The whole basis of Feng Shui is to channelise the energy movement—chi in and around your place of dwelling to ensure harmonious living.

However, we do not think much of the inner chi, which needs to be maintained to ensure happiness. When the chi of your eyes is bright, your vision is clear; when the chi of your ears is robust, your hearing is sharp; when the chi of your mouth is strong, your speech is enticing and when the chi of your mind is dazzling, it penetrates all directions, thus taking the individual to great heights.

The flow of chi should meander like rays of light into the body, thus activating the chakras in a positive cycle. When the chi stagnates within the body, it is like a room deprived of fresh air and it creates depression and disease.

Thus, spiritual chi is precious and one needs to constantly replenish and empower it.

Some ways to enhance the inner chi...

1. Enjoy the beauty of the world around you by opening your eyes and mind.

2. Expose yourself to different sights and sounds.

3. Avoid spiritually unhealthy environments and people who generate negative chi.

4. You might have experienced fatigue when you go to crowded places like shopping malls and places of high activity. This could be due to varied fields of energy levels, which depletes your inner energy. One way to avoid such feelings is by sealing the chakras. Stretching exercises are good to get rid of fatigue. Stretch yourself like a cat and feel all the muscles expand and then relax.

5. While lying down, concentrate on the seven chakras and imagine a flow of white light into them. This will send fresh vital energy to protect your aura.

6. Specifically focus on the chakra on top of your head and visualise a white sun disk above your head. Next, focus on the base chakra and repeat the visualisation.

7. Now, you imagine that the two ends are sealed and next visualise a force field around your body and think that ‘nothing negative will be able to penetrate the force field around my body created by me’. Stay still for a few minutes and slowly open the eyes.

8. To cleanse your aura, you could place a small glass of water mixed with rock salt next to you. This will not only help you sleep well, but will cleanse the aura of all negative vibrations picked up during the day. Throw out the water the following day and avoid touching the water as it will imbibe negative vibes.

9. You can also place 200 gm of rock salt in a bowl, dip both your hands into it and start rubbing them till you feel the tingling of salt crystals. Then place both your hands above your head, palm facing downwards a few inches above your head. Move the palms down the body moving from top of the head to feet.

10. While doing this, feel the negative vibrations leaving your aura. Repeat three times to both the left and right side of your body and again thrice from front and back. Shake off your hands and wash it in rock salt water and soap. Try out the cleansing method weekly and you will realise that it has enhanced your inner Feng Shui.
