Bagua's Celestial Energy
In "The Power of Internal Martial Arts", B.K. Frantzis distinguishes between 'earthly' and 'celestial' arts. There are two extremely interesting passages in the Bagua chapter of the book;
1. "bagua actively uses the chi of the environment, drawing energy from the earth and sky...bagua people...quite literally draw energy from the planets and stars"
2. "in bagua you do not use reflexes to respond to an attack...you move spontaneously in response not only to the energies of yourself and your opponent, but also to the environmental energies around you"
Without wanting to be seduced by the supernatural, these ideas seem absolutely incredible. Can anyone offer any comments on the validity of these claims, and if so how one might go about drawing this celestial energy. I hope I have not misunderstood what old B.K. is trying to say!
Many thanks!
