The 7 Chi Keys


Richard Utt, L.Ac., founder of Applied Physiology, refers to the 7 Chi Keys as the Crown Jewel of Applied Physiology. Based on a series of dreams, “the Keys” is a method of balancing the 7 major chakras using the acupuncture system. Later research incorporated the use of the AP Meridian Tuning Forks and crystals as other means of balancing the Keys.
The Keys looks at several different aspects of a chakra that might be out of balance, including the density (concerning the internal structure of the chakra), spin (relating to the movement of the chakra), and projection (relating to how far or little the chakra is projecting relative to the other chakras), as well as the integrity of the individual cones that make up the chakra that might be broken or hooked.

This in depth look at the chakra system quickly became the most utilitized tool in the AP kit bag. Because the chakras are a metaphysical energy system, but tie into the
endocrine (glandular) and nervous systems of the body, they create an integrative bridge between the physical and metaphysical. This acts as a grounding mechanism for much of the balancing that has already occurred during a session, acting as a finishing technique. As well, it stands very well on its own when used as the only balancing technique in a session. It is an immensely powerful tool, and essential to those who have learned and mastered it — which is not a difficult thing to do!

In this 5 day program, the student will be acquainted with the theory and principles of the chakra system. Because of its relationship to the Chinese meridian acupuncture system, considerable time is spent in the class learning the location of the acupuncture points necessary to utilize this tool with proficiency upon completion of the workshop. And of course, all the balancing techniques are covered in depth.

Whether it is used for pain, neurological disorders, emotional issues, or just everyday balancing, the Keys will immediately become a technique that you will use again and again. This is a must have class for any kinesiologist!

Until recently, the 7 Chi Keys used to have a pre-requisite of the Agape Quest. In the summer of 2000, that pre-requisite was lifted, though it is still recommended. However, people with other kinesiology experience in which they have learned to use an indicator muscle and pause lock (or circuit retaining mode) are eligible to take this class. Knowledge of the use of hand modes and Alarm Points is also helpful.


The class is occassionally offered in a 3 day format in which the acupuncture points are not taught. This is mainly for acupuncturists, Chinese medical doctors and other professionals who already have a familiarity with the acupuncture system and the location of acupuncture points.


New!!! At some locations, this workshop is now being offered as a 7 day class for the same price as the 5 day. This allows for further in depth examination of the chakras themselves, including emotional and behavioral characteristics and how to use that information for deeper balancing.
