CHI BATHING... by Kavisha
This is an exercise taught to me by Andy .
When you are feeling under par or not well, try Qi (chi) bathing. Chi means energy. Where ever you are, (you can be sitting or lying down ): conciously let the universal Qi into the top of your head from the sky and the bottom of your feet from the earth and let it circulate round the body.You can also heighten this sensation by curling the tip of your tongue to the roof of your mouth while the Qi circulates. Imagine this positive energy that is available freely from the universe to be pouring into you and healing you and bathing you.
If you have a painful area bring your conciousness deeply into that spot.It also works with emotional pain.Think of your problem then feel where it is in your ody.you may notice a tightening in the throat or your heart area or stomach...You can send a shot of consciousness to this area and deeply let yourself feel the pain without commenting mentally and notice what happens when you bring conciousness to that place. How to do it ? Breathe deeply and bring your attention and loving healing intention to that place in the body.Thich Na Hanh ,the buddhist monk says you can say to your body part that is playing up "I love you and Thankyou! "then you may notice the feeling there....again without comment..just notice what happens when you bring conciousness to the situation.

I think because I have been practicing the arts for many decades, I only have to think about practicing and I feel the effects of it. Yet, ofcourse, I do practice them now and again. In my experience, the simple stances and simple movements, very basic stuff, is very effective. But our bodies is a great peculiar thing. Some days everything won't work, and some days not even doing anything, will work great. I think our chi lives it's own life. In all truthfullness, I guess it is because we are composite beings, we are not just one thing, we are a class of things that need to play together to achieve greater harmonies. With time, we learn what works and what doesn't, and when, and can remedy a lot that others would not, simply by very little means. I knew of an aikido teacher who claimed, that all the really sought to teach, was the simplest things. He said that true mastery is rooted in that, and that the simplest things on a higher level is the most efficient when practiced. I agree. It is the old daoist concept of wu wei.
