Ch'i Flow
Everything is alive
All things in the physical world are endowed with living energy. Known as Ch'i, this includes material possessions such as cars, computers, furniture, rocks, plants and buildings down to something as small a toy or ornament.
Another form of Ch'i is the comfort of harmony given by loving memories, personal responses and treasured mementos.
Everything is connected
There are many experiences in life that influence our life's course; luck, destiny, good acts that create good karma, as well as study, personal development and discipline.
With Feng Shui an important consideration is Ch'i (pronounced "chee") and it translates as "breath" & "energy".
On a large scale Ch'i is the energy or force that creates mountains, directs wind, and the ripples a pebble makes when thrown in a pond.
Moderation and enhancement of ch'i flow is the underlying aim of Feng Shui. Good ch'i flow in a home improves the ch'i of your family members.
The concept of ch'i is essential for evaluating any home, office or block of land, and all their internal and external elements.
By balancing the energy in your environment, your own energy will be in harmony and it will draw to you, people and opportunities that reflect this balance. Your environment indirectly determines the type of relationships, finances, career opportunities, etc you attract.
