So, apparently I have been training incorrectly since I began... Due to my previous training, i was used to using my intent to will fully lead my chi. In other words i focused on a certain action or direction to move in order to PUT my chi there. I thought this was the right way, but Sifu had said from the first lesson that we set up the conditions and the chi knows what to do.
This Is a conversation that I had with sifu about chi. He thought it would be best to share it so that people with similar questions could benefit. Also, feel free to add more questions.
Do we actually increase the amount of chi that we have or does our awareness of it increase, or both?
A few things: When feeling for the dropping down the front, I am finding that if i let go of the abdominals i can feel this"one more thing" to let go of that almost feels like something sliding downward inside as if Iswallowed something and it falls all the way to dan tian. Everything feels condensed on the front lower mass and gets hard it feels hard without flexing. Is this right? Also, i have noticed that my tongue feels heavy at times, or as if it is slightly tingly. Is that a good sign?
