Etheric Body
The etheric body is
made up of the Chakras, Meridans, and the Aura.
The Chakras are the major parts because these are the areas that are responsible
for the dilverment of Ki to various parts of the human body. There are a total
of 7of them. I will explain them below.
The Crown Chakra this one is at the top of the head and if not enough ki is given it is almost imposible to aquire knowledge of the universe.
The Brow Chakra
This one is located on the forehead right above the eyes. Also known as the
third eye. When this is blocked you are unable to use any extra powers which
includes seeing Auras and energy.
The Throat Chakra
This one is located at the throat and is the house to basic communication skills
such as written, oral , mental. So if blocked it is hard to communicate with
those around.
The Heart Chakra
This on is located above the breast and in the center of the chest.If this is
blocked it is hard to make right and just decisions and to love other. Because
it controls the knowledge, love and wisdom of the body.
The Solar Plexus
Chakra
This is around the naval. It is the center point for other people to manipulate
the energy flow in your body.If this part of the body is not getting enough ki
others can easily steal and take your energy.
The Spleen Chakra
This is in the abdominal area and house the energy for and during interactions
with others. So if Blocked it is harder to inter with others.
The Hara Chakra
This located three inches from the navel(belly button). This is the main
storeage place of ki is in our bodys and if unbalanced a lot of problems will
occur. This is where you will store your energy. The hara is also the center
point of the body.
Chi Kung litterally
translates into breathing. This section is particularly for people that already
know a basis of chi kung. Don't worry if you are new. I've listed things that I
think you should know. Ki would fall under this category, so for exercises in
energy manipulation go to the ki sections. Chi kung helps you live longer and
helps make your ki more powerful. Chi kung has also been known to cure certain
ailments.
Energy Breathing
First you need to know how to breath correctly. When you inhale,inhale with your
mouth close and put the top of your tongue and touch the roof of your mouth.When
you exhale, exhale through your mouth and place your tongue on the bottom of
your mouth.That's how you breath right. Now to the actual exercise.You can
either sit or stand, which ever feels more comfortable to you. If you stand do
so with you legs apart at shoulder length.If you sit do so indian style.As you
breath in,breath in deep and bring energy from the earth into your body. Have it
flow through your body, filling you with it's strength.As you exhale have it
flow back into the earth to be recycled. Do this for about ten minutes or as
long as you feel like.Note:I owe the main basis of this to MisteryShadow.
Meditation
This is different way to meditate than in the meditating section. Sit in a
comfortable position. Now Start the energy breathing exercise above but this
time just let the energy flow through you and into the earth. I visualize the
earths energy as a green colored stream going into me and filling me with it's
grace. Continue this for 10-15 minutes.If your a beginner i recommend start at 5
and when you feel comfortable with that move to 10.
Energy Manipulation
Exercise
Once you've gotten down the things above you should start to practiceing
controling energy. First you will make a ki ball. To make a ki ball all you need
to do is get in a standing posistion. Place your hands out in front of you and
cup your hands so that it looks like you are holding an invisible ball. Now
start the energy breathing exercise but when you inhale bring energy up into
your dan tien and whenk you exhale focus the energy to go up into your arms and
out into the space between your hands. Now on your next inhale focus on the
energy in between your hands and bring even more energy up into you.Now as you
exhale focus that energy to the ball. Keep doing this until you think you've got
the ball strong enough.Then make the ball into any shape you want. You do this
by willing it to become what you want, visualize it happening and it will. Get
good at this because this skill in energy manipulation will come in handy when
you become more advanced.
If your not in a Martial Art I urge you to get into one. Martial Arts teach you
a lot. Martial Arts are a way of life, they can lead you in a new direction.
With the application of ki into martial arts I have became both a better person
and fighter. If one uses Ki with martial arts it is possible to become an Elite
or Ultimate fighter. This is because through the use of ki you become faster,
stronger, more agile, and all around a better fighter. Below I'll list some
moves in various martial arts and list some that I know and practice. These
moves are for self-defense or training, not to be used in starting
fights.(Webmasters Note:
Remebering that these moves when done properly can seriously injury someone,
even more so with ki so use in the right way
List of Martials I practice:
Boxing
Hsing-I Kung fu
I incorperate ki into these. I am mostly taught in boxing, but I blend my own style of boxing/Hsing-I kung fu. Which I must admit is pretty good. For the Boxing part. I have learned/am learning from my father, which use to be a professional boxer and was taught very well. For Hsing-I kung fu I am taking classes for it and it is really good, I recommend getting into hsing-i kung fu. Now Some Moves:
Jab
Get into your fighting stance, this is the most basic punch there is and should
be really good even if you kick more often.Now you just punch straight put when
you draw your fist back keep it up, if you let your arm go down after you punch
you are left open so watch it.
Hook
Hooks are pretty simple to learn and perform. They create a good amount of
damage even if blocked. Now punch like a jab but this time twist your body. This
will add power to your punch.
Uppercut
The dreaded uppercut is a easy but powerful move. Now all you do is draw your
arm back a little making the fist lower and than come back in an upward motion.
Anywhere way these punches land will be effective. If you get the chance in a
fight the best place is underneath the chin which will daze of make your
opponent stumble.
Tips for Punching
-Punching from an angle will be very effective
-Use Ki with your punches(makes them a lot stronger up to three times as much
power, maybe more)
Kicking Moves:
Kicks, in my opinion aren't very good especially high quicks,but low kicks are
okay. Kicks are mainly for distracting someone.
Snap Kick
To do a snap kick you bend your knee and raise it then release it into the front
of your opponent. Aim for the face and stomach for more effectiveness.
Side Kick
You do this by moveing/twisting your body and then releasing the leg to the side
of your opponent. Remember bend your knee then twist and release into the side.
Front Kick
Raise your knee infront of you and then lean back a little and release your leg
to the front of your opponent. Leaning back will give you a farther reach, but
don't lean back to far or you can lose your balance.
Tips for Kicking
-When you kick use ki.
-Attack the vital areas like the stomach, chin/face, dan tien(storage center for
ki), other chakras.
For takedowns and holds its kind of hard to explain in words,so thats why I have
none up.
Sparring
Sparring is use to practice what you have learned in a fight or in a martial art
with a person. There are different kinds of sparring types or ways to do it.
Theres point non-contact, point contact sparring, light contact sparring, heavy
contact sparring, defensive, and others. Those are the ones that I know. I
haven't actually done point sparring just regular light contact sparring. And if
you think that light contact sparring is weak you certainly haven't with good
people then. When ki is applied to sparring things heat up. One thing to
remember a sparring match isn't a street brawl, so don't try to take off each
others heads, especially if you are friends.
If you want point score and regulations for sparring and point sparring
