To analyse or not?
I have started doing Chi Kung and I have noticed that with everything, the postures etc. I have got a lot of questions.
Why does this posture encourage chi flow etc, what is it that ACTUALLY gets it flowing?
When we say it builds Chi, how does a posture build chi, really?
Do you think this is becuase we are approaching something not of our culture with a Western scientific, analytical mind?
Is it something to be analysed? I read on a thread the other day that if you asked an old Chinese master some of these questions he would shrug and say "don't know". Just practice, and you will feel it in time. When you do, you don't ask any more questions.
Which approach do you take?
