My name is Dan. I am a 52 year old who has since mid teens been interested in meditation. I don't feel I have made much spiritual progress with zazen type mediation. In the last year or so I have been doing qi gong and zhan zhuang. I am athletic and have participated in many sports but am ignorant of the martial arts. I am stiff from so many sports and started qi gong to increase my flexibility. I can feel my chi increasing, albeit slightly, and feel daoism/qi gong is a good path for me. I stumbled on this site while searching nei gong for powerlifting. I am grateful to find a forum of like minded people. Thank you for the welcome.
