A vast amount of training is required in being able to recognise 先天之炁 'Intrinsic' qi. (note the beauty of the character, Void + Fire, NO fire = Cessation of desire, in the prenatal state we have no knowledge of the world and no misconceptions and no illusion and no desire).
炁 Is different from the other(s). It is mental/conscious in nature. The concept of XianTianQi is not always reconcilable with TCM. In the past there were many doctors but few Neigong masters.
A vast amount of Neigong training is awareness of 炁. Awareness can only become stronger, not weaker.
