Epic Training Session

  Today was one of the better training sessions I have had in a really long time. I got some form reps in some push ups,sit ups and had a really rare moment of Chi control. The type of moment that happens once or twice every five or so years for me. It was at the end of open training and I was about to do another form rep of my stick form when it happened. I could feel the chi flowing naturally in through my left hand and out of my right hand. I stood there in awe for a moment trying to understand what was happening when I finally realized what my body was doing. I dropped my staff and went to the mirror and attempted to manifest my chi on the mirror. A technique I have only been able to do a hand full of times in my entire career. What should happen with this technique is that you draw the chi in with one hand and expell it with the other hand against the mirror. What should happen is that it begins to fog up the mirror not where your hand is but above your hand. As you increase the chi flow the fog climbs higher and higher on the mirror. However it is not a constant climb, As you breath in and suck the chi the fog will retreat from the mirror as you exhale and concentrate the chi flow out of your hand it will climb. I worked on it for a few moments and when it started to happen I realized that this was going to be one of those rare moments. I decided to stop and rushed into the office to get the video camera but to no avail. I could not find it. I looked for a bit but I could feel the moment slipping and the control slipping away. I pumped out some push ups and sit ups to get everything flowing again and re attempted the technique. I was able to continue the practice for a bit until I was mentally fatigued and stopped. The proof of it being chi and not just radiant heat from the body in my opinion is the fact that it is controlled with breathing. When it is working really well you don't even need the breathing to control it.
   This was not the best time I have experienced this. The best time I was able to get it to climb to a hight of about two feet on the mirror and when I was done I left a hand print on the mirror. Not due to touching the mirror because in the technique you don't really touch the mirror you hold your had about an inch away from it as you attempt to push the chi into it. Im not really sure why it left a hand print or how that works but that time it did. The other times the most I get is a print where my  finger tips are and maybe some finger, thats what happened this time but the fog this time was only about six inches high. However Ill take it because I can only get the technique to actually work on rare occasions when the chi sensitivity and control seem to be naturally working.
     Its too bad there was no one at open training at the time to share the experience with, I have only been able to show one person so far and that was Tiffany. Thats how it goes tho, the people that show up are the same people that actually benefit from the experience. I would have loved to be able to share this experience with someone but hopefully next time I will get the opportunity.
