Become Strong, Board 8
Once a year, Kuge makes a topic (preferably after the end of contest season so new users who stay in the offseason will be able to find it) that goes on to discuss how regular joes are able to go from "ordinary" to "extroadinary".
The tradition began back in 2006, and has appeared once a year ever since.
It is completely unknown on whether or not Kuge actually is serious when he talks about this stuff, he has posted links of people using it but at the same time he talks as if it's a joke.
Background Information on Chi[]
Beginner Terminology[]
Ki (or Chi) - Ki is the energy used to make Ki balls and beams. Ki cannot show physical effects of the damage.
Jing - Jing is Ki, enhanced. Jing is not compacted Ki. Jing can show physical effects.
Tan-tien - Your tan-tien is located in the middle of the waistline, about 5cm in. This is the storage center for Ki. Otherwise known as the dan-tien, don tien, hara, dan tien and many more.
However, there is a way to actually turn "Ki" into "Jing" to create the optimal result into obliterating your opponent in battle. Chuck Liddel, eat your heart out.
Don't believe me?

History []
In the past, the monks were the first people to practice mediatation and breathing exercises to make the area around them a better place.
Ki is the energy all around us and our inner power. Most people do not know of Ki. They see it in their everyday lives but do not recognise it as Ki. With Ki, you can make balls, beams, enhance your performance and even make objects with it. The possibilities are endless.
It is highly recommended that you practice N.E.W before you practice with Ki. NEW is the control of energy inside of you and outside of you. Another technique I suggest you practice is aura seeing. These will strongly shorten the time to make a Ki ball and also to make it more powerful.
Observations
- Ki cannot be created or destroyed. It is transferred and moved about. So from now on, when I say "Create a Ki ball", I mean transfer energy to make it into a ball.
- Ki moves extremely fast. If you turn off the lights so the room is dark, you will see tiny dots or 'fuzz'. These move about extremely fast. One moment one Ki is in one spot, the next, it is in another spot.
- Ki radiates off Ki balls and beams. So it is best to fire it as soon as possible.
- When a Ki blast is fired at a wall, your body feels tension to move back. When you end the Ki blast, the tension goes. So it must be the Ki.
- When a Ki blast is fired at a wall, it separates and surrounds where the blast is hitting.
- Ki follows intention. So if you want it to turn around, it will turn around.
To practice with Ki, you need to believe in it fully. If you do not, it will make your subconscious believe it isn't, thus making it nearly impossible to do. You also need a high stature of concentration and visualization. Here are some exercises that will help you.
Exercises[]
Concentration exercises - Stare at a candle's flame in the dark. Turn around so you get an after image. Try and concentrate on it so you make it remain for longer and longer. DO IT! NOW!
Get an object and place it in front of you. Stare at it and concentrate on it for a long time. You might get a bit bored after a while, but it will improve your concentration greatly. GLARE DAMMIT
Visualization exercises - Visualize an object in front of you. Try to sustain this object for as long as you can without losing focus. This can also improve your concentration. KEEP GLARING!!!
Visualize a person in front of you. It could be a friend or family. Try chatting to this person. Like an imaginary friend. Visualize the person acting like a real one. YOU ARE NOT CRAZY!!!
Other Tips/Advice
- Stay relaxed.
- Totally believe in Ki or else it will take longer than needed.
- Don't force things. It will happen in it's own time.
- Try some concentration and visualization exercises.
- Have a day for relaxation.
- Do aura seeing and N.E.W.
Techniques/Moveset[]
NOOB TECHNIQUES[]
Ki ball (*) (any method) (*) = Learn first before moving up
Step 1 - Put your hands into a cupped shape. Do this by putting both wrists together, both index fingers together and opposite fingers together.The other cupped shape is this: put your hands over each other like a letter r. Put your most dominant hand on the top and put your fingers together. Put your fingers on the back of the opposite hand.
Step 2 - Visualize a blue ball of pure Ki in your tan-tien. You can either do this by looking down or picture it in your mind.
Step 3 - Now visualize it turning to a soft, flowing mass of Ki. It no longer takes the ball shape. Visualize it flowing around your tan-tien.
Step 4 - Now visualize the river flowing up your chest, and splitting into two rivers below your neck, and each river going down each arm and being stored in your palm/hand.
Step 5 - Now visualize it flowing out of your palms and forming a pure blue ball in the centre of your cupped hands. At this point you may feel tingling, pressure, heat or any other sensation.
If you feel a continuous sensation, you have made a Ki ball. If you just feel a short sensation, keep training and practicing.
Ki ball 2
Step 1 - Put your hands in front of your tan tien so they are facing each other. Do not cup your hands. There should be a hand either side of your tan tien.
Step 2 - Visualize a blue Ki ball with a white core in between your palms.
This technique is probably the easiest to do, and you get results straight from a few tries.
Ki flame (*)
Step 1 - Visualize a ball of blue Ki in your tan-tien. The more you want to power up, the bigger the ball should be. The average is about 10cm X 10cm.
Step 2 - Put your arms up in the air with clenched fists.
Step 3 - Now you have to thrust your elbows downwards so it is you are elbowing domeone, but vertically. While doing this, visualize the Ki ball exploding all over your body. So thrusting your elbows down is like a trigger or a detonator. Don't worry, it wont hurt you. It is your Ki so it does not harm you.
If your sight goes a bit fuzzy, the Ki flame has worked. Or you might need glasses
Spirit up (*) ...ULTIMATE POWAH!!
Visualize your body filling up with pure, blue Ki. A bit like a bottle gets filled up with drink, if you like. Continue this until your whole body is 'full'. This will improve the energy flow in your body making it easier to move energy around.
Grounding (*)
Step 1 - Stand with your feet shoulder width apart.
Step 2 - Imagine you have roots coming out of your feet and going down into the earth.
Step 3 - Visualize energy flowing up the roots and forming a ball in your tan tien.

