As far as getting chi or getting in touch with it, I wouldn't worry about it unless you would like to start studying the Chinese internal arts or homeopathic medicine. Concentrate more on good living and correct martial training and that will benefit you more than chasing chi.
As one of the foremost residential CMA dudes on board, how much do you dabble in 'Chi'?
