The ability to create beams of energy, though I have never seen nor heard of it discussed, is at the heart of the martial arts. I include pressor or tractor or any other type of beam in this discourse. A beam is a line of energy thrust outward from thebody of the martial artist, and this beam is usually constructed upon a line, though it need not be.
Unless a martial art helps a person to create a beam of energy at will, it cannot be considered a true martial art. It is a sad fat that most martial arts on this planet are aimed towards energizing body parts, or just the shabby excuse of building muscle. In this article we will discuss how to awaken the reader to the ability to create beams of energy.
The first thing to be understood is that the body is nothing more than a machine. It is an organic machine constructed of meat and bone and various linking systems. Indeed, to the person unused to a body, it can resemble a Rubic's cube, though, in fact, it is very simple to use.
One must practice classical forms, and understand the value inherent within classical stances, if he/she wishes to remake the body as a device that can beam energy. One is required to work in a specific manner when one trains in the classical stances, and this work will cause the creation of energy in the Tan Tien, which is the actual energy generator of the body, and which is located a couple of inches below the navel. One should contract and expand the body in harmony with the breathing cycle to help this process work.
To stance, to work, to breath, to concentrate awareness along the path of the arms, to imagine. It is imagination that sets us apart from the beasts, and it is imagination that is necessary to create the idea of a beam of energy coming out of the body. You must practice until the mind is calm and then it will be able to imagine.
The simplest way to test yourself, and to help in the direct growth of this ability to make beams, is to use the candle trick. Light a candle, breath to calm yourself and focus yourself, and when you punch stop your fist an inch from the flame. Work on a straight line, building your focus, and do not try to trick the flame by flicking the fist off the straight line, and keep the idea of the beam as straight as possible.
With time and success, stop your fist two inches from the flame, more time and success and three inches, and so on. Eventually you will be able to put out the flame from across the room. With great desire and patience, you will be able to merely look at the flame and it will go out..
There are those that laugh and such practices as detailed here are of little importance, and there are those who will not persist, but seek the instant gratification of simple fighting. Then there are those who will discover the depths of their being through this simple exercise. The difference between the two is faith, belief in yourself, and the desire to awaken your true abilities, and thus awaken yourself.
