It's only an internal sensation created by the purposeful focus of attention.


What we are against is the mislabeling of phenomena. I don't think people are doubting the ability to "feel the energy". What's up for debate is exactly what that "energy" is. It's merely an internal sensation, not a created energy or manifestation of anything out of the ordinary.

It's like trying to claim the goosebumps are the effect of creating some sort of mystical electrostatic field of energy around ourselves. It clearly is not.

EDIT:

Clever as you think you are, the fact is that special viewers can be built to MAKE you see what's there. Can you do that with this magical, mystical ball of energy in your hands? I submit the concrete answer to be no.
I didn't state that I feel goosebumps. I stated that I felt a different sensation. I said I could never see, nor feel the energy. Just a different sensation. It's a very relaxing sensation indeed. I already know it's used as a visulization excercise. I've always wondered myself if it was really " Chi " or just a sensation my mind is forcing me to feel. Please if you feel that I am wrong, correct me. I do not want to give people the wrong impression of Energy arts, and not the false impression it is sometimes known for.
