Yes it is just a matter of moving your awareness to the place and holding it there and voila, your energy begins flowing in that particular place.

No need of eyes closed or transe state at all, what you describe is energy feelings. With some practice you can even raise energy while walking in the street ! So don't give up, you're on the right way ! :)

yes. i've been using chi for sevenish years now, but it only took me about 6 months of constant playing with it to be able to feel it at all times.

kakkarot haha me to man but its been like 3 years for me tho...i wonderd on to some ki/chi sites a LONG time ago and been playing with my energy ever sence, I can evon make a ki ball in about 5 sec..it might not be very strong but man that is fast...plus i can push my energy out of my body and any body with any sort of spiritual(sp) awarness will start to feel uncomfurble hehe it works we will my parents to :)
yeah-- i taught myself Psi so psiballs were the first thing i learned... ive never done Chi but it seems pretty simular. probably has some same concepts. But yeah-- the NEW system is really good and i cna also get energy flowing by just concentrating a bit on my foot or something :p good way too keep from getting bored in school or something...[:P]
Yes easily, focus + breathening towards the specific area is the key :D
Especially hands and feet are all to easily done.
I don't mean to hijack this thread with questions of my own, but I am in a somewhat similar situation except I don't know if I am actually doing it right. I can focus say on a toe or a body part and feel energy i guess it is. I don't know if I am just imagining it or if i can actually feel something, to me it does seem like i feel something so I don't know.
The reason I ask, is because I've kinda been able to do this for years. I just had a good awareness of my body or something. I could do it easily, just say I would think of an area of my body and feel kind of a weird sensation there. That's the reason I don't know if I am doing the NEW training correctly, or if I think I am and it's just an old habit I am doing instead (don't know if that made sense). I also feel like I can do this easier with my eyes open. I don't look at the area I am trying to "feel energy" I just kinda look ahead or to the side or something and I have a much easier time. Same with it when I am trying to imagine stuff (like the exercises at the beginning of the NEW book) I could imagine the stuff he wrote while I was reading it, or even after I read it, but with my eyes open. I have a difficult time imagining with my eyes closed, don't know why.
I would appreciate any helpful comments or suggestions.
I was really hoping that someone could reply to my comments. I am kinda confused as to whether or not I am doing this correctly.
Hi none !
Well it seems to me that you are doing it well if you feel something, eben very faintly. It doesn't need to be a huge rush of sensations, especially if you already have a good body awareness. And trust wht your intuition tells you about how to do it, it's the best way for YOU. So just be more self confident and continue doing it, and it'll be ok. Really.
Hi None,
Looks like you are doing just fine, keep up the good work.
Regarding eyes open or not. Let me give you an analogy. A couple of yrs ago an ex girlfriend and myself took some courses in Raja yoga. This particular Raja style primarily included meditating with ones eyes open. Being conditioned to sitting or meditating eyes shut, I found it nigh on impossible to maintain the practice without closing them again. After a while (a week or so) it became 2nd nature. So practice, practice etc and it will work out.
Cheers,
S

i dont get the new system. but yeah i can generate energy with my eyes open its really hard for me to do it when i am typing and stuff but like when i am walking i do it all the time not much i might add im not that good. all i do is put up my hood look at the ground. and i can move enery easy. yeah cool :)
Hi people,
Was just trying to confirm for myself that I am indeed feeling the proper energy sensations (Im pretty sure I am but just wanted to double check) Im finding it hard in general to match what I experience with what RB describes, and am constantly asking myself "was that the feeling Im supposed to get or not?" :) Anyway...
I found that soon after starting NEW, like within a day or two, that rather than requiring I close my eyes and imagine awareness hands and tactile imaging, I can now just sorta concentrate on my little toe or my whole arm or my whole foot, or both arms and legs at once and I can get the energy feeling. Is this too easy for it to actually be the energy sensations? Can anyone else find that they can generate an energy feeling anywhere at will with their eyes open and no trance state? This is just the secondary stuff, I dont wanna try the primary centres yet, sounds kinda dangerous from Robs book :)
Cheers for any help and feedback
