class mates tremendously how they felt this warmth, the heat, the
coolness, I felt all that. It feels like a surge of energy that I get, I can
feel it going through me.
Dr. Young: How many months has it been now?
Bill: Almost a year, but I have been coming on and off.
Dr. Young: How long had you practiced this method before you
felt this energy? When did you feel the heat?
Bill: I consider myself very lucky because I felt it right away, the
first day. I actually felt something. That is what caused me to come
back again.
Dr. Young: Did he give you the power? Did he put it into your
navel or something?
Bill: I remember him touching me. I think I felt something but it
was very slight.
Dr. Young: So there is no special arrangement in giving it to
you.
Bill: He showed me how to go about it and I think he knows that
I am able to grasp it easily.
Dr. Young: How long does it take you to feel the circulation of
energy?
Bill: It happened the first day. He told me to concentrate on the
navel and I started feeling it. I wondered when I was feeling it, was
it imaginary or was I really feeling it? Before he told me about it, he
drew me a diagram of how the energy goes. This, of course, helped
me to locate the energy when I visualize it in my meditation.
Dr. Young: So did you resolve the issue as to whether it was
imaginary or not?
Bill: It is real.
Dr. Young: There is another thing that might help you, Master
Yun , who lived in the 1900’s and had no teacher explored this by
himself. There have been others too. There is one who presently
lives in Taiwan. They don’t have any guidance, which may more
dangerous but they did find the route of circulation.
Bill: I would be more afraid if I didn’t know what I was getting
into. It would keep me from going into it if I didn’t have guidance.
