Cultivating Chi

**Lee Chiang Po** · 12-29-2011, 12:01 AM

I don't believe in 8 types of Qi. Or Chi. Whatever. I think that is just ancient Chinese Mystique. I believe that there is only one kind of Chi, which is the simple energy of the body that gives you life. There are probably at least 8 meridians, or pathways where the chi flows naturally, and these meridians can be blocked by injury or by intentional interference through accupuncture and other manipulations. I can give very good examples of this.
The problem with trying to use Chinese to explain these things is that it is way to general with somewhat broad meanings at times. Especially if Chinese is not your first language.

IMHO.

Reading this thread, I doubt any true development in the field of chi cultivation can be done. The reason is there isn't a Clear and full Comprehensive view on this chi cultivation engineering. It is more a philosophical interpretation here .

So then you don't believe in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine and that's fine.

Well Kirlian photography shows that something like chi exists.

IMHO,

The Chinese has a clear and precise process of cultivate chi. Everything is well define. It is no different then a physical development. One doesn't need kirlian or even biofeedback instrument. Kirlian or biofeedback instrument are mostly tools to pursue the western world. They really doesn't do much, not to mention they are always misunderstood and become mystefy.

Those who really has the qi cultivation is very clear for it. And also knows it is not everything such as qi ball blast projection. But it is certainly another layer of human reality which they can access for their use.