Gathering energy (*) (any method)
Step 1 - Put your palms out in front of you.
Step 2 - Totally relax.
Step 3 - Visualize Ki flowing through the air, into your palms, going down to your tan tien and finally getting stored in there.

Ki absorbing shield (*)
Step 1 - Make a Ki shield.
Step 2 - Turn the Ki shield into sponge. It should now look like a hollow ball of sponge in your head. It's just that simple!

Step 7 - Visualize a string connecting that palm and the 'drill'.
Step 8 - Move your palm around. The Ki drill should follow it.
Step 9 - Move the drill around until it fits onto the shield.
Step 10 - The drill will automatically merge itself with the shield making the shield have a spike.
You can make more than 1 spike, or you can make the spike bigger. You can poke someones eye out with that kid.
Ki beam (*) Aww yeah now the good stuff
Step 1 - Put your hand out with your palm facing the target.
Step 2 - Create a Ki ball inside of your wrist.
Step 3 - Flatten it out will your will power and visualization.
Step 4 - Move it along to just inside your palm. Again, do this with your will power and visualization.

Power level sensing (*)
Step 1 - Visualize some liquid Ki in your tan tien.
Step 2 - Now visualize the Ki flowing out of your tan tien and touching the other person's tan tien. You should get a 'thud' in your stomach. The harder the 'thud', the stronger the person. If it's over 9000, you might soil your pants.
Ki object scanning (*)
This technique is hard to explain, but ill try my best.
Step 1 - Totally relax and stay calm.
Step 2 - Close your eyes.
Step 3 - Visualize the object you want to find in your mind.
Step 4 - You should soon have a feeling or a picture of the object and it's background in your head.
This technique is useful for finding lost items. It takes a while to master, but it is worth it. I do this at clubs and find the biggest **** around.
Ki information scanning
Step 1 - Totally relax.
Step 2 - Visualize a bar of light scanning the person's body. Up and down, the full length of his/her body.
Step 3 - While doing this, think about the information you want to get out of him/her.

This technique might not work the first few times, but as you progress with this technique, the more defined the information becomes.
Ki people sensing (*)
Step 1 - Totally relax.
Step 2 - Let your Ki out and make it cover the whole room.
You will get a feeling where they are. This is particularly useful for playing hide and seek. You will most likely do this technique successfully on your first try, but if not, keep practicing. It doesn't work as much when you are alone.
Ki healing (*) (any method)
Step 1 - Put your palm over the injured part.
Step 2 - Visualize Ki coming out of your palm and covering the wound, filling the gaps if there is any.
Step 3 - Visualize the Ki sinking into the skin.
You will need to use this technique on a wound a lot to make it heal faster. It will not heal instantly like in DBZ, it takes time. But the time it takes for a wound to heal normally is longer than with Ki healing. I've done this countless times to cover up bruise marks <_<
Ki healing #2
Step 1 - Put your hand over the wound.
Step 2 - Visualize all of the black energy flowing out of the wound and disintegrating in the air.
Step 3 - Fill the wound with your pure white Ki.
The pain should of stopped and the cut will heal faster than normal.
Ki shower healing

