Flowing with Qi
The key to flowing with Qi is awareness.
The key to flowing with Qi is awareness.Qi (“chee”) is living energy that manifests as infinite forms. Qi is not obvious, yet it is present within us and around us everywhere.
When Qi is abundant and flowing through us, we feel happy, healthy, vital, responsive, present, and lively. When Qi is depleted and/or stagnant, we feel grumpy, tired, pain, tension, reactive, hyperactive, and stuck. The state, balance, and flow of Qi is the basis of our mind-body health.
How to benefit from Qi
Bring your attention to Qi. It is not obvious at first, so just wonder about Qi.
Wonder about the notion of an energetic basis for your physical form.
Wonder about the physical sensations of emotions – some emotions are “heavy,” while others are “light.”
How can an emotion have weight? The sensations of emotional weight bring us closer to Qi.
Feel your breath moving in and out your lungs. What is your breath? Qi is gathered as we breathe. Play around with sensing the Qi within your breath.
Qi is ever present.
Turning the attention toward Qi, engages Qi.
The only way to know Qi is to experience Qi. The way to experience Qi is to wonder about it, and to allow your attention to drift toward Qi. When your attention connects with Qi, you will know it for yourself.

Hi Cindy. How do I learn more about Qi Gong and Reiki? Thank you.
Hi Rebeca,
Learning the meridians, points and Chinese theory gives you the basis for these practices. I have online classes to teach these fundamentals – http://bigtreehealing.com/webinar-courses/
Ask around your local area for trusted teachers of each method – keep asking until you find a teacher who feels right to you. Enjoy your journey!
Cindy. Thank you for putting your time and energy into teaching us about Qi and Chinese medicine. May the Holiday season bring you only good, happy Qi.
