A basic belief of Daoist teachings is one of the universal energy of chi,
the all-encompassing, life-giving force inside of us. The flow of chi is
considered an essential element of life's continuum. It is this constant ebb
and flow of chi that mandates the welfare of an individual. One who has
cultivated positive chi will free themselves from negativity and their mind
will be light as a feather. One who has cultivated negative chi will feel as
those they are carrying a sack full of heavy stones around with them. Drop the
negativity and you drop the stones. One must empower themselves and stop
thinking of themselves as a victim. Make things happen, don’t let them happen
to you.
