What is ‘Chi’?

Chi is the Chinese word for ‘life force energy’. We all have chi in greater and lesser degrees, ideally flowing freely through our bodies. This is where the Chi Machine helps by creating chi within the body, experienced as a tingling sensation, an energy rush, a natural ‘high’ or a truly amazing feeling!

 

Origins of Chi Machine

In the early 1950s, Doctor Shizuo Inoue, Chairman of the Japanese Oxygen Health Association wanted to find a way to make the human body more oxygen efficient. Whilst watching the Japanese Koi carp swimming, he noticed their motion and movements. He observed that they were remarkably healthy and well-toned. He theorised that this could be attributed to the perpetual movement of their spine Further research revealed that the hypothesis was correct – replicating the movement of the fish in a human body raised the level of oxygen and chi (energy) resulting in substancial health benefits.

 

How You can benefit from the Chi Machine.

Daily, we consume a chemical cocktail from residues in farm products and processed foods. Water supplies can be contaminated. We suffer from air pollution, badly ventilated rooms, lack of exercise and an excess of highly processed foods and additives – this is compounded by stress and sedentary lifestyle. The side effects of drugs can cause many ailments such as; exhaustion, muscle stiffness, dizziness, aches and pains, numbness, itchiness, inflammation and panic attacks.

The Chi Machine can help to eliminate body toxins and provide the essential benefits of exercise without putting stress on the spinal vertebrae, joints, hearts and lungs and without depleting vital body energy levels or causing injury.

 

Due to its low impact operation, you do not need to be young or fit to derive benefit from the Chi Machine.

People who are wheelchair bound or have restricted movement can gain great benefits from the gentle massaging effect  created by the exerciser and its assistance in the movement of lymphatic fluid in the body.

 

Fifteen minutes on the Chi Machine is equal to 90 minutes of walking in terms of blood oxygenation, whilst internal organs are massaged simultaneously by the gentle movement. It is of great value to those who cannot exercise conventionally due to physical limitations or age.

 

How can you tell if you’re not getting enough oxygen

Check whether any of these statements apply to you:

 

• I wake up tired, even after eight hours sleep
• I have difficulty falling asleep/wake up frequently
• I suffer from chronic fatigue

• I frequently feel stressed
• I suffer from constipation
• I have difficulty breathing
• I have stiffness and pains inmy shoulders/back
• I have weight problems
• I have cardiac symptoms

If you can tick more than three of these statements, your body may not be getting the oxygen it needs.
