Hi all. I've seen several posts from this forum come up on google in the past, but they are always quite old posts. It's good to see that the forum is still up and running! I've joined because I have an interest in Qigong and meditation. There is a meditation practice I learned from the book "The Secret of the Golden Flower," which I found quite interesting but, after reading several cautions, I decided to hold off on practicing that any further until I have some experience working with energy. My immediate goal is to learn Tai Chi (hopefully I can find something in Sacramento, because I don't want to drive to the bay area for several years straight) and then I am interested in learning the Energy Arts system, including the meditation practice therein. Anyway that's all, and I hope to be able to interact with you all in the future.
