4 Life Decisions That Helped Me Align Better With My Chi
Your Chi, in Igbo spirituality, is the guiding force that connects you to your purpose. Aligning with your Chi is a continuous journey of making intentional life decisions that honor your higher self. Here are four decisions that transformed my relationship with my Chi and brought me into deeper alignment with my purpose.
Making Time for Spiritual Practices and Spending Time in Nature: One of the most impactful decisions I made was to set aside time every week to connect with my spiritual practices. I do this through meditation, veneration rituals, or offerings amongst other things, dedicating this time allows me to reconnect with my higher self regularly and tap into divine energy.
I also began to spend more time in nature. Walking barefoot on the earth, going to the beach, sitting under the morning sun, or simply observing the cycles of life helps me ground my energy and recalibrate. Nature, after all, is one of the purest channels for connecting to universal truths.
Since creating this space regularly, I noticed my intuition sharpen, my spirit feel lighter, and my Chi become more accessible.
Consciously Expressing Gratitude: Gratitude goes beyond saying “thank you.” It’s a practice of consciously acknowledging the blessings in your life, both big and small. I began to make gratitude part of my daily routine, writing down things I was thankful for or saying a silent prayer of thanks before meals or as soon as I wake up.
This simple practice opened my heart and shifted my perspective. Gratitude strengthened my bond with my Chi because it reminded me of how guided and supported I truly am. When you show appreciation, the universe—and your Chi—responds by amplifying those blessings.
Practicing Conscious Breathing: Breathing is life, but I had never realized its full potential until I began to practice conscious breathing. Taking time each day to focus on my breath has helped me find a gateway to meditation, mindfulness, and inner peace.
Simple techniques like the Agwu Kunei method I use has transformed my energy. Breathing consciously not only revitalizes my Chi but also helps me manage stress and stay present.
Breathwork became a tool for self-healing, providing clarity in moments of confusion and stability in times of emotional turbulence.
Ensuring That My Work Aligns With My Destiny: The most challenging but rewarding decision was to evaluate whether my work and actions were aligned with my destiny. In Igbo spirituality, your Chi carries your purpose, and straying too far from it leads to disconnection and dissatisfaction.
I began to ask myself: Does this path serve my highest good? Does it honor the gifts my Chi has entrusted me with? If the answer was no, I made adjustments—no matter how difficult they were.
Living in alignment with my destiny has brought a sense of fulfillment I never imagined. My work feels meaningful, and I wake up each day with a sense of purpose.
Final Thoughts: Aligning With Your Chi Is a Journey
These four decisions—dedicating time for spiritual practice, expressing gratitude, practicing conscious breathing, and aligning my work with my destiny—helped me strengthen my relationship with my Chi.
If you’re looking to realign with your divine essence, start small. Even the simplest changes can create a ripple effect in your life. Honor your Chi, and watch how it transforms every aspect of your being.
