On November 8, I drove across Washington State to Seattle, and had opportunity to observe the spread of sheng qi in the surface of the earth along the way. The sky above the route had now been entirely covered by the sheng canopy for several years, and the effect along the route seemed to be rather uniform.

          The trees still seemed to be the major conduit of the sheng qi from the sky into the ground. The sheng qi entered the tip of the tree’s most prominent branch, usually the one most centrally located and tending to be vertical, and flowed down through the trunk into the ground.
          But this was not the sole path of the sheng qi into the ground, for there was a thin layer throughout the surface of the earth, even where there were no trees.
          The sheng qi was also present in living plants. Here is a very partial list, written in descending order of strength:
  1. leaves or needles in trees;
  2. green foliage on bushes;
  3. green leaves of grass;
  4. living wood in trees.

          The earth just under asphalt and concrete roads was more positive than the roads themselves.
          In a pond or small lake, the earth just below the water, was much more positive than the water itself.
