Training with Intention.
For several years I have practiced how one may exercise utilizing moving meditation & Qi (Japanese: Ki), as in Martial Arts and other disciplines
(such as in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shiatsu and others).
In Western terminology this could be called Bioenergetics.
In Yoga it is Prana.
Work with your Energetic Self. This act of focussed receptivity builds stamina and strength. This reality has been proven through studies within the armed forces in individuals who practice Meditation.
With Qi your training program will flourish & create true vitality.
