Remember the “Patronus” spell, which takes a different form depending on the person who casts it in the Harry Potter books and movies (Harry’s is a stag, Hermione’s an otter, etc)? That’s how I’ve been thinking about what it feels like when chi energy moves through the human body. In Harry Potter’s world, the Patronus is a protective charm, and because everyone needs different protections, everyone’s protector looks different.
So too with chi energy, that mysterious force that each of us–in our very different bodies–need to keep flowing to maintain health and inner peace.
Yesterday at my acupuncture appointment, I felt my chi-Patronus in full force. It’s like a cool, sudden shiver-wash that starts at a point and spreads out like a crashing cymbal’s sound waves. In the past, I’ve also experienced a humming sensation in my lips, or even the feeling that my mouth is watering (in a “Mmmmm, donuts….” kind of way).
What does your chi-Patronus look like? And when do you experience it – on the acupuncture table? Just before you fall asleep? On the subway? When you hear a certain piece of music?

Chi is a great feeling and often “weird” if you never felt it before.
Acupuncturists can make you feel the chi. But interesting, those doctors who take only a 300 hour course in acupuncture leave out all the Chinese medicine theory and are unable to elicit the chi. Make sure you go to a licensed acupuncturist with at least 3,000 hours of study.

NO ONE HERE NEED FEEL THREATENED. CHI IS NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR YOUR HIGHER POWER!
I HAVE FELT CHI FREQUENTLY AND HAVE BEEN USING ACUPUNCTURE FOR OVER 5 YEARS TO HELP WITH SYMPTOMS AND PROBLEMS WITH PARKINSON’S DISEASE. I ALSO PRACTICE YOGA REGULARLY.
I BELIEVE EASTERN TECHNIQUES HAVE MUCH TO OFFER THAT WESTERN MEDICINE OR MYSELF DO NOT UNDERSTAND. MY NEUROLOGIST FROM MAYO CLINIC IN ROCHESTER MN. SAYS AND I QUOTE ••••••
“WE RECOGNIZE IT’S EFFECTS BUT ADMITTEDLY DON’T UNDERSTAND HOW IT WORKS.” “KEEP IT UP!”

I’m a Christian who has been involved in ministry for 23 years. At first we were told not to touch other beliefs because some people need healing for problems people experience in every faith from time to time.
Many of us however braved much criticism to learn about the healing arts, and to pray as we learnt and practiced what we had learnt. Now there are many ministries that encourage an wholistic view of eastern and western understanding of body mind and spirit. I pray to my Saviour, my higher power, the Holy Spirit, acknowledge the Shekinah flowing through and sit and Relax in the presence of the Father. I have many friends from many faiths and on many sites with them, they all believe the flowing of spirit and love is the key to healing. Good nutrition and modalities such as accupuncture facilitate the process.

I too have been to a acupuncturist for many different things, ranging from high blood pressure to vertebrea in my neck being mis-alligned. I have a cardiologist that is of the asian descent and I asked him what he thought of acupuncture before letting him put me on high blood pressure pills. He informed me that a mixture of eastern & western Medicine are a good thing. Without the use of Modern pills my blood pressure went from the average of 170/100 to 120/70 in a matter of three sessions. I would not tell anyone to give up western medicine completely but do not be negative when eastern medicine comes into play either. What one has to remember is our bodies speak to use and tells us when somehting is wrong, and eastern medicine has been recognizing this for many centuries.

I experienced chi during an acupuncture treatment where my forehead felt as if it opened up and my left arm that had been hurting since October,2008 no longer had pain. The acupuncurist informed me that my chakras were almost blocked and that spirts of energy was only getting through. After two treatments he informed that I could continue coming but he would only be taking my money. That all was well.
I am a Christian, African-American, Reiki Practioner. This is not a title that I let very few know because in the traditional African-American church it is taboo as is Yoga. The idea it presents is that it is satanic. After my recent experience the need/desire has come to go to Sedona, AZ to experience a more awakening. I pray to God my Higher self that this is the right thing to do.

I am a christian and do not believe we should seek help except through JESUS CHRIST. Look what happened to Saul.rqhwyb

Tracy, do you not see alternative medicines as another way God and Jesus have given us to treat our maladies? By your argument, we should not seek any medical care. Just say, “Jesus, take my pain away from me, but I’m not going to do my part.” I had my doubts about all forms of medicine before I got sick. But I found that through prayer and seeking various forms of treatment: Reiki, acupuncture, massage therapy, chiropractics, osteopathy, Western medical doctors of all shapes and sizes, that ultimately, what helped me MOST were the Eastern treatments. You can seek God when on the acupuncture table. You can seek God through meditation. Most of the Western medical doctors I saw, many specialists in my field, told me I was crazy.
As far as the actual topic of this post, I experience my Chi when I am listening to music, frequently music with extremely complex harmonies but very little rhythmic change (like the music of Arvo Part).

I was suffering with anxiety and depression, and the dr. gave me meds, that didn’t help much or made things worse, I have been practicing yoga on a daily basis, going for walks, and just starting to meditate. I am feeling myself again, and I believe this is the way I will stay happy and healthy all my life, also the power of positive thinking helps, if thats chi then I’m feeling it

Good for you! Satan is cunning and manifest himself in many ways. He has the power to decieve, that we may put our faith in something other than the power of Christ and his healing. I am not against doctors or medicine in general; but if one is truly seeking Gods Wisdom and not the worlds, they will uncover the truth of these things and realize they have been mislead.

When I do I Ching readings for others, I advise them to hold the coins in their hands, right up next to their dantien (Dantien refers to the point in the body which is considered to be the storage point for the Chi energy in the body. The Dantien is located in the abdomen three finger widths below and two finger widths behind the navel.)
Then I ask them to visualize that Chi moving, into their hands and through the coins, then up an arm, through their bodies, then down the other arm and through the coins again, until they feel that their Chi energy is moving through the coins. Once they feel that connection with the coins, they proceed with the “tossing” process.
People tell me that with practice and concentration, it soon moves from a purely mental exercise to one that they can physically feel, generally as a tingling sensation.
It helps a great deal in the focusing and opening that is part of the personal divination process.
I have had a number of Tai Chi instructors who were great guides in getting your Chi moving.

I am also a Christian but see nothing wrong with this self healing. I don’t see it as people are worshipping false gods. I see it as a way for people to find the inner strength needed to get through the day and help find inner peace in a crazy world. It sounds like total relaxation.

I cannot believe some of the comments on here!!Come on People, what is wrong with people trying to be the best they can be??? Feel the best they can feel? I myself believe in God. I am an LMT and practice YOGA,have had accupuncture, Chiropractic care and see a holistic MD. I have had much better results with NATURAL forms of “Medicine” than what the drug companies push. I believe its so much easier for some docs to write a script for meds, than it is to really take the time to sit and listen to the patient and try to get to the root of the problem. Remember Medicines started with Plants and roots. Sounds to me like the so called “Bible Thumpers” Need a Massage. China, Japan and even India are so much more advanced in eastern medicine. Heck even parts of Eurpoe have us beat. They are not all Satan worshipers.

I feel I would rather trust Mother Nature (God in view) than to trust mere humans. Humans are so fallible and we come from the earth (nature) so why not trust from where we come? Love;and God is love.

I do this ALL the time! When I am having a “not so good day,” or am very nervous about something (like a doctor’s appointment) I turn on the song called “The Patronus Light” from the Prisoner of Azkaban soundtrack, and I imagine my best memory, and focus on it! I know it’s fictional, but it works!
