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.

"Chi" energy:

Chi is defined as  “The vital force believed in Taoism and other Chinese thought to be inherent in all things. The unimpeded circulation of chi and a balance of its negative and positive forms in the body are held to be essential to good health in traditional Chinese medicine.”

Understanding Chi in Chinese Philosophy:

According to ancient Chinese philosophy, every one is born with a certain amount of energy called chi in the body. This energy circulates in our bodies through invisible channels called meridians. The channels constitute the main trunks, which run longitudinally and deeply in the body and relate to each organ, while the collaterals, which represent the branches of the channels, run transversely and superficially. The system of channels and collaterals includes the 12 regular channels, the 8 extra channels, and the 15 collaterals. This criss-cross network in which chi circulates, is spread over the body. Internally it connects over the viscera, and externally with the four extremities and the superficial tissues and organs. Its action is to regulate the function of different organs, transport vital energy, and connect the external with the internal organs, thus making the body an organic whole. Dysfunction of the channels and collaterals is an important cause of disease.

The chi flows from one meridian into the other, completing energy cycle every 24 hours. The amount and quality of this energy is determined by heredity. It is also influenced by how we live our lives. We can enhance our store of energy by taking care of ourselves by eating the right food, taking proper physical exercise, and breathing clean air. We deplete it by inappropriate living habits such as intemperance in eating and drinking, anger, fears, anxiety, too much or too little sexual activity, or too much physical exertion. Any of these stresses and excesses can block the flow of chi in different parts of the body, or in the meridians. Illness is an excess or deficiency of this ene
