Chi, health and jewelry

It took me nearly 21 years to come to the realization that objects surrounding us, especially in contact with us, can have a profound influence on how our body performs.

But! But! One might ask: What does jewelry have to do with body performance, health and Chi (Qi)? It's just fashion and statements.

I guess, we can start by pondering about what Chi (Qi) is. Most people would agree that Chi (Qi) is some sort of energy. Our body has Chi (Qi) and can generate Chi (Qi), as can other living things. So let me pose a few questions: If Chi (Qi) is energy, why shouldn't objects affect this energy? If this energy can be affected by objects, why shouldn't jewelry influence this energy?

We can think of X-rays, radar, microwaves, radio waves, magnets, etc...these are all energies that can interact with other energies. Why can't Chi (Qi) be a part of these energies? Even though we do not have a realiable method to measure Chi (Qi), does it mean it does not exist and it is not essential to us?
