\"Magic<\/a>Chi is the life force energy that flows through all things; it is the essence of life itself. When this energy is strong, it makes you feel whole and present, completely alive.\u00a0 Think of a time when you felt your creative juices flowing and got lost in the process of creating or making something.\u00a0 This is why many of us are drawn to various art and hobbies.\u00a0 Creative expression naturally stimulates the flow of chi mentally and emotionally.<\/p>\n

Chi is a concept that is found throughout various cultures and goes by different names. In India, it is referred to as \u201cPrana\u201d and \u201cKi\u201d in Japanese.\u00a0 In Christianity many speak of the holy spirit moving through them.\u00a0 It’s all the experience of the universal life force energy that moves through and surrounds every living being.\u00a0 This energy can also be guided and used to promote healing and higher awareness.<\/p>\n

Chi has both masculine and feminine traits. When properly balanced, you get yin\/yang two separate, but equally important parts of the whole.\u00a0 Yin is creative, intuitive and expressive. Yang is thoughtful, analytical and methodical. When you balance these energies, it improves health on all levels: body, mind and spirit. When these areas become imbalanced or do not flow properly, various problems can develop in the mind and body.<\/p>\n

There are several ways anyone can attract and balance this life force energy.\u00a0 In your living space and office, employ some basic Feng Shui techniques to help facilitate and direct the proper flow of Chi. This can be done easily by clearing away clutter, improving the placement of objects in the room and bringing in elements from nature that nourish and cleanse your space. A functional space with good energy goes a long way towards developing inner harmony.<\/p>\n

Meditation or taking time daily for silent reflection can also improve and balance your Chi.\u00a0 Studies have shown that meditation relieves stress, promotes clarity of thought, reduces blood pressure and even enhances creativity.\u00a0 The reason this is so is because it is harmonizing and balancing your energy.\u00a0 You can consciously focus on this process by paying attention to the energies around you during meditation. With practice, you will be able to feel the flow of energy around you and can gently guide it to flow more freely and to \u201cspeed up\u201d or \u201cslow down\u201d where necessary.<\/p>\n

Energy healers use this process all the time in practices like Reiki for example.\u00a0 In Reiki, the hands are placed in various positions above the physical body and energy is manipulated to flow properly, reducing anxiety and promoting improved health in the recipient.<\/p>\n

Physically, engage in activities that promote balance and enhance chi.\u00a0 Plant and work in a garden to connect with nature.\u00a0 Do yoga poses to relax the body and become more mindful.\u00a0 Full and present awareness is key to balancing chi in the body.\u00a0 Many martial arts also focus on the principles of directing Chi.<\/p>\n

If you struggle with chronic pain or illness; consider acupuncture or acupressure which are ancient forms of healing that work directly with Chi by accessing various meridian points throughout the body.\u00a0 As these points are stimulated, they redirect the flow of chi and promote healing.<\/p>\n

\"Chi\"<\/a>Place objects in your space that help facilitate the flow of energy.\u00a0 Water features are a great choice. The movement helps guide energies and the delicate sounds promote relaxation and bring comfort, which also benefit the flow of chi throughout the body.\u00a0 Stress can trap energies in the body, leading to illness, anxiety and other issues.\u00a0 Release stress and you’ll naturally promote better flow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
