First day of tai chi, my vision started to cloud up as we began with the simplest qigong exercise, I started to see colors and stars and sound became fuzzy and blurry. I couldn't stand, my legs became more and more wobbly. Was every ounce of blood rushing to my head? It felt rather like VERY low blood sugar, but that wasn't it.

I had to kneel down on the floor before I passed out. Some guy asked me if I was okay. Through all the colors, I managed to describe my condition. He said with a lisp, "you're feeling the chi." Well, I had never heard of 'chi' before and this guy was dressed in tights and... well, I was like... 'yeaaahhh, okay.'

But I was intrigued, so I returned the next day. I have not regret it since!
