They say that energy goes where attention flows. And in today’s insane media universe, our attention is everywhere. Which means our energy is everywhere, and if it’s everywhere, it’s not where we need it most, contributing to our personal health and wellness.
This is especially true in times of crisis, when tragic events flood society-at-large with intense fear, anxiety, and worry, causing extreme stress. When human beings are operating in these states, our spiritual energy is drained, and physical and psychological health rapidly deteriorate.
There is more to this than just a feeling, it’s the science of Chi, your life force energy. Taoist master and author of numerous books on personal energy development, Mantak Chia explains.
Conserving, protecting and strengthening your chi is challenging today with so many distractions and with so many negative emotions in motion around us.
Remarking in an article on Taoist Cosmic healing , Chia explains how negative chi affects us.
Chia’s practices and teachings have greatly benefited my life. Many years ago I used the instructions in his book, Awaken Healing Energy Through The Tao: The Taoist Secret of Circulating Internal Power, with great effect to awaken this life force energy within me.
His most fundamental meditation practice, the microcosmic orbit, is a simple but powerful exercise that anyone can do to develop a stronger connection to his or her life force energy.
Speaking recently with Brian Rose of London Real, HE explains what the microcosmic orbit is about, and why it’s so important that we turn our focus inward toward the body. If the brain is always so intently focused on the external world, the brain is not able to do the important work of regulating the organs of the body,
Focusing inward and calming the mind is essential for health, especially in an environment so rich with negative emotions.
