Zen Chi

Introduction

Highly recommended by practitioners as a powerful - yet easy to use - health maintenance tool. Kinetic energy is transferred through the body via movement of the ankles, replicating ancient pulsing techniques; the sacrum is gently rocked as a wave movement oscillates to the cervical area releasing gravitational pressure and daily stresses that are placed on the body. The Zen Chi is used successfully in Australian hospitals to treat Lymph oedema and an array of testimonies recommends the Zen Chi for alleviating the effects of painful ailments. The Zen Chi can be used to relax muscles prior to treatments and is fantastic in aiding sciatic release and restoring the body's equilibrium. The Zen Chi's non-impact, no effort, chi stimulating exercise routine must be experienced!

Time Out

In our busy schedules, taking time out is crucial in order to maintain health and energy levels. Whether it is exercise, meditation or simply eating correctly, we must do something. Time restraints often make these routines difficult to adhere to; ZEN CHI is able to solve this difficulty. All it takes is fifteen minutes morning and night to gain the recommended thirty minutes of daily exercise; any additional form of exercise is an extra-added bonus!

It's All In The Name

ZEN is derived from the Chinese word 'CHAN', meaning MEDITATION, arriving from China to Japan in the 12th Century. Before then an Indian missionary, Bodhidharma in 520 AD, brought it to China. This philosophy teaches the attainment of enlightenment through meditation and intuition rather than through the study of scriptures. CHI is also Chinese, it relates to life force energy, in Japan it is called 'KI' and in Africa 'Raw', every culture has a description for this energy and together with oxygen it is that which keeps everything alive. When mastered, chi perception is a powerful tool.

Westerners are now recognising the Eastern theories related to Chi (body energy) as it is seen in the East to be the key to a healthy, balanced lifestyle. It is noted that this energy flows through channels in all living entities. Acupressure and other forms of massage as well as routines such as Tai Chi, Yoga and meditation are recognised in the East as practices that are able to balance and invigorate the flow of Chi, and can restore an equal flow of Chi, in turn balancing the whole body.

Unlike acupressure and direct massage that work on the meridian points (energy junctions) directly to trigger nerve impulses and free up the flow, Zen Chi sends a movement through the entire body giving a sensation of well being.
