Basic Feng Shui Terminology

Feng Shui = Feng ("Wind") + Shui ("Water"). Literally translated as "Wind & Water," this is the Chinese art of Placement, of balancing and enhancing the energy in our environment. By attuning to the natural flow of energy in our environment we can tap into universal abundance and watch our lives flow with ease.

Qi - One of the most important considerations of Feng Shui is Qi.

(pronounced "Chee" and often written in the old style as Chi ).

- Qi, or Chi, means "breath" or "vital air." Qi is the energy that sustains all life on the planet. In traditional Feng Shui, experts prospect for veins of good or nourishing Qi and then channel it to enrich the lives of the residents. In humans, Qi is the spirit or vital "breath" that animates the body and keeps it going. The ideal is to have Qi flow balanced throughout the home.

This is the most important principle that Feng Shui experts seek to alter - they channel and enhance environmental Qi flow to improve human Qi and thus increase happiness, prosperity, and vitality.

Ba Gua - Ba Gua, meaning "Eight Parts," is derived from the Black Hat school of Feng Shui. It is sometimes spelled "Pa Kua" or "Bagua." The Ba Gua is an energy template used in Feng Shui to designate which (eight) areas of a space relate to specific life situations. This image or map is superimposed on a home, a plot of land, an office, or a room to diagnose environmental ills affecting residents.

Life Areas - The eight, individual sections of the Ba Gua that deal with situations in our lives. All of these situations are connected to the flow of energy or Qi in our bodies and in our environment. The Life Areas are derived from the eight trigrams of the I Ching, to which are ascribed characteristics relating to nature, man, family, and all manner of relationships.

Black Hat Feng Shui - A Tibetan tantric sect that incorporates Chinese Feng Shui practices. The Black Hat sect utilizes the eight-triagram Ba Gua.

In classical times, Chinese court astrologers and geomancers wore a conical, truncated, black hat as a sign of their office.

Feng Shui Cures – also known as Remedies – These are changes made to the environment in order to enhance or optimize the flow of Qi. Such changes can be as simple as hanging a mirror, introducing a color, or installing a fountain.
