In a book on chi kung, I read that everyone is born with a certain amount of energy that comes from the parents. This energy does not increase, but it can be used up and when it is all gone the person dies. Chi kung teaches ways of pulling in more energy so that this energy which comes from food, water, breathing, other people, the planet, and so on can be used instead of that core energy. The core energy (maybe it was called "prenatal chi"?) was compared with money. Some kids are born into very wealthy families and can spend large quantities of money without thinking about it. Others have to work harder to buy basic supplies. It is the same with energy. Some people are born with larger quantities of energy and can easily do things that most people will have to work a lot harder to accomplish. I'm more from an energetic middle class in that I don't get sick very often and injuries heal fairly quickly. Even so, learning astral projection and other abilities requires a lot of work for me. A friend of mine whom I keep mentioning has more energy and from it more aptitude than me for energy work. Regardless of how much energy a person is born with, it is said that it is still possible with the right training to become an immortal and that energy development is of vital importance to everyone. In these forums the method of choice seems to be the NEW system. I use reiki primarily. Within several months it gave me much more energy than my more advanced friend had at the time. Of course, now that we both know and teach reiki he has easily gotten better than me again. He is much more skilled at feeling energy and knowing things about people through their energy than I am. As long as we both continue to put in comparable amounts of effort, he will always continue to be better than me. This is to my advantage, though. When I need help I can ask him but he has no one better than himself to turn to.
