It's been some years since I've practiced Chi Kung exercises. I have a question about what level or stage of Chi Power I am at with with my chi abilities.

When I was training in external martial arts I used to do a lot of deep chi breathing.  At one point in time, my palms would get extremely hot and turn red in appearance. Not only that, but also I moved a piece of plastic between my palms without touching. One day I threw Jing out (sexual energy) and dented a curtain about ten feet away.  Also my wife said she felt the energy and I didn't have to touch her.   This was all achieved without the help of a Sifu.

With these types of abilities could you tell me what chi energy level I'm at currently? Can you also teach me to master the burning palm technique? But of course, I would only want to use this technique for healing myself and others. Please help me out on this matter.

Thank you,
Randall Hutchinson

Our Answer to Randall...  Hello Randall,

You've discovered that learning a Chi Kung of external martial art had built up a type of chi energy. That sounds correct since most people who taken that path found chi in this way.  The type of chi energy you discovered happened based on learning a specific set of martial arts techniques for defensive & offensive fighting abilities that built up the same type of "chi energy" internally. That is why the type of chi energy or bio-energy that you built up in your body was linear with hot temperature and intense content (breath induced) attributes.

You've asked what level you are at with this type of chi energy based on your projection to move, dent and have another feel your chi projection.  We can tell from your question that your level of chi projection has plateaued since you have found no use for the chi beyond what you have experienced.

We can tell you that the linear hot chi that you've cultivated can be used to move objects or be used for destructive fighting techniques; however the price is high on your body and mind.  Think of it this way. What happens when you stick your finger in an electrical socket?  You get electrocuted. 

At first it feels like a tingly fuzzy feeling and then it quickly goes to not feeling so good because you've burnt yourself from the inside out.  This happens in the same way when linear chi is built up to high levels without temperature control and particular healing attributes.  It will be destructive chi energy.  Learning to build up energy with a cool temperature and good feeling attributes will make the energy have a healing benefit to you and another.
