Chi Energy needs your body to be relaxed to flow freely through it.
Tension stops the flow.
Some tensions result from hard physical work, some are from continuous stress.
When we are worried and stressed, we send frequencies of fear and insecurity through our body. The natural reaction of the body is to protect itself. How? By tensing the muscles that are related to self protection, for example, the back and shoulder muscles.
The first thing to do in order to restore the energy flow, is to release those tensions. You will find very effective relaxation techniques here. These techniques are what you start with and need to practice for a while.
But, the real work is in everyday life, you’ll be more aware of the fact that you tense muscles that you don’t really need right now, you’ll watch yourself doing it, and each time you will catch yourself tensing an unnecessary muscle, you will relax it. This way you will slowly, slowly build yourself new habits.
Then, one day, you will suddenly feel that you are relaxed, much more than a year or two or three ago, not totally yet, but the energy flows much better already through your body. And probably it will make you feel happy!
Once you are aware of this and do the everyday work of releasing tensions as much as you can, you can start using your chi power center.
Tantien, center of chi energy
This center, called Tantien, hara or the alchemy chaldron, is the geometric and gravity center of your body and also your chi pump.
The Hara pumps life energy in and sends out clean, fresh chi energy to all parts of the body.
Your power center is kind of an energetic heart; it has the same function for the energy as your heart has for the blood circulation.
Once you feel the Hara and know how to relax your body you are ready for the right posture. Which is a key element to enhance the flow of chi in your body.
When you start integrating the three elements -relaxation, hara and the right posture- you are ready to feel energy. Everyone can feel energy. Our hands are highly sensitive antennas. You only need to wake them up and they will tell you about chi.
And when you are fully attentive, centered and relaxed, sitting in the right posture, your breath slows down, and becomes deeper by itself with no effort.
Breathing is a key word for well being, and with time i will describe several breathing techniques on the site here.
Find your Chi Energy practice
The tools mentioned above (which I intend to develop further) are basics for many different practices and disciplines, you can use them doing meditation, tai-chi, dance or sport. You have to find what your discipline is, the one you will practice with passion and enthusiasm, the one that best suits the needs of your body and soul.
So where were we? Relax, connect to your center, keep the right posture, feel, breathe…so many things to do?! I’m already tired when I think about it! That brings us to our daily practice.
Relax! Take your time. After all, it took us many years to build our bad habits, it will take us some time to be perfect beings again, and the journey is more important than the target.
Build yourself a solid practice that won’t fade away after two weeks. The best way to lose energy, is to take decisions you can’t stand behind. Stand behind your decisions, your level of energy will rise.
So, how do I start? Small, start small! This is the secret of small decisions! Start with five minutes a day for two weeks, or one month, then add five more minutes for a couple of weeks, and so on until…after a few months you will practice daily for maybe half an hour, and you will enjoy every minute!
You can keep your half hour for years until you will have more time. The length of your daily practice doesn’t really matter. The most important is that you stand behind your decisions, and raise your level of energy by doing that.
Here is a good website with a lot of information about work with chi.
Dance, walk, move…get happy!
This might sound heavy and too hard for you, learn and practice for so long before seeing results, maybe you need something that works immediately, something that enhances your chi flow and brings joy into your life.
Move, Walk, laugh, Dance! Dance everyday, party at home every morning and bring joy into your body and soul!

cool
I can actually call upon it and bring it forth when I want to feel it and it is the most amazing feeling. It is tingles and chills and almost feels like a delightful electric shock wave through your body. It is actually always there and flowing but you don't feel it or think about it or use it. But for me, I like to experience it late at night as I am falling asleep and just summon waves and waves of goodness as I drift off to sleep. I never knew what it was or ever talked to anyone about it and then one day, in a clinic a doctor was actually giving complimentary Accupuncture treatment. I was not really sick and was there for a vitamin shot but the clinic was mainly atended by Cancer patients and this was an additional service they provided for them. I explained to the doctor that I was not a cancer patient and he said he would still give me a treatment if I wanted to try it. I agreed and he stuck the needles in various pressure points in my body and that wonderful tingly sensation that I can summon up when I concentrate on it started to tingle through me. Afterwards I talked to my doctor about it and he said it was my chi that was giving me those sensations (been having them all my life and never know what they were) and he said some people have more natural interaction with it than others.Accupuncture actually has alot to do with allowing that flow of energy to continue to work its way through all the stress points in your body that can interrupt or impede that flow of energy. It is really interesting and I highly recommend any relaxation technique that will help someone to realize the wonderful antidote to stress that your body harbors deep within. The human body is a marvelous thing!
oh yes it is! <3
