Well lets put it this way. That feat is techinically superhuman what else are they capable of? If you're running a business that could scare you you dont want any comptetition messing up your ****

Of course it's fallible, but keep an open mind.

I do Tai Chi, and it is very good for ones health and mind, but not because it somehow mystically channels chi, which I have never encountered in it.

Theres nothing mystical about it. That depends on how good you are I highly doubt that you can dry towels in the freezing cold.

I personally have felt the heat generated by chi to such an extent that it feels like the heating has been siwtched on. Lots of people have also commented on the heat sensation, my point is somebody who is far superior could generate enough heat to dry a towel.

How powerful is your visualisation?

That is exactly it - I can't dry towels. Tai Chi is a big thing - very popular with the elderly as it is good for their health, popular with martial artists and sports people, popular with people of Chinese extraction, some corporations get people out in the park doing it in abreak and I haven't heard about Chi (the way you are describing it) from any of it.

When I first started learning the chap who led the group had being doing it for about 35 years (he's in his 60's) and is what I would consider a Tai Chi expert and he never mentions heating towels. You'd think at that level of dedication for so longer he'd be at least able to heat a cup of coffee that has gone cold.

I know of the sense of wellbeing it gives, and the proverbial warm glow, but that is a feeling, not an actual projection of some sort of chi power.

All this talk of chi and drying towels - now I've got this image of Goku and so DBZ guy getting into a battle of towel drying.

Well heres the thing. Chi takes a long time to develop. The reason why those guys were able to do what they did from my understanding is because not only had they been doing it for years but they meditate day and night.

From my understanding people often do tai chi at something like 2 hours a day. As far as I know the tibetan monks do 8 hours day.

Im a meditation fanatic and sometimes I meditate all day and night. I was talking to somebody in a chatroom who had been doing it for something like at least 20 years, at the time I had been doing it for 8 and from what he told me I wasnt far behind him. So from my understanding even if you do it for years sometimes yur still not that good.

I dunno I guess there are different techniques. At any rate I knew a Qi gong master and he said that he was bale to allow a big muscley guy punch him in the chest and he said it felt like pinches. Ive also seen him doing a qi gong posture and get hurled backwards as if an invisble force pushed him. So I guess maybe there are different levels.
