GENERATION OF SHA CHI

When a building is faced by the corner of another building, perhaps across the road, it will be subject to sha chi. This sha chi is often referred to as "secret arrows" in which the arrow flies from the offending building, threatening the building or site in question. The effects can be varied, but may include the occupants being particularly prone to illness.

Whenever there is a bulding by a road or some other public way, the edge of that building will produce sha chi which may be directed at your house. 

The actual site uponwhich a house is built may also contribute to the sha chi. Within the ground itself, faults and similar features create sha chi. This may also include small valleys which is straight will generate sha chi. External, man-made features such as poles and wires, used for various reasons including the provision of the utilities, can also be detrimental because they carry sha chi.Wires should preferably run at a low angle to the building almost parallel to it, and poles, posts and trees should not be positioned immediately outside window.

As will be discussed later, there are many configurations inside the house that should be either be avoided or amended, to avoid or lessen the sha chi. For this reason, stairs should not descend immediately facing the outer door, and the back door of a house should not be visible when entering through the front door. In both cases good chi is allowed to flow directly out of the house before it has been able to circulate.It is also better to avoid a layout in which the house is split by a corridor at the center. This may lead to a division of the house, which is a bad thing, and the corridor may encourage the chi to move rapidly.

One of the important components of feng shui is the theory of five elements, which is considered later in this blog. Other factors to be explained are yin and yang, chi and the concept of trigrams. Practitioners of feng shui regard their surroundings as an expression of chi , and Tao with which it is inextricably linked and from which feng shui derived. 

CHI 

Chi is thought by the Chinese to be the most important aspect of feng shui. Chi encompasses everything and holds together all the different aspects and factors involved in feng shui. It is the energy and force that flows all around and within and accordingly is sometimes called the cosmic breath. Chi is basically the life force, giving life to everything whether it be the movement of the stars, the weather and the changing seasons or spiritual and physical changes within ourselves. Chi cannot be seen, heard or felt; it does not register upon any of our senses.

A house situated in a certain way will be subject to highly positive and beneficial chi ( which itself creates a healthy environment ) and, by generating a positive environment within home, can also help to produce a prosperous life. Experts in the discipline of feng shui regard our surroundings as a representation and manifestation of chi. There are three main conditions or stages of chi - sheng chi, si chi, and sha chi.
