Chi
Energy
What has
come to be called "Chi" is a subtle flow of
electromagnetic energy which links all things in the universe. For
thousands of years people have been aware of energy moving through the
universe, connecting everything in it like a huge computer
network. Kirilian photography has documented the energy that is
present in our bodies and plants and all living things.
Chi
stays mainly within entities such as human bodies, plants and animals, but
it also constantly flows in and out from other
sources. Your personal Chi energy is always mixing
with the Chi energy around you. In this way you are connected
to the immediate environment, and ultimately to the whole universe, as
ripples of Chi energy from for away reach you.
The flow
of Chi energy from one entity to another is an importance concept of Feng
Shui. The Chi energy you take in from your environment
influences your mood, emotions, physical energy and over time, your
health. Chi energy is carried through the environment by
wind, water, the sun's solar energy, light and sound. The name Feng
Shui, which literally means "wind and water", reflects the way Chi
energy moves. The aim of Feng Shui is to enable you to
position yourself where this natural flow of Chi energy helps you
to realize your goals and your dreams in life.
