Last month I wrote about Chi, the energy of who you are, “no thought, no effort, just is”. In working with this, I am again asking myself why is it so hard to remain in touch with this energy? To remain completely grounded in every moment, completely at ease in every situation with that all-knowing intuition to respond in an empowering way? And then I remind myself that I am on a Journey and that at every step I am learning something new about . . . about what? If Chi is my innate Self that is all I need to live a fulfilled life then what is all the rest? All the stress I have felt, all the disappointments in my past, all the uncomfortable experiences I have had and seen others have... what is all this? Why does life have to challenge us? Why can't everything flow easily?

Who You Are... Back in July last year, I wrote about Intention being a 'How to' rather than 'achieving a particular goal' and this feels like what Chi seems to be. It is a Quality rather than something you have been taught or acquired, “a distinctive attribute or characteristic” that encompasses everything about who you truly are, is who you are, is how you are.... but what about the rest? We are products of our experience, of our history, of our genetics. Our brains are amazing at being presented with information and making sense out of it in a way that usually helps us get on with life. Unfortunately some things are too uncomfortable or we just do not know enough to process and resolve them in the moment but we may still find a way to carry on... illness, anxiety, physical and mental health issues may be the result. Depending on the severity and length of time this goes on, your Chi gradually becomes overwhelmed and becomes hidden away under everything else. You may feel lost or find you do not have time for things you really enjoy.

Rediscovering Who Are You... My experience with Energy Healing has shown me that rather than 'healing something' or 'self-growth', you are actually learning to recognise and piece together your energy patterns and then either transform or remove them so that they no longer disrupt your natural way of being, your Chi quality. As you move through this self-transformation process, you may also realise that some of your Energy is not actually yours and is just ways of being that have helped you cope or how you may have been taught to be. Realisation can happen on a very deep subconscious level especially when something really conflicts with or limits your Chi, limits the True You. If you constantly feel stressed or have lack of fulfilment in work or relationships, it is probable that your Chi needs to be uncovered again... Rediscover who you are... Press Life's Play button ! :)
