Chi & the TV

When I was a young man in 1988, I worked at the RCA Electronics Service Center here in Kansas City. Although I was the assistant manager in the call center, I would often wander around the large building talking to salespeople, staff, and technicians. One memory from those days has stayed with me.

In the repair shop where technicians worked on TVs and radios, I saw a technician holding an electrified ring about the size of a dinner plate and as thick as a steering wheel. The technician brought the ring up in front of the TV (back then they were large and wide and had cathode ray tubes) and began making slow, overlapping circles in front of the screen which was turned on. This process was mesmerizing. With continuity and circularity, the picture’s many colors would react to the technicians’ graceful movements and energized ring.

The process of “degaussing” uses movement, polarity, circularity, and flow. It recalibrates, realigns, and settles the energy flowing through the TV to ensure that each electron beam hits the corresponding of the correct color. What a wonderful visual representation of how we use movement to recalibrate, realign, and settle Chi within our body-mind organism.

The result of our practice is a heightened awareness of Chi as it flows through all that I am, all that I experience. All on one channel and free of commercials.
