Qi is regarded as a natural phenomenon of the environment. You can't see it or touch it. It doesn't make any sound or emit a scent. But it's there alright, all around us.
Qi can affect your life in many ways. From the matters of wealth to health, career to relationships, if you are not aware of the power of Qi, especially negative Qi, you and your family members living under the same roof can be adversely affected.
Since ancient times, Feng Shui practitioners have learnt to assess outcomes based on the influence of Qi upon a particular living environment. You, too, can harness these naturally-occurring cosmic energies to bring positive results to your endeavors. All you need to do is learn the techniques and applications to tap positive or auspicious Qi of your living space or environment, principally, your home. At the same time, you will also learn how to avoid negative or inauspicious Qi and the remedies to avert its effects.
The principle of assessing Feng Shui is based on the location of three crucial elements:
- the main door
- the bedroom (specifically, the direction where your head points when sleeping)
- the kitchen (the position your stove faces).
Such an assessment forms the basis of Feng Shui study. Once you understand the principle, and the basic methods, you are on your way to applying simple Feng Shui solutions to your home.
For example, if you have a ceiling beam over your bed, you can already identify what this means in Feng Shui terms. Beams create suppressive Qi, and that's a no-no because this causes disruptive sleep, poor job performance and a lot of problems and troubles for the person sleeping under it. The solution? Move your bed elsewhere in the room. Simple as that.
Easy, right? Feng Shui can be made easy for anyone to master. No need to knock down a wall or buy an expensive so-called Feng Shui trinket for it. More information on bad or negative Qi will be explained in the next article with the topic, Understanding Negative Energy (Sha Qi) in Feng Shui.
