What is chi / qi / prana?
In one scientific word, it is charge and in layman’s term, it is life force or simply ambient and radiant energy.

How does feng shui work?
In short: because of epigenetics – ie our bodies and specifically our genes adapt every day to the changes in our environments, affecting our beliefs (placebo effect) and behaviours and every aspect of our lives, starting from our health.
More on how feng shui works and the placebo effect behind feng shui

How environmental factors affect us, our biology, genes, and behaviour?
Again, a short answer is epigenetics and a graph from the video shows how which confirms my feng shui formula, ie feng shui = intention + energy + ritual.

What is Chi / Qi – How Feng Shui Works and How Environmental Factors Affects Us, Our Biology, Genes, Behaviour – Dr Bruce Lipton

Feng shui ‘nudges’
Professor Richard Thaler who has won the 2017 Nobel prize in economics for his contributions to behavioural economics, confirms that environmental cues can shape people’s behaviours. He championed the concept of “nudging” people, for example, through subtle changes in government policy, to do things that are in their long-term self-interest, such as saving for a pension. Another application of his ‘nudge theory’ is positioning of healthy foods on eye level in supermarkets (therefore “nudge” people towards the purchase) which in Thaler’s opinion is a better way of influencing people to eat healthy as opposed to government health campaigns. Market research tests have shown that placing healthier foods on a higher shelf boosts sales. Nudge theory has many (feng shui) applications, even in public toilets where fake plastic houseflies were stuck on the men’s toilet urinals which was intended to “improve the aim”. A classic feng shui nudge ‘remedy’ that can alter our thinking and behaviour is to have a mirror in the kitchen or dining room with a confirmed research of 32% reduction in consumption of unhealthy food because one becomes self-conscious or self-reflective (no pan intended).

In short, nudge theory is based on a simple assumption that people will often choose what is easiest or easily accessible over what might be wisest. People don’t always make rational choices, which contradicts the classical economic theory. Thaler and Sunstein defined their concept as: “A nudge, as we will use the term, is any aspect of the choice architecture that alters people’s behavior in a predictable way without forbidding any options or significantly changing their economic incentives. To count as a mere nudge, the intervention must be easy and cheap to avoid. Nudges are not mandates. Putting fruit at eye level counts as a nudge. Banning junk food does not.”

At its simplest, and the most fundamental leve,l feng shui works like this:

FENG SHUI = INTENTION + ENERGY (relationship/connection) + RITUAL

Feng shui rituals

Percentage-wise, the importance of your intention (what you want) is 30%, your energy and connection is another 50%, and the ritual is only 20%. The ritual is the servant of your intention. Ultimately, it doesn’t matter what you do but HOW you do it. For example, if you want to improve your relationship or find a new partner, you could hang a chewing gum in the relationship corner of your bedroom, and it will work. Of course, it’s better to place something nice and beautiful and thematic, such as a heart prismatic crystal or a romantic picture. Be very clearabout what you want. You need to be specific enough and open at the same time about your goal and purpose.

INTENTION: Goals and purposes

Please note the difference between your goals and your purposes. For example, your goal might be to run a successful online business. But your purpose will be to 1) set up a website 2) optimise with SEO 3) build a brand 4) build a strong community online around your brand, etc, etc. So the goal is the final result, and the purpose is the steps you’ll take to get there. Another example: your goal is to win/finish the London Marathon, and your purpose is to run 30 minutes every morning for the next three months to prepare.

SMART criteria
Learn how to set up a SMART purpose (Specific + Measurable + Achievable + Real + Timed) and write it down (which is always the first step in manifesting your intentions, from the virtual reality of your mind to your immediate physical reality) and then do some feng shui to optimise your environment to help you with that purpose. Knowing what you want and how is half of the success.

ENERGY Your energy (chi) and your relationship and connection to the life force

“I understand that it (feng shui) works whether you believe in it or not.” Niels Bohr, Danish Nobel Prize winner in Physics

The way to hang the horseshoe is up like the letter U, so it works like a container for your luck.

RITUAL Feng shui rituals

Some feng shui rituals work better than others because they have a stronger morphic field, i.e., a lot of people believe in and use them. For example, hanging a horseshoe above the door has been practised for centuries, and it works. “I understand that it (feng shui) works whether you believe in it or not.” said Niels Bohr, Danish Nobel Prize winner in Physics, when asked why he has a horseshoe above his door. Beliefs are perceptions about how things work, and the science behind how beliefs work is called the placebo effect.

To sum up

1) Decide what you want and how.
2) Write it down as a SMART purpose.
3) Anchor the intention in your environment with a feng shui ritual that is representative in some way of your intention. Read some feng shui tips for ideas.
4) Do some first steps in order to manifest it (using your SMART purpose) and follow through until you realise your goal. Never give up. Determination, persistence and patience will get you there.
