Guest guest Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Sat Nam Linda, Gosh, I hope you're the only one who came away with the " assumption " that I raise Chi electronically! (hee heee) To clarify, the Chi Machine is not an electronic device and it's not really marketed as raising Chi, even though it is called a " Chi Machine " . It is actually marketed as an " aerobic exerciser " , and one friend of mine said he did lose a lot of weight when I lent him mine for 3 months (quite a claim, huh?). All I know is it feels good and relaxes me into a place where I am more aligned, energetically streamlined and not all in my own way...... and in that respect, it actually does " raise " , or promote Chi, or Prana, because what we are actually doing when we are doing yoga is simply removing the physical/mental blocks and creating an openness to the life force within and around us. In so doing, Chi or Prana just " happens " . That's what the Eighth body is about. It's accurate what Awtar Singh is saying about fatigue being due to " negativity " . The Chi Machine is designed to reproduce one of the techniques used in the (Taoist) Trager Approach of focusing on effortless movement. It's about a shift in attitude from effort to ease as an approach to life. It is effortless relaxation, as is Gong Therapy. That's what special to me about it. I suppose I could hire a someone to perform Tragers on me but that could be pretty expensive and they'd have to be there whenever the need arose. It's something to be experienced. More info and a look at the Chi Machine at http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?from=R40 & satitle=sun+ancon & category0= You can find hardly used ones sometimes below $300. The Trager Approach The Trager Approach is a form of movement re-education consisting of a series of gentle, passive movements, along with rotation and traction of limbs so as to relieve muscular tightness without pain. A Chicago physician, Milton Trager, developed the system in the early 1900's to help polio victims and others with similar afflictions. Those with neuromuscular constrictures have noticeable pain relief in just one session. Certification is obtained after a six-month program at the Trager Institute in Mill Valley, California (CTP - Certified Trager Practitioner), followed by continuing education courses and membership renewal. Various health care professionals incorporate The Trager Approach into their practices. Reducing the noise to signal ratio. Sat Nam, Dharam Singh P.S.
