Understanding of internal energy “Chi” and Kungchido

(Kung Chi Do)  Approach

Internal energy is defined as the energy associated with the random, disordered motion of molecules. It is separated in scale from the macroscopic ordered energy associated with moving objects; it refers to the invisible microscopic energy on the atomic and molecular scale.

It’s now an accepted fact, that when a substance is reduced down to it’s smallest particle, the atom, a point is reached where it no longer remains as physical matter.

When one reverses the above events we begin to see how to physical matter is formed, and points very strongly, to the fact that everything, including our own body is made up of electrical force and energy.

All through out the history we find evidence of knowledge concerning what powers the human body. In fact, this knowledge has been fundamental to the development of many ancient traditions. The Hindus, Buddhist, Taoist, for example, have sought out and put forth theories on the unseen human energy system for thousands and thousand years back.

For example, traditional Chinese medicine works with the basic five-fold energy system of the human body. The forces and natures of the colors, green, yellow, blue, red, and white are said to manifest in the body as different processes, systems and behaviors. A true state of health is said to be achieved when these ‘elements’ are balanced and working together in harmony.

Benefit from internal energy and external energy regulation:

Stress reduction, better focus and concentration, increased flexibility, improved strength, enhanced immune system, better balance, improved memory, improved circulation, and increased coordination

Cultivation of internal Energy:

The cultivation of internal energy is the key to long life, a healthy body and a calm mind. The art of internal strength has its origin in the East, conceived thousands and thousand years ago.

Increasing our internal energy requires a concentrated effort, mental concentration, and determination. Just knowing what we need to do does not generate energy, you must practice it. Just like exercising a muscle in bodybuilding, lifting a weight one time will not get any results. It takes daily exercise; with energy building it takes daily generating and storing of energy. We can generate immense energy, but if we quit doing energy exercises our energy will slowly decrease to that of a sub-optional level. It is like keeping the flame going to keep the water boiling.

All of us have an immeasurable potential for the knowledge of the bodies’ internal energy systems that needs to be explored and exercised. The ability to increase our energy is within the grasp of us.
