Tapping the Energies of the Earth
The density of chi is dramtically higher in the world of nature than the world created by man thus we can understand the statement regarding the much greater ease of performing wall squats beside a mature tree rather than indoors, due to the ambient chi field emanating from the tree and augmenting our own field.
