Cycles of Chi
Feng shui incorporates enhancing, controlling and weakening cycles of chi (energy.) The cycles relate to the five elements and how they interact. There are three important cycles to incorporate into your feng shui analysis. The enhancing or producing cycle explains how one element can help another (or type of Chi) to exhibit its quality and ability. For instance, when a tree is watered, it grows. This is an example of water enhancing the cycle of wood. When a fire is fed with wood it burns. In the weakening cycle, wood helps fire to burn and in the process it weakens or diminishes itself. Consequently within the productive cycle is the seed of weakening energy for one element. The controlling or destroying cycle explains how one element can control and suppress another. It does not necessarily destroy the other element since energy or Chi cannot be destroyed. Rather, one element can dominate in a particular circumstance over another. For instance, a metal knife cuts a piece of wood to transform it. Thus the metal is controlling the shape of that piece of wood. Source: The Feng Shui Dictionary by Lillian Too.
