Since ancient times people have felt an indefinable quality in their environment. This invisible energetic power was given different names by many cultures. The sun, the moon, weather patterns, seasons, animal and plant life were observed through out the centuries, recorded by scholars, thus giving mankind a “textbook” of sorts for human survival. Different cultures and races divided these tried and true rules into categories called Aspects and placed them in circular or octagon shaped form similar to a mathematical formula within a wheel. There were 8 equal pie shaped sections and a center to this equation. Though religion was not connected to this science of Wind and Water, it soon became interwoven with spirit and the unknown.

Everything, it seems, inhabited this mysterious indefinable quality that was infused in nature. Religions gave this breath, air, energy, spirit and soul a name. “It” was known by prana to the Hindus, spiritus to Catholics, pneuma to Greeks, ruah to the Hebrews, and Chi to the Chinese. No matter what this quality is called, it has been determined when it is blocked in your home, nature or the heavens, all 9 Aspects wither and die.

There are many ways Chi can be restored and changed. There are 9 basic cures, such a using bright lights; installing objects that make sound; add living objects to interior and exterior spaces; include moving objects; stabilize places and situations with heavy objects; stimulate with electrically powered objects, such as sound systems in the Wealth area; bamboo flutes and color through décor, murals and artworks; and then there is always the 9th cure called others which are special and only given to you by a qualified Feng Shui Practitioner.

Artwork can be uplifting or depressing. Choosing the correct image is extremely important for your home or business to keep the energy or Chi flowing correctly.
