scrambled chi

IMG_2251_320.jpg


Yesterday I was on the floor having a chi gong Tui Na treatment . I asked my practitioner what she was doing. (She spends hours gently pulling on my finger and toe joints, "making space".). She said I have lots of ja chi (think that's how its spelled, can't find it on the net) life force energy in the wrong place, misplaced chi. I told her that her methods reminded me of playing those little, enclosed hand games which require you to seat loose silver balls in the proper holes by gently moving the container. She said her metaphor was finding little ducklings that have wandered off into the grass and gently guiding them back into line.

Growing up in an aversive energy field (and, I'm beginning to think that it is a rare person who doesn't) can really scramble your chi, stopping the free flow of life force energy into the body. Believe me, it's a big job to put it back in the right alignment. It's taking all the kings horses and all the kings men.
