Awaken Dormant Energy
Do you ever feel stressed, anxious, or fatigued for no apparent reason? Well, it might be because your chi is imbalanced. You may have come across the term before but for those of you who haven’t, chi is a spiritual energy that helps us to become physically stronger, mentally focused, energized and revitalized
Chi travels and circulates through the channels of our bodies, similar to the way water flows in a riverbed.
1. Declutter
According to the International Feng Shui Guild, clutter represents heavy, stagnant chi energy, which will hold us back from fulfilling our life’s purpose. Addressing the home’s surroundings can be the first step for other positive, energetic moves in money, career, and relationships. Take control of clutter, and if you can’t, invest in some help from a professional, such as a personal organizer, a cleaning service, a feng shui expert, or a therapist.
2. Belly Breathing
Shallow breathing won’t give you as much energizing oxygen into the blood. Explore deep breathing by lying on the floor or on a bed and putting the palm of your hand on your belly. As you inhale, note how the hand and belly both rise. Focusing on the out-breath, totally empty the lungs before breathing back in again.
3. Tai chi
Originally developed as a form of martial arts, tai chi has now evolved as a series of exercises combined with deep breathing techniques. Easily identified by its low impact, flowing movements, tai chi is thought to improve balance, posture, circulation, and muscle control. It can also help to strengthen your core, arms, legs, and back.
The gentle but deliberate motions that makeup tai chi help you to work on your self-discipline. This soft and slow series of exercises are great for restoring your chi and keeping blockages at bay.
4. Meditation
Practice mindfulness and balance your mind with your body through the act of meditation. Regular meditation is a really effective habit to do in your daily life as it allows you to let go of negative thoughts and relax. Letting go of these negative energies allows your body to cultivate its chi instead.
As we’ve mentioned above, the controlled breathing exercises associated with meditation help your flow of chi stay strong and constantly moving.
Meditation is a great stress reliever which can in turn help to prevent your chi from getting blocked and building up inside your body.
5.Yoga
Yoga is another breathing-controlled series of exercises that can help you to balance your chi. While both practices (Tai Chi & Yoga) have similarities, they are actually very different.
Tai chi is a series of fluid movements that are constantly evolving and merging into each other, much like the way in which chi itself moves. The action of doing tai chi requires you to be constantly moving as your body moves from one posture to another. Yoga, on the other hand, is all about stillness.
Yoga postures are held for prolonged periods of time, depending on the style that you practice, as you find your balance, inner peace, and an awareness of your body.
It is thought that as you hold each yoga pose, chi accumulates within you and creates a blockage. As you release from each posture, the blockage clears and your chi flows freely. This repeated sequence of exercises helps to prevent blockages from permanently hindering your chi.
😇POSITIVE NEWS OF THE DAY
New Jersey is the latest state to sue some of the world’s largest oil companies for their role in delaying climate policy and climate misinformation.
The state’s lawsuit includes fraud claims against five oil majors: ExxonMobil, Shell Oil, Chevron, BP, and ConocoPhillips.
The “failure to warn” approach helps to narrow the fraud claims to something a court can rule on.

BALANCE YOUR CHI WITH THIS EXERCISE
Lifting the Sky is one of the best qi gong exercises to do and is considered one of the single most important exercises in the art form. Simply put, it changes bodies and lives.
It is the first exercise in two of the most well-known qi gong practice sets: The 18 Lohan Hands, taught by the honorable Bodhidharma and the 8 Pieces of Brocade taught by the great General Yue Fe.
It is, therefore, probably the most widely practiced qi gong exercise in the world. Qi gong and tai chi should be taught by an experienced teacher as there are small nuances with the breath, movement, and alignment that will only be seen by the eye of an expert. However, Lifting the Sky is something so simple, it can be tried and experienced without much effort or help at all.
Warm-Up: In qi gong, warming up your body is very important. It helps to get centered in your body, but also prevents injury. Standing with the outer edges of your feet parallel (it will feel as though you are slightly pigeon-toed) and feet slightly wider than hip-width apart, bend your knees slightly, and gently bounce and shake to settle in your body. With your arms relaxed down by your sides, start rotating your hips and shoulders from one side to the next. Your arms will naturally gain momentum and gently hit your body. The place that the arms land are naturally on energy lines in the body and promote chi and blood flow to the area. Complete the warm-up with slow gentle circles of all the joints.
Phase 1
Bring the feet close together and parallel.
Open your mouth ever so slightly (relax your jaw).
Tip of the tongue rests lightly on the roof of the mouth (to complete microcosmic orbit).
Arms are “alive”, but relaxed down by your sides.
Posture is upright, yet relaxed with your heart center open.
Gaze is on the horizon.
Phase 2
Palms face down toward the ground.
Point your fingertips toward the center of the body (with a little space between each finger).
Arms are as straight (with ease and a micro bend to the elbow).
Head tilts down a bit (as if to look at the hands).
Shoulders should be relaxed.
Phase 3
Inhaling, raise/arc your arms up overhead.
Slowly lift your head up to look at your hands as they reach up to the sky.
Once your hands reach the top, lift slightly up on the heels.
Palms toward the sky fingertips toward each other.
Breathe gently through the nose as you arc upward.
Phase 4
Exhaling slowly through the mouth, move your arms softly and slowly down back by your sides (like you are flapping your wings).
Gracefully return your head back to its normal position.
Repeat the entire sequence 5-15 times.
Although this exercise is broken up into 4 phases, there is no stopping in the exercise. They are a continuous movements (with a few pauses), moving with the breath. The entire exercise should feel good and never strenuous.
