Xochi is your life energy what do we
mean when we say life energy sometimes
I'm still not sure
and it seems like science still hasn't
really caught up with what exactly this
she is sometimes I think about it like
Wi-Fi or radio waves or electromagnetism
their energies that have always existed
but they're invisible to the human eye
and to the most human senses but
eventually our technology caught up when
we are able to pick up these energies
cool thing mochi is that your body is
actually the instrument that can feel it
so here I'm going to show you a couple
exercises to awaken and sense the Chi in
your own body it's very quick so first I
want to bring the chin to the hands so
just rub the hands together generate a
little warmth bring a little blood in
wake up the sensitivity in the hands
it's infirm nice and vigorous a little
heat and friction in the palms
just curl the fingers touch the thumb to
the first finger and then touch the
fingernails together
and just rub the fingernails back and
forth so you should hear a little
clicking as the fingernails rub against
each other what you're trying to do here
is send a vibration from the fingernails
into the bones of the hands want to feel
the whole hand structure vibrating here
as the fingernails rub against each
other so you want to be pretty vigorous
pretty fast might even be a little bit
uncomfortable on the fingernails and
wake up that vibration in the hands
let's take a few deep breaths in and out
through the nose
don't let off the pressure keep it nice
and firm nice and vigorous
what we're doing here is stimulating
what's called piezo electricity so as we
vibrate bones the bones are largely made
of collagen and the collagen as it
vibrates produces electromagnetic fields
and what's interesting is we can
actually sense that electromagnetism at
the palms of our hands
just hold the palms facing towards each
other you might notice some buzzing some
electricity in the hands I notice not
just what you feel in the hands what we
feel in the space between the hands move
the hands a little closer a little
further apart very slowly you might
notice there's this cloud of electricity
between the hands there a sense of
pressure and the palms as the hands come
a little closer
electromagnetic field and sense it with
the hands
yeah the hands down
I'll activate that piezo electricity in
the whole body you might be wondering
what's the difference between
electromagnetism or piezo electricity
and she and to be honest I'm not sure
the difference because when I practice
Qigong even without these bone vibrating
techniques
I still feel a very similar sensation in
the hands which is reported on a lot of
Qigong even just using these very slow
motion relaxed flowing movements with
deep breathing people start to feel as
electrical field very strongly in the
hands around the body and the space
around them and here we're just
manifesting maybe a more physical
version of that and interesting so here
I'll just shake the body so you want to
be standing for this one just relax the
shoulders relax the hands everything go
that everything's shake even let the
head not up and down I'm going to start
to pick the heels up and here we'll
bounce the heels into the floor and as
you do we're sending a vibration from
the heels up through the bones of the
whole body and usually I find the more I
straighten the legs the stronger that
vibration travels through the body
because I'm not absorbing that impact
with the knees so you can play with that
a little bit don't have the knees
completely straight but a little bit
straighter and the knees will help that
vibration move through the whole bone
structure again you want to go nice and
firm the stronger you make that
vibration the stronger that
electromagnetism at the end we're gonna
take some nice deep breaths
one reportedly good for bone density
feel that vibration go all the way to
the fingertips to the crown of the head
also a good calf workout
good slow it down just pause seal the
body and you might feel this buzzing
this electric like feeling with a whole
body maybe more in the legs maybe more
in the hands notice where you feel it
and just allow that energy to spread
through the whole body you can feel it
expand around the body electromagnetic
field cell membranes have receptors for
electromagnetism the same way they
receive chemistry chemical signals like
insulin or testosterone cell membranes
can receive electrical and energetic
information that electromagnetism soak
into every cell of your body
a little example of our body's ability
to sense feel and generate energy and
where Chi this esoteric idea ends and
electromagnetism radio waves electricity
energies that we have well studied in
Western science where that line is
between those two I don't actually know
maybe there isn't one but either way I
hope you feel empowered that you can
sense and generate your own power and
energy and you know if you dive deeper
into Qigong you can build that energy
and bring it into your life in a way
that enhances your health enhances your
cognition and it answers your experience
of the life so if you enjoy the force
you
