PRINCIPLE OF FENG SHUI

 

In Feng Shui Qi and Chi are of very high value as they have a lot of energy in it. In fact, if we define it in the feng shui, qi represents the understanding of climate, structure orientation, time and interaction with the surrounding environment. We will understand this in detail in sometime. Feng shui means “wind water” and until the creation of the magnetic compass, Chinese based their study on the astronomy and they used circumpolar stars to determine the north-south axis of settlements.

• The most important principles therefore are ‘earth luck’, the energies that are present in your space and time. These energies are already available in time and space. 
• ‘man luck’, which are your own actions and free will. This luck determines how well you utilize the opportunities that come to you. 
• ‘heaven luck’, which is your fate and destiny. This is the one that you cannot control. 

Every person is different and everyone’s luck is also different. This is the reason that people feel differently even though they visit a common place. Qi is a Chinese word meaning "flowing vital energy." People, places and things absorb, store and emanate qi. Heaven (Sky) Qi is the energy that comes down from the sky. Examples are the sun’s rays granting warmth and light and the moon affecting ocean tides. Earth Qi is that energy that is beneath the ground. In order to understand the Earth Qi at a specific place we need to understand the factors there like the vegetation, trees, plants and wildlife. A healthy rainforest exhibits rich earth qi, as does a green luxuriant forest—even a backyard garden can benefit a home. The energy of Feng Shui can be good (Sheng Qi), or weakening (Si Qi), or harmful (Sha Qi)”-

• Sheng Qi - Inherent in it are qualities and conditions of well-being, and prosperity. These in turn can bring forth feelings of contentment, happiness, and optimism. 
• Si Qi—(“Dead Qi”) is the stagnant, thick, depressing, depleting lack of energy in cluttered, dirty and dark spaces. It is found not only in buildings, but also outdoors in such things as piles of garbage, or untended junk yards, In order to reduce this negative energy, there are two ways, one is to keep that place as clean as possible. 
• Sha Qi—the word Sha means “evil”—as in misery, destruction, and ruin. Sha Qi moves rapidly along straight long lines and in pointed and angular forms. When they travel below the ground they are known as “noxious rays” and when above they are known as “poison arrows”.
