The ancient sages sat in silence so as to observe the body and to learn how the energy circulated within them. They charted the channels of energy, the meridians. They created techniques to show how to manage the circulation of those energies which they called Chi Kung. Chi is the life force or vital energy and Kung means cultivation. This energy is alive, acting inside the body, and if we do not perceive it,  is because our channels of perception are blocked. It is our negative emotions that obstruct them. The first step of those techniques teaches how to transform negative emotions into pure energy. The second step  prepares the body to receive greater amounts of that vital energy.  Finally we learn how to multiply energy by transforming sexual energy into pure Chi, and circulate it through the meridians of the body.  There are numerous benefits: from a better balanced
quality of life,  and health,  to a greatly enhanced  immune system and longevity. All this is realised through breath work training,  structural posture training and the development of mind power through the use
of intention.
