Hello, good evening Dao Bums, My name is Silvia, usename Ginseng ( love it). I found this web site searching google, I read some few posts and already got lots of help from them. I would be grateful if I could be accepted as part of this community. I have problems with chi since child, actually most of my life I have had chi flowing naturally and I used to get really scared ( I used to think my sould was going away and I would become empty, I totally misunderstood the idea, or feeling, of emptiness,and I am just starting to understand now). When younger I would close my hands very hard to stop the flow ( for fear) and I guess I did a lot of harm to health for doing that so many times, until I started practicing tai chi and and started to understand. I still have tons of doubts and still a long way to go before I can deal with chi, I really need help and advice on this, but mostly to be able to talk about it. I am really glad to find a place I can talk about this thing that come out of our hands and someone actually believe it exists. I don't have a religion, but I love the Tao Te Ching. I handwrited it to make the text close to my mind, and keep it always at hand. Not exactly as an advice book, but for the beauty of the text that gives me a sense of awe. Apart from that I don't really don't know a lot about Taoism. I am not sure this is a good introduction. Thank you so much for making this place where people can talk about this, Silvia
