I'm going to refer to chi as ki - that's just my Japanese preference.
The reason you're having problems keeping it in, is that ki is always in motion. Trapping it in such a way is then incompatible with the essential aspect of ki.
Rather than worrying about the edges of your ki, worry about the centre of your ki. As long as you have a nice clean, strong centre, your ki will float out, and around and come back.
As a psi-vampire, I can tell you that ki is always floating everywhere. It cycles, it whorls, it floats hither and thither. It is, essentially a part of your aura - so of course it's going to float out and away. As long as you have your centre well balanced, it will act like a gravitic core for your ki to whorl around. Think of the rings of Jupiter and Saturn - same thing. The stronger your centre, the stronger your aura, the more ki will stay in orbit of it.
As to keeping it in a "solid" aspect in your hand, same thing - I'm assuming you're trying ki balling. Focus a ki centre, and the ki will whorl around it in a sphere.

The value of an individual is not numerically assignable. Given the individual's infinite capacity to affect change (for better or for worse), it follows that their value is just as infinite. Logically then, not only are all individuals of equal value, but all possible combinations and groupings of individuals are of equal value, and finally, no matter an individual's past actions, their capacity to affect positive change is not diminished.
The value of the individual is sacrosanct, but actions must be directed in an effort to affect positive change.
