Feng Shui House – Principles of Feng Shui Energies
When studying Feng Shui House to apply it to your home, you will run across the term "Chi" many times. Universal energy is represented by the word Chi. Basically this means the Chinese of long ago thought that everything - land, trees, buildings - has energy of its own.
There are two sides to Feng Shui Chi, such as yin and yang, meaning that both bad and good Chi exist. You'll also find that Chi is found in different shapes based on the five elements found in nature - metal, earth, wood, water, and fire. To take it a bit further, Chi can go beyond being broken into the elements of nature to the corresponding Feng Shui colors that embody them.
There are several goals of Feng Shui House but the most important one involves Chi, and learning how to guide it in the space where you work or live. You want good Chi in your living and work space since it feeds the spirit and keeps the flow of energy positive. The positive Chi that enlivens your environment is referred to as Sheng Chi. Where you have positive, you also have negative. This negative energy is called Si Chi and Sha Chi, meaning low, attacking, sharp, and depressing.
