Hello all, Hopefully some of you can shed light on this issue. I have observed that while doing energy generating exercises I feel tired afterwards when I should feel refreshed. For example, long deep breathing (dantien) makes me relaxed but does not energize me. More rapid forms of breathing have a more energizing effect on me, but nothing dramatic. It's almost as if when I'm doing deep breathing the harder I try the more tired I become. Why is this? The same is true after doing Robert Bruce's NEW system.

Thank you everyone for you insight. I have heard this too, but I have noticed that as long as you're doing your breathing in through your nose and breathing out to your mouth it has no effect on your energy. I do this while running or jogging. It actually keeps me going longer whereas if I'm just breathing through my nose.

I just wanted to say a quick hello and introduce myself. I am more familiar with Yogic/Indian style of development but I'm not stranger to Chi kung. I try to practice the 8 brocades in my daily regimen if I don't forget to do them. Anyway, this forum looks fun! And it's growing so fast. Can't wait to get in all the fun. gonzie2dope
