- It has been my understanding that there are two ways to develop your chi.
- One of the ways comes from India and involves using the breath to generate
- and to move the chi (or the warmth). The other way comes from China.
- This method uses the Tai Chi form or various excersizes to develop and
- circulate chi. The breath in this method is not utilized. I must stress
- again that this is only my understanding. This is what I have practiced,
- and what has worked for me so far. I would more than welcome an opinion
- form anyone else.
