When you study Feng Shui design to apply it to your home, you’ll notice the word “chi” on a regular basis. Universal energy is represented by the word Chi. Basically this means the Chinese of long ago thought that everything – the buildings, trees, and land – has energy of its own.

You will also discover that Feng Shui Chi has two sides, like yin and yang, meaning that both bad and good Chi exist. You’ll also find that Chi is found in different shapes based on nature’s elements – metal, earth, wood, water, and fire. To go on further, Chi can be broken down more than just to the five elements of nature to the corresponding Feng Shui colors that embody them.

Feng Shui House has various goals but the main one involves guiding or channeling the Chi in areas where you spend time. Good chi is important in your work and living space because it keeps the energy flow positive and feeds your spirit too. The positive Chi that enlivens your environment is known as Sheng Chi. There is negative where there is positive as well. Si Chi is the name for negative energy and Sha Chi, meaning low, attacking, sharp, and depressing.

Sheng Chi in detail

Sheng is a word that means energy movement that is rising. So Sheng Chi is energy that is both uplifting and vibrant. This positive life force is important and advantageous to your well being and overall health.

Sheng Chi comes in various forms, most come from nature or an indoor environment that is clean. If you remember, Chi refers to the energy in all things. Well, there is nothing more powerful energy-wise than thriving nature, such as the beach or a grove of trees.

Si Chi and Sha Chi = Bad Chi

When you have bad, you’ll have good too. Si Chi is a depressing, festering type of energy. It can make you feel like you’re dying, feeling stifled and foggy. If you spent much time in this environment, you would start dealing with sickness.

Sha Chi refers more to the architectural elements or decorative elements in or outside the home that exudes violent nature. Outside structures that have corners or sharp points that seem to point to your home or work space are considered to be Sha Chi.

The whole purpose of understanding the good and bad Chi is so you are able to use them in Feng Shui House to combat the negative, destructive energy and turn the bad energy into positive energy that is cleansing and well balanced.
