Align your meridians for peak performance...

If I had money to burn...I would buy a couple of his DVD's I think...possibly. I certainly was fascinated by the other man...the healer, in another thread that you posted as well.

I knew this guy in Canada, this Korean fella, who I called Dr. Feelgood. I had health insurance (in another life) but instead of going to the "best" facility in the Detroit area, I used to cross the bridge to Windsor to go to this guy and pay cash out of my pocket.

I had developed a Morten's neuroma in one of my toes that was giving me excruciating pain when I played tennis. When I walked the golf course it was more of the same. I went to the hospital and talked with a foot specialist and he advised first a foot pad. I looked at him and said, "I don't think you understand how badly this hurts", so then he suggested cortisone treatments or surgery. The down side of the surgery being that it would involve severing a nerve which would leave me without feeling in part of my foot.

A friend of mine referred me to this Dr. Feelgood guy (his real name was Dr. Kim I think) and in two or three treatments the pain was gone...permanently. After that if I ever had a problem with anything I would go to him and I cannot remember him not coming through for me, not one time. It got so that I would make a list of everything that was ailing me and we would go over it and then it was the needles in the front, roll over and it was needles in the back. A little electricity, a little heat...good to go. Magic!

He was so good that I considered going just for maintenance and if I was playing competitive tennis I definitely would of gone and consulted him about his ability to help me to perform. Mentally when I left his office...I could walk down the street and feel the town beat, just like Springsteen. I felt like I was glowing.

Well the sad ending of this little story is that Dr. Kim developed an inoperable brain tumor and sadly I never saw him after that. God bless him.

Djokovics doctor is an acupuncturist who injects him with electricity, varying the low band frequency, with ac current.

It has not hurt him, that's for sure! There are bands, of energy, in all of us, we cannot measure yet. The real power comes from within, not injected power. But, that said, temp. power is not bad. Just look at Joker if you doubt it.
Anyone who does these exercises, can feel the ball of chi in their hands facing each other, and I've been able to project that to others so that they can feel the electricity through the air, as I project it towards their area. It makes them vibrate and elevates their molecular interaction.

Chi masters talk about this force, bringing it into themselves, projecting it into others. It's not a myth, as my own personal experience can attest to. Like all fields, distance is directly relative to its force. The closer you are physically to someone, the stronger your interaction can be felt. I'd like to develop a chi energy dvd for tennis players, with chi exercises you can invoke, to increase your personal power, speed, and speed of core rotation. These are the kinds of things a good coach teaches, without mentioning chi, while drawing it into their students. Those who use breath, and grounded breath, who use the power of the earth, drawn into their core, can hit the best shots.

Have you ever noticed how much the best players sink down into the earth? Max. stick speed can only come from intention and the earth. Leg drives don't only occur in the best serves, they occur in all the best shots, including volleys. "Stomp on the volley. Volley with your feet. Step into your fh. Leg drive into your serve.", while the real advice should be: "Gather your coil backwards, ahead of your shot. Slide into the earth and time your strike off its power."




We are all held together with gravity, and invisible force fields of many types. Those who learn about these fields, have an advantage. That is the real reason Joker and Bautista have become #1.

Projecting the chi into others takes a lot of practice, and will. It's a form of will that you are injecting forward of reality, ahead of time. When players say, "Don't let the ball play you.", what they really mean is don't be late, don't play the bounce, play the depth, so that you are always ahead of the ball, never behind and late on time. The same applies to will. When you see Fed play Roddick, he has beaten him 17 of 19 or so, and only lost in tight meaningless small matches, like Cinci. He owns Roddick with his will and chi projection ahead of time. He can read where the serve is going. He out aces him for the same reason. Tennis masters are will masters. Projection masters. They can induce fear with will, and semi paralysis so that their opp. play not as well as they could. Hence, Rafa controls his opp. by entering second always. He is controlling the match before a ball is struck. Fighters talk about "punching through the target.", as if they are aiming for a target far ahead of the one they strike. Top players, in all sports do the same. They project the will ahead of the target, thus striking with more damage and more effect on the target than those who know nothing of chi/will projection. Players talk about "slowing down time, so the ball was a grapefruit out there.", and they were in the zone. When you project your will and energy ahead of reality, you are slowing down time. There is more time when you lead time. Top players are able to disguise their shots this way as well as fool opp. into thinking a shot is going to one place, not the intended place. They set up as a ruse to show inside out, and then go dtl. They set up to show a drive and then drop it. Disguise takes many years of intended faking. Same thing with the projection of chi and will ahead of the shot. The opp. is frozen, as he is too far back to react.