Step 2 - Put it on the shower head.
Step 3 - Turn the shower on.
Step 4 - Take a shower.
When you come out of the shower, you will feel refreshed.
Mind training (*)
Step 1 - Close your eyes and totally relax.
Step 2 - Imagine you are fighting someone who is about the same Ki level as you. You could be in a martial arts tournament or a field. Try to be realistic!! That means no big explosions and doing stuff you couldn't normally do. This will only slow the training process down. That is, unless you can really do it (not yet)
After training for about 20 hours (spread out), you will begin to notice differences. Like when people walk past you, you will sense them. When someone tries to punch you, you will sense it coming. Especially if you deserve it.
Quick dash This is not so much of a Ki technique, but it will help you in battle!
Step 1 - Cross your feet over while standing up. If you want to dash to the right, cross your right foot over so the right ankle of your right foot touches the left ankle of your left foot.
Step 2 - Jump to the right as hard as you can. You should go further and further with practice. The feet position helps to streamline the air.
INTERMEDIATE TECHNIQUES[]
Kamehameha (*) (THAT'S RIGHT! IT'S GO TIME!)
Step 1 - Stand with your feet shoulder width apart.
Step 2 - Put your hands in a cupped shape to the side of you. Like you were doing a Ki ball to the side of you.

Step 3 - Place Ki in both palms.
Step 4 - Put your hands above your head.
Step 5 -Thrust your hands down towards your target and visualize a Ki beam coming out from the front palm. This should be like two Ki blasts in one because one palm is backing up the other.
Ki weapon (I prefer sexy weapons)
Step 1 - Get a stick or a pole.
Step 2 - Hold it in your hands so it is vertical.
Step 3 - Bring your Ki out of your tan tien and fill the stick or pole with Ki.
Step 4 - Drop the solid weapon and you should now have a Ki version of the weapon you were holding. You can swing it about as you would normally do with a solid weapon. You must concentrate on it all the time, though, or else it will disappear.
Burning knuckle (*)
Step 1 - Bring the fist you are going to punch with back.
Step 2 - Fill the fist with Ki. Do this until it is engulfed in a Ki flame.
Step 3 - Punch your opponent and release the Ki in your fist as a blast.
Step 4 - Keep your fist digging into your opponent. Keep pushing harder and harder, with the blast still going.
Caution: This move will cause vomit of blood and maybe even paralysis. Use this technique as a last resort.
Body duplication (*)
Step 1 - Fill your body with Ki as you would with the 'Spirit up' move.
Step 2 - Step two steps to the side.
Step 3 - Concentrate on the figure of Ki which is next to you. Make it stronger and more dense.
Step 4 - You now have a duplicate of your body, but in Ki. It will do everything you do, but opposite e.g. You punch left, he punch right. Like a mirror, if you like. It get's very sexy when it comes to threesomes, *wink*
Gigantic Ki blast
Step 1 - Put your hands in a '<' shape. The larger the angle, the more Ki needed to perform the attack and the more damage it does.
Step 2 - Bring Ki from your tan tien and store it in each palm.
Step 3 - Block up the palms and add more Ki so it is pressurized. Do this for ages.
Step 4 - Remove the blocks. The Ki should shoot out of your palms like a rocket and there should now be a beam of Ki that is a < shape, depending on the angle before.
This attack will take a lot of energy out of you, so be careful. This attack is very powerful and may destroy the target all together if practiced enough...with no consequences.
Ki Group healing (*) (White Mage style)
Step 1 - Stand with your feet shoulder width apart.
Step 2 - Get all of the people that want to be healed to stand around you in a circle.
Step 3 - Visualize yourself as a water fountain, but instead of water coming out, visualize Ki coming out. This Ki flows like a river and goes into the people's bodies via their tan tien.
All of the people who were standing around you will feel refreshed after the technique and will want to touch you :D.
Dragon bite (*)
Step 1 - Focus your Ki to your palm.
Step 2 - Visualize a chinese-style dragon coming out of your palm, flowing over to the opponent and biting a part of his body really hard. This attack must be done on skin to take effect. This attack does most damage on the wrists.
If done correctly, the opponent will feel a really strong shock in the part of the body that was bitten.
Flame ball (*)
Step 1 - Put your palm to the side of you with your arm outstretched and your palm facing upwards.
Step 2 - Make a Ki ball but visualize it as a flaming ball. It will not hurt you, as it is your Ki.
On the first few times, you will probably see some flashes of red, but nothing too much. As you progress you will see more.
Healing touch (*)
Step 1 - Point the index finger and the middle finger to the sky.
Step 2 - Draw Ki from all around you to the fingers. Shut your eyes if need be. This should look like waves of energy drawing in like a radar sends out.
Step 3 - When you think you have enough energy in your two fingers, place your two fingers over the pain and let the energy flow out in waves.
Step 4 - See in your mind (eyes shut) the color red as the pain and the color yellow as the healing energy. The longer you apply the healing, the longer the pain will be gone.
