Tithing....and chi

I happened to read this just before Sihing Prince posted about her gift, and it twigged that I should write about it. In kungfu we talk about chi, releasing it, moving it, feeling it. Here is another look at energy..in a different form.
"Understanding how tithing works metaphysically helps skeptics become more open to the ways in which its practice can enrich our lives. Spiritual law, no matter which path, tells us as we give, so shall we receive. We realize that money is a form of energy. Energy does not increase if it's hoarded. Energy must circulate freely for power to be released. When we receive an increase of money in our lives, giving away a portion of that money keeps the channels of abundance circulating freely, as Spirit intended.
On a practical level, tithing allows us to express our thanksgiving with action. Returning some of the material good we receive is a tangible demonstration of trust. But also, tithing changes our attitudes about money. We become expectant, anticipating the best.
Some people say if yo don't have much money to spare, its just as good to tithe your time or goods. Its been my discovery that when I tithe time, I receive more time. When I tithe goods, I receive gifts."
Master Brinker has always encouraged us to give, to take our kung fu out of the kwoon; its interesting to think of our chi, our energy, doesnt decrease when we give of our time, money and things....rather it releases power, just like a kick or punch, only in a positive way. So everytime we give, we release energy for good! Makes the idea of tithing much more appealing when I think of it like that....can I afford NOT to?
