well put pod3 but not quite correct. I am not just refering to the healling arts of Ki but all arts, Matrtial arts as well as Healing arts. and while we're on the subject. here is something you all should know about "aura seeing" as u all call it. Aura seeing is a psychic ability not a Ki ability. It has nothing to do with Ki training abd is not a by-product of any type of Ki training weather it be martial art or healing art. The aura seeing training given by robert bruce also isn't what it seems. The "aura" seen when doing that training is actually due to retinal fatigue and not some supernatural power. The same thing can happen if u stare at a colored or black and white pattern. True aura seeing is done by psychics and is used to tell a persons personality, mood, and other things about the person. It is an ESP ability

i do agree with u about dbz and that it is purely fictional and that it should not be a form metaphysical experimentation

Thanks Sloppyjoe42 for bringing a bit of reality to the situation. I have long been aware of the bioelectric or lifeforce energy that is a natural part of us, and not something that is supernatural. We westerners are only starting to grasp the fundamentals of what eastern teachers have known about for millenia.

Like physical strength, the strength of the body's Chi can be increased through excercises such as N.E.W or yoga (which I still believe the NEW technique is mostly based upon). But just as you would not have the strength of Superman even though you might attend gym every day of the week, so too DBZ type powers will not come to those who excercise their energy bodies regularly. Besides the fact that it would be hoped that if you do excercise the energy body regularly, the increase in higher chakra activity would lead to a wiser, more enlightened understanding of how such energy abundance can better be used.

To the relating subject of auras, I know this has been spoken of many times, but I still rely in my own experience. Many of the methods I have seen of teaching people to see auras do nothing to eliminate the persistence of vision effect, where light receptive corneal cells "deactivate" when staring at objects for a period of time. This produces the inverted colour "aura" around people and objects.
But as Pod3 has described, a more psychic "third eye" element can be added to normal sight that will allow normally invisible energy to be seen, and in consistent colour variations. This I have also experienced, though rarely.

For all those that say they practice Ki techniques here are some things I thought you all should know.

1.   The founder or inventor of Ki and Ki techniques- Koichi Tohei
2.   The definition of the word Ki-
A.   "Ki is the basic unit of the universe. It is the infinite gathering of infinitely small particles. Everything is ultimately composed of Ki. If you pursue this concept to the depth of human consciousness, you will understand the universal mind which governs all creation, loving and protecting all life......Everything originates from the Ki of the universe"- Koichi Tohei
B.   The Chinese definition of Ki (pronounced Chi, in Chinese) is perhaps best represented by Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming. As the founder of the YOAA, Inc., an international organization dedicated to the preservation and practice of Chi-based arts, he is uniquely qualified to offer this explanation: "Qi (Chi) is the foundation of all Chinese medical theory......It corresponds to the Greek pnuema and the Sanskrit prana, it is considered to be the vital force and energy flow in all living things......Qi can be best explained as a type of energy very much like electricity, which flows through the human or animal body. When this circulation becomes stagnant or stops, the person or animal will become ill or die. Although there is no precise Western definition of Qi, it is often referred to as bioelectricity. In fact, it was recognized in the last decade that Qi is actually the bioelectricity circulating in all living things

Well now that you all know that I thought you all should know this.

"As you can see, the Chinese and Japanese perspectives really don't differ all that much; in fact, they have more in common than discord. Both Ki masters maintain that this biological energy is the foundation of life, and that without it, death certainly ensues. Neither asserts Supernatural phenomena as a by-product of Ki's influence upon the Universe, nor do they claim that someone will beget extraordinary superpowers as a result of Ki training--despite what Japanese cartoons (Manga) might lead one to believe. "

Now to sum this all up.....Ki is the building block of the universe or the energy flow in all living things or to put in term for westerners bioelectricity. It cannot give you special powers. "Ki techniques like the ones on http://theteachingsofki.tripod.com will get u nowhere. They are based on a TV show meant to entertain children and no true Ki art.
This being said I must say something to the new people on here. Don't buy into this crap. Trying to be like guys on tv show is for 4 years olds and people with no wisdom. If u want energy increases do yoga, meditate, join a martial artor get your lazy butt up and go to the gym. That is all. Ohhh and I feel very sorry for those out there that actually believe they can be like dbz characters.
Thank You
