Getting To Know Chi

Feng shui is about working with the energies and energy flow in homes and offices to create balance.  Another word for this energy is chi.  Energy is chi.   And chi is the universal life force that runs through our bodies, our homes, and everything in the world.  At first, the concept of chi might seem foreign to you.  But once you get to know chi and work with it a little, it will seem like the most natural thing in the world to you.  Because it is. 

When I teach a feng shui class, I introduce my students to chi by showing them how to work with the chi of their bodies.  Since everything is chi, so are our thoughts.  Our thoughts are a form of energy that we shape with our consciousness.  What we think about and give our attention to, we send our energy to. You can physically see this happen by dangling a pendant necklace from your hand and making it move with your mind.  Simply hold the chain of the necklace with the thumb and forefinger of the hand you write with.  And hold the pendant about one inch above the palm of your other hand. Then think the way you want it to move and it will move that way. You can move it in a circle or back and forth. You can move it one way, stop it, and move it another way. The 90-second "Move It With Your Mind" video demonstration below shows you how to do it.

Chi is everywhere and in everything. Once you get to know chi, and grasp the concept of chi, it will be easier for you to start working with the chi in your home to help create more balance in your life.
