My prevailing impression is that the “solid” world of the senses amounts to a virtual, but somehow shared, existence that only seems real because each of us has no other baseline with which to compare it. What is really real seems to lie beyond our present capabilities of apprehension — except perhaps via meditation. (While this stance encourages a less distressed perspective upon world events, it offers little in the way of satisfying the quest for a solid “floor” upon which a life can be reliably structured.)
I have a martial arts instructor and he has performed some stuff which he says is chi energy. He was amrtial artists for like ever since he was 10 years old and hes like 50 something. He says that ki energy is real and he says that the key to this type of energy is that you must discover the rest of the parts of your body with your mind through feel. He moved his ears and stuff, he buldged out his vains with his hands upward infront of me and he even had tons of people try to bend his arm down and they couldn’t. he says that the mind is the key to acheiving that power and i havnt hint that it has to do with nervous system. he even performed a kung akung fu grip on two of my friends on there forearm and he is very skinny, had them crying. But i also heard from other sources that with chi or ki that you can heal illness. if this is true can i develop chi too correct my senses, particularly my sight. Can martial arts training actually enhance my sight back to norm and maybe even better?
He also did a thing where he had to hold a girls arm and relax, concentrate, close her eyes and after a while she would see a blue flame . she couldnt she said and he said it was because he was too tense. But then another person tried and she said she saw it.
srry i deleted a part of a sentence. he says a key to achieveing the power is that you have to discover and explore the rest of the parts of your body by feeling them in your mind. So i was assuming he meant the nervous system.
I was wondering if anyone could help me with some good practices to introduce me to and prepare me for shamanic practise. Things that could help me open up to my unconsciouss senses, feel and control energy, and that sort of thing. Right now i practice hatha yoga and Chi Kung/Qi gong.
