I dont see how it can be misconstrude as supernatural. To me its just part of the natural world. We are all made of energy and energy exists every where.

Some people just dont get what life energy is and how it can be channeled and used to improve the body and mind. I completely get and understand what you get out of TCC. Believe it or not overcoming dog behavior problems is based on the same concept. Watch the 'dog whisperer' on National Geographic channel and you will see there is a lot of similarities. <BR/><BR/><BR/>For people who doubt chi, I would like to know what they think makes us function? Without it we are truely dead. and thats no shit! Chi exists in all life and atmosphere. Without it our world would not exist. And thats no shit as well. <BR/><BR/>I wish I would have read this thread a while back. I tend to over look stuff on MA although I have wanted to take Tai Chi for some time now, its just that Im a better hands on learner than a read and learner. <BR/><BR/>Good way to discribe it! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20169168.post-1139113607998861352006-02-04T20:26:00.000-08:002006-02-04T20:26:00.000-08:00HMDK:What did Duke Nuke'em say?Oh yeah.
