Rep Power: 0 | | | The Source of Chi
I'm skeptical about the chi being the universal life energy. I'm not ready to fall for that. Should I? Below is a section of a book on Chi:
--------------------------------------
The Source of Chi
Is the unmanifested what in the east is called chi, a kind of universal life energy?
No, it isn't. The unmanifested is the source of chi. Chi is the inner energy field of your body. It is the bridge between the outer you and the Source. It lies halfway between the manifested, the world of form, and the Unmanifested. Chi can be likened to a river or an energy stream. If you take the focus of your consciousness deeply into the inner body, you are tracing the course of this river back to it's Source. Chi is movement: the Unmanifested is stillness. When you reach a point of absolute stillness, which is nevertheless vibrant with life, you have gone beyond the inner body and beyond chi to the Source itself: the unmanifested. Chi is the link between the unmanifested and the physical universe.

Rep Power: 4 | | | Thats my wifes job.
If you cut yourself with chi feeling strong, what do you think happens? Does it feel different? Like if you spin your arms and knick you finger on something a blood goes everywhere, does you chi go away, or do you feel it outside you body?
I might try this.

Rep Power: 220 | | | I've never tried that, there is the possibility of loss of chi by doing such though and could be harmfull
