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 visual form. Looking upon the mantra charms, diagrams, and symbols stimulates your subconscious mind, triggering subtle, yet deep states of transformation.
Expressions of love
Love is a source of energy. There are many ways to express how much you care and everyone has their own language of love. Love can be expressed with encouraging words, physical affection, appreciation, material gifts, compromise, and of course with attention and care.
Languages of love are established in your subconscious during childhood. People are raised to love in different ways. Consequently, you and your partner may express love differently. When love is expressed but not recognized as loving, you end up with unfulfilled partners. This can develop into resentment and a prolonged sense of loneliness, which can make you vulnerable to a relationship with a third party who has a similar language of love.
Many couples do not realize that it is this difference in expressing love that creates a gap in their relationship. Instead, they think they are just growing apart or do not love each other anymore. The consensus tell us that many people feel unloved, under appreciated, lonely, misunderstood, unsupported, lost, or drained in their relationships. Before victimizing yourself as one of these, take the time and make the effort to understand how to translate your partner’s language of love - especially if you find that it differs from your own.
You and your partner need to communicate about how you were loved in your childhood and what it means for you to love someone. For some, love is being open, honest, and direct, which sometimes means blunt, candid and often amplified expressions of various levels of happiness or displeasure. For others, love is being obedient and letting your partner be in charge. And yet for others, love is to dote upon their partner with physical affections and gifts.
Once you understand each other’s language of love, it requires self-cultivation and grace to know how to embrace love that is different from your own. When you can do this, you will either find out just how very loved you are, or not.
True love
Grandmaster Chi-Jen Liu’s Chi Art, "Lover Phoenix Carries Lotus of Enlightenment" shows a pair of love birds that have merged and become one. In doing so, their united bodies are able to carry the lotus, the flower of enlightenment. When you really love someone, you and that person are no longer separate. Their joy is your joy, the love they feel is the love you feel, the love they receive is the love you receive.
A powerful element to add to the bedroom is positive images that enhance your love bond. The Chi Art in this article is a powerful image of a deep bond between husband and wife. This visual meditation inspires you to imagine you and your spouse as one. Like the abundant forest, stable mountains, and sailboats in the painting, your love will grow, be a fortress of strength and enjoy smooth sailing. It is natural to become one as you sleep together and breathe each other’s breath, realizing a merging of your minds, souls, and bodies and experiencing the power of true, enlightened love.