Long range healing (*)
If the person is about 700 miles away you will need high willpower.(haki)
Step 1 - Make the person place both hands on the source of the pain is. If they have a pain in their chest, put them on their chest.
Step 2 - Make them shut their eyes and let them see you as a ghostly like form in front of them placing your hands in front of theirs. Both people should imagine this.
Step 3 - Now see the energy passing through your hands and through theirs to the source of the pain. While you are doing this have the other person keep in mind the color red (pain) slowly being faded away by the color yellow (healing).
You must have a good focus or else the technique might not work as well as it should.
Destructo disc (*)
Step 1 - Raise your hand in the air with your palm facing upwards.
Step 2 - Visualize a vortex of yellow Ki in your palm spinning over 400 times a second. This is your palm chakra.
Step 3 - Create a Ki ball above your spinning palm chakra. The Ki ball should start spinning with the chakra. So now you should be holding a Ki ball that is spinning over 400 times a second.
Step 4 - Flatten the Ki ball out into a disc with your will power and visualization. The spinning itself will flatten it out by itself, so that should help you.
Step 5 - Throw your hand with the disk in forwards as fast as you can and visualize the spin disk leaving your hands and going through your opponent.
Try not to get cut yourself while throwing it. I once cut my wang with this attack because I underestimated the size of it (tee hee). It hurts lots, so don't be stupid enough to try it. When this attack cuts, because it is Ki and not a physical object, the wound wont bleed. It will just disintegrate the skin. It will heal like a normal wound, so don't worry if it does happen.
ADVANCED TECHNIQUES[]
Final Flash (*)
Step 1 - Stand with your feet shoulder width apart.
Step 2 - Clench your fists and put your arms straight, either side of you. Like a letter T.
Step 3 - Visualize liquid Ki in your tan tien.
Step 4 - Bring your arms up above your head so your fists are touching above your head.
Step 5 - Visualize a blockage in your wrists. This can be anything solid. Like a piece of wood or a coin.
Step 6 - Bring energy up to the blockage. Keep doing this until your arm is shaking rapidly because of the pressure.
Step 7 - Bring your arms down and shout "Final...Flash...ATTACK!!!". Open your clenched fists so your palms are facing the target. Visualize the pressure getting too much for the block and pushing the block out of your palms to the target at amazing speeds with the Ki blast following it. This beam should go through the target to cause damage.
This attack will leave your opponent gasping for air. This isn't DBZ where you ruin the planet, you just **** your opponent up.
Spirit bomb (*)
Step 1 - Stand with your feet shoulder width apart.
Step 2 - Raise your hands above you with your palms facing upwards.
Step 3 - Create a Ki ball above these palms.
Step 4 - Ask and think "Plants, earth, animals, spirits, please give me your power.". Some things will help you, others won't. Don't force them to, if you do, that's molestment. Do this until your whole body vibrates vigorously. The Ki ball will grow and grow.
The biggest I have got this is as big the jp. The big spirit bomb is extremely hard to move, so be cautious.

Step 1 - Stand with your feet shoulder width apart.
Step 2 - Clench your fist of your most dominant hand.
Step 3 - Hold it in the air so you can see it.
Step 4 - Visualize liquid Ki in your tan tien.
Step 5 - Move this Ki into the fist which you are holding up in the air. Do it until your fist is engulfed in a Ki flame.
Step 6 - Move your fist around in the air to make a circle. Do this three times. When it moves, visualize it leaving a trail of Ki. This should make the halo.
Step 7 - Clench your other fist and put it the other side of the halo.
Step 8 - Think and say "Ki halo controlled by fists".
Step 9 - Move your fists around, always making the gap in between equal. You now have control of the halo.
Step 10 - Move it forward to your target by visualization and will power.
Step 11 - Bring it down over the target. When you want it to decrease in size, decrease the gap between your fists and visa versa.
Step 12 - Slam your fists together so they make a 'clip' sound. The Ki halo will of now cut the target's Ki in half. You can just crush the target's Ki for a while to make more damage.
Nova ball (This technique needs to be done outside in the sunshine.)
Step 1 - Put your hands in a cupped position as you would normally do with a Ki ball.
Step 2 - Get energy from the sun. Visualize the energy flowing in multiple streams and forming a ball in your hands. The energy must flow really slowly, like honey, that is what gives this technique it's power. This energy from the sun is called 'Light matter'. It is particularly useful for fighting evil, or cold, or dark.
Step 3 - Put some of your own Ki in it, so you can control it.
Step 4 - Shoot it as you would normally would.
This technique is very powerful, so please be careful.
Ki magnet blast
Step 1 - Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, facing the opponent.
Step 2 - Put both of your hands next to each other, with your palms facing the opponent. You should now look like a letter 'r'.

