The practice of controlling the movement of Chi dates back to the time of the emperors. When Chi moves too rapidly, it can result in natural disasters, such as steep slopes that may trigger avalanches during winter or rivers overflowing their banks in spring.

Understanding Chi and Its Entry Points
In Feng Shui, energy referred to as “Chi” enters buildings in several ways. It can seep through cracks or vents, rush in via large windows, or be created within a space by sources such as electric lights, a fireplace, or even heated arguments. The quality of the surrounding environment greatly affects our well-being and state of mind. Some places may leave us feeling uneasy and eager to leave, while others provide a sense of tranquillity, prompting us to linger longer than anticipated. The flow of energy in our living and working environments can be improved by arranging the five elements in their proper places.

Methods for Recharging and Enhancing Energy
To sustain positive energy and enhance luck in a house, it is recommended to recharge or reenergise the space. This can be accomplished by moving furniture, repainting and refurnishing, or replacing the main door. If these options are not feasible, clearing out stagnant energy by cleaning and rearranging furniture also helps.

Annual Cleansing and Its Benefits
Recharging your space to activate energy and eliminate stagnation is an essential part of the oriental tradition, commonly known as “spring cleaning” or “annual cleaning.” This process not only removes clutter but also allows for Feng Shui analysis to identify directions that may harbour negative energies for the year, enabling preventative measures. Annual cleansing helps counteract afflictions accumulated over the year and mitigates Chinese zodiac influences based on individual birth dates. Simple changes can bring in positive energy and empower specific aspirations, such as improving career luck by placing a painting of fish or blue furniture in the North sector of the living room.

General Guidelines for Recharging Your Space
· Keep the foyer and the area just inside your main door well-lit, clean, and free of furniture or obstacles in direct alignment with the door.
· Place fresh flowers in a large urn of water near the main entrance.
· Add yellow floral decorations in the living room to create a fresh atmosphere.
· Position healthy green plants in the East and Southeast sectors of the living room to improve wealth luck.
· Replace wall drapes and curtains, realign furniture, and ensure that the undersides of beds and furniture are clean.
