Why I chose the name Chi9ful

People often ask why I chose the name Chi9ful.
It’s a small word with a big meaning.

Chi represents life energy — the quiet force that moves through us, strengthens us, awakens us.
For much of my life, my chi was dimmed. I had lost connection to myself, my strength, and my inner voice.

The 9 is a powerful number in nature and in numerology.
Nikola Tesla spoke about the energy of 3, 6, and 9 — the numbers of creation, power, and alignment.
For me personally, multiples of three have always signaled transformation.
Nine represents the moment something completes so something new can begin.

And –ful means full of, overflowing with.

So Chi9ful is not just a name.
It is a declaration of who I am becoming:
Full of energy.
Full of resilience.
Full of possibility.
Full of life.

My Camino taught me to trust the long journey — the inner one, not just the one measured in miles.
Chi9ful is my reminder that healing is not an event; it is a practice, a returning, a choosing.

Step by step, I am learning to be Chi9ful.
