What is Qi or Vital Energy?
When asked "What is Qi or Vital Energy?" I will not be able to give a direct answer.

These Qi Gong exercises have the goal in the beginning to help us become sensitive to this level of reality, by opening the meridians in our body, and thus starting the process of cultivation of Qi and strengthening th

The Importance of "Intention" in Qi Gong Practice and Exercises
When we practice Qi Gong, we are working with our minds as well. While executing certain instructions that we might have learned, it is important to keep ourselves free from any expectation.

Kill The Guru: Look Life Horizontally
The biggest problem that we all have is that we do not think and see according to our own perspective. We see gurus, experts, teachers, as the ones who hold the truth. And we underestimate ourselves and our own possibility to experience and see things clearly for ourselves. We create images of people and things around us.

The Power Of Discipline: Qi Gong Routine

We live in a tremendous society. And we can all agree on this, I believe. Just go for a walk and look around, or turn on your TV. One might ask what is the point of all this? To pr

Do Not Acquire Beliefs, Pell Them Off (The Use Of Psychedelics To Grow Spiritually)
New exotic beliefs, spiritual systems, medicinal plants, drugs seem to be preferred ways to address the need of evolving from our own human condition. Whether we do that because we want to be happier or explore other human possibilities, sometimes we turn the human evolution process into a spiritual circus. Some of the people who explore psychedelic drugs get so much attached to those experiences, that they look for them over and over. Certain experiences, similar to those on
