What is the use of Qi (part 1)

1.    Basic Possibilities  and the Europeans

At first, I thought it was only some kind of healing power.  I can heal some simple diseases with Qi.   However I guess that is more than a healing power.  It might be a much more complicated and useful power than healing.  It could be the next step of human evolution. If humans had mastered Qi power, every thing will be changed. The first successful country using Qi will be rich, and strong. When the world has mastered the Qi, the world will be in another level of human wisdom. 

There is a news that the Queen of England has just died. It seems lots of people are sad losing her. People were just feeling confused in this chaotic world.  One question suddenly emerged from my mind, where would the Europeans go from now on? 

Things seemed not working well anymore like the old days.

Can the Europeans find a way out?  It’s almost impossible for them if they are to continue their old mindset. They are looking at the economy and politics so hard that they must have lost the stamina to research for something new.

2.   A new science is needed

They might not be aware

that the old forms of science is the obstruction to a new eyesight, not to mention the place they put themselves…..somewhere between the United States and Russia. Can they forget the old concepts? Can they rely on their own effort and not to be the subordinates of the US? I hope they would have an answer sooner from their younger generation.

Qi is not a thing that can give us a new vision, but the way to look at Qi can lead to a new angle to see things. It is not same as the so-called scientific method.

Older concepts are always trying to compare Qi with electricity, the thought is only about another source of unknown energy.  But it’s more than that.    

3.   Next possibilities

    ( Awareness)

If you can mastered Qi, you might have the power to foresee.  You will have the power to aware different situations around you.   You will be able to sense what is happening nearby. You will know the danger around you. Because Qi is like a connecting power between your internal self and the external world. If someone is planning to kill you and he is standing infront of you, and if you cannot sense anything out of the situation, you might be in danger. Its best to use your nose before your eyes. It meant to stay alert in the Qi field and use your senses.   

Martin Luther King and John Lennon had that feeling.  They kept saying  someone was trying to kill them before they got killed.  They are smart people though they might not had known the Qi was flowing inside their body. They must have some foreseeing power, but they didn’t know how to use it.

I wish to note down my own experience about Qi. I will start from my experience of the healing power and I might discuss about some very strange feeling I had encountered later. I didnt know whether it is too early to write about them, but I think in a sincere circle of friends, people will have some stimulation in their own study. 

4. How did I discovered Qi

I am now 74 years old.  And it happened when I was twenty years something.

I had had a bad stomach.  It was always painful after eating.  The worst time was that I could not sit up from my bed, nor to stand on the floor.  I had tried many medicines, and they were useless.

One of my good friend told me to try a little sport, that was actually not a sport at all.  You need only to stand up to swing your arms, repeating it back and fore for ten minutes.  He told me this sport could help my diaphragm to go up and down, helping my stomach to digest in such a way.

I tried that for a while  and my stomach problem was gone.  I did not  realize the real result of the exercise, I just found it happy to have the stomach ache gone.

 I was a scriptwriter for the TV station later.  That was a hard labour actually.  I need to write non-stop for a long time. And my stomach started to protest again.  I tried the swinging method.  I can start working after a meal immediately if I had done ten minutes to swing my arms.  It was so useful that I did not stop the habit of swinging my arms for the next 50 years.   I am an experienced arm swinging expert now.   And the most important thing I have found is that there will be air from the stomach going out like a belching sound.  Whenever I heard I was belching,  I would know that my stomach is in motion.  It’s very comfortable feeling like you just had a hearty meal. It was after a long time that I’ve found the belching is a signal to tell me whether there is Qi or not.

5.   The belching sound

Qi is quiet and unnoticeable.  You will not notice Qi is there or not.   But when the Qi is aroused,  your stomach and your intestines will have a feeling and they would move or squeeze a little, it was at this time the belching alarm would make a noise and you would know there is Qi and the Qi is the cause of some internal movement in your stomach. 

How can you prove that there is Qi when the sound comes?

6.   To rub with a towel

First I would like to tell you how I discovered Qi by pulling a towel over my body.

At first, it seemed to have nothing to do with Qi when I discovered a method to heal my Athletes Foot problem by using a towel.

I was a keen swimmer when I was 13 and soon I had had Athlete’s foot. It was bacteria or mildew developing inside the gaps of my toes. I had applied different medication and the germ will return after it was healed a short while. 

Doctors told me that it was the spore which is like very tiny seeds of the bacteria which was staying inside the skin and they would grow again in suitable warmth and humid situations. Can I keep my feet dry without sweat every minute of the day? I tried to use a towel to rub the gaps by pulling the towel up and down the gaps. Though I can do it only once a day and I cannot keep my feet dry all day. However, the bacterias and their spores had left me.  

I did not think it was Qi helping me. But I have never stop using a towel to rub my feet every night for the next 60 years. (* I did the rubbing since I got married and I was 30 years something by then. So the counting should be 40.  I rubbed my feet for the next 40 years only.) I had been swinging for 50 years plus rubbing for 40 years. And of course, though my problems are gone almost forever, the special healing power was more obvious when I discovered that rubbings can prevent Hernia also.

7. The Hernia experience.

Hernia is a nightmare for man.  My father had got it, and later when I was married, I saw how my father-in-law had suffered also. Tissues in the external walls of the abdomen were weak and the intestines would break throw the tissues in the groin and enter the scrotum.  I had to summon ambulance to send my father-in-law to hospital in an urgent situation when it happened.  It was a great pain when the small intestine escapes into the scrotum. 

I was forty or fifty years by then.  And I had pondered that for a long time. How can an aged old man avoid such painful happening?

I tried to use a towel to rub the groin area between my legs one day. 

Suddenly I heard a sound from my stomach.  That was the belching sound.  It told me that it works. 

 I realized that the Qi is there if you rub into the right acupuncture points. So I am doing that every night after bathing.  I do not know whether the Hernia will visit me when I was older, though it is ok until now.

8.   Meridians

I started to study Acupuncture points and Meridians afterwards.   I tried to memorize their locations and their names. It was not easy, but I keep on trying.  Soon they were familiar to me.  When I pressed other peoples acupuncture points,  it's strange that I have a feeling inside my stomach and will have belching sound if the point is correctly pressed.  It seems to be an indicator of healing locations. And I did not know whether my Qi will be lost into other people's body through the points. At the very beginning. I felt weak afterwards.  And I need to recover for a long time for my Qi to come back.  Afterwards, I have discovered some method  to replenish Qi from the nature. Now it seems to be better.

I have tried to heal my friend who was in his dying bed.  I had permission from his wife and daughter.  I massaged for him every day.  However, his doctor said his brain was dead. He ordered to remove his kidney dialysis machine. I had worked one month for him before that. He died two days after the machine was removed.

*****

What I have been writing here seemed to be too long.

I need to discuss more next time.

One is how to summon Qi

(and its requirements)

Two is the relation of Qi

 between different people

Three is the connection of Qi and other living things, eg. A tree

Four other possibility of Qi, eg. The higher form of Qi
