Sunshine Chi Machine
“Oxygenation through Movement”
Just 10 to 30 minutes a day with the Sunshine Chi Machine can help improve blood circulation and digestion, increase energy, clear the lymphatic system, align the spine, and enhance oxygen absorption. It also gently exercises your joints and muscles — all while you simply lie down and relax.
To use it, lie on the floor and rest your ankles in the cradle. Set the timer and speed on the remote, close your eyes, breathe deeply, and think peaceful thoughts. The gentle “fish-tail” movement of the machine relaxes your body and allows the Chi Machine to do its work, delivering a deeply calming and restorative experience.
How the Sunshine Chi Machine Works
The wave-like motion of the Chi Machine moves your body from side to side, creating a gentle flow from your feet to your head. This stimulates and relaxes the sympathetic nervous system while encouraging the bronchi and alveoli in the lungs to expand. As they do, oxygen transfers more efficiently into the bloodstream, nourishing every cell in your body.
Oxygen is the foundation of life — and the more efficiently it’s circulated, the healthier and more balanced your body becomes.

What Is ‘Chi’?
In Eastern traditions, Chi (or Qi) is the life force that circulates through the body, providing nourishment, vitality, and well-being. It flows through meridians (energy channels) and is essential to health. A deficiency in Chi may result from poor sleep, diet, lack of fresh air or water, and emotional disconnection. Strengthening and balancing your Chi helps you feel more alive and whole.
History of the Chi Machine
The original Chi Machine was invented in Japan by engineer Keiichi Ohashi and patented in 1990. Since its creation, the device has gained global recognition and is even used in some Australian hospitals for managing lymphoedema (blocked lymph vessels).
The Sunshine Chi Machine blends this traditional energy wisdom with modern design, bringing together principles of acupressure, qigong, yoga, and meditation to restore your natural balance.
A Personal Journey
My journey with the Chi Machine began 30 years ago. At the time, I was a stressed business owner recovering from a motorcycle accident, with lower back issues and a damaged knee. The Chi Machine changed everything for me — I’ve used it ever since.
Today, I incorporate it into my yoga practice, using it to boost my energy and quiet my mind. Sometimes I simply lie down and listen to meditations, music, or podcasts while the machine works its magic. It’s my sacred daily ritual — one I’ve passed on to my children and now my grandchildren.
That’s why I sell the Sunshine Chi Machine. I believe deeply in its power and want others to benefit as I have. The most important advice I can give? Keep it visible. Don’t hide it in a cupboard. Let it be a daily reminder to reconnect with your energy and peace.
Warmest regards,
Lyn Thomas
