Qi Cultivation

Here's an excerpt from the Barrie Tai Chi & Qigong Manual available for free as a pdf file
Qi is everywhere and indeed is everything but as with most phenomena we as human beings do not pay close enough attention or align enough energy to what is happening around and or within ourselves to truly participate on a conscious level.
To cultivate Qi one must first be conscious of the concept of Qi. On a personal level one must first pose the question and then seek their own answers. One must put their energy towards gaining personal experiences that enlarge your knowledge and perception. It is only through the journey that one can expect to cultivate Qi.
Most people live their lives on a habitual basis using 75+% of their energy on the mundane and gross aspects of life such as work and leisure. Another 20+% of your energy is allocated to thought. A very small % is spent in an aware state where you truly connect with your essence and experience yourself and your connection to the Universe.
The path to Qi cultivation has already begun for you as you have joined the Zongshu family and are reading this material. This means that you have set yourself on the path of understanding and inner knowing.
By learning to be relaxed at all times (see chapter 7) and by learning to be consciously aware of all that you participate with, you will enhance the probability of experiencing a manifestation of Qi.
