Hello, and there's no need to say you're going to be blunt or anything; as I previously stated, I'm a complete novice on this subject and wouldn't know if it's good or bad for me. Also, after reading a lot of biography and theory, I think it is preferable for me to first workout and have a healthy body before doing Qigong, Mopai, Neigong, Tai Chi, and so on, since, like you mentioned, my body is still developing, and I don't want to screw it up. And, yes, it may sounded cliché, but you're right I want to enjoy my life and be a kid for the time I have left. I'll simply lurk here, ask questions, and explore all the forums while reading some energy books. Anyway, thank you; could you also tell me if fragrant qigong counts as a martial art, since I feel stimulated after practicing it twice a day, despite the fact that it has no meditation or anything, and what you mean by simple breathing exercise?

Hello, and thank you so much for all of your suggestions. Also, after reading a lot about Flying Phoenix Chi Kung here and at Alchemical Garden, I wanted to start with it, but I'm not sure whether I'll be able to get the DVDs because I'm not in Canada. When I return, I'll look for local masters who teach it or enroll in Sifu Terry's online lessons. Also, what exactly do "compatible with other systems" and "abandon" mean? Is there any disadvantage to training it with different systems, and will abandoning it have any consequences? Furthermore, thank you for the reading list. I am a voracious reader and want to learn about other practitioners and their perspectives on the system.

I see Thanks

Oh, okay. Could you also suggest some books for beginners that I could read to learn more about this subject?

Thank You And for the advice, I'm sorry, but I would like to continue. I have practiced Fragrance Qigong for 3 weeks and have started seeing results. I apologize once more, but I would like to continue on this journey.

Greetings, Senior Dao Bums! Now that I've gone through this site, it's time for me to sign up. Canadian teenager, age 16, here. I am on a goal to eliminate all distractions so that I could concentrate more on myself and improve myself. On this journey, I also want to control my sexual urges and other things. So I did some research and learned about Energy Work, Qigong, Mopai, Neigong, Tai Chi, etc. I must admit that listening it feel very overpowered by all the various systems, viewpoints, and perspectives and since I have no idea where to begin, I turned to the internet and found this wonderful place. I ask the Senior Dao Bums around here for advice. I am aware that it will probably take me a lifetime to master something, but I don't want to waste time on activities that will not help me achieve my goal. I have zero experience in this and have no idea where to begin and certain systems overlap quite a bit, I occasionally find it difficult to distinguish between them. For a complete newbie like me, may the Senior Dao Bums here possibly have more information? Some guidance on how I can initially connect with my energy and myself without the aid of a master? Is it a good idea to practice qigong, or are there better techniques to master first? I'm really hoping for some responses.
