Hi All
I have been practicing Chi Kung for approximately 5 years, initially on a sporadic basis and more recently, over the last 10 months or so with a bit more regularity, at least 4-5 times per week. I have never actually attended a class, but have read a few books, the first of which i had bought 20 years ago, but only started using it when a friend of mind introduced me to a practitioner of 72 years old, who reinforced the philosophy to me.
My routines generally begins with the 8 brocades and then I may do some standing meditation, holding the three balls ( circles) and lifting the sky and cradling the moon, as well as some abdominal breathing, depending on the time that I have.
Lately i have had an experience where once i stimulate the chi in my body, through abdominal breathing, my body then starts to move specifically to massage and old injury to my lower back, which i had incurred more than 20 years ago.
The pattern of the movement is very symmetrical and it moves me in a gentle yer forceful manner but targeting the area of the old injury.
The energy would then take me to the flow on my knees and then make me go forward unto my head and deliberately stretch my spinal column. I could remain in this prostrated position for maybe 5-8min before it will gently motion me to rise and the do similar but differing gyrating movements, working my back and the area of the injury all the time.
I am not scared by the movements they are not over powering, but i have sensed and felt a big improvement in the area already.
I have mentioned this to a few people including a good friend of mind today who know about Chi Kung, but is not a practitioner and had advised me to raise the issue with the Forum.
I have sensed from my experiences that this is a form of healing that was given to us when we were placed here on this planet, the knowledge of which became lost over time.
It border on the miraculous that the energy can sense a physical problem and work specifically to correct the problem.
I am broadcasting this here, since this may well be a common experience to those of you who are experienced in the ways of this form of exercise, but as someone who has never attended a formal class, and has stuck to what i perceive as being the basic routines, it does leave me in awe of the potential of this form of exercise.
I look forward to feedback and comfort that what I am experiencing is not bizarre and that others have had similar experiences.
Please note that this is not a one off experience, but it happens every time i induced the chi in me and the exercises seem to be progressively changing as the weeks go bye, through building on some core routines.
It was noticeable that I did my exercise outside for the first time this year, and the energy did not cajole me to the ground ad it normally did when i was inside the house.
Kind regards
Ryan
