Surge of Chi Exercisers or Chi Machines, provide a form of passive exercise that allows all ages to enjoy a stimulating workout in the comfort of home. They originated in Japan 15 years ago - where they emerged from the understanding within shiatsu and elsewhere about the value of swinging the feet to create a harmonic response through the torso. Often referred to in the West as 'Chi Machines' - after the original Japanese model found its way to the West under this trade-marked product name - they have a long history, and many fans.
The rhythmic movement generated acts to both release tension in the back and shoulders, and to stimulate respiration and the nervous system, giving a distinct boost of chi energy -while the user lies down and focuses on letting go to the motion and completely relaxing..!
The Japanese realised that benefits occurred at many levels. The concept was recognised as a remedial medical device by the Ministry of Health & Welfare in 1990, and with their health-conscious and busy lifestyles, the Japanese quickly became enthusiasts. This newly found way of exercising became known in Japan as kingyo undo - or 'goldfish exercise' - and its popularity then spread to the Chinese, who realised the strong connection with 'chi' energy.
Available here. Very cool...
