Thanks for the post gallen. I had some thoughts on the three types of energy practice, but didn't feel comfortable commmenting.
One source I had indicates that you work in one energy form (medical, martial, or spiritual). However, Master Lin says that energy is energy; it is not good or bad, it is just what our intention direct it to be / do. So the idea of martial and medical energy work have been riding around in the back of my thoughts right from the beginning of my SFQ experience.
I was siding with the idea that I could work with energy for whatever purpose I chose. I realized that accessing energy through love for a martial purpose would be hard, if possible at all. I also understand that did not want to put my thoughts in to what I label as negative energy like anger, hate, resentment, and a desire to desrtoy. I currently don't do any martial arts but have long wanted to learn a specific practice. It just hasn't happened yet. I had envision sensing energy from, or accessing and using energy from a quiet peaceful state.
I've always envisioned that martial practice was better done from a peaceful state, not one rooted in anger and directed to destroy.
My left brain says that accessing energy is acessing energy. Using is using it.
Another part of me says that I can access my true potential, and this will involve a significant about to access universal energy, by following the path that is right for me. This path is label with peace and love.
Spiritual and medical, or spiritual and martial seem like easier blends of energy work than medical and martial. However, my left brain says there should not be a difference.
Just some of my ramblings. Ideas that are not fully rooted.
You are perfection.
