Ive heard of different styles of meditation, like the kind where you just sit and chant to yourself, the kind where you do a pose of some sort with or without chanting, where you lay and breathe a certain way, basically all the ones that you can easily find by looking at a meditation website or wikipedia or various books on the subject.
However, I saw a book a while back, cant remember what it was called and the book was already gone when I went back, but it dealt with meditation or Tai Chi but while walking. I dont know how accurate that is, but I couldve sworn it said something like Walking Chi or Walking Meditation. Anyways, I am wondering if anyone has ever heard of that, if so how do I do it.
Also, what other forms are there that focus on meditation, like Tai Chi, Qigong, Yoga, etc., I would like to know all the different styles of it, so I can pick one and go with it. I dont have trouble sitting still or anything, its just I find it easier to think of nothing when I am moving. Anyways, any help would be greatly appreciated, really want to start meditating, just want to find the right style first. By the way, Im not religious in any way, but I did grow up Christian and that is the God I prefer, but Id like to keep religion out of it, I feel its better that way.
Lammon is some sort of chi superman like Glenn Levy. He holds a world record for breaking 3000 pounds of ice with a 3 inch palm strike. He can incapacitate attackers by punching the air near them. AND he can beat 20 guys at once. His chi allows him to do just about anything except fly or turn invisible. But he is some sort of Bible preacher too, and I thought those guys did not fool with chi.
He holds several hihg rank belts in kung fu styles and is 10-red in “wa lu” which is a secret style of which he is the only practitioner. (This is shades of hikuta, the art of killing a bear with a loose fisted punch?)
Anyone know this guy. or know of him? I have been in the arts since 1983 and his is the first I have heard of him!

One of my best friends really wants to start a martial arts class but she’s unsure of which kind to take. She’s like, super nervous ’cause shes real clumsy and sort of weak. She used to box but then she broke her arm and sprained both of her wrists multiple times. She’s also got asthma and well, her parents are iffy about anything physical. I suggested something like oh, i dont know, tai chi or something with weapons but I have no idea what i’m talking about so…
Any suggestions?

I’m sort of getting sick of walking so much and jogging/running. I’m eating healthy though, for the most part, and I try to have 1200-1500 calories a day but there’s a day or two I go a little over.
I’m trying to lose 20 pounds and I’m 5’3″ and 140 pounds. I’m also considering doing 30 minutes of jump roping everyday.
