I’m interested in these stuffs these days, and I’m really wondering. What is the difference? And like with chi energy, you can make a psi ball as a beginner, and later on much more like healing. But what with chakra?

“Chi” also known as “ki” or “Qi” is energy. It usually refers to the energy that flows through “meridians” in your body, but it is also the energy that flows through all things in the universe. This energy can be directed and intensified with training and practice. Think of Reiki (Rei- Universal life, Ki – energy) touch for health, or therapeutic touch which has become quite popular in hospice care practicies.

Chakras are like little power houses inside your body that process the energy and direct it. While I believe in total, the human body has something like 250 in total, there are 7 main ones: Crown, third eye, throat, heart, solar plexus, sacral and root chakra. Its very interesting to study them and learn how they work, what organs they govern, and how to keep them in good working order.

While the body’s energy system and chakras are not necessarily recognized in western medicine, it is gaining a lot of support by individual members and areas of western medicine. It has been fully supported in eastern medicine for hundreds if not thousands of years.

I would recommend taking some introductory classes to learn about energy work first. Another essential step is to start practicing meditation on a daily basis. Making psi balls is very hard and requires alot of skill and experience in energy work, so it would be helpful for you to start learning how the energy works first.

A good starting place is to take a therapeutic touch class which is usually only an evening or a half day session. It will give you a good foundation to get started.

I hope that helps.
