Rara Posted December 12, 2014 I was about to post this in another thread that is already well under way but thought it probably warrants a thread of it's own. So I'm curious. What are people's thoughts on "chi/energy necklaces/pendants/bracelets". I see these marketed as "scientifically proven to show they enhance energy levels, keeping you going for longer" I have a view on this, but just wondering what others think.

silent thunder Posted December 12, 2014 This one hums with Qi. It's one of the few that I've encountered and it thrums with energy. They are not readily available. Yeh Ming Zhu, or The Dragon's Pearl, is the only type of flourite known to glow from standard light, not UV. This particular stone has been glowing steadily for three years, under my care. It requires just an hour or so in the sun and then glows for days. My cousin, who also has several pieces, recently moved to Hawaii. She placed her pieces in the moving crate with all their other belongings. She said, after three weeks in the silk in the crate, it was still glowing softly when she opened it. I received mine from a monk who smuggled a dozen or so pieces out of China at some personal risk. The last deposit was found in the late 80's. It's exceedingly rare and since its discovery was not made available to peasants. Only recently have these begun to creep quietly out. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChiDragon Posted December 12, 2014 So I'm curious. What are people's thoughts on "chi/energy necklaces/pendants/bracelets". I see these marketed as "scientifically proven to show they enhance energy levels, keeping you going for longer" Marketed, yes. You were told by the salesperson but where is the scientific proof...??? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rara Posted December 13, 2014 Marketed, yes. You were told by the salesperson but where is the scientific proof...??? Exactly! Isn't "scientifically proven" oxymoronic anyway? Science doesn't prove, it explains processes. So there is all sorts of pseudo-science and word jumbling yet again that confuses the buyer into believing it's got to work. So, materials. My question is, can materials transmit energy into a human by making contact with it? I can see how chemically, tests could show changes in the body from the contact, and therefore brain chemistry. How much is this psychological though? You can get "chi jewellery" for very little money, or A LOT of money. Something seems amiss. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hello What other properties does it have other than glowing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dust Posted December 13, 2014 I have a rudraksha mala. The energetic claims made about rudraksha seem unfounded to me. I've felt nothing from it. Its use as an aid in meditation/breathing is great, and it's very nice to look at, but nothing more funky than that. I'd be very very sceptical of anyone saying "Buy this it'll make your energy grow" No different to "health" companies claiming that their newest supplement will make you lose weight and gain muscle 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sillybearhappyhoneyeater Posted December 14, 2014 if i had to choose any jewelry that i felt really had good energy, I'd buy either some jade, crafted by a very skilled artisan, or a bracelet made from agar wood incense. those things have real qi, but they won't improve your levels of nei dan cultivation, they are just nice objects that feel good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
