: I just started practicing and I'm not sure what to be thinking. I have felt the chi when listening to the tape when Luke is repeating "open.... close". It is just there for me, like a ball of energy that I can rub my hands around. But, when I start to visualize or "try" to do anything... I lose it.... the feeling is gone. Does one have to picture the chi or intend the chi to go into the body? I find that if I just listen to Lukes voice the chi is there. If I "try" it's like I'm forcing and off it goes. If I don't intend the chi into my body... does it instinctively just know where to go? (does that sound wierd?). I have yet to really feel it when doing LCUPCD. What kind of feelings can one expect... and if you don't feel anything does that mean the chi is not present?

Dear Cathy, From my own experience and from what others tell me, it's better not to think too much. The chi really does know what it's doing and where to go. We help it when we concentrate on the dantien, for example, or do fa chi, but in the long run it gets there on its own. When we start thinking too much, we do as you said, we start concentrating on thinking , or feeling, instead of relaxing, centering on the dantien, and letting the chi do its stuff. Don't know if this helps.I've really oversimplified it, but I don't think we really need to know a lot more than that for the chi to work, especially at the beginning. Much love and chi and a Happy Thanksgiving to you! NancyCA
