DaoChild Posted February 22, 2009 Sounds like what happens when I do a cat stretch in the morning. Or, if I lay down for a nap, my whole body tingles because it is relieving pressure that has been on the feet all day. You can feel circulation going to other body parts as they relax.

When it comes down to it though there is nothing that isn't Qi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteTiger Posted February 23, 2009 Nah you're just trippin  Those sorts of sensations could be certainly the first signs of Qi perception. When it comes down to it though there is nothing that isn't Qi.  There really isn't anything that isn't chi.  Although starting to define different types of chi and so forth is an art... learning about energy in general gets quite complex.  Actually its all really simple and makes lots of sense but theres more and more to learn... it just goes deeper and funny enough the deeper it goes the smaller the nuances get.
