To CHI or not to CHI

... that is the question...

So what do you think and more importantly, what do you do when somebody tells you you have the most amazing CHI energy they have ever seen and felt? 

That somebody is an overwhelmingly beautiful woman over 65 years old (she will forgive my bluntness about the age issue), she seems to be serene (no, she is!), well spoken, highly educated, carrying her body in a noble way. Everything about her screams "aristocratic". As soon as I see her, I like her immediately for her energy, for the color that surrounds her.

You have got to wonder. Who is she? And how does she know? How does she feel the CHI energy within me? Did she study about it? Is it a gift she has? If so, does she observe it with every single person that crosses her path? (Must be pretty colorful, let me tell you that!) Either way, it is mind blowing to hear such thing. And flattering (hmm, I think!). She isn't the first one to make that observation and you know how I get when I don't understand something. I ask, I read, I do research. And this is what I found out:

Chi (spelled in many different ways but I prefer this form) comes from China and the writings (500 BC) link the word to breath and blood. Chi energy is a subtle electro magnetic energy that runs through everything we know. The energy of Chi emits vibrant, bright colors (also called the aura), a vibrational frequency and a sound. It carries information with it as it flows from one thing to another. The energy flowing through your body will predominantly carry your thoughts, feelings and emotions, but will mix with other energies around you. All the time some of your energy is floating off, away from you, whilst you also draw in new energy from the ambient energy around you.

When CHI becomes disturbed, stagnant, imbalanced - diseases and illness begin to take form. The aura becomes darker and discolored, your personal frequency vibrates the wrong way and the meridians and chakras become blocked. I am not going to go into details about those because I still don't quite understand them to their extend. But if you have an insight on it that you wish to share, please - you know where to find me!

In a way this all could be kind of scary. Because what all the research about CHI energy implies is that the energy of some of your thoughts and emotions literally floats off into world around you. Now, when everything is functioning correctly - it is rather awesome thing to release into the world or bath in when it is coming from the others. But when they are dark and negative? Yuck, who would want to bath in heavy mud all the time???

The idea of picking up interesting insights, revelations and even solutions to my own problems sounds highly inspiring, motivating, exciting. Yes, please! Especially because that means that whatever the fresh CHI energy I draw into my own field will bring in something of the world around me also to the people that surround me. If you see what I mean. And you DO know how I feel about sharing!!! (and not just the yummy candies!)

It is said that meditation is an important part of life. I don't know how to meditate. I am way too agitated by the things that can be done, seen, read, learned, shared. I don't even breath correctly, so how could one expect of me to know how to meditate?

This all brings me to the following question: So, how many positive people do you really have around you? And how many of those dark, never satisfied ones? When I looked at the list of my friends, I must say - I felt (and I still do) pretty lucky. Apparently (many wise people said so in the past) - we only attract what we are and who we are. I am surrounded by some very awesome people. Intelligent, intellectually stimulating, funny, positive, happy, generous, kind and loving people. Remember those wise people? - I definitely want to be all of the above and more! For myself and for the others, for you.

Dear Miss Mari. I would like to dedicate this post to you because you reminded me how wonderful it feels to feel good. And I've come to this conclusion by giving it a thought. Respect yourself enough to never feel guilty about removing toxic people from your life. It doesn’t matter whether these people are relatives, romantic interests, coworkers, old friends, or new acquaintances – you don’t have to make room in your life for people who make you feel like you’re less than you are. You deserve more. You deserve to be a pretty color and a great energy. You deserve to be happy.
