Inner Power: The Discovery of Chi

Chi can be described as the energy that flows through living beings. In Eastern culture, mostly Asian culture but does have influence from the Middle East, this energy can be tapped into and be used for a multitude of purposes. It is power, it makes you feel stronger, faster, and more attuned with your body. It is energy, it is rejuvenating, it heals and dampens pain and wounds. It is peace, it brings clarity of mind, focus, and a feeling of serenity that can only be understood through experience. I personally have found I can use my chi when performing martial arts. It is different for everyone. I practice a combative art, but we never use contact. We practice kata, throws, punches, kicks, grabs, and all of that, with the sole focus on form, control, and balance. This training teaches you to put all your concentration into the art, but when used in application, reflexes take over without the thought ever crossing your mind. This intense focus brings out my chi, makes every move crisper, cleaner, more precise. I end a three hour session feeling like I just got out of a cold shower; fresh, awake, alert, and conscious of all my surroundings. I highly recommend tai chi, tanzanbukan karate, and goju ryu as places of practice. I personally believe that if more people felt their chi, they would be much happier and much healthier. I also believe they would possess and clearer understanding of themselves. Like a 'third-eye awakening' sort of thing. A glimpse into the inner self that promotes healing and the discovery of one's true power.

I’ve heard of the Chi life source. Your explanation of it felt liberating. I have certain health issue. However, I will google it and see if I can apply any of its concepts to my life. I am a firm believer of Western and Eastern healing practices. Happy 😃 it works 4 U. Hugs 🤗 Shnookie 🙏💪🤓🔮
