1) The Ki Flame is a falty technique.  A better way to "power up" is to focus on the Qi in your Dan Tian and try to make the hot feeling in your Dan Tian spread out all over your body through relaxing and doing Qi Breathing.

2) Your Qi is your energy.  Your Aura is the magnetic field emitted by the Dian Qi (Electric Qi) that's in your body.  Your Energy Body is the term for all the Qi in your body as well as your aura.

I find that sensing was something that came to me with experience.

and how long did it take for it to come?

It depends on the person's overall health and energy level when they start practicing their enery discipline as well as how dedicated they are to it when they do start as to when they learn it.

I started seriously studying Qi when I was about 12 and the first time I remember using sensing was somewhere within a year of starting.  The earliest I remember using sensing on a regular basis was about age 14 or 15.

Like I said, I never learned it.

josh my man i was hoping you did coz i really did help with that one how bout other kinesis ny look?

Constructs and their uses are more my department when it comes to Psi.

I meant my trace to be displayed as a path backwards.

As in it started in India and went to China.  It went from China to Korea.  And both Korea and China were sources for the Japanese.

Your Shaolin Temple bit you spoke of can be one of the explinations for how it got from CHina to Korea and Japan.

Like I said, I never learned it.

I've never conceived of a reson for using it in a fight so I never learned it.

Usually when I want to shock people I just slide my feet on the carpet for awhil and touch them. []

If you do enough research, you can find history on your path and find where it was created.

Most paths (as far as I understand) trace from Japan to Korea or to China, Korea to China, and China to India.

Actually, that complaint was about you, but I wrote it a few days ago when I first saw you.

I think much higher of you now than I did then.

If you're in pain when you do an exercise, I suggest you first try taking the exercise slower.  You may be trygint to so things too fast which causes Qi to be forced through your body (which is bad).  So take it slower.

If taking it slower doesn't help, find another exercise that doesn't hurt you and practice it instead.

The thing about many paths, though, is that most of the legitimate paths are made by researching, studying, and respecting the paths that came before it and adding in what was "modern thought and technology" at the time in order to create that path.  Paths are still being created even in modern times in the martial arts.  Look at Jeet Kune Do as an example of a new path that is merely an upgraded version of an old path.

Misconceptions lack such respect because of things like greed and ego.  The people who follow such misconceptions do so due to ignorance (not knowing any better).

As I said before, it clears the mind as well (which includes clearing distractions).

to really understand chi, jing, and shen, a person HAS to get away from the idea that they are types of "energy". to think of them as such is like thinking that math has to do with addition and subtraction only.

i admit that it is simple to call them energy, but in reality they are not merely energy.

~kakkarot

With all the misconceptions out there (and BS like Radki) its hard to not find the misinterpreted versions, Kak.

Yes, meditation is a way of calming and clearing the mind.  A calm and clear mind can make the body work better.

And what do you mean by that?

Qi/Ki/Chi -- The energy that makes up all matter in the universe.  When getting more in-septh, one will notice that there are many tpyes of Qi and that its not really as mystical or metaphysical as one would first believe.

Qi/Chi/Ki -- Chinese , Korean, and Japanese terms relating to life energy.

Psi -- Energy related to Psionics.

Fireball -- The incorrect term for what Ryu projects from his hands (Hadoken) in Street Fighter.

The metods I use to build up energy also increase the capacity for energy so the effects of the methods I use are permenant if you do them correctly.

That's why you build up energy (or as I call it, Qi) in your off time rather than right before the event.  The only Qi drawing you should do before or during the event that you use Qi is breathing (which you should be doing all the time, anyway).

I'm a feeler, not a seer.  I trust my gut more than my eyes when it comes to Qi.

