I suggest you get a new master who doesn't watch too much DragonBallZ. It's a little silly to think that you can measure the skill, power, and effects of every person's Ki with just one number.

Or was it just some random guy over the Internet? If it was, he's probably trying to sell you Ki lotion or something crazy like that...[|)]

Kind of contradictory to respond to ssjoku in the same way that you blame him for berating others, isn't it?

Translation: He swore at us a lot. You don't like him. When he finally apologizes, you swear back at him. Sinking down to his level...

And by the way. isn't it Goku with a G? []

The reason there are no ki soldiers or any of that is because everyone wants a scientific explanation for everything. Simply put, many people believe that if there's no equation for it, it can't exist.

Yeah, anime is how I got started too, sort of. []

I have that same weird thing about more Ki coming on the exhalation. I would appreciate any possible explanations. Or maybe I'm just not doing it right...[|)]

Um...call me naive, but last chance for what?[|)]

Well, like I said, a good place to start is doing the four-fold breath. You inhale for around four seconds (don't count, it defeats the purpose) hold it for about 2, exhale for 4, hold empty lungs for 2, and repeat.

This always helps me get in the ~mood~ for ki stuffs - I mean, activities.[]
Then, just as a beginner thing, after you're all relaxed feel the Ki coursing through every fiber of you. Feel it pulsing. The center of this activity should be somewhere around your stomach, but like I said before, don't worry if it's not exactly there.

Don't get frustrated. Take a break or something if you're frustrated, becuase it won't work then.

There's TONS of material on this site in the energy development section for beginnners. I would start by sifting through it and picking out relevant topics.

And if you watch the show DragonBallZ, that wouldn't hurt either...[]
Just don't get any crazy ideas!


Buena suerte!

Yeah, I'm kinda new too, but I seem to have a different approach than everyone else. I read a lot about other people's techniques, and if I like them I try them. I'm not sure there really is any specific place to start, although I would recommend the four-fold breath and then just feeling your energy. (Sorry, but I am SO not intersted in "astral stuff."[])(And I don't want to get slammed for saying it doesn't exist. [] I think it does, I'm just better suited to energy development.)

Also, don't worry if you don't seem to get the same reaction as everyone else. I was kinda worried when I didn't seem to be feeling my ki storage...place in the same location as everyone else (theirs appears to be near the navel, while mine is closer to the heart) but I just went with it and I've made a lot of progress.

Then again, I could be completely wrong since I only have the faintest clue what I'm doing.[]

I don't know about when listening to music, but sometimes when I watch TV and see a certain commercial (like the Harry Potter lego commercial - don't ask me why![|)]) I get the same chills you talk about. Kinda like a wave down your spine/back, right?

When I listen to music (actually, when I sing/dance to it, often listening isn't enough) I get this pulsing feeling, like there's no barriers and my energy is flowing through me.

Thanks for the info, Auraseer!
Yeah, I'm in eighth grade and my prescription is exactly the same as yours, Squeek.

Ok, so:

Classical = good
No music = neutral
Punk = bad

Any idea where Avril Lavigne, Michelle Branch, Smash Mouth, or tropical steel drum music fall?

You know, I was just sorta sitting here reading stuff and feeling energy move through me every now and then, when I had a twitch and decided on a theory. It felt like a bubble popping sort of. Maybe it is some weird sort of Ki bubble? Just a guess.

Buena suerte!

Yeah, I have quater inch thick glasses too. [] Oh well. While we're on the topic though, I know Ki (Qi? Chi? Whatever) can heal wounds, but can it fix things like eyesight?

Sorry to wander so far from the topic, but these glasses are the bane of my existence and I loathe them! (Can't wear contacts, eye doctor mumbles through some scientific explanation and my mom believes him.)

Yeah, I have very mild twitching problems as well. Not nearly as bad as yours, though. I just ignore them, it actually helps to tell me that I'm *into* it.

I know exactly what you mean!

I don't know anything about how music affects astral projection, but I do know a way to incorporate it into energy work.

Whenever I have a song stuck in my head and can't concentrate (which is just about always[]) I just picture the...energy...from the music turning into Ki and going into me. It's kinda hard to describe, but it almost always works. Now that I think about it, I've had some of my greatest success that way.

Try it and see if it works better just thinking the song or actually playing it. (Or if it does nothing [])

Yeah, that is weird. The only thing even close that I've ever heard of is actually the opposite, not being able to do energy trainging and the like BECAUSE of electronics in the area.

Sorry I'm not more of a help!
