The combined energies of Yin and Yang gave birth to the dragon whose breath is called 'Chi' (pronounced "Chee").
Chi is the heartbeat of the universe, the body of the cosmos, the ebb and flow of life's seasons. It is the vital essence of an electric storm, the voice of thunder, the song of the valley. Chi is seen dancing on ocean waves, in swirling clouds & circling birds. It is felt in soft rain when it touches our skin. Chi threads its path through our emotions, our fortunes, and our love life.
Chi is composed of five traditional Chinese elements.
They are Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, and Wood, each with an individual Yin-Yang balance depicted in a unique combination of three parallel broken and/or unbroken lines, one above the other. Yin is a broken line__ __ while Yang is solid_____.
Each element has its individual colours, shapes, numbers, characters, and season. Each element generates another: Fire generates Earth, Earth generates Metal, Metal makes Water, Water feeds Wood, and Wood generates Fire. The components are arranged in a continuous circle, with each one preceding and nourishing the next in a consistent order.
Feng Shui practitioners utilise this order of generation to strengthen a home's or business's weak areas, promoting harmony, health, and abundance.
Traditional elements are also employed to negate or balance the excess of dominant energies.
"There is nothing constant in the universe. All ebb and flow, and every shape that’s born, bears in its womb the seeds of change". -Ovid, Roman Poet, born 20th March 43 BCE, died 17/18 AD, author of the epic work titled "Metamorphoses".
