Tai Chi Exercise

I have learned new information about how to channel chi through normal tai chi exercises. This should be learned first before trying to learn NeiKung. Nei Kung is the build up Chi in the Dan Tien, a place 3 finger widths below the belly and 1/3 the way inside the body. Nei Kung is achieved through meditation. The Tai Chi can give the practitioner an immediate impact and feeling of chi to understand what Chi really is. Meditation is not required. I would say it feels like the increase of blood flow/saturation to a particular area of the body. The exercises work to give you power by training your blood vessel to work harder to work with the breath and give you this power. Example of the exercise: Stand with hands to the side, make fists but do not tense the fists hard. Breath in relax the fist, when you breathe out you imagine the fist getting tighter. I used the image of me holding very heavy weights in my arms, and when I breath in the weights lose all their weights. I repeated this 50 times. There are different poses, I would suppose these exercises were described by sixth century Buddhist Monk Da Mo in his book "Yi Gin Ching". I have read this information from a book you may buy here: Chi Kung ... the exercise I have described are in this book. It is very beneficial to my health already, and I can say I really do feel chi from these exercises.
