Hi.

I'd say you are feeling chi, chi is energy isn't it? so saying that, we feel it all the time, weather we know it or not. I'd recommend looking into how to use chi, making chi balls for healing, making pillars of chi to stand in, that's fun, try it! It's warm! Meditating and holding chi, and there is more but I don't know it. For those that don't believe chi is real, think of chi as the bodies energy but this energy surrounds every living and non living thing in the universe, weather we can see it or feel it or not, it's there. I know for me it's deffenetly real. I know you said you didn't want a scientific viewpoint and I'm not good at giving those, but I'm quite sure some scientists said in an article I read quite a while back, that they can use equipment to see the stuff around an object, what they were seeing is energy, or chi. I hope this helps and if you don't believe me that's great, find your own path on your own and be happy doing so.

Hi.

OH you can make them much bigger than that.

I'm telling you, try to make a pillar of chi and walk inside it.

To do it; 1. Hold chi in your hands.
2. Try to put the chi on the floor in a long shape.
3. Make that long shape go to the sealing.
4. walk in to the pillar and enjoy the warmth.

It's all to do with belief, if you think you can, chances are, you will.

Finally a great discussion!

Well I’m not sure what the Chi exactly means, so I looked it up on the dictionary.
Again I can’t exactly understand it, but following this discussion, I can create an opinion on what it is, although I can’t explain it.
It sounds a little strange indeed what you’re saying like feeling somebody’s heat or opinions or whatever you mentioned and so far I haven’t come across with it, but I’m sure I got some strange “Senses”
For example, I can feel a person when getting closer; I think other do feel it as well, but I can feel it when they are not so close. I feel like a “Shadow” coming closer and closer untill I speek  to him or her. I don’t hear that person walking, no, I don’t feel him or her, but I feel it coming to me. For example, I work with my laptop at my school, and once my English teacher came to see what I was doing. While she was about a meter away from me, I stopped working on my Laptop, and she wandered why I was doing that. She said, go on, why did you stop?
Also, when rarely I want to cheat on any test, again, it happens rarely, I make sure where the teacher is, I can locate almost exactly where the teacher is, then I do what I need to do. Another example: when I walk on the street, there are some big houses which have big gates. The point is, I can feel the space between the door and the road, and I can go, right there.
Another similar case occurs with cars. Once, I was walking with my best friend close to the school. He is not blind, and I felt like there were a blocked space over there. A car was parked, and I could feel it. I asked him right away: Who’s got that car?
He got stunned saying, what the heck? Can you see it?
Another interesting example, at least for me, I don’t know how did it happen, although I did it myself. We were sitting somewhere out of the school, and some guys were playing basketball. Suddenly, the ball was flying in front of me, very fast, and I felt it when it came very close. It would hit my head, but I moved it, and the ball crashed onto the wall. I don’t know why I did it, but I’m sure I felt something.
I am never sure where does this come from. But I assume that many blind people have some senses like these. When coming to the question why, the reason is theoretically very simple. Many people try to explain it like a miracle of god. God helps them, they used to say, but I think it’s very difficult to literally explain it. Although the science has advanced so much, they’re still unable to explain some phenomenon, like, why does a person get red into face when you yell at them? Or, why does the face “View” change when a person laughs.
Anyway these are somewhat different from what were we discussing, but it’s highly interesting to know about them.

Hello,
I think what Afrim is describing here is spacial awareness. On a slight off topic note, I don't know, but eSpeak butchers this, it should be pronounced spay sheal but it says spash ill.
Anyhow, back to the discussion, it could be a different form of chi, as in a way something is being sensed there, I've noticed it when walking near a large car and such, much like afrim. It is a very interesting and quite random feeling, and can be useful. However, I don't know if it comes under the category of chi, unless a car could, technically speaking, have a life force but wouldn't the car's life force only become active when the engine activates? With a basket ball moving as well there could be a fore there as well, it's moving, but it's moving through the air directed by the force of a throw. I thought life force would mean that someone or something has to be alive, or could life force mean more than that? When we get into souls and things, well, I find that quite fascinating. I definitely think that there is such thing as a soul, but as to what will happen to it, I have no idea. Also, spirits, I think they exist. In the past I've had times where I feel like something or someone was watching me and no one was in the room. It seemed friendly, but I didn't really want to disturb it so I didn't approach it. That has not happened to me for a while, so I'm wondering what happened to that being and I hope that it is still safe.

