Feng Shui -- Chi

What are the effects of disharmonized chi? Here are three prominent examples.
• Negative chi, caused by excessive light and artificial energy
(such as air conditioning), can cause mental and physical exhaustion.
• Strong chi (like that produced by dampness and drafts)
can result in two polarized attitudes, depending on the
person: either excessive emotion and overexcitement, or
depression and lack of direction.
• Fast-flowing chi (which you can feel on very windy days)
can make one over talkative and paranoid, fearful of personal
attack
Just as placement and position have everything to do with
achieving the best flow of chi in our physical environments,
so too does our physical countenance. How we dress and
wear makeup, and even the food we eat, have a direct result
or our chi.
And, why, precisely, is our chi so important? In Chinese medicine it is the unencumbered flow of chi that is seen as a prerequisite to good health. Unlike Western medicine, which treats individual health symptoms, Eastern medicine treats the body as a whole Thus, doing whatever necessary to unblock our chi is of prime concern to our physical and psychological health.
