Book excerpt: Chi is the Eastern term for the life force energy that makes us alive --and guides us spiritually, emotionally, and physically. Incorporating exercise and meditation, Chi Fitness is a revolutionary technique by which you can channel this life force energy and put yourself on a path toward spiritual growth, while maintaining a healthy body. Following in the footsteps of such writers as Caroline Myss and Gary Zukav, who discuss energy and personal empowerment, Sue Benton and Drew Denbaum have expanded these principles of self-development to include movements and meditations designed to help you activate the chi within you. Benton and Denbaum explain how the delicate balance of personal energy can be disrupted by personal problems, family conflicts, and work stress. Every time we allow anger or sadness to take hold of our consciousness, we give away our chi, the source of our strength. Chi Fitness will teach you the Basic Power Practices you can use to feel and manage your chi and to bring it under conscious control. You will learn about your energy centers, or chakras, which correspond to specific parts of your body and particular areas of your emotional life. Becoming aware of your chakras will help you pinpoint particular problems and focus your energy in order to achieve a more balanced life. Chi Fitness is the perfect workout for people who want to cultivate a healthy mind, body, and spirit. The exercises are designed to help you clear the energy blocks that are restricting your internal power. The Power Practices included in the book will help you explore old patterns of behavior that may be holding you back and allow you to take positive steps to reclaim your chi. Chi Fitness is a workout everyone will enjoy. People of all ages and levels of physical fitness can do the simple yet powerful exercises, which produce immediate results. This low-impact, easy-to-follow program will help you feel calmer, happier, stronger.
