Qi Is Not Invisible : It Is Experiential

Qi is often described as invisible life force, yet we experience it constantly:

You feel uplifted in a sunlit room
You feel heavy in cluttered or stagnant spaces
You relax near water, firelight, or nature

These reactions are not psychological alone—they are energetic responses.

In Feng Shui, Qi moves through space the way breath moves through the body. When it flows smoothly, we feel supported. When it is blocked or excessive, we feel unsettled, tired, or restless.

Your home is not passive. It is in conversation with you at all times.

Colour Is Not Decoration : It Is Frequency

Colour is often treated as a design choice, but in Feng Shui it is understood as vibrational information.

Each colour carries:

A temperature (warm or cool)
A direction of movement (expanding, grounding, lifting)
An emotional tone
A Five Element correspondence

For example:

Red activates, stimulates, and accelerates Qi
Blue calms, cools, and deepens awareness
Green restores, renews, and supports growth
White clarifies, refines, and brings spaciousness
Earth tones stabilize and ground scattered energy

Because Qi is alive, colour is not neutral. It interacts with your nervous system, your emotions, and even your sense of time.

******************************************************************************************************************

Why Does Colour Feels Different during life experiences?

A colour you once loved may suddenly feel overwhelming—or a colour you never noticed may suddenly feel comforting. This is not random.

Qi changes with:

Age and life stage
Seasons and light levels
Emotional landscape
Annual Feng Shui cycles

This is why Feng Shui is never “set and forget.” A home that once energized you may now ask for softness. A quiet space may now want gentle activation.

Colour responds to Qi, and Qi responds to YOU!.

Feng Shui as a Living Practice

True Feng Shui is not rigid. It is responsive.

When we treat Feng Shui as alive:

We adjust rather than impose
We observe rather than control
We choose colours intuitively and energetically

This is especially important in later life stages and reflective seasons, when subtlety matters more than stimulation.

A single cushion colour, wall tone, or lighting shift can completely change how Qi moves through a space—and how you feel within it.

******************************************************************************************************************

Colour, Qi, and Emotional Wellbeing

Because colour interacts directly with Qi, it also interacts with memory and emotion.

Certain colours:

Hold nostalgia
Trigger comfort or alertness
Invite rest or engagement

This is why Feng Shui practitioners always ask:How does this colour feel to you?

There is no universal “right” colour,only right alignment. That is the prime purpose of Feng Shui **** setting the energy of your environment to your personal (aura) energy****.
