Easy Way to Happiness

When you study Feng Shui design to apply it to your home, you’ll notice the word “chi” on a regular basis. Chi is referring to universal energy. This basically means that the ancient Chinese believed that everything around you – land, trees, buildings – has energy of its own.

Feng Shui Chi happens to have two sides, just like yin and yang, meaning that both bad and good Chi exist. You’ll also find that Chi is found in different shapes based on nature’s elements – fire, wood, earth, water and metal. To extrapolate further, Chi can be broken down even beyond the five elements to the Feg Shui colors that correspond with those elements.

Feng Shui House has various goals but the most important one involves channeling or guiding the energy in areas where you spend time. You want good Chi in your living and work space because it keeps the energy flow positive and feeds your spirit too. Positive Chi that brings your environment to live is known as Sheng Chi. Where you have positive, you also have negative. This negative energy is called Si Chi and Sha Chi which literally translates to low and depressing and sharp and attacking.

Sheng Chi in detail

“Sheng” literally means energy movement that is rising. This means that Sheng Chi is uplifting and vibrant energy. This positive energy or life force is is good for your entire well being.

There are many forms of Sheng Chi, most come from nature or an indoor environment that is clean. If you remember, Chi is that energy contained in everything. There is nothing with more power when it comes to energy than thriving parts of nature like a grove of trees or the beach.

Si Chi and Sha Chi = Bad Chi

When you have good, you have bad. Si Chi is a depressing, festering type of energy. It can make you feel like you’re dying, feeling stifled and foggy. If you were in this type of environment for very long, you would start dealing with sickness.

Sha Chi refers more to the architectural elements or decorative elements on the inside or outside of your home that has a violent nature. Outside structures that have corners or sharp points that are pointing into the home are considered to be Sha Chi.

The reason you need to understand both good and bad Chi is so you are able to use them in Feng Shui House to combat the negative, destructive energy and turn it into energy that is cleansing and positive.
