Definition: Good feng shui energy, or Sheng Chi is the bright, refreshing, uplifting feng shui energy that is beneficial to your health and well-being. "Sheng" translated from Chinese means upward moving energy.

Good feng shui energy, or Sheng Chi, takes many forms as:
  • the energy you experience when you walk by the beach and your body feels uplifted by good feng shui energy (a high amount of negative ions beneficial to your health);


  • the energy you experience in a lush forest (Japanese have the expression of "wood bathing"), as well as anywhere where nature is thriving;


  • in a harmonious interior environment with a good flow of Chi, or feng shui energy, high quality air and natural light.
The beneficial feng shui energy, or Sheng Chi, is the only quality of energy you want to surround yourself in your home or office. The opposite of Sheng Chi, or good feng shui energy, are the low feng shui energies - called Sha Chi and Si Chi - be sure these low energies are not present in your home.
