The Wei Qi Fields: Auras of Protective Energy
All living bodies generate an external field of energy called Wei Qi, which translates as “protective energy.”…These energetic fields originate from each of the internal organs and radiate outside the body through the external tissues…The Wei Qi fields completely surround and protect the body’s tissues from the external invasion of pathogens while constantly communicating and interacting with the subtle universal and environmental energetic fields.
The body’s protective Wei Qi fields are sustained by the core reservoirs of energy called the Dan Tians.
- Lower Dan Tian: sustains the power of the first Wei Qi field
- Middle Dan Tian: sustains the power of the second Wei Qi field
- Upper Dan Tian: sustains the power of the third Wei Qi field
The Wei Qi fields can be strengthened with a healthy diet, hydration, clean air, proper sleep, prayer and meditation. They are weakened by a poor diet, dehydration, polluted air, lack of sleep, and forsaking prayer and meditation.
The Wei Qi fields can also be fortified via the visualization of specific colors, lights and sounds. They are negatively impacted by the suppressed emotions, emotional and / or physical trauma, extreme environmental conditions (eg cold, heat, dry, wet).
Any negative interchange affects the Wei Qi by literally creating holes within the matrix of the individual’s external energetic fields. Without proper attention, these holes leave the body vulnerable to invasion, and disease can begin to take root. Strong emotions, in the form of toxic energy, become trapped within the body’s tissues when one suppresses or does not integrate feelings. These unprocessed emotions block the natural flow of Qi, thus creating stagnant pools of toxic energy within the body.
