Chi and the cosmic breath plays a major role in feng shui. Good feng shui is a result of a good flow of positive chi. Everything around us emits Chi, whether it is a piece of furniture, buildings, colors, lighting or people. For good feng shui, we try to align ourselves with the flow of chi to harness good luck and good fortune.
Sharp and pointed objects - such as knifes, thorns, pointed structeds emit - shar-chi (killing breath). In the practise of feng shui, it it best to avoid sharp edges and sharp pointy objects. Make sure the imporatant sectors of your house, such as the main door, the living room and your bedroom are free from objects which emit shar-chi. Passive, dark and solemn areas, such as your attic and your dusty store room emits dead-chi or stagnant energy which is bad for the house hold. Try to keep all areas of your house clean and well litted to avoid dead-chi.
There is such thing as too much - chi. A business or home located next to a road is good as the premise can benefit from the flow of chi from the road. If a premise, especially a house is located next to a big road or a huge freeway, the flow of chi on the big road can be too overwhelming for the inhabitants of the house causing illness, bad fortune and sometimes even death! The same if the house is located at a junction. The flow of chi on the road rushes into the house too quickly, adversely affecting the inhabitants.
Feng shui practitioners tries to harness auspicious energy lines, which is commonly refered to as the dragon's cosmic breath. It is inauspicious to sleep, work , eat and live in places that are in conflict with flow of the cosmic breath.
Study of Chi dates back thousands of years in China. The study of Chi has been documented since the time of Confucious (479 b.c.).
The knowlege of chi is also the foundation of chinese medicine, and also play role in many martial arts in the orient. In chinese medicine, it is believed that illness arise when the body's chi is out of balance. A balanced chi results in good health and vitality.
