If you have heard about #FengShui you have probably heard about #Qi (pronounced “chi”) and you have probably asked yourself what is it?
Qi is the backbone of #ChineseMetaphysics, it is the subject matter of practices like feng shui, traditional Chinese medicine (#TCM), acupuncture or meditation, to name some.
Qi is the energy that circulates and permeates the universe: Qi is within us, around us and throughout the whole universe.
Qi is known as universal energy or life force because it brings life to all-natural things, from mountains, to rivers, to human beings. But for Qi to bring life it has to flow, if Qi gets stuck, it causes problems and eventually life stops.
Qi has two basic forms: Yin and Yang. A perfect world or a perfect life requires Yin and Yang to be in perfect balance.
In our body Qi flows through the meridian system, an invisible energy system that contains energy points and energy centers. All sicknesses are caused by Qi blockages in that system, when the blockages are removed through acupuncture or other healing techniques, we restore the flow of Qi and achieve health.
On earth, Qi flows on the wind (feng) and rests on the water (shui). Qi is conceived through the interaction between the universe and earth’s natural forms (mountains and rivers), and it is contained, conducted and/or emanated by those natural forms. Qi can be favorable and in such case it nourishes, or unfavorable and in such case it harms.
Classical feng shui focuses on the flow of Qi on earth. After thousands of years of empirical research the Chinese established rules to assess it and to quantify its benefits on properties depending on the properties’ connection to the environment and the way they receive Qi.
Qi always flows from the external environment to the internal environment and the main objective of feng shui is to facilitate the flow of favorable Qi into and within properties.
We cannot see Qi flow but we can determine the features that are conducive of favorable Qi flow and the features that are conducive of unfavorable Qi flow.
None of the objects inside a property generates Qi, Qi has to be received from outside, this is why it is important to assess the connection of properties to the land based on the position of their doors.
The assessment of Qi can be visual or by formula. If we cannot see the physical features, we can still get an idea of the quality of Qi that properties receive, based on formulas.
Whether we are looking at forms or using formulas we have to understand the theory of the five elements water, wood, fire, earth and metal, which are the phases or movements of Qi in the environment, generated from the interaction between yin and yang..
The elements can be physical, for instance a pond for water, a plant for wood, a candle for fire, a crystal for earth and a copper figure for metal, but they are mostly calculated and represented by the direction and location of stars. Applying the five elements theory allows us to achieve Qi balance and fix problems.
Ideal feng shui is simple: The environment should produce the element of the property and the property should produce the element of the occupants, the more time the occupants stay in that property, the better their lives will be.
Stay tuned to learn how to apply this simple feng shui principle or contact me to apply additional principles and get even better and faster results.

Feng shui is an ancient practice developed over 3,000 years ago in China. Feng shui is not religion or superstition; it is a science because its formulas and fundamentals are based on empirical research and it is an art because experience and judgment are critical in the analysis. Feng Shui focuses on the study of Qi (pronounced “chi”, which is vital life energy) and how it can be harnessed to create harmonious living; better health, successful career or business, and fulfilling relationships for the people inhabiting the space.
