Ki Energy, the Bridge Linking the Body and Mind
Aug 16th 2008Phil LawstoneDahn Yoga & Ilchi Lee
Brain Respiration includes a method of conscious breathing for the accumulation of life energy to create a Power Brain. Therefore, a basic prerequisite for Brain Respiration by Ilchi Lee is the ability to sense and use Ki, or life energy.
Ki is the bridge linking the body and mind. Ki is the essence of life, moving and flowing freely. When Ki coalesces with enough density, it is transformed into a form of energy that we can see and touch. The continuous joining together and drifting apart of Ki energy comprises the rhythm of the phenomenon of life. Everything in existence undergoes constant change. The things that surround us, and even our selves are temporary- manifestations of Ki energy.
Although we are immersed in this grand flow of energy- every moment of our lives, we are unable to sense its currents unless our senses are properly attuned. However, we can awaken our innate ability to sense the slight, but pervasive vibrations that define our existence. Our exclusive dependence on rational thought and language has obscured our natural ability to sense the flow of energy. It is up to us to reawaken it.
By opening blockages in the energy pathways and reawakening our innate ability to sense energy flow, we can recover our health and natural balance. When you develop sensitivity to Ki and appreciation for the Ki energy within you, you will be able to utilize your body’s potential more fully. Furthermore, you will be able to utilize the information that is transmitted through energy pathways, for spiritual communication occurs through energy exchange.
