And yes, it does refer to energy , which is already known in modern science. Let me refine what types of energy that Qi refers to. To begin, let me first walk you through some historical context about how our predecessors used this term.
Imagine yourself living on Earth 2, or years ago, a time where science was not taught in formal education. During that time, people have little or no knowledge of Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Psychology, and other scientific knowledge that we have today.
But since our predecessors lived in the same world as us, they were exposed to the same kind of forces or energy we have today, whether they be gravity, heat, or sunlight. Because of the lack of scientific knowledge, they needed a term to refer to those energy that surrounds us. So Qi is mostly used to describe the forces that cannot be seen, but has the ability to impact us, either physically or mentally. Let me give you some illustrations.
Humans are able to feel most Qi by using our five senses other than sight and taste. Just to remind you, our other three senses are: touch, sound, and smell. By touch, I do not mean that you can touch Qi with your hands, like the way you feel solid objects. Some examples are wind, heat waves, humidity, static, electric currents, and other types of energy that you can feel with your skin, muscles, and nerves. For one, it tells us how to regulate the temperature of our home.
Feng shui tells us that windows facing north bring colder air in winter than windows facing the other direction. With this knowledge, we can make proper adjustments to keep us warm, such as making more use of other windows for fresh air during winter. Another example is living under high voltage electric lines. Feng shui tells us that electricity brings negative Qi that affects both our physical and mental health. Some studies have also suggested that these electric currents are causing cancer in children.
As you might have guessed, sound is also a form of Qi. Unlike our predecessors, we can now visualize sound as sound waves. Not all sounds are Qi. For instance, I have not heard of music or bird tweets being considered as Qi. However, it did mention that noise is a negative Qi that has the ability to affect our mood, patience, and temper. Imagine living in right next to the airport, train station, or a fraternity house that hosts house parties four nights a week.
How would you feel? If noise can worsen your mood, patience, and temper, you are likely to get into more fights and arguments with your friends, family, or significant other. A prolonged effect can even bring psychiatric disorders which will lead to serious damage to those personal relationships. If you work from home, the noise will make it harder for you to concentrate, resulting in a decreased work productivity, performance, and ability to meet deadlines.
That is why feng shui suggests that we avoid neighborhoods that are noisy, because the negative Qi in the form of noise bring negative consequences to our lives. Today, we understand smell as odor molecules. We detect smell by inhaling odor molecules that bind to the receptors in our nose , which our brain later interprets what kind of smell it was. Feng shui identifies the odor from the restroom and trash as a negative form of Qi because they have the ability to adversely affect our health.
Sometimes negative qi is stuck energy. It is energy that is stagnant and not moving. If you feel stuck, try moving the qi around the home by literally moving 27 objects. It can be as simple as rotating a vase a few degrees, or something more dramatic like rearranging your furniture. Negative energy may be invited into your home with second-hand or emotionally charged objects, like an antique that is still holding the energy from a previous owner.
Think about that gift from a relative that makes you cringe or any paperwork you've held on to from a painful legal process. The best option is to let go of these items that feel negative to you. You can also move them out of the house. Plants are a go-to for negative energy because they bring healing and growth into your home. Be sure that your plants are well taken care of and they do not fall ill. One of the best plants for negative energy is the snake plant.
The color black can absorb and transmute any harmful energies, so black tourmaline is a protective crystal that can be placed in your home. One way to use this stone is to create a grid of protection by placing one piece in the four corners of your home. In the center of a grid, you can place clear quartz to amplify the protection.

Red attracts energy, fortune, and luck. In feng shui, a cluttered house equals a cluttered mind. Even worse, clutter literally sucks up the energy in a space. If there's clutter somewhere in your home — even tucked away in an attic — then it's also cluttering your head, as well as the rest of your body.
Make sure you have something representing the five elements — wood, earth, metal, fire, and water — in every room. The goal is to stay grounded, centered, and balanced in your life and your environment. For example, place a wooden bowl filled with stone pebbles alongside a candle and a vase of flowers. Nature creates a sense of peace.
In fact, research shows that viewing nature reduces anger and anxiety and enhances feelings of pleasure. So flood your home with natural light, open windows and doors to let fresh air inside, and bring plants indoors. Decorate with bamboo, wood, or wicker, and use stones and rocks to add texture. You can also adorn the walls with paintings of nature and its serenity. Mirrors reflect energy, so position them in places where you want to increase energy flow.
Also, make sure that mirrors reflect something beautiful. Finally, think twice before adding mirrors to your bedroom decor. They can energize the room, which, though it may be great for hot sex, is not so great for getting enough sleep. You can't benefit from the positive energies or opportunities that flow through your front door if they zip right out the back door.
