Now more than ever people are spending more energy than they are able to receive. They are running an energy deficit that is affecting them physically, emotionally and spiritually. When the body starts to run low on energy it is unable to sustain its vital functions, the mind becomes very vulnerable to negative emotions, and the spirit cannot receive the light it needs to maintain its original brightness and starts to become dark. This is disease.

When we are born our energy channels are fully open, but as we grow older they become progressively blocked up, impairing the body’s energy circulation. This not only results in energy shortage and blockages but also disrupts the balance of the yin and yang energies.  Energy blockages are predominantly caused by negative thinking, feelings and emotions. When we are stressed, angry, worried, fearful or depressed, the energy flow in our bodies is disrupted, causing a shortage of energy, which is transmitted to every cell and organ. If our body is deprived of energy for too long, we eventually become ill. The energy circulation in our bodies is totally dependent on the state of our minds. When there is discord in the mind or environment the energy circulation is disrupted causing ill-health and unhappiness.

So what is Ki?

Western Science defines the power, which moves and changes matter as energy.

The East defines that power as Ki. It not only includes visible matter but also the invisible power to move and change that matter endlessly.

Einstein called this energy, “vibration field”. Field is another name for space. The space of the universe is the field of energy vibration. So, scientists say, matter is created when space is extremely compressed. Matter is nothing but energy vibration and all matter has its own particular frequency; this is proved by science.

Ki is the most fundamental element of all things in the universe. It is not only the most fundamental element of the visible and invisible world but also the fundamental power to form and change matter according to that matters character.

Ki and energy are similar in concept, but not quite the same. In the West, “energy” is understood to have a characteristic of quantity, but not necessarily quality. In the East, however, Ki takes on a variety of traits and qualities.

Because Ki holds within itself all information of the basic laws of life, from birth until death, it can be said that Ki holds the information of life. Ki is not only the fundamental material but also the energy that forms nature’s order and law.

For example take a brick. To make a brick we need clay (the substance), a rectangular mold (the shape) and fire (the power which heats the brick). A brick is made when these three components combine.

The properties of Ki involve the character of all these three components within itself – substance, rules of form and energy. In having this particular character, Ki is considered a super material which has a mind or super energy that holds the information of life.

So, all living entities exist as Ki and all life comes from the activity of Ki. To explain or guess at the fundamental workings of the universe without mentioning Ki would be impossible as all movement and existence within the universe comes from Ki. Furthermore, because Ki is the fundamental element of life, the law of creation and the creative power, Ki is the cause and result of all life and the beginning and end of the universe.

Conditions for Feeling Ki

• Quiet Location: Practice in a quiet and peaceful place
• Relaxation of the Mind and Body: Before practicing, relax our body and mind through simple exercises such as full body stretching and tapping, neck exercises, waist and upper body bends.
• Mental concentration: Focus your mind on the part of the body where you want to feel Ki.
• Feeling Honestly: Accept whatever sensation you feel. Do not classify or doubt any sensation you experience.
• Devotion to Feeling: Accept and cultivate even very small sensations of energy. When you do this, those feelings will grow more intense and come into focus.

The 5 Easy Steps to Activating Your Ki:

Warm-up Hand Exercises: Training for feeling Ki usually begins with the hands. The hands are the part of the body we use the most and they are also where we feel sensations with the greatest detail. Lightly shake both hands and wrists. Clap your hands and rub your palms together. Making fists open and close your hands repeatedly. Lifting your hands, rotate your wrists rapidly 30 to 50 times. After you do this, stop for a moment and then concentrate on the sensations you feel in your hands. Repeat these exercises several times and then hold your hands with your palms together and go to the next step.

Strengthening Sensation in the Hands: Sitting in a comfortable position, place your palms together. Feel the sensation of body heat in your hands as they touch each other. Feel your pulse beating in your palms and fingers. A quiet, focused state of mind develops readily through this process. Maintain this state as you go to the next step.

Moving the Hands Horizontally: Lift your hands so that your palms face each other and then move them apart so that there is a space of about five inches between them. Repeatedly move your palms closer together and then farther apart. You will feel what seems to be a magnetic force, as if something where pushing your hands apart or pulling them together. Sometimes you’ll feel pressure, heat heaviness, or a tingling sensation. All of these sensations are the result of energy. Once you feel this energy, spread your hands farther apart, increasing the distance between your palms. When you establish this sense for feeling Ki, you will be able to maintain the feeling of energy, even though the distance between your palms grows considerably.

Moving the Hands Vertically: Position your hands so that your palms face each other, one over the other, with about two inches between them. Move one hand up as you move the other down and then switch directions. Feel the energy between your hands as you continue to do this. The sensation will vary greatly as your hands are drawn closer together and pulled farther apart.

Making an Energy Ball: With your palms facing each other, hold your hands so that your ten fingers are spread naturally and are slightly bent, as if you are holding a ball. As you continue to focus on your hands, imagine that you are holding an unseen ball of energy between them. Move your hands slightly and feel that ball of energy. The energy between your hands will feel like a big ball of cotton or a balloon. This sensation will become even clearer as you continue to roll the energy around your hands.

