"The Importance of Ener-Chi Art Ener-Chi Art is a unique method of rejuvenation that helps restore a balanced flow of chi (vital energy) through the organs and systems in the body, within less than one minute. I consider this healing approach to be a profound tool in facilitating a more successful outcome to all other natural healing methods. When chi flows properly through the cells of the body, the cells can more efficiently remove their metabolic waste products; more readily absorb all the oxygen, water, and nutrients they need; and conduct any necessary repair work more swiftly." - Andreas Moritz, The Amazing Liver & Gallbladder Flush: A Powerful Do-It-Yourself Tool To Optimize your Health and Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"Chinese Medicine: The drug is used to treat cold pain in the lower abdomen, impotence, and hernia (said to be due to cold "chi").

"What I found I was deficient in at that point was the essential chi energy. The chi energy is life force energy. It had been diminished by nearly two and a half years of training and pushing nonstop. It doesn 't show up in our blood or in our cells, but something is missing. It took almost six months before that was able to rebalance itself and rejuvenate. Then I was able to start all over again and, this time, compensate for it. The rule of health is compensation." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"The general theory of acupuncture is based on the premise that vital energy (known as qi or chi) flows along pathways in the body, that there are patterns of this energy flow that are essential for health, and that disruptions of this flow are responsible for disease. Optimal health is achieved when energy is in balance, flowing effortlessly through the body. Qi travels twenty major pathways, which TCM calls meridians. They're accessible through 400 different acupuncture points." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.)

"In some traditions, for instance Chinese medicine, that's called the chi. In homeopathy, we call it the vital force. It relates to chronic fatigue because chronic fatigue, as well as many other conditions, represents a disbalance in the person's system, particularly on their energy level. When that is corrected, many things fall into place. "I treat chronic fatigue and Candida together, since many of their symptoms overlap. Although the cause of chronic fatigue is not known, the Epstein Barr virus, a member of the herpes virus group, is often involved." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"In the exotic language of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), astragalus boosts the immune system by "stabilizing the exterior" and strengthening the "chi." The Chinese knew thousands of years ago that astragalus could strengthen our shield ("exterior") against disease and increase overall vitality (chi), long before anyone knew about bacteria, white blood cells, or the immune system. You may already be accustomed to taking echinacea at the first sign of a cold or flu, or when people around you are getting sick. How is astragalus different?" - Robert S. McCaleb, Evelyn Leigh, and Krista Morien, The Encyclopedia of Popular Herbs (Get the book.)

"Chinese medicine describes the flow of energy from the brain through the body in a series of meridians, or energy pathways, as well as areas in the body where energy ("chi") is concentrated. The rishis of India developed a scheme of bodily energy flow based on chakras. Chakra is Sanskrit for "wheel," and Hindu medicine describes a series of distinct energy centers (spinning wheels of concentrated energy) in the head, spine, and to a lesser degree, in the extremities." - Rick Levy and Lou Aronica, Miraculous Health: How to Heal Your Body by Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Mind (Get the book.)

"In Chinese acupuncture, liver chi problems can be associated with depression and certain forms of migraine headaches. Really, I just felt like touching her head for my next point and trusted that! IF; Two-Point Example This could be an example of working on TMJ. My first point is on the jaw joint and my second is a tooth in this case.

IG: Two-Point Example I am playing with a knee, while accessing the quantum energy field." - Richard Bartlett, Matrix Energetics: The Science and Art of Transformation (Get the book.)

"Traditional Chinese medicine calls this concept of internal energy "Chi." It is also known as "Ki," "Qi," or "Vital Life Force." Oriental medicine has known for thousands of years that a subtle energy field exists in the body, and that when the energy pathways are open, a person is in superior physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. ENERGY IS EVERYWHERE As explained in chapter 2, the energy in our bodies is actually electricity, or polarized energy. We learn from quantum physics that everything in the universe is an expression of energy." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"This vital energy, called qi or chi, keeps the blood circulating, warms the body, and fights disease. The intimate connection between the organ systems of the body and the meridians enables the practice of acupuncture to intercede and rebalance the body's energy through stimulation of specific points along the meridians. People who have used Chinese medicine for a particular physical symptom frequently experience improvement in seemingly unrelated problems." - Robert Ivker, Sinus Survival: The Holistic Medical Treatment for Allergies, Asthma, Bronchitis, Colds, and Sinusitis (rev., 3rd ed.) (Get the book.)

"The body draws on its innate intelligence to access universal chi, or prana, as it is called in India. chi is then intensified and transferred through the hands to promote healing in other living things. Quantum touch works on the principle that areas of illness, vibrating as they do at lower frequencies, will naturally move to harmonize with the higher vibrations being held by the quantum touch practitioner. It is the loving intent and focused attention that allows quantum touch to work. Energy follows thought." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"Postmodern Taoism is seen in the popularity of tai chi, chi gong, and feng shui, and in the renewed interest in traditional Chinese medicine. Postmodern Judaism can be recognized in the newly revived tradition of the Kabbalah. Even Islam has a postmodern expression in Sufi spirituality and in the popularity of the poetry of Rumi and Hafiz. In addition to the postmodern versions of the major wisdom traditions, we also see within postmodern culture a revival of certain pretraditional religions such as paganism, shamanism, and Native American spirituality." - Steve McIntosh, Integral Consciousness and the Future of Evolution (Get the book.)

"Life Force Energy In Oriental medicine, life force energy is referred to as chi. It flows through your body's energy meridians and acupuncture points. In India, this is called prana. Dr. Valerie Hunt of UCLA has proven the existence of such bioenergetic fields and their effects on health. There are now instruments that can measure them. Her book Infinite Mind: Science of the Human Vibrations of Consciousness describes these in detail. Cooked food has no life force, no chi.

"It is thought that the use of acupuncture, herbs, massage, t'ai chi, yoga, and other techniques help correct and stimulate the body's innate healing forces.

Next, he figured that crop yields could be enhanced by planting seeds closer together while actually reducing the amount of fertilizer applied.

"Brett explains that traditional Chinese medicine views cystitis as the end result of an accumulation of damp and heat in the bladder: "Often there is a weak flow of chi (energy) in the kidney and the spleen meridians. Weakness of spleen energy leads to the formation of damp in the body, which, in turn causes a stagnation of energy. As in nature, whenever anything builds up, there is friction. A stagnation of chi eventually leads to the development of heat, what we in the West interpret as cystitis. "Spleen chi is easily injured through dietary indiscretion." - Dr. Gary Null, The Woman's Encyclopedia of Natural Healing (Get the book.)

"The body can restore its health and vitality much more easily when there is constant, unrestricted availability of chi. Although I consider the liver flush to be one of the most effective tools to help the body return to balanced functioning, by itself it may not be able to restore the body's overall vital energy, as a result of many years of congestion and deterioration. Test results have shown that Ener-Chi Art may very well fill this gap. The use of Ener-Chi Ionized Stones is another practical and effective tool to improve one's health and vitality." - Andreas Moritz, The Amazing Liver & Gallbladder Flush: A Powerful Do-It-Yourself Tool To Optimize your Health and Wellbeing (Get the book.)
