You may often see it written either Qi or as it’s pronounced Chi, “chee”.
Chi is one of the basic principles / concept of Feng Shui.
Chi is the life force at the heart of all existence. It 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 can be described as the field of information that connects us all.
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.
Chi-is the unseen life force (energy) that exists in all living things.
You & your home and all possessions are made of energy – and so you, your home & all possessions have an energetic connection.
Simply:
- Chi is everywhere & connects us to everything in the universe.
- Chi is the very breath we take.
- Chi is a life giving energy.
Chi is used not only in Feng Shui but also Acupuncture, Martial Arts, Painting & Healing
It’s important to understand what ideal Chi flow looks and feels like.
Even though you cannot see Chi you can interpret the flow of Chi around you.
Chi is always in a state of change; chi accumulates, disperses, expands, contracts.
Involves a flow of Chi between heaven earth and man
Heaven influences- your destiny,
Earth influences- energies from the earth & surroundings,
Man influences- your thoughts & actions, purpose & desired outcomes.So we aim for 100% of high vibrational chi flow in the cycle -heaven to earth-earth to man- man to heaven.