"To Kiai, one must be like the bow and arrow. Inhale as one would normally for Qigong Form (refer to Chapter 1 of Qigong Book by Darkduck). The inhale is not dissimilar to that of an archer drawing back the bow when preparing to release an arrow upon a foe. When exhaling, one would tighten the abdominal area while creating a loud "Ha!" sound. This is to be no different than when an archer lets his arrow fly. Other sounds that are commonly used are "Ai!", "E-eye!", or "Ya!" The basic reason for tightening the abdominal area is so that one will "shout with their entire body instead of just their face." Forcing a Kiai out of the throat will make one hoarse and may likely lead to one losing their voice, making the Kiai impossible to perform. Other reasons for tightening the abdominal area will be explained while going further into the vast uses such as making strikes and kicks stronger, overcoming fear and pain, and sustaining blows without injury. After covering such topics, more distinct Kiai developed for specific purposes will be covered."

"Another very good mental weapon is to take advantage of the opponent's fear. When the opponent is preparing to or approaching to take the offensive, the Kiai can be used to project the intent and to project Chi into the opponent. With proper timing and a proper powerful Kiai one of a few certain effects will likely take place. The first is intimidation. The opponent can be intimidated a little bit which lowers the spirit, thus the Chi, and ultimately the overall power of the opponent. The opponent fould be intimidated to the point where they back down or that other nearby potential additional danger decides not to attack. A third effect is the opponent becoming slightly stunned and flenching. With this slight stun, which normally lasts up to one second at most, the individual can follow up on the Kiai with an attack without the worry of being defended against. The fourth would be a more powerful stun that could cause the opponent to step back, stumble, or even lose balance and fall over! Out of these effects, with proper timing and power taken into consideration, the most likely effect will be a slight stun unless one's Kiai is truly exceptional. These effects may, whether deliberately or not, take place while performing the Kiai for the other reasons stated in the above paragraphs."

That's aboutas basic as I can make it.  My only other advice I can give you is to go to a Karate class and ask the Sensei how to Kiai.

Also, read the entire article and read it carefully!  You'll better understand what I'm talking about if you don't just skim through it.

I have an article on a website about an art called Kiaijutsu.  If you read it carefully you will come across ways that you can affect another person with your Qi without touching them by correct use of the Kiai.



cool do tell an easy alternativ plez[:I]

Read my entire post about the easy alternative.  I gave you a link to the article at the bottom of my post.  In that article I speak of how to use the easy alternative.

All that picture does is give me a headache.

I hate trusting my eyes so much (all three of them).

finnaly we agree on something

We never disagreed.  Its more that there is a lot of mistranslations out there on how to use "Energy as a Weapon" and I merely helped you bypass all those mistranslations.

I hope you didn't take it personally when I spoke contrary to your beliefs or others' claims.

josh my man you always hav a cool website!!!
nice one really helped!!!!

No problem.  I'm glad to help when it comes to learning about Qi for martial arts.

so u cant fire it and you cant eat it so what can u do with it besides punching i mean can you actually use it to wait a minute mistic idan claims that she can use beams and balls which i thought you cant do?[:O][:O][}:)][]??

now im confused!!![]

nyone wanna help me?[?][?]

You can make "balls" but they aren't really balls.  Its simply your Qi from each hand mashing into each other and pushing your hands apart (which feels like holding a ball).  You can make it leave your body like a Qi Blast but it'll only work through physical contact.  You can transfer the Qi into another person's body through a punch, but you can't emit it through the air in such a focused manner without special training.  Unfortunately, I have never undertaken such special training so I can't do it.

However, there is an alternative.  I have an article on a website about an art called Kiaijutsu.  If you read it carefully you will come across ways that you can affect another person with your Qi without touching them by correct use of the Kiai.

Before I give you the link, here's a few notes:

When I wrote this, I was using the modern everyday Japanese definition and spelling of Qi: Ki ("spirit" as in "intent, emotion, and mind-set").

Another note is that I had to split the article into two posts due to a 10,000 character limit so be sure to read both posts to learn the whole article.

Lastly, I'll be referring to a Qigong manual on that site a few times.  You can find it, along with my old Kiaijutsu guide, in the Articles section of the website.

I never said it made them completely invulnerable, but that's not the point.

Thanks for correcting me about Golden Bell!