Step 5 - Visualize Ki flowing towards the magnet and hovering in front of it.
Step 6 - Use your will power and visualization to make the magnet spin around clockwise. This will cause the Ki attracted by the magnet to spin as well.
Step 7 - Bring Ki up to your palms.
Step 8 - Fire the Ki out of you palms like a Ki blast. The magnet will move with the force of the Ki blast, and the Ki attracted by the magnet will move as well. When the attack hits the opponent, the magnet will hit first, causing damage and attracting more Ki from him/her to join the Ki behind the magnet. Then the attracted Ki will hit, causing more damage. Finally, the Ki blast will hit him/her causing EVEN MORE damage. ULTIMATE DAMAGE TOTAL YO!
This attack will most definitely make your opponent unable to get up, never mind fight. Do not let the magnet attract too much Ki or else the attack might damage the internal system of the opponent, unless that's your intention.
Pillar drive
Step 1 - Stand with your feet shoulder width apart.
Step 2 - Put your hand up so your palm is facing the opponent. Your body should look like a letter 'r'.
Step 3 - Bring Ki up from your tan tien and store it in your wrist.

Step 5 - Push all of the Ki that you stored through this circle so the Ki takes form as a pole. You can make the pole as long or short as you like.
Step 6 - Make the pole hover horizontally in front of your palm.
Step 7 - Put your other hand up so the palm of that hand is facing the pole. Your hands should now be next to each other with your palms facing the pole.

Step 10 - Now move it above the target's head.
Step 11 - Now the good part... Slam your hands down really fast. The pole will slam down through the target's body and hurt like hell.
You can make the pole as wide or as long as you want, but keep in mind that if you make it bigger in any way, it will be harder to control. And yes, that's what she said.

This attack is VERY powerful so please do not use just for fun. SO DON'T LAUGH WHEN YOU DO THIS!
Questions[]
How do I know I have made the Ki ball?
Different people feel different sensations while holding a Ki ball. The main one is pressure. Nearly all of the other people feel tingling. The next common ones are: temperature, pressure and buzzing in the ears, although that could be Vertigo..
Practice, on what? We talkin bout practice, not a game, but practice!
After doing a successful Ki blast, you will most definitely be wanting to try it out on things. The most easiest thing to move with a Ki blast is... toilet paper. Just hang it down lots from the roll and fire a Ki blast at it. If it stays continuously moving, you have done it correctly.
Then try it on a floating balloon. Fire a Ki blast at it and it should fly backwards a bit. You can then go onto thicker objects. The thicker they are, the harder to effect them. If you have a pet, you could try it on that. But if you get strong enough, Mr. Bigglesworth might not live to see your final flash :(
Eventually, you could try it on humans. Your friend would be an ideal person to pick, as he/she would be understanding. Well, do it to a "friend" I should say, hehehe :).
You can use Ki to better perform
There are numerous Ki techniques that enhance your performance. They do this by storing energy in your muscles, making them work for longer. Here are some examples
Running - Ki in your calf and thigh muscles.
Jumping - Ki in your calf and thigh muscles.
Throwing - Ki in your whole arm and stand completely still until you feel the urge to throw it.
Swimming - Ki in your whole arms, your feet and your thigh muscles.
Punching - Ki in your top half of your arm and your fists.
Kicking - Ki in your thigh and feet muscles.
Burnout
Yes, just like exercising nonstop, burnout happens. A burnout happens when you run out of energy from doing a powerful technique or attempt a technique that far surpasses your ability. You know when you are in the burnout state because you feel physically exhausted and not able to do things that you would be able to before. When in the burnout state, you cannot do any Ki attacks or training or else you will get worse and your performance will be less anyway, so I suggest you rest until it goes away. If you could do a Ki ball previously and cannot after a while, this might be the cause. Try some energy gathering techniques every so often.
Training
You should always follow a training schedule when Ki training. This helps your energy body to realize when to 'open up'. You could have, say... 30 minutes a day with and from that you use 15 minutes for Ki ball training, 10 minutes Ki technique training and the other 5 minutes rest. It's like you have a real life stamina bar.

