I sensed that it was not fujin but sneaky physical movements that he was doing. After watching closely a few times I get wahat you mean. Is this Real fujin in your opinion on these quicktime videos or is there trickery here too? I understand that these are willing participants but are they faking or really being tossed by chi? http://www.searchcentertaichi.com/notouch.html rusty - docspeed2001 Thursday, July 28, 2005 6:09 PM Then he forwarded body shifted with a tiny up-root of his left forearm. , lwinmorgan <lwinmorgan@s...> wrote:> Doc.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Doc and all, A question has arisen. How does one CULTIVATE subtle energies and put them to practical application - like the guy shown in the video? For instance, with the radiant circuits energy....I'm looking for ways to channel it for USEFUL purposes rather than just letting it dissipate into the universe. All kinds of ideas are coming to mind. For starters, I decided to charge and program some water in a special way yesterday evening. A lot of other things are starting to pop into my mind. Seems everything boils down to " Doing the Drills to Get the Skills " . I have a friend in the Puget Sound area who can do a lot of things with subtle energies. He's a martial artist, does qigong, etc., and owns a nightclub where I had my very first encounter with such things a few years ago. Seeing what he could do intensely sparked my interest and I never forgot about it. One night a few of us stuck around talking with him after the club closed. Then he excused himself and got up to do his nightly closing- up of the place. I thought I saw him doing something out of the corner of my eye that made me really take a double look with a dropped jaw. I watched as he went around to each table and put out the candle that was burning on each one. He wasn't doing it the ordinary way though.... .....he stood about six feet away from a candle, opened his hand and ever so slightly thrust his hand toward the flame. A few seconds later the flame went out. No smoking candlewicks afterwards either. It was completely extinguished. He went around to each table, must have been 20 or more, and did this time after time until all the flames were extinguished. I got up and stood next to him trying as much as I could to figure out how he was doing it. I couldn't. When I asked him how he did it he said it would take me 20 years to learn how to do that. Maybe that was true for him, but for some reason I didn't believe that had to be the case. Maybe he was trying to discourage me from trying or didn't want to teach me his secrets?...but ever since then I was fascinated with subtle energies. Now in retrospect, and based on what I know now, it looked similar to the way that energyballs are done, but with a lot more focus maybe? What I liked was that what my friend didn't waste his energy. He had a practical application. He said he didn't want to smoke up the place with the smoldering candlewicks of 20 candles so he extinguishes them that way. Recently I was actually able to do energy balls....no success yet with extinguishing candle flames though... So....I asked myself this morning...if I were to find ways to channel my energies for even more practical applications, how would I do that?

Rusty, What he really did is ALSO a high level skill, but a skill of rooting, timing and balance. > Is this Real fujin in your opinion on these quicktime videos or is there trickery here too? > I understand that these are willing participants but are they faking or really being tossed by chi? I couldn't get them to play, so I'll attempt it again on my office computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
