Chi and Self-Healing

We can use our chi, i.e. life force energy to assist with Self- healing. Chi is a causal factor in a wide range of bodily phenomena. For example, a deficiency of chi in the kidneys may result in a physical and psychological illness characterized by nervousness, sexual inhibition, or impotence, either an excess or deficiency of chi can cause illness. Exercise fortifies the muscles with the body's energy, enhancing our ability to consume more chi. When we are able to open the major energy channels we can increase the Chi circulation more effectively, amplifying it with energy absorbed from external sources. Meditation, a proper diet, and exercise are very important to one's life and spiritual growth. Most illnesses and pain result from blockages of chi, as too many protons condense in the wrong places. This impedes the flow of electrons through major channels of the body. By releasing such blockages and increasing the chi flow, we can often heal ourselves without resorting to medical treatments. One practice that can assist is Bellow Breathing. First create a space where you will not be disturbed. Sit in good meditation position on a chair. Once you are in good sitting position, take a few minutes to focus and prepare yourself. Become aware of your surroundings. Feel the sensation of your feet touching the floor, of your clasped hands, of the chair beneath you. Be aware of the sounds inside the room, outside the room, and within your body. Be aware of your breath, and heart beat. Feel your body naturally expand as you inhale and contract as you exhale. Breathe in and out with this awareness 36 times. And re- connect with your Self daily.
