you cannot just start "concentrating" on feeling energy. it's just no possible. that is one of the many types of things you would use to train with, but at the same time the best possible way to start down that path is to join a internal art such as taichi or bagua, or ching yi or aikido. you have to have much practice, before you can just sit and concentrate. it's just not possible

Right i see your point.Takes a lot of practice.Chi kung has been very usefull for me but i have no experience of the others.Circulating chi kung and moving chi kung i an practicing

totally forgot to mention that..i knew i had forgotten something when i posted...sorry bout that..but ya chi kung is possibly the best source for getting to understanding chi better, if not thee best source.

not possible..there are however people who are naturals, who can with just a little bit of training who can really start to feel something. that is possible. but just by yourself isn't

I guess I tend to forget sometimes that it's no easy for all. There are many factors that decide how easily you can sense your own chi/energy and how strong it is. Environment, genetics, training, beliefs, and so on. The more open you keep your mind and the more you learn about life and other ways of things, including studying other forms of fighting and such, then the more energy you might be able to unlock and the easier it will be to control it. But it all starts with an open mind. Without that no one can unlock any true potential. Most people say this and that are impossible, instead of saying that, remember that anything is possible, just might be difficult. Hope that helps.

that's the bad thing abotu getting older(one of the many) is that u become so intune to what is real and what isn't possible that u start to believe that many things aren't possible. as a child u think u can do anything. which makes a childs training for productive and useful. so if u want ur kids to become really good. start'e, early

Lol, I guess im a natural then. I have'nt been asking all these questions because I'm simply intruiged by energy. But yea, I have been able to quite literally FEEL a pleasent energy that I can send to any part of my body(feet and hands took a while) since I was 18 or so (I'm 21 now). As well as the pleasent feeling (which I don't use alot anymore, for reasons I'd rather not go into on this post) I can use sensation all over my body. It can be used in a whole body kinetic sense or a sweeping scanning thing that I can control an send to anywhere on my body at will. The scanning thing is good for finding injurys. The pleasent thing concentrated on an injury makes it hurt more (but it heals fast). But this has all been from self experimentation. I'm not sure where I would go to train this sorta thing now because if my level of skill is as rare as you say, I'm sure I would be taken advantage of or resented for being able to "feel". I think babys an children have an instinctive sense of the energys around them. They always stare at me or laugh when I concentrate the good feeling stuff in myself(babys in particular). If there was a way to verbally desrcibe this feeling it would be a mix between a full body stretch yawn and love. So Megawolf, have you just been making logical observations an assumtions or do you know more than you let on? Anyways, if you could say somthing related to anything I just rambled about please do.

hmm ur a natural. so was i. at least from the begining i couldn't tell what was going on and i was really frieked out. my sifu then told me and i was like im gonna be fine then right?..im not gonnna die?.he started laughing. with me, my specialty is moving it around to where i want it to be,which seems to be the case with ur self. unfortunately i can't do weapons for squat. i understand the concept of having the weapon being an extension of your body but just can't grasp it fully yet. but ya me and u have the same thing going. it's very cool. tell me something, have u started seeing anything yet? i mean actually seeing the energy?. and like how different peoples have different colours? it's a very cool thing. it's actually pointless to be able to see it but it is interesting. alot of people do have this abilite such as my sifu and his sifu and other students in the class. i think the word he used was aura, and that was chi prjecting outside the body. but it's very cool nonetheless. u will also notice that if ur a relatively decent person that doing what u were calling "concentrating on the energy" that animals will become more friendly...that's another cool thing. at least that's what happens with me. my sifu says different things happen with different people. mine is animals becoming nicer, and maybe if nothing happens with animals it's because it's doing it with the kids instead. could be something to look into
