Definition of Chi...

Chi, Ki and Prana are just word and have whatever meaning we give them. Chi being real or not all depends on how you define it.

Dr. Yang Jwing-Ming, in his book “The Root of Chinese Chi Kung” defines Chi as “any type of energy that is able to demonstrate power and strength. The energy can be electricity, magnetism, heat or light.” He goes on to say that most people have too narrow a definition of Chi. He lists some examples of some of the kinds of Chi as follows.

Diann Chi- electric power

Reh Chi- heat

Ren Chi- the body energy of a living person

Jeng Chi- the spiritual strength to do good

Chi Shyh- the moral of an army

Goe Chi- ghost Chi

Tian Chi- Heavenly Chi

Hwo Chi- the energy of living things

Chi is energy itself and can be used to describe the state of the energy. By this definition Chi is real and is easily proven. Chi can be wacking someone up side the head, talking your way out of a fight or the sensations you get in your body when meditating.

If you live a couple of doors down from what most of us call reality, Chi as you define it probably doesn’t exist. (either watched too much DBZ or played too much D&D…)

About the only way you can argue with this is if you dispute the fact that kinetic, electric, heat and light energy exist… Good luck! Check out the book. It’s a bit thick but has lots of good info.
