How can I learn to control my chi energy and be able to regulate it whenever I want? And also what are some foods I can eat to help control it? And other ways to enhance it etc?

Below your navel is what is known as the dan tien (spelled phonetically) which is where your chi energy is thought to be stored. The most important thing in directing chi is mind power; believe you are doing it, whilst doing exercises e.g. horse stance if you are holding your arms out straight in front of you (which is sometimes done), imagine the energy flowing in through your palms when you breathe in and moving down your body into your navel area, and when you breathe out, imagine it going out through your arms.

Other exercises such as “pushing mountains” and “raising the sky” are great to stimulate the chi flow. After practice you should definitely be able to feel it, it may start off as a tingling. and if you imagine a ball of chi between your hands and imagine energy coming out of your hands and building up inside that ball, after practice it should feel something like pushing two same poles of a magnet together. With practice that ball will also get bigger. you can also stimulate chi flow through meditation. imagining it flowing, around your body.

I  have mentioned practice numerous times above and I must say you have to be persistent. It will not seem to happen at first, you have to be patient and keep practicing. The most important things are mind power, you have to see yourself doing it, and practice, if possible daily!

Good times to practice are early in the morning and late at night. Avoid mid day! Doing it by a tree and flowing water is great, and preferably with a breeze, however I understand this is sometimes impossible, so use quiet surroundings like your room with windows open, you might feel some of the effects like tingling in the fingers. Eventually if you push your hands together it should feel like pushing two repelling magnets together and the feeling should gradually increase.

The main tip is not to give up! Just keep at it to reap the benefits.
