No matter what we call it; Chi is the life force at the heart of all existence.
Chi is the vital force that breathes life into animals / humans / plants & nature – it causes the movement of water, it inflates the earth to create mountains, it animates everything and is the driving force of all existence.
Chi is the field of information that connects us all.
Chi is the unseen life force (energy) that exists in all living things.
The new physics now agrees with the eastern mystics emphasizing the interconnectedness of all things.
We now are able to look at situations & life having a recognizable pattern of probable occurrences.
All of the events that we are able to observe in our world are contained within an underlying pattern that is cyclic in nature.
Summary
You, your home and all your possessions are made of energy.
You, your home & all your possessions have an energetic connection.
Chi is everywhere & connects us to everything in the universe.
Chi is the very breath we take.
Chi is life giving energy.
Chi is used Feng Shui, Acupuncture, Martial Arts, Painting & Healing
Chi is always in a state of change; chi accumulates, disperses, expands, contracts.
Chi moves & likes to flow with ease and grace, gently and slowly in curves, not too slow and not too fast.
Chi needs to be able to flow throughout every room, every corner and space within your home - to nourish your home and its occupants.
We need to identify & direct Chi to benefit our well being
