does anyone really feel the "chi" when you doing the meditation?

Your question is in two parts so I'll make my answer in two parts as well. \n\nQ1) Does anyone really feel the "chi" when you doing the meditation?\n\nA1) Absolutely. When meditating, when walking, when working, when practicing, when sleeping. The "SECRET" is...and it's not really a secret, is that you should not 'try to feel' the Qi. The Qi is always there.  The Qi has always been there.  Without Qi, you would not be alive. Do not look for it or feel for it, but rather recognize it.  When you are breathing, you KNOW there is air entering and leaving your lungs. If you are aware of your breathing, you will recognize the feeling of the air passing through your nostrils and into your lungs and then out again. You recognize the feeling. The same is true for Qi. As you practice, you will find it easier to recognize it until you are ALWAYS aware of it. \n\nQ2) Does anyone actually use chi to do things?\n\nA2) All the time. Technically, we use Qi for EVERYTHING we do. Even if we are not ware of it. When we are born, we have Qi. Our bodies can produce certain amounts of Qi and we gain Qi through the foods we eat and the exercise we do. We loose Qi through improper diet and improper activates and maturely through age. When Qi is low, we become sick, when wear sick we loose even more Qi. When we are injured we loose Qi. When all of our Qi is gone, we die. In 1678 CE, Li Qing-Yun was born in Sichuan province of China.  He died in 1927 CE. He has been investigated by a number of people and the fact is, he was a practitioner of traditional Chinese Medicine and Qi gung exercises. The man lived 249 years. How? Through proper living and a deep understanding and commitment to Qi.  Do I use Qi? With every breath I take.  \n\nI suppose however you mean specific instances that are more...distinguishable? Yes! When I am driving late at night and become extremely tired, I pull over to the side of the road, focus my mind, do a few Qi Gung exercise and by concentrating my Qi, I keep myself awake. Likewise, when feel myself becoming sick, I do a few extra exercises and concentrate my Qi where needed and most of the time I keep myself from getting sick. Someday, when I master the art a Qi Gung, I hope that I will simply remain healthy all of the time. Perhaps I too will live to be nearly 250 years old. Who knows. All I do know is that I have been studying for many years and plan on continuing for the rest of my life. \n\nKeep practicing and I hope this info helps you.

I think that it is a very real thing.  As to the chances of it actually happening to me, I seriously doubt that will happen, but who knows!  Most cases probably have a contributing factor, such as falling asleep with a cigarette and making it seem like spontaneous combustion, but I think if Tibetan Monks can raise their body temperature through mind control, who's to say their internal thermostat might go on the fritz and kaboom....of course if Tibetan Monks can do it, then some other people might be able too without realizing that's what they're doing.

You are clearly very clairvoyant! I do have that ability as well but not as strongly as you do. It's funny that you've brought up this topic. On Saturday, I was speaking to two people on two separate occasions about the same topic! The first lady has abilities like what you described about yourself. She reads people and their energy for a living. She can also put your energy back into balance. She was telling me that I need to try to learn how to filter out the negative energy that I absorb from people. I know I'm very sensitive to people and the energy they have. (Good and bad). But lately I'm feeling drained. She picked that up from me and said I need to get back into balance. I need to learn how to not let others negative energy affect me the way it does sometimes because I'm so sensitive to it. There are some people that I meet or know and I try to have as little to do with them as possible because of the energy they possess and put out. They could have left the room, and I still feel odd to be in the same room they were just in. I've had many experiences regarding my senses to this kind of thing. It's cool to hear someone else who understands this sort of things. Many people don't have a clue about this or disregard it all together. It was nice to see your posting. You have a gift. Have a good day and God bless you!

not afraid, but definitely humbled and awed by its intensity. Mine seems stronger and more demanding than that of just about anyone I have met. It feels like a dragon that lives in me. We are on good terms but i am not always in control, you know?

There are some lovely meditations on the OSHO site.  They even have webcasting.  Take a look and enjoy...

