I've been interested in spiritual energy for a long time and I've begun checking it out, and I found this place. I wonder if anyone here could tell me more about different kinds of bodily and spiritual energy, and what developing it can lead to.

Nice touch of sarcasm at the end. My personal experience with energy in all of its forms, not just ki, is that; It really IS more empowering to both physically exersice,and maintain a healthy strong body, as well as it is to train your energy, into developing, strengthening and refineing it.

If a person goes to the gym and works out, or just works out, or takes martial arts, or whatever it is that works on the body... it doesnt mean that the person has a more developed energy signal, so to say... Nor does haveing a strong energy level, mean that a person is automatically a canidate for the 'Muscles-R-Us' club. But if a person works on BOTH aspects of thier lives, in moderation [ or excess ], that seems to trigger some sort of heightened effectiveness in both areas of noteing.

But to those who develope themselves in one OR the other, I've also noticed that with introduction and progressive growth in the other subject in thought, aswell as the original training, growth in both areas tend to progress faster aswell.

[need-less to say, Not much can be positively gained, if a neg or some other influence is hampering or negateing any growth in the first place. BUT if both aspects of a persons life, physically/spiritually, aswell as mental health, are worked on, in a positive manner, almost Any negative influence on a person can be worn away at, and gotten rid of, after a long enough period of time; thus letting all of the training to take more effect for the better]

Yes I have read the trilogy. In fact, I own all three books in paperback. They're really good. I personally think that they are a demonstration of Phillip Pullman's own personal theory on other dimensions, worlds, etc.

"I don't entirely get what you mean by Astral Projection. Is it where you simply imagine things happening exactly behind your eyelids? So much that you make a world in your head with rules and so it seems vivid?"

no

"Or is it getting into a trance until you actually leave this world and cannot simply move your physical body anymore until you return."

yes. you can move your body any time, and that will make you return immediately

"Is it a world where you can meet other people or is it all just part of your own dream?"

both

Dont ask for "most people" to answer on this site. We should have higher than average visualization ability here.
