The early Shamans in China believed there was a force in the universe, in nature, and within them. By cultivating the force within (qi or ch’i) through various exercises, movements, special diets and herbs, breathing exercises, and meditation (altered states), they believed they could enhance their life force and be healthier and live longer. Some ...
Chi/qi has parallels to prana (the divine breath of the cosmos in Hindu thinking) in India. Prana is an energy “upon which all things depend for health and life,” (Guiley, 626). Known generally as the “universal life force,” this energy is also known as “bioenergy,” (Ibid, 629-30), “vital energy,” “vital force,” or, most commonly in the United Stat...
Universal life energy, chi/qi and prana are also linked in many cultures to supernormal powers and sorcery. Tantra yoga allegedly cultivates the flow of prana in order to raise psychic powers, and prana is the source for exploits in Hindu magic (Guiley, 627). In alchemy, this universal force is called spiritus; the occult Kabbalah (Qabala) terms it...
Some have tried to validate qi or chi as the breath of God. The Bible tells us that God breathed life into man (Genesis 2:7; Job 27:3), that all living creatures have the “breath of life” (Genesis 1:30, 2:7, 6:17, 7:22; Psalm 104:29), and that God’s breath caused the universe (Job 33:4, 37:10; Psalm 33:6), but this breath is not a force or energy. ...
Jesus did not heal by channeling a universal energy or qi, but was acting with the power of God. As Acts 10:38says, “God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. He went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.” The power of God was not coming through a technique or secret teac...
By definition, a force or energy has unknown attributes and is blind to human need. How can a force show compassion, or bring healing, peace, or harmony? To do so would require an intelligence exercising will and choice, traits lacking in an impersonal force. How does one reconcile belief in an impersonal force with the belief in bad chi and good c...

Mar 27, 2024 · Christianity stresses the doctrines of Jesus Christ, His saving love, and people’s relationship with God. Some Christians might explore energy healing and chakras from their perspective during worship, but it could be quite different because it is a personal reading of the faith.
Jun 21, 2024 · Christians seek spiritual growth through the Holy Spirit, prayer, and scripture, rather than manipulating vibrational frequencies. As 1 Thessalonians 5:21 advises, "Test everything; hold fast what is good," we must thoughtfully examine the ideas we integrate into our lives.
Jan 4, 2022 · Getting involved in energy healing is spiritually dangerous, to say the least. The Bible tells us that Jesus is the One who came to heal. “Then Jesus said, 'Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest'” (Matthew 11:28). God does not want or expect us to help ourselves.
