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.