Well, you may not feel effects at the moment but if you continue this habit then you might start feeling tired. Not to mention that it's bad on your eyes, wrists, and if your on the computer all the time, it only tells me your not out doing other things that you could be doing like exercising.

yes, it's happened to me but when it happens it just feels weird and really really different. I wonder if it's a completely different feeling than what we normally feel everyday. they should have a name for it besides de ja vu. its just weird. haha.

Whenever I do yoga it clears my mind.  If I'm feeling stressed out, I like to concentrate on my breathing and hold poses while perfecting the position.  It makes you feel calmer and energized. It keeps your spine straight and strong.  I also find when I'm doing yoga regularly, that my appetite is less.  Hope this is helpful.

Is the most horrible feeling ever, but you wont believe what happened to me, I had that feeling, and it caused me even to get insomnia, because I was paranoid about that feeling. One day I told a catholic priest about it, and he arranged a visit to my house, he told me that sometimes bad energy is concentrated in different places, and they needed to be clensed, so he did, he prayed, sprayed holy water, and prayed a little more. That night, I slept peacefully, the feelings were gone, and sweetie, let me tell you something, i am not even a Catholic... but that helped..

THE SAME WAY YOU KNOW YOUR EARTHLY PARENTS ARE HAPPY WITH YOU, WHEN YOU FOLLOW THEIR INSTRUCTIONS AND DO AS THEY DIRECT.  OUR HEAVENLY FATHER GAVE US A BOOK OF INSTRUCTIONS AND ALL WE ARE TO DO IS FOLLOW THEM AND THEREBY WE KNOW HE IS PLEASED WITH US.  I PERSONALLY FEEL HIS PRESENCE IN MY VERY SOUL AND I KNOW WHEN I HAVE GONE AGAINST HIS WILL BY THE WAY I FEEL INSIDE.  AGAIN, JUST AS YOU FEEL WHEN YOU DISOBEY A PARENT OR TEACHER.  THERE IS THAT LITTLE TUG INSIDE THAT LETS YOU KNOW YOU ARE GOING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION AND PULLS YOU BACK TO WALK IN THE PATH GOD HAS PLANNED FOR YOU.  IT'S JUST A MATTER OF KNOWING OF FEELING GOOD ABOUT YOUR CHOICES MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOD'S INSTRUCTIONS.

When I have felt God's presence it was usually with a lot of other believers during a time of prayer and meditation.  When I have been meditating by myself, or when I have been mentally going about some depressing fact and She steps in to bring me back to reality.\n- Oh yeah stopping to take a breath and look at Her beauty in the world also has made me feel God's Precence\n\nSo I think the key here is being open to feel God's presence.  Meditation helps, but I think most of it is being spiritual and open, having faith and taking the time to listen to what God may be saying.

Meditation is quite the joy! Yes, once you get past the initial mastering of the self, thoughts and blockages, its a sweet ride.\n\nMeditation has done a lot for me. Thanks to anon nature, I can frankly tell you I was quite a distraught fella, burdened and hopeless with no life: social or otherwise.\n\nMeditation opened up blocked chakras, re-energized the inner being through union of Kundalini and Spirit and stopped the buzz of the brain.\n\nMeditation brought humility of some good measure. Ability to understand and feel others. Ability to accept and be peaceful with belligerent people. Loosen up and see the humor behind it all.\n\nMeditation has done quite it's bit my transforming me and there is a long path to go before everything's close to perfection. But the joy should come from the start.\n\nHere is a good place to start, from the heart:\nhttp://www.sahajayoga.com.au/info/experience/default.asp.shtml

Natural Instinct. Something like a sixth sense with me. I follow it and it always normally right. The question is are you spritual? For a lot a people that is a driving factor

during meditation, there might be some little problems such as you said, muscular spasms, altered sensation, changes in your body image all can cause a problem like you have had.\nanyway, to be at the safe side , you'd better to check your heart too.\nmeditation is a very good tool for a nice life, but you must do it under the supervision of your teacher,because sometimes you may experience some problems that can not be solved by scientific knowledge , only a meditation expert can solve these problems.\ngood luck!

no meditation is relaxing and calming ,a search for the inner self ,\n\nif done incorrectly you will still be calm and relaxed ,but you may not find your inner self.
