Product Description

This video version of Bender's acclaimed Building with the Breath of Life provides an exciting introduction to working with chi or life-force energy in our surroundings. It explores the historical use of chi energy in building and community design in Egyptian, Mayan, Asian, Native American and European cultures.

Information is provided on theoretical concepts from Chinese feng shui, the energetic practices of other cultures, plus contemporary research. Ways to work with chi and intention in design of our surroundings, and examples of successful use of chi-based design in our culture provide what is needed to successfully apply energetics in our personal surroundings and work.

Bender's path breaking work provides vital new perspectives on the role of chi and the sacred in personal, community, and planetary health. It gives new context for our work with chi energy in our bodies; and gives new significance to the in-process acknowledgment of chi by our society. The materials in this new work lay the groundwork for transformation in the way we design, use, and relate to our surroundings.
