chi

They're vague on what it is exactly (which is as much a problem of qualifying what Qi is exactly or how best to measure it and with what. A vast and very difficult question) as they are bringing up measurements of bio-electricity which don't accord to anything previously done and they cannot explain what it is exactly. They do run very similar to the channels mapped out in CM, so, while it doesn't specify or even clarify what it is, there is something there that they have measured which could be translated into the CM channels.

Fair enough, though searching about about it, in this case the ´´they´´ who are doing the studies do not seem to be western scientists? and I dont know about the validity and recognition of this research by the wider scientific community?

Until then, you could blindly refuse to accept anything that you can't see (I wonder how many Christians or religious people don't believe in Qi? Their answer as to why they don't would be humorous and rather typical) or you could objectively keep an open mind towards it and even check out some related things as you can feel it quite obviously through certain means ie. acu, Qi Gong etc etc.

I will keep an open mind but the problem is not so much people blindy refusing to accept anything that they cant see, it is too many people blindly accepting and believing in things passed down through time without questioning.
This is true in ALL religions
Cheers.

Did any of you read Joe Louis's autobiography? In there he says that one of his opponents, don't recall who, was using some wild and weird meditation technique. Didn't stop Louis from knocking him out. People talk a lot about this mystical stuff from the orient, but so far I haven't seen it translate into better performance in the ring and certainly not in the cage!

I do karate, but this is true also



The moral being that a lot of peope at my dojo down the years became too obsessed with esoteric stuff, energy and different stances etc and forgot the part where ya gotta actually fight!!!

Chi is awesome, dog. I used it once at a public bathroom to flush my piss down the urinal. Look, no hands!
