MessageJust like Kundalini Yoga can be considered 'extreme' Yoga. Taoist energy meditations are 'extreme' meditation. When you get it right, something happens, energy happens, and it can hurt or heal.
Many of us work without regular contact with teachers. That would simply be forbidden or impossible in the past. I assume people who have worked directly under Chia or one of his responsible teachers side step most of the problems and advance way quicker then the book reader.
Studying Aikido, I'd see books breaking down a throw into 8 pictures. We'd spend hours, even days working on what might be shown in one split second picture. Even sitting properly was assumed to take months of practice.
Books can be good. A seminar with a master is great. Regular practice under a quality teacher is priceless.
Peace
Michael
