Someone made me think of Qi deviations and I gave it a thought. Qi deviation There are two versions of Qi deviation; one is psychological and the other is physical. The psychological Qi deviation; is to face your inner demons and traumas. By overcoming psychological Qi deviation, you overcome your inner demons and traumas. Mental illnesses and disorders do not develop by Qi deviations, the illnesses and disorders were always there. Things that cause mental illnesses and disorders are abuse, childhood traumas, genetics, etc. If you cannot overcome your traumas or “inner demons”, please seek professional medical help from a real psychiatrist and not a “healer”. The physical Qi deviation; is just regular malpractice of exercises that you will get from any basic workout if done incorrect. So quit using Qi deviations as an excuse for claiming a practice is bad! Saying people should not practice my made-up technique or anyone's made-up technique for that matter, because of Qi deviations, remember this: It is better to face your inner demons and traumas than letting them eat you up from the inside!

Hello, I am wondering if anyone has had any success with actually reaching certain stages of the IIH steps. I have come to notice and attain certain miraculous feats...but not in the way described or instructed by the book. I am specifically interested to know if anyone has had any success in making elementals and the physical elementary, or the fluid condensers to magically animate pictures.

I've been reading posts and commentary on Facebook in the "Taiji Martial artists" and "The Fa Jin project" groups. And I must say I am shocked at how few people who claim to practice Taiji Chuan actually believe in Qi and Jin as being energy and it's expressed power. I had an exchange with a person who is apparently a well known author of Taiji Quan (from the UK) and has been practicing Taiji Chuan for more than 40 years now. I'm skeptical about his taiji skills. What do the Bums think? Is it possible to be good at Internal Martial Arts if one doesn't accept the "internal aspect" of it (i.e. Qi, Jin, etc)?
