Qi  (Chi) Training

Compiled and written by Jim Vaughan

(7) The teaching style we are familiar with in our Western civilization is based on books and lectures and laboratory work that teach our brains facts about the things that make up our world. Our Science rejects as “Quackery” any talent it cannot analyze and perform itself regardless of whether someone else can make it work. Science cannot imagine awareness independent of the brain in the head.

(8) Eastern teaching style focuses on training the student how to “work the system as a whole” to accomplish the desired results. It is like learning to get music from a piano without bothering to know details of its construction. Eastern based religions like Christianity teach that there are other centers of awareness besides the brain and many westerners accept that in religion.

(9) Qi (Chi) Training is taught in the Eastern style like an art of doing! Traditional teachers never answer questions which encourage brain activity. Instead they teach meditation techniques which bypass brain chatter and brain involvement while still keeping their student awake and aware. This quieting is necessary to help the student shift awareness to engage the subtle chi-genome mind. Traditional moving exercises have been perfected by master teachers to help students begin moving in harmony with this mind which is always in motion. This is a form of experiencing something new by induction. Moving and meditation must be practiced simultaneously, so the technique is called Moving Meditation.

Most importantly, genuine teachers use Qi (Chi) to induce the ”knowing” in their students. They generate strong Qi (Chi) fields that they project into the students when the students have done their work to make themselves open. The inducted experience is what the student is trying to learn to feel, so the trained teacher saves the student a lot of time and effort. As the feeling becomes more clearly “known”, the student can begin to invoke it himself by intention.

(10) Meditation is an eastern skill. One technique is to become disinterested and emotionally unattached to any thought your brain presents to you as it flows in, through, and out of awareness. Also practice to leave a very small token part of your awareness there as a quiet shadow witness to keep your brain from falling asleep or into a trance. Then most of your awareness is free to explore expansion.

(11) Remember to entirely forget this “mental paper” when “Doing Qi (Chi) Training”. Persistently pay complete awareness to your immediate experience and to your teacher. Only this helps you progress.

(12) The persistent training is the price to pay. Gradual accomplishment empowers better health and a longer better life and that is the worthwhile goal for most people. The collective subconscious is also large enough to offer many additional amazing but natural human abilities that can be developed by almost anyone who makes sufficient effort.
