Sha qi protection is essential for maintaining positive energy. This guide covers identification and practical defensive techniques.

Why sha qi protection matters

Sha qi describes harsh or uncomfortable environmental pressure such as sharp corners, straight roads, glare, noise, clutter, or oppressive forms.

What to check first

Identify the actual source first: visual pressure, traffic, reflective light, dampness, poor air, or safety risk. Different causes need different solutions.

Practical adjustments
