Details or Sample:
What is Chi? It is a word often Karma, but few know its real meaning. Many people think Chi is about attracting good fortune, just as they think Karma is about paying for past misdeeds, but both are far less than the truth.

Karma is about facing up to actions that must be taken in this life, as a result of past actions. Chi is about flow, the natural flow of wind and water – the literal translation of Feng Shui.

There is no equivalent word in English for Chi. If you think about yourself, and everything, without the visible trappings of life, the mechanism of existence, the past, the present, the future, desires, wants, needs – what is left that sustains you and all life? Now you will come close to understanding Ch.

Chi flows through all of us, and all of nature, and all of our human works as well. That Native Americans call it Spirit, although that is also not an adequate translation of a concept that is sometimes as hard to grasp as air itself. Chi needs uninterrupted flow, to be able to pass gently and freely through curving space. If it is trapped, or forced in unnatural lines, it becomes stagnant or disruptive. This is the basic principle of Feng Shui.

In the west, we almost seem to be at war with Chi. We do not permit it easy access or departure or permit it to flow naturally and gracefully through our hostile buildings and box like homes. Built to a rigid pattern, our homes reject and confuse the flow of Chi.

Chi comes in at the front door. The front door is the mouth that opens and breathes in the flow of Chi. But what happens when Chi enters most homes? In some, it stagnates in a stuffy, closed off box called a hallway, in others it bounces off hard bright shiny surfaces and mirrors and goes right back out again. What it should do is find a gently curving path to flow easily through the rooms and quietly exit to freedom again.

Dust, clutter, and too much hard bright shiny stuff distracts Chi, causing it to settle and stagnate in odd corners. On the other hand, too much empty minimalist space, too many straight lines, makes it rush through the house, leaving a sense of emptiness and loss.

If you want to understand how Chi operates, it is easy to do so. You don’t have to know about baguas, cures or where to hang wind chimes – just be the Chi. Flow into your house through the front door, move gently and easily around and see where your path takes you. You will quickly see, through the eyes of Chi, where things go wrong, where you run up against annoying obstacles, stumble over badly places objects and run out of pleasure.
