CHI ART is a term coined by Grand Master Chi Jen Liu to describe his special paintings. True to the nomenclature, his paintings are essentially the "art of energy." Grand Master Liu paints them for the sole purpose of creating balance between personal, feng shui, and cosmic dimensions. Chi Art is a meditation expressed in a visual form. Looking upon the mantra charms, diagrams, and symbols stimulates your subconscious mind, triggering subtle, yet deep states of transformation.
The starlight we see in the night sky is actually only the light of a star that may have already ceased to exist. It is residual energy of what was once physically real and true. These energies have traveled light years to reach us, eventually appearing as diamonds of light in the sky. This is similar to the pearls of ancestral wisdom that exist within us as memories that were once physical truths.
I will share with you a message that has traveled from my great grandfather, to my grandfather, to my father, and finally to me. In my father’s words: "the human body is made of the same essence [five elements] and subject to the same natural laws of our universe. Fire energy forms the heart, earth energy forms the stomach, metal energy forms the lungs, wood forms the liver, and water energy forms the kidneys and reproduction system." This primal connection between human beings and nature forms a web by which everything is connected and mutually influenced.
Just as a seed contains the code for becoming a plant that can actively participate in changing its environment, you also contain all of the memories, abilities, and intelligence necessary to heal, evolve, achieve goals, and impact your environment. Your DNA carries the blue print to build your body as well as the memories and knowledge of your ancestors. Your entire body is a message system encoded with the key to unlock the secrets of the universe.
Looking back, our global ancestors did not have modern medicines and tools, yet for thousands of years they healed themselves, built mega structures, and created highly advanced cultures. How have thousands of years of accumulated experience and wisdom been overshadowed by the last sixty years of modern science?
Thankfully, science has finally developed the means to confirm and validate what our ancestors knew. Gregg Braden neatly phrases it in his famous book, The Divine Matrix, "It’s only now, nearly 5000 years after the first of those instructions [from our ancestors who tried to show us how to heal our bodies and breathe life into our deepest desires and dreams] was recorded, that the language of science has rediscovered the very same relationship between the world and us." He further explains that humans have forgotten their innate power to change the universe. Today’s technology is an attempt to accomplish that which we can inherently do for ourselves with our minds and bodies.
In this vein, Chi Art is about reclaiming the archives of knowledge we have within us. The ancient symbols and diagrams are from our ancestors, so when we observe them, whether we understand them or not, they help us recall our true spirit, reminding us how to heal ourselves and reach our goals.
The Chi Art presented in this article is "Opening the Third Eye 2." Two vertical posts with eyes represent a gate, which once you enter, you can see into higher dimensions. They rise from the water, which is associated with the brain. Beyond the gates, four dolphins and a nine-tiered pagoda represent high intelligence and the harmonious workings of the universe. A symbol of longevity, the wise turtle with a human head on its shell illustrates that when the human mind is reflective of nature, it can sustain itself.
Trust yourself to look in the right places and be open to messages. Once you quiet your mind and reconnect with yourself, the bigger picture comes into focus and you can release fear and manifest your life’s purpose.
