If your chi is not it's normal self, then it's because you are not your normal self.
If it's off it could be because of health, blockage, mental state.
Try some qi gong like Ba Duan Jin, that usually works well for me, but if you could clarify the meaning of this thread, such as what your concerns are, perhaps some can give better answers.

you need to state your question in better way..

from wat I understand from your question, Mei Hua gave the answer.

lol, yeah, I said that question way wrong. Sorry, what I meant was that durring exercises like push hands my listening energys been way off and I haven't like taken any huge breaks since I last played or anything and I haven't changed anything about the way I play...

actually, I think this belongs in the Tai Chi board

What listening energy ? Listening energy is a misnomen for the skill to sense peoples activities, like some boxers feel when the other guy will strike, and the reaction from the own muscle and skeletal strength. Some part of it is simply feeling from touch if the strength is raising or going away, so they will change direction, some is some intuition what will come, like boxers would often see that someone is faking and coming with an overhand instead, looking at the other guy.

Perhaps you are nervous? I find that is one of the usual suspects. Perhaps you just need to relax a little. Did you feel comfortable when your push hands were not working for you?

Yeah, like bobblhead said, you might just have to turn it back "on".

lol, alright thanks guys! I think it's partly because I haven't been sparring as often so my reflexes (or listening energy) are down

Let us know what it was if you ever figure it out.
