CHI



Generating Energy (Chi)

Chi (pronounced chee and also spelled qi or ch’i) is energy - the life giving energy that unites body, mind and spirit. Everyone has Chi. When you die, your Chi is no longer there.

Based on Five Element Theory, each elemental force generates or creates the next element in a creative sequence.

Water generates wood. Rain nourishes a tree.
Wood generates fire. Burning wood generates fire.
Fire generates earth. Ash is created from the fire.
Earth generates metal. Metal is mined from the earth.
Metal generates water. Water condenses on metal.
This creative process is illustrated:
