Feng Shui Meaning and Philosophy – Chi, Yin and Yang and How Feng Shui Solves Our Problems

Feng Shui offers a unique perspective when it comes to human life and interaction with our world that is still unknown to many. It remains a mystery! The English meaning of the word “feng” is wind, and the Chinese translation for the word “shui” is water.

Two Primary Elements in Feng Shui

Wind (also breath) and water are two of the basic primary elements of life that are necessary for life to exist. In Feng Shui, wind is not considered one of the Five primary elements, although water is.

When thinking of Feng Shui, one must think in holistic terms of an unquantifiable and intangible presence - a vital energy and force that exists in all living things, including things that are considered “inanimate” or considered as not containing living energy or spirit.  

One cannot think of Feng Shui without contemplating the meaning of universal energy that western scientists have yet to quantify, measure or explain.

The Chinese Word “Chi”

What is our life force or essential energy? The Chinese refer to this as “chi”…sometimes spelled “qi, “ch’i” or “ki”.” Chi can be thought of as the essential energy of all matter…within all substances seen and unseen, conscious and unconscious, ethereal and concrete.

Chi is always in motion – it is everywhere…even within such “beings” as rocks or mountains! 

One could think of Chi itself as being comprised of both yin and yang energy. The “yin” of chi embodies the intangible energetic realm (not able to be perceived by the five senses), and the “yang” of chi is the energy we see in motion within our tangible world.

In Chinese teaching, yin and yang is female and male, hidden and seen, dark and light…

the perfect opposites that make up the whole of all things in existence. All things have yin energy – all things contain yang energy…everything is made up of Chi.

Chi is Naturally Flowing…

Chi naturally flows through our bodies, our dwelling places and throughout the universe at large. It has no boundaries and its pathways are mysterious!

The art of Feng Shui has to do with facilitating and enhancing the passage (or flow) of chi throughout our physical homes and environments and as a result - the energy flow within our physical bodies!

The exercises of qigong are noted for stimulating the flow of healthy chi in the body. In the “Feng Shui Pearls of Wisdom” ebook you will be introduced to a little known modern healing method that has the power to clear disease causing blockages within your body.

It opens and clears pathways, similar to acupuncture (but without the needles!). It has its roots in acupuncture, yoga, and kinesiology.

This new method strengthens the mind/body connection and leads to better overall health and balance. It is inner Feng Shui at its finest!

When our bodies are out of balance or our surrounding environment contains imbalances, blockages form and cause problems which disrupt the natural flow of chi.

Unfortunately, these blocks can cause us pain and problems in the following areas:

	Poor Health
	Lack of Success
	Inability to Grow Wealth
	Career Stagnation
	Family Turmoil
	Relationship Problems
	Inability to Conceive
	Travel Difficulties…to name a few.

 Feng Shui Raises Inner and Outer Awareness

The good news is we can solve these problems with Feng Shui! Feng Shui philosophy has stood the test of time – in a nutshell, it works! Applying the principles of Feng Shui to your body and personal spaces opens energy channels and opportunities flow toward you in amazing abundance.

The key is to trust the process. Know that the actions you take will yield the desired results…don’t just believe it…really know it!

The study of Feng Shui raises one’s awareness of energy flows and the nature of chi. Feng Shui also reveals the blockages that impede progress in life and cause unhappiness. The practice of Feng Shui clears the clutter blocking the energetic pathways within our living spaces and allows the chi to flow freely along its natural courses within our environment.

The practice of Feng Shui empowers you, in its purest form, to clear your internal and external (surrounding environment) blockages, bringing all things within yourself and your outer world into harmonious balance.

This is when the “magic” starts to happen and opportunities and solutions begin to present themselves in greater abundance. The flow is no longer restricted and things start moving again!

On your journey, you’ll discover impediments in your surroundings that you never knew existed – but luckily you can easily take action and make the necessary adjustments and improvements.

This is the true meaning and power of Feng Shui – a practical science and art offering timeless pearls of wisdom that have the power to unlock your deeper mysteries, heal…enhance and align your surroundings to support your heart’s desires and give your life an excellent quality and flavor!
