The second Treasure is chi (qi). Chi can be thought of as basic life force. Other terms would be prana, orenda, or vital energy. It is what animates us, what gives us life. It warms us, keeps our organs in place and directs all our movements. There are different kinds of chi, including organ chi, and protective, or wei chi. The Chinese, even today, refer to the weather as a kind of chi.
One of the more familiar types of chi, at least for those of us who have experienced acupuncture, is meridian chi. This type of chi travels throughout our body in specific pathways or meridians, linking organs to each other. This is what acupuncturists tap into when they insert needles.
We get chi from the air we breathe, the food we eat and the water we drink. This is why it is so important to eat fresh, healthy food. Poor eating habits—eating too many processed foods with little chi in them will, in turn, produce poor chi in our bodies.
By understanding that all things in the universe are just different expressions of chi, one can see why the sages have always said, “All things are one, and the one is all things.”

Inner Illumination
The basic idea here is that a normal human being is like a 60 watt light bulb. For an enlightened human being, the frequency of the energy of the body has been greatly increased, so it's as if the person has been turned into a 300 watt light bulb. There is a tremendous amount of energy stored within the pre-birth energy body system. The starting point of the body in particular contains a vast reservoir of stored energy that can be released by correct practice, including breathing exercises, specific meditation movements, special diet, acupuncture, and herbs. The concept is based on recreating the breathing pattern that you had when you were inside your mother, with the goal of recreating conception within yourself, which is the union of yin and yang. That results in inner illumination, where you are using the starting point of the body to fully activate the brain and to open the third eye, or mind's eye, and in turn unites the individual mind with the mind of the universe - that's the realization of the Tao, or shen-ming, which is inner illumination.
