and you are overreaching and superstitious. no one said it was 'mysterious' and what do you mean heal, harm or otherwise affect objects or people?
Ch'i, unlike other forms of energy such as heat, light, electricity, or kinetic apparently cannot be detected or measured by anything other than the people who claim it exists. This would make it rather mysterious, as in unknown and unusual, not superstitious.
Ch'i is also reputedly used or manipulated to heal (such as with acupuncture), harm (as in the video), or affect objects or people (as in practice of Taijiquan).
oh btw, 'leaking energy' was funny.
Actually, it's quite literal. The human body does not produce energy. We consume energy in the form of food, metabolize it into more readily accessible forms that our cells can use, and then the cells use it to perform work. During these processes energy escapes the body unused, primarily in the form of heat. In other words, it leaks.
obviously energy has an effect on it's surroundings. if it weren't so, people wouldn't be affected by moods or energies.
What sorts of energies are you referring to? Light, heat, electricity?
there is no use in arguing with people that get so literal as to be blind to common sense. this is like the extreme polar obtuse of thiest idiocy. lol
If you use imprecise terms you get misunderstanding. If you're merely speaking figuratively, then sure Ch'i exists as a vague concept with very little correlation to the physical world. So does Santa Claus. So are you speaking figuratively or literally when you say that Ch'i exists?
interesting no one addressed the staring at the back of someone's head. no doubt one would say it was just a coincidence they turned to look behind though it wasn't people can feel 'energies'. evidently none of you have any life experience. lol
I'm sure we all have but your description is a bit sparse. If you walked into the room and the stood and stared at someone the most likely explanation was that they heard you come in and stop and turned around to look. Even if you came in silently, your presence behind the person can cause sound waves to change their pattern signifying a change or presence in the room. If you were in a room with multiple people (such as a classroom) the person may have noticed (consciously or unconsciously) the movements and glances of other people in the room and turned to look at what they were reacting to. We are typically unaware of all the data pouring in through all our senses every second, even though our brains are still processing and interpreting this data. Or even more likely is the fact that if you stare at someone long enough, eventually you will see them turn and look around, people just tend to do that every so often.
Mostly the problem is that whenever these things are tested in a controlled setting these Ch'i related abilities seem to disappear. Prana healing no longer works, psychics can no longer see auras, read thoughts, or detect emotions, Taijiquan masters can no longer toss people around a room without touching them, Acupuncture has no effect beyond the physical insertion of needles into the body, and as in the video people don't get knocked out.
But, you know, maybe they were raising their big toes up. :bugeye:
