Lots of amazing information here and a couple of things jump out at me I would like to try and briefly share from my own experiences. Yes it is agreed that energy is energy and most importantly what we do with it ultimately has a cause and effect out come.
I have studied many forms of both qigong and martial arts and have had many lessons with both. Medical qigong can be extremely complicated and physically demanding but has its benefits both energetically, physically and spiritually. Same thing with martial arts there are many systems out there and unfortunately a lot have to do with ego. So ultimately on your spiritual path you want to find what resonates with you.
There are many systems out there that have a more spiritual twist to it so a little research may be required for those seeking Tai Chi or systems of the like. Sometimes we don’t realize the gem we have because we are so close to it. SFQ has been put together to simplify qigong for the layman but it should definitely not be taken for granted. Master Lin put together a system that is incredible and touches upon so many aspects of our well being in subtle but powerful ways.
I’m sounding like a sales man but am not meaning to. I think the point I am trying to make is that when you connect with anything spiritually soothing to your soul you begin to open up a part of you that is greater than the physical. With that connection a natural protection opens up within our consciousness. Meaning that you will not need to worry about a potential conflict situation because you will be guided away from conflict or potential disaster. Weather that means your intuition kicks in or fate or whatever you will find that you have a protection around you. This is a natural result of your commitment to self healing and the healing of others. It is sort of an inevitable by product of your intentions on your chosen path and I have now realized my briefly has gotten long winded again. Anyway yet another moment of sharing my garbled ramblings.
Love & light