Everything you decide on court does not come true. Nor do your intentions. Yet a thing voiced will more often come to fruition than a thing not voiced. If you go out tomorrow, and intend to hit to your opp. weak side, until he hits a short shot that you can come in on, you will more likely be able to do that in patterned way. That is why Rafa hits 85% of his topspin shots to Feds bh, and only 56% to Murray's bh. He knows that Murray's bh is stronger, and does not get stuck into a Fed pattern that would not work as well. He talks about striking across the ball rather than through it, as if he is always ahead of the shot. He strings from the bottom up on crosses. He tells the stringer to lock down the frame loosely, so that the mains compress the frame so it becomes rounder, and therefore shorter by 1/8". His stick is head heavy by far, and light by pro standards in total mass, yet, his sw is a pro sw at 352-355g. He strings 43 frames per slam, more than any other player, yet the soft copoly rpm does not hold tens. well and is only good for 8 games anyway. He uses a very small grip for more torque and spin, and orig. apd which is more stiff and powerful, not the advertised cortex. When he arrives, he strings up only a couple, practices, feels which tens. is the best, and then orders a few within lbs of each other, until the best string tens. is locked down. Then all the others are locked in. The strings are the soul of the frame, and the frame is just the body. When they break, it's a dash to the net. Most of us play with broken strings all the time and don't know it. We don't focus our intentions. We don't know about chi and will as a force to be practiced as much as a spin or a stroke. We lose to players with far worse games, as a function of their will alone. Ultimately, it's not a contest of strokes, but a contest of will applied ahead of the actual shot.

I want you to go out there next time, and decide to strike your returns faster, with a faster core rotation, off both sides, to a chosen location before the serve is struck. I want you to go out there, and decide, which spot you are going to serve to, with which spin, ahead of time, on each serve. I want you to relax your upper body, and your will, so that you are supple and smoothly fast, not only with your stroke, but with your decided will.

I think we are going a bit overboard in this thread...

Chi energy is a supposed life force energy;
it has never been detected;
it has no theory to explain it.

This is similar to a lot of other new age lingo.

Sorry, but as an electrical engineer, I just don't buy it. It may have some placebo effect, but everytime some new ager starts talking to me about "vibrations" "auras" and "energy flow", the hairs on my neck stand up...

Phil,
Some of the claims may be seriously overblown, but meridian energy has been used for well over 2000 years in China. It is only, however, in the last 30 years that electrical engineers, yes scientists, could physically detect and image the meridian flows of "chi energy" in the human body with technologies like Kirlian photography. In addition, of course, they do full blown surgeries in China with no more anasthesia than acupuncture (probably less so than in the past). I think they even do some here in the US as well. I don't have a ready list of papers to direct you to, but I think you can start with Becker's The Body Electric. One interesting point I remember was the way salamanders use an invisible and previously undetected microcurrent to "blueprint" the regrowth of amputated limbs. Really neat stuff.

I remain skeptical....

http://www.skepdic.com/kirlian.html

In 1939, Semyon Kirlian discovered by accident that if an object on akirlian butterfly digigraph by R. Carroll photographic plate is subjected to a high-voltage electric field, an image is created on the plate. The image looks like a colored halo or coronal discharge. This image is said to be a physical manifestation of the spiritual aura or "life force" which allegedly surrounds each living thing.

Allegedly, this special method of "photographing" objects is a gateway to the paranormal world of auras. Actually, what is recorded is due to quite natural phenomena such as pressure, electrical grounding, humidity and temperature. Changes in moisture (which may reflect changes in emotions), barometric pressure, and voltage, among other things, will produce different 'auras'.

I have a degree in electricity and had a full scholarship to cal in electrical engineering. So you know just how well blood and flesh carry current and fields of differing frequency simultaneously. You know how neurons fire and retain charges. You know how needles can inject these currents if hooked up to voltage sources, how voltage is like water pressure, how amps are like the amount of water/blood flowing in a given tubular vein or pipe. You know about hysterysis fields and current flow on the surface of conductors, and that the nerves are the wires in our bodies. You understand how the voltage shocking devices can knock us out, such as tasers with 50,000 volt injection fields. Is love an energy we can measure with a meter? Or any emotion? Is will able to be photographed and measured? Is grit, tenacity, resilience, goodness, etc.? All this technology, and we can't even measure the strength of anyones' will! Look up Djokovics doctor and read the stuff on his site, and talk to meridian experts on why the rivers of force can be manipulated with needles and electricity.

Geoff, you are mixing up physics with new age jargon.
You first speak of electricity, then of "meridians" and "rivers of force". This "force" has nothing to do with physics...
Point me to a study conducted in an recognized university, peer-reviewed, describing "chi energy"...

[GeoffWilliams]

Point me to a meter that can measure will or love or hate. We don't have it yet. Doesn't mean they don't exist.

[gzhpcu]

It is all a product of the mind. Chemical substances and brain activation are involved. Here on how to measure love:

My own first experience with chi was when I was a teenager. I was able to project a vibrating sexual energy through space to my partner, so that it made them vibrate and heat up as I projected the energy through clothes, and distance. The further away, the weaker the force. I also went to a Berkeley massage guru, who showed me how to project it through the hands into another person. Chi fields are why acupuncture works.

Other disciplines, such as Kundalini, also access the same fields.
