Ch'i

The problem with ch'i is that because it is so gentle and so weak (the weakest of energies), it is too easy to ignore and overlook. In this sense it is similar to gravity, the weakest of natural forces. All our physical actions rely upon gravity but also ignorantly overide and fight it. Yet in the same way that when we start to work with gravity by rooting we connect to the source of gravity – the Earth, so when we start to work with ch'i through conscious breathing we connect to the source of ch'i – Nature herself.
