Or something like that…
The funny thing, is when I got started on this path, I wasn’t so much skeptical as I
was a total unbeliever in such things…
I came from a very conservative background…I believed in God, Family, Country (and still do).
I was not your best candidate for this type of training…
I though meditation had to do with evil spirits…
I looked at Chi or Qi as a mystical energy used by the devil or witches…
So, as you can imagine, the first time I heard about internal energy or chi, I was less than interested.
I ignored it for years, as I learned the physical or external side of the martial arts.
I looked at the internal as a distraction of the real power of the external body.
So, what changed?
First off, I always have an open mind about things I don’t know about. Even if I think it is stupid, I will at least listen.
I had done enough training for my mind that I want to know more. I want to know how far I could push my body and mind.
It was almost like an evolution…As I searched for that extra edge for my mind and body, I was lead to the Internal…The Chi was calling my name in a very subtle way.
By the time I was introduced to it, my mind was ready to accept the concept. You notice I didn’t say it all, because I still didn’t believe all of it.
I want you to be the same way…I want you to want to learn, but to test out that learning so you can understand the importance.
I will continue this discussion, but for today I want you to really embrace the concept of opening up your mind to new possibilities of power…
You’ll be glad you did.
