Need More Oomph – Chi Your World!

Are you finding it hard to get motivated, inspired or excited?

Then perhaps you need to increase your Chi.

Chi is your life force, your spark or the ‘fire in the belly’. It exists not only inside you but around you in your home and the world you live in. Your own personal Chi is always mixing with the Chi around you.

If you want to increase your Chi you need to look at the food you eat, the way you move your body, the thoughts you have and also at your environment.

The Chi you take in from your environment, including clothes, sounds, light, color and people, influences your moods, emotions, physical energy and over time, your health. That’s why it’s so important that the Chi around you is not only plentiful and free flowing but that it’s harmonious and it supports you. This is the basis of Feng Shui.

Creating harmony in your environment will promote inner balance, reduce stress, slow down early ageing and allow vitality to flow through your body.

Below are some easy tips on ways to help you get some more zing in your life.

Natural Clothing: Wear clothing made from natural materials such as cotton and wool, as synthetic fabrics can prevent the natural flow of Chi to and from your energy field.

Remove Clutter: The space around you is one key indicator to what is going on in your mind, and therefore your life. To enhance your Chi, discard items that no longer hold value for you with the intention of releasing the old thoughts, beliefs, and emotions attached to them. By clearing out items, you open the path for new energy to enter your life.

No Chemicals: Chemicals can block the flow of Chi. Start using natural cleaning products, pesticides and cosmetics.

Natural Light: Whenever possible live and work in natural light as it provides healthy, harmonious Chi, while artificial lighting can drain your Chi.

Avoid Chi Drainers: These are activities, people or places that drain your energy and leave you feeling depleted.

Colours: Colours have a major impact on your emotions and energy levels. Some colours such as red are very stimulating and can be great when you need an energy pick-me-up, while other colors such as blue are very calming and are perfect in the bedroom or after a hard day at work. So surround yourself and wear colours that make you feel good. Just remember that as your personal energy changes, the colours that you need around you also need to change to complement what’s happening internally.

Music: Music has a major impact on your emotional state and energy levels, so make sure you listen to music that makes you feel good – this will increase your Chi.

Have Fun: Be spontaneous – laugh. Do something silly! Do what you love. If you don't enjoy your day then your Chi will naturally become suppressed. Sometimes you need to ‘fake it till you make it’. By making yourself laugh you will be increasing your Chi which will in turn will naturally increase your feeling of well-being.

Nature: Spend time in nature or bring the outdoors in with flowers and plants as these all impart positive healing Chi.

Balance Yin & Yang: Yin and Yang are polar opposites of each other, complementing each other. They are found in all things in life and both are needed for a healthy balanced life. The ideal is to balance these two opposing energies for harmony and health. - balance darkness with light, warmth with cold etc.