It is Ki that helps us open the door of our hearts. In the course of feeling Ki, without even realizing it, we are freed from our thoughts and emotions, and enter into the world of the internal. This is where we encounter our True Self, which was hidden by our thoughts, emotions, ego, and attachments.

So how do you open your heart? You can genuinely open our heart when you escape from your thoughts, emotions, ego and attachments. When the desire to define yourself is diminished, you can say you have truly opened your heart. Experiencing an open heart, will open doors to receive the love you long for while strengthening your connection to your true self. Here is a brief lesson for your guidance.

Where the mind goes, energy flows. If your mind is full of negative thoughts or old emotions, energy gets stuck and stagnated. It becomes more and more difficult to see your way clear. Energy needs to flows naturally and will occur when we clear our minds by opening up the chest meridians. The Fourth Chakra, also known as the Heart Chakra, is located behind the heart toward the middle of the chest. It links and integrates the energies of the mind and body together. It encourages wholeness, boundless love, centeredness and empathy. A calm mind loosens the chest and facilitates the flow of energy. When activated, you can experience a sense of pure love and compassion from a centered and balanced place.

By opening the energy pathways of the chest and heart through exercises and breath work, you can activate your heart center to achieve greater mental and physical harmony. Breathe!! The amount of air you inhale will increase and your breathing will deepen after you have exhaled all the air in your lungs. By lengthening each exhalation, you can release unwanted stagnant emotions and baggage.

The following exercises will teach you how to relax your mind by relaxing your body. This will open your heart center. Repeat each set four times.

• Using your finger tips, lightly tap your entire chest area. Experiencing tenderness especially in the center of your chest is normal. Continue to tap in that area.
• Sit in half lotus and lock your fingers behind your back. Inhale and bend your upper body forward from the waist while lifting both arms up behind you toward the back of your head. Exhale while slowly returning.
• Sit on your knees. Place your palms together with your arms extended out in front of you. Inhale, opening your chest as you stretch your arms out to the sides as far as possible with your palms facing forward.
• Sit half lotus. Place both hands in the prayer position in front of your chest. Inhale. Open your hands and extend your arms as far as possible at chest level. Focus on expanding your chest, keeping your spine lengthened while holding your breath. Gently pull your shoulder blades toward each other and hold for five seconds. Exhale and bring your hands together back to the prayer position. Inhale and slowly pull your arms apart as far as you can, with elbows bent and wrists flexed. Face your palms toward the sky with your shoulders and hands parallel.
• Sit in half lotus position with your thumbs and index fingertips touching. Focus on your heart, breathing slowly and gently. Imagine energy connecting the heart and expanding as you breathe. Continue for about 15 minutes. You will feel your heart becoming stronger and stronger

The New Moon sets the stage for setting new goals, hopes and wishes. I suggest writing in a journal within 48 hours after the New Moon. The optimal time would be within the first 8 hours.  Please avoid the following timeframe August 10^th 12:10pm pst – 4:01pm pst as the Moon goes void of course. If you’ve missed the opportunity within the first 48 hours, you can resume writing your new goals, hopes and wishes after 4:02pm pst on August 10 through 5:04 pm pst  on August 11^th, 2010.

Some suggested goals or wishes as it relates to this New Moon might be:

“I easily attract and experience a healthy, happy romantic relationship”

“I easily find myself re-entering the dating scene in a way that is successful for me”

“In a relationship I easily find myself being who I am so I can stay involved in the relationship that encourages my spiritual, emotional and physical well being”

“I easily find myself rising every morning with enthusiasm for the coming day”

“I easily find myself choosing projects that allows my creativity to flow”

“I easily find myself actively giving love, approval and support to the people who are important to me”

“I easily find myself giving others the benefit of the doubt”

“I easily find myself doing at least one thing a day that brings me pleasure”

“I easily find myself taking a risk outside my comfort zone to have fun”

Your answers may awaken your buried need for a healthy release:

Eating when your not hungry
Sleeping more than usual
Nonstop activity
Too much television or internet surfing
Obsessive thinking
Depression
Bodily symptons, ie., aches, pains fatigue, illness
Lack of motivation
Feeling stuck
Paralyzing fear
Consuming desire to control or change people or situations
Unhealthy habits or addictions

Practice effective release

There are five common denominators for effective release:

Acknowledge the resistance
Allow it to be
Intend to discharge it
Activate the release through words or action
Seek spiritual guidance for deep rooted issues

Enter into a state of meditation

In your mind, see yourself where you are sitting or reclining

In your mind, think of any negative traits you possess as a dark shadow in your body

Now, see this shadow representing negative traits leaving your body and being replaced with the spiritual light of your true-self

Sit quietly for another five minutes in meditation, after you feel that your visualization has had an effect.
