Qi
Life Flow
Qi is the movement of vitality through a place. Doors invite it, clutter blocks it, sharp lines speed it up, and curves soften it.

What Feng Shui Studies
Feng Shui means wind and water. Classical practice looks at how qi gathers, disperses, and circulates through landforms, entrances, pathways, rooms, objects, and timing cycles. A good arrangement feels calm because movement, weight, light, and use are in proportion.
Yin-Yang
Balance
Yin is rest, shade, quiet, and inwardness. Yang is brightness, movement, sound, and activity. Rooms need the right proportion for their purpose.
Bagua
Life Map
The bagua maps areas of life such as wealth, family, relationships, career, and helpful people onto a home or room.
Command
Position
Beds, desks, and stoves are strongest when the user can see the entrance without standing directly in line with the door.
Five elements
Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water
Feng Shui's five elements are a cycle of qualities, shapes, colours, seasons, and movement patterns. The goal is not to add every element everywhere, but to support the function of each zone.
Woodgrowth, green, vertical forms
Firevisibility, red, triangular forms
Earthstability, ochre, square forms
Metalprecision, white, round forms
Waterflow, dark blue, wavy forms
Practical home guide
Where to Begin
Entrance
Mouth of Qi
Keep the front door visible, clean, well-lit, and easy to open. The entrance sets the first movement pattern of the whole home.
Bedroom
Rest & Safety
Place the bed in command position, avoid heavy storage over the head, and keep mirrors from reflecting the sleeping body.
Kitchen
Nourishment
The stove represents nourishment and resources. Keep burners clean, use them regularly, and avoid direct water-fire conflict.
Desk
Agency
A desk facing into the room with wall support behind it creates steadier attention than sitting with your back to the door.
