The Wonderful Secret of Everlasting Chi!

By Al Case

Chi, that mysterious vapor that the ancient masters used to defeat attackers without touching them. A secret force of the body that enables people to live long and healthy lives. Heck, there is even evidence that Chi was behind the success of the Jedi Knights...grin.

There is much we don't know about Chi, lots of things that people don't understand. Yet, this thing called Chi has to follow certain prescribed functions. If it is going to show itself in this universe, then there are going to be theories that will define and describe the way chi functions.

We are swimming in a sea of Chi. Have you ever heard people speak of the glow of good health? Have you ever completed a job and stood back in satisfaction and noticed that the world is just a little more relaxed, a little brighter.

The trick is to make this feeling last all the time. Tai Chi can enhance your health immensely, and this will make you glow. And, if you can throw yourself into work and avoid distraction you will feel immense satisfaction, which ability is immensely enhanced by the practice of tai chi.

Chi is not invisible, it is merely not seen by those who haven't honed their perceptions. One can easily see chi if they hone their perceptions, and perceptions are easily honed by doing tai chi. When practicing the form, for instance, one creates a space about themselves, and this space is quite extra sensory in nature.

As one grows and cultivates this space they begin to perceive within it without using the normal senses. People feel what is happening, sense, like radar, the movements of the world about them. This is an appreciation of the universe on the level of chi perception.

Chi is made simply, by the simple act of breathing, and relaxing, so that the body can function the way it was designed to function. Do you see a tiger performing calisthenics? The reason is that he does movements that are relaxed, and which allow his body to function the way it was designed to function.

There does not have to be a lot of mystery concerning chi. Indeed, chi responds wonderfully on a mechanistic level. Chi is one of the most empirical concepts in the universe, the problem is that people don't know how to view it empirically.
