Fill your life with balance of your INTERAL self

We spend our life do we, on creating an external us thinking we are providing the internal us with everything it needs. NO!
Our purpose is to maintain, nourish, revitalise and prolong our lives. We eat, we think, we breathe and we move.

Without specific things such as proper nutrients, and proper motions (you know what that is!) we become weak.
CHI is an ancient method of thinking, breathing and moving. To revitalise, and the philosophy behind it can be shared to you in exercises for your internal organs. It works in our life force and has been there all the time. 

The internal exercises can heal and energise the internal organs - this is the key to youth, immunity against disease, and true health. It can be done through deceleration, smoothness, quietness, precision, naturalness, and an internal emphasis.

External exercises like football, gymnastics, weight lifting, Yoga and martial arts can produce an attractive outer figure often be depleting the energy of the internal organs, causing a number of illnesses and perhaps premature aging. The fatigue, stress, strain, pain and contortions associated with the external exercises disrupt the delicate internal organs.  Why do they say HOLD IT UNTIL IT HURTS? Think about this really hard...Our internal organs are responsible for the body's regenerative processes and defend us against disease. Over doing external will impair the body's ability to replace worn cells and fight off germs and viruses. The organs do what the muscles cannot do and that is protect us.  Is my mother similar to yours saying that now her hip replacement or knee replacement was a result of too much tennis and squash?  Rugby and concussion - what are they saying these days?
Physical exercise feels great and power walking and some exercises, even Yoga is a benefit. At the same time it does no harm to look at ways to protect your internal organs so that the outer body can live longer, stay in form longer and allow you freedom in all parts of your body to do the things you love.  Those already unable to walk, or overweight, or even a paraplegic who I met recently is able to do so many things to keep the body in shape. 

Internal Exercises are here for you and know that they are a part of a whole for healing and you can use these exercises without committing to the CHI LIFE,  it is not an easy process to believe, to commit and to realise true longevity.   This is just a start to see if you would like to learn more. 

A little Wisdom about a really BIG BENEFIT

The roots of tea can be traced back centuries to Asia, and that also includes Japan and China. Tea leaves were brewed for their versatile virtues, enhancing alertness, pleasure and medicinal remedies. 

Asian dynasties found amazing healing powers in tea which were recognised in many other countries.

Around the 17th century, tea was loved in London by Europeans and royalty, who used tea for both relaxation and medicinal purposes.

Then in the 18th century tea became so popular in America and spread far and wide throughout the states. The tea plant was used to heal the mind, body and spirit.

From then on, the 19th and 20th centuries in all countries took tea on as a permanent beverage and each culture created their own versions for their own reasons using special herbs and tisanes as we call them now to create the calming, or the healing or any reason that we find needed in their old world and in our new world of today.

Here we are in the 21st century, where tea is now widely accepted as a super food using it as a beverage and also infused into our wonderful foods and recipes, in beauty too of course and cleaning products however here with healthyliving4life promoting tea especially for helping to heal the body and to live a longer and much more healthier life.
