quality, while yang is bright and active. You must always seek to balance light and dark.

Looking closely at the Tai Chi symbol, we see a tiny dot of white in the dark section and a tiny dot of black in the white section, This serves to remind us there is a spark of light in the darkness and vice a versa.

Within YANG There is an element of YIN

Within YIN There is an element of YANG

 

Our environment is constantly being bombarded by forces we cannot see examples of these would be mobile phones, radio waves, TV signals, satellites, micro waves, sonar. We cannot sense these forces but with the aid of certain objects we can easily prove they exist, simply by switching on your radio, TV, etc, etc. Putting it simply just because we cannot see or feel it, proves nothing.
