Interview with Chi-Full Team

Published 2020-01-02.
When did you start writing your first book?
In 2017, we started writing our first book. It was after a long period of studying and practicing different ancient teachings from the East and comparing them to the Western practices for well-being and health. Of course, we had our personal reasons for starting our inquiries into this subject, it was our personal and individual journey and at a certain point everything seemed to make sense and become clear. Finally, we decided to put our strengths together to share what we found with other people to help them shift their understanding and perception to get the best out of this life.
What do you want to share through your books?
We want to bring a different perception about life, to help people become more conscious about the things that are important to living a peaceful and joyful life in well-being and health. At Chi-Full we call that 'In Good Chi'. Our books are part of an education Center for Well being and Healthy living, where we present different topics for self-help and online-studies. People can join in at any stage of life and start at the subjects they are attracted to at this moment. They will find subjects concerning balance and harmony in body-mind-spirit, we have brought the teachings from the East together although we present a lot of information from Daoism. The reason for that is that we do not see Daoism as a religion, but teaching with close connection to Nature and Cosmos itself. This does not put devotion to another thing or person but just works from the Universal Intelligence itself. It makes people conscious of their individual inner natural being, they gradually will become aware of being Awareness itself.
What can Chi-Full do for me?
Healthy living starts with a healthy lifestyle, comprising body, mind, and spirit. We could say that this is a trinity, but in fact if those 3 are well-balanced we may call it a whole. There are various components in everyday life, which may cause disruption and/or distortion in our personal lives. Every person has its unique qualities and therefore faces its own unique challenges. What seems heavy for one person, may seem light for another.
No matter what happens in life, it is the individual that has to cope with itself and has to learn and to deal with all the challenge’s life is bringing.
Chi-Full is offering support and advice for people to become healthy, by sharing insights and methods to make lifestyle changes that help to regain balance and harmony in personal life. We are working complementary to professional health practice, reconnecting people to their natural and organic being. This means that if you are being in treatment for health issues, you still can work on your personal lifestyle from the field of food, everyday life struggles, environmental issues, mental-emotional issues and spiritual insights about life itself.
This is why we offer people growth and development through education, without being health practitioners because we are balancing the facets of life itself. Health practitioners do their job by problem-solving and curing a diversity of symptoms and diseases. Chi-Full presents insights into how a change of lifestyle can help you take control of yourself (your life) and start healing within many aspects of life.
Healing starts with understanding, becoming more conscious about yourself, your body, your mind, your spirit. Showing you the relation between your inner world (feeling and sensing) and the outside world (things happening and you're responding to that). There is a continuous dynamic going on, where you individually can work with to become in balance and harmony (Good Chi). Chi-Full can help you to unlock the peace and strength already within you.
If your understanding grows, you will start to feel what your individual issues are that need to be addressed to become In Good Chi and to keep yourself in alignment with that flow. What it asks from you, is to bring your focus and attention to what you wish to accomplish. You set your goal and start heading in that direction, it becomes your everyday mission, and you keep heading that way. You are allowed to choose what suits best to Your development in all areas of life. If you allow yourself to follow your inner guidance you will be able to get the best out of life and live your life purpose. In the end you will be happy you took the time to learn so much about yourself.
The only commitment it asks from you is the commitment to yourself (the willingness to move boundaries by starting to look differently at life itself).
Chi-Full offers the platform to do this, to move through the topics we present here no matter what 'level' of the understanding you behold. It may seem strange, but we all share mankind-experiences and could be supportive of each other to growth, well-being, and health.
You are welcome to tap into the things we present here, which is our gift to humanity as a whole. If you like to know more, feel free to contact us at chifull.eu@outlook.com (or keep following us at our website).
Is writing your main purpose?
We started writing together with the start of our website, which recently turned into a Center for Well being and Health and still is growing depending on the questions arising publicly. We have committed ourselves to fulfill a need in this time, to present the results of our studies and experiences to others. We are certainly working on new materials because we have a lot more to share. But everything comes at its timing. We are working at our Center, helping people and writing books simultaneously.
What's the story behind your latest book?
At a certain point in our inquiry, it became obvious that there are many objects being discussed in philosophy and science, but that they all share the same background. In our book 'Wu Wei versus Awareness' we are connecting the dots between the different teachings that are available on the planet right now. But we are also encouraging our readers to move beyond that, for their understanding about life itself. We see many people looking for answers in this time, for those we made this guidance presented in this book. It is suitable for intuitive people and analytical people as well. The aim is to shift Consciousness and when people read our books they will very well understand why we wrote the books in the first place. Raising consciousness and understanding is an individual thing, nobody can do this for you but you!
What is the greatest joy of writing for you?
The greatest joy of writing is that we know that people will benefit from the things we share in our books, we are feeling very pleasant in the field of a holistic approach and the practices we present in our books are very helpful for us as well. We practice what we preach, so to speak.
How has Smashwords contributed to your success?
Smashwords is known to be very helpful in this time for authors of self-published books. Because our books are mostly covering a wide range of subjects, we are not working in just one area of life but in all aspects. That makes it a little difficult to manage our books, however Smashwords is working very well for Chi-Full right now. They have taken a lot of work from us, which keeps us In Good Chi!
What do your fans mean to you?
In our field we can not speak about fans, we are working for human purposes as a whole. We would rather speak of a community of happy people, enjoying this life for the fullest because they are feeling pleasant inside themselves no matter what life throws at them. We are all encountering the same sort of issues in life, so why not cope with them on a pleasant way. Only time will tell what life presents us.
What are you working on next?
We are working on a book about well-being and health, which is a self-help guide covering different topics. Meanwhile, we are present at our website, where we just finished a Sage Page for people that want to delve into different topics in their timing. People who feel drawn to what we present in our books and on our website will keep going and growing with us.

Everything is about growing understanding, Consciousness, leading to becoming aware of being aware.

From that comes Well being and Health, which is our inner nature.
Who are your favorite authors?
We have read many books, from ancient masters of the East and masters in the West. We could present an endless list here, but that is not necessary because life will bring books to you that is meant for you at this moment. Follow your inner guidance.
What inspires you to get out of bed each day?
The fact that life itself is miraculous, it is a sum of parts dancing together...so enjoy life! Every stage of life has its qualities and challenges, we live and experience them.
When you're not writing, how do you spend your time?
We spend much of our time in Nature, enjoying the simple things in life, like walking or biking. Or better say... Being and experiencing life in the present moment. We are practicing daily as well, our focus is on well-being and health and living a joyful and stress free life.
