Ki Is Inner Power

  What is ki?  In two words, ki is inner power!  The breath of life, the power of the universal life force manifesting in you.

   Later in this chapter I will share with you a story of how one of my students worked to develop his ki power and turned a suicidal life into one filled with joy, radiance, and achievement.  Like my student, you can learn to access and increase your ki power.  But sometimes it shows its power to you before you even know what it is.  Have you heard stories about people who perform amazing feats of strength or endurance, such as a mother who lifts a car off her child trapped underneath?  Or perhaps you've heard of a person who walks several miles on a broken leg to seek help... or a feeble person who suddenly finds the strength to break down a door in a fire... or a person with terminal cancer who suddenly experiences total remission.
   Perhaps you have had a similar experience, where you unconsciously shifted gears and utilized a powerful energy way beyond your ordinary expectations.  You may have marveled afterwards,  "Wow, how did I do that?"  And maybe you were disappointed to find you couldn't do it again so easily.  maybe you decided your performance was just a fluke.
   These instances are usually called "miracles" of one sort or another.  But they are actually evidence of an inner power we all possess!  Ki Power.  Ki ( pronounced key ) is an oriental term for energy.  Ki in its pure originals form is the very life force of the universe, they energy which creates life and sets everything in motion:  they swirling of galaxies, the birth of stars, they hatching of an eagle's egg, the blooming of  flower, the infant growing into an adult...
all these things are evidence of universal ki energy manifesting as life and motion.