Types of Energies
Chi: The universal spiritual energy of all living beings.
Ki: Same thing as chi.
Psi: The mental energy that flows through your nerves. Psi is needed to move Ki. So every bit of Ki there is, there is psi inside it.
Mana: Energy used from plants (also used in witchcraft).
Jing: Inner energy which is a more powerful version of Ki.
Light Matter: Energy used by the good people that defeat evil with this energy.
Dark Matter: Energy gathered by evil and darkness.
Shen: The Mystical energy of of " Last resorts " . When a limit break hits you feel this.
We will get to limit break and whatnot down the road. I can't give you guys all of this knowledge right away. Although I might talk about Chakra's next, Naruto style? Heh.
Chakra[]
(Picture) http://vvcap.net/db/nuFOrzi4K9hFjDYnq4XU.jpg
A chakra is an energy vortex that collects in energy at night when you are asleep to 'top up' on energy for the next day. You have 7 major chakras and over 300 minor ones.Your chakras rotate clockwise if healthy and stable, and anti-clockwise if they are unwell and unstable. From the picture, here are the chakras and what they do:
Chakra One: Earth, Physical identity, oriented to self-preservation
Located at the base of the spine, this chakra forms our foundation. It represents the element earth, and is therefore related to our survival instincts, and to our sense of grounding and connection to our bodies and the physical plane. Ideally this chakra brings us health, prosperity, security, and dynamic presence.
Chakra Two: Water, Emotional identity, oriented to self-gratification
The second chakra, located in the abdomen, lower back, and sexual organs, is related to the element water, and to emotions and sexuality. It connects us to others through feeling, desire, sensation, and movement. Ideally this chakra brings us fluidity and grace, depth of feeling, sexual fulfillment, and the ability to accept change.
Chakra Three: Fire, Ego identity, oriented to self-definition
This chakra is known as the power chakra, located in the solar plexus. It rules our personal power, will, and autonomy, as well as our metabolism. When healthy, this chakra brings us energy, effectiveness, spontaneity, and non-dominating power.
Chakra Four:Air, Social identity, oriented to self-acceptance
This chakra is called the heart chakra and is the middle chakra in a system of seven. It is related to love and is the integrator of opposites in the psyche: mind and body, male and female, persona and shadow, ego and unity. A healthy fourth chakra allows us to love deeply, feel compassion, have a deep sense of peace and centerness.
Chakra Five:Sound, Creative identity, oriented to self-expression
This is the chakra located in the throat and is thus related to communication and creativity. Here we experience the world symbolically through vibration, such as the vibration of sound representing language.
Chakra Six: Light, Archetypal identity, oriented to self-reflection
This chakra is known as the brow chakra or third eye center. It is related to the act of seeing, both physically and intuitively. As such it opens our psychic faculties and our understanding of archetypal levels. When healthy it allows us to see clearly, in effect, letting us "see the big picture."
Chakra Seven:Thought, Universal identity, oriented to self-knowledge
This is the crown chakra that relates to consciousness as pure awareness. It is our connection to the greater world beyond, to a timeless, space less place of all-knowing. When developed, this chakra brings us knowledge, wisdom, understanding, spiritual connection, and bliss.
Ki flows out of your palm chakras to form a Ki ball. So if the palm chakras are closed, you will have a very hard time making a Ki ball. Every so often a chakra becomes blocked. This maybe by inactivity or just too much energy trying to get past at once. You can unblock them by making energy flow through them. You can do this by Ki training.
To unblock your chakras
Lie down on a bed with your arms by your side and your legs together. Visualize Ki being drawn into the chakras and being stored in your tan tien. You can do them all at once, or one at a time. If you do them all at once, it takes less time but is more difficult. While doing this exercise, you WILL feel sensations like tingling and discomfort. If you ever get and itch after doing this, ignore it. It is the energy passageways opening.
You also have energy storage centers in your energy body. The main one is the sub-navel. But the main Ki storage center is the tan tien. The sub-navel storage center is located around your stomach.
