Ch'i
Perhaps you
have heard the word ch'i described in Feng Shui and traditional Chinese
medicine and wondered exactly what it was. One of the first things I
notice during a consultation with clients is the quality of ch'i in their
surroundings. Also known as qi, ki and prana, ch'i (pronounced chee) is considered to be
the breath that flows through and around every living thing. It is
the air that conducts and transports vital energy, touching and animating
everything in its path. Although it is invisible, ch'i is
thought to be the very essence of life.
In traditional Chinese medicine, ch'i enlivens
the physical body through meridians or channels, and its quality affects our
health, emotions and well being. In Feng Shui, currents of ch'i flow through
our surroundings, connecting us to our indoor and outdoor spaces in profound
ways. In both instances, free-flowing ch'i contributes to ease of
movement and passage, while stagnation slows us down. read more |
