Central to the work of Feng Shui is the concept of Chi or “vital energy.” You can’t see it but you can feel it and have a direct experience of it in the spaces you spend time in.

What is Chi and why is it so important? Chi (pronounced Chee) is the consistent life force or spark plug that activates and carries you through life. Chi is your energy. Chi is your vibration. It is important to understand and monitor your own Chi so that you can adjust it, balance it and replenish it. When you regularly cultivate your Chi, you will be more able to maintain the harmony between your inner and outer selves. Life will be smoother and more joyful.

There are many reasons to cultivate your personal Chi:

To enhance physical health

To enhance mental health

To increase intellectual ability and wisdom

To increase spiritual and psychic power

To improve interpersonal relations

To improve your luck

To support a calm, patient and tolerant life

To help you get moving when you feel stuck or afraid

Every one of us has experienced times in our lives when we have unlimited energy. We feel inspired and joyful and life seems to go along effortlessly. We feel supported by friends and family – finances are good, health is good, life is good. We call this “being in the flow.” When we are “in the flow” our life is more harmonious and peaceful because we are experiencing an improved state of Chi. This improved state of Chi then automatically creates new and more enjoyable emotions, feelings, ideas and thoughts.

As your personal Chi becomes more balanced, your thoughts and decisions will improve and your emotions will be more harmonized. Synchronicities will seem to occur and wonderful opportunities will suddenly become available to you. Your increasing fortune will reinforce your feelings and a powerful cycle will be initiated. As you change your energy and then the energy of your space, you will be more open to receive the things you want and need in your life because that is what you are attracting.