Afrim, what you are  describing sounds to me like the result of echo location, not chi. Chi in chinese isn't specific to life force, it simply means energy, but the way kenzon yeo defined it is more popular understanding of the word. All those experiences you've had, with being able to tell when people are near and when cars are close without hearing them, are part of the process... and is actually not a feeling, but something you can hear, because of sound waves and their movement patterns. As for my own personal experience with chi... I haven't had any. Partially because I haven't ever experienced it so don't believe in it, though I'm open to the idea.. but also in part due to being a Christian, I have no need for ieas such as Chi, though again that doesn't mean I hate it. Spirits though... are most certainly another discussion, and things to be very, very careful with when dealing with them. In fact, I would say the best solution is to avoid them altogether... and I definitely believe those exist, both in my own limitted experience, and things I've heard from others. Certainly an interesting discussion!

The only reason I say it isn't Chi is because I can do the same... and I've taken worshops on the subject, and this is how echolocation works. It feels like an increased density in space, like a presence that you can all of a sudden just tell is there... and if Chi is a life force, that would imply it exists in inanimate objects or even empty space, which I'm not so sure about. I'm not criticizing anyone here, and am perfectly aware that not everyone holds my views on this subject. Just wanted to contribute a little to the discussion. Chi is definitely an interesting topic, especially as someone who has been into martial arts and the like since I was young, and especially being interested in arts like Aikido which have a lot to do with energy and life force as part of the grappling system. When I was younger, I used to sense things around me all the time; cars, people, empty doorways or spaces, fences, tree,s you name it... and had no idea what it was for the longest time until someone told me it was echolocation. Not that you have to make sounds to utilize it... which is why I can see some people theorizing that chi is the reason, which, for some, may indeed be it... and I don't doubt that if such a thing exists, it could definitely be used to enhance echolocation... though not to the extent shown in zatoichi and Daredevil movies. lol

Well, the thing is, chi as the term is used does refer specifically to the life force that Chinese and Asian mythology believes to exist. I was just saying that the actual Chinese word chi can mean many different things. Energy does exist, and what a lot of Asian martial arts refer to as Chi is normally due to kinetic energy and an understanding of opposing forces. I would not discourage science, and I think many religious people who do are incorrect... as science and faith, at least with Christianity, actually go together much better than they do trying to stand alone. And the problem with experiences as those that you mentioned is that there is no objective way to prove them... I don't disbelieve you, as I've had spiritual experiences myself, just none with chi.

@Asult_freak
As Kenzon mentioned, I didn’t hear the person walking, neither smelled perfume or any other clothing aroma. The person was approaching and approaching. I had my earphone put on, and Jaws was speaking as loud as I could hear it well. There was nothing to do with sounds or air.
Another thing I experience everyday, is when getting closer and closer the walls or large objects like houses or buildings, I can feel a blocked space. It feels like something is in front of my face, don’t know weather there’s any “Special cells” (sorry for the bad description) on my face. I try to prevent my ears from hearing by blocking both with my hands or by putting on headphones and listening to music, and I experience that feeling again. I go close to the door and do this. Yeah I tried it last night when this topic was posted. I felt the door or an object near my face I even walked around the house, and I could feel walls. I can’t say I saw them. I was not born blind. I fell on an accident when I was just one year and a half. Exactly it was 1997.
As about spirits, I don’t know weather I ever felt a spirit in my room, or somebody else was in the same room when I was alone there. Anyway, One night while I suddenly woke up, I heard like someone was running on my corridor, drawers being opened and closed quickly, doors as well. I’m sure about what I’m saying. I heard everything. I’m not crazy. To prove I was awake, I tried moving my hands, get up from the bed, and once I opened my room’s door, everything became calm. So I was hearing it, right?

Hi nin.
When I meditate, which isn't often. I usually just listen to music relax whilst lying down, and aventually I will feel my hands but only my hands go tingly, then i can feel above my hands, and can move my spirit hands? in circle movements, so going over and over, like when you're swimming kind of.

Or, if I'm really lucky and having a good day, i get to have a nice ride on my bed. I mean it, the bed feeels like it's moving. Forward... back... up forward... down, back... and round and round too, it's quite awesome.

I do have something similar, but not the same I believe. I can induce some electric current-like energy in my body. I haven't found any use for it till yet, but it's like...when you keep an arm in the same position for some time and it feels like needles? it's like that, just milder and not painful in the least. I can't describe it. I don't know about meditating, though I can feel it if I stay still for a long time, more if i'm lying down on a bed. It appears to generate between my neck and chest, though as I said I haven't found anything to use it for. I wouldn't believe this to be chi, because I can generate chi too as an invisible pressure between my hands. It's mre of a thin line than a ball. It's light and heat-I can't really describe it. I tried meditation etc years ago, but I just haven't researched more yet because of time constraints. Maybe I look into it when I complete exams this month.

@Dhruv, The human body produces a mild electrical current; It is mild enough that you can't even feel it that often. Maybe what you're feeling is the electricity produced by your body? @Kenzon, Since I am a Christian and do not believe in chi, I'd like to think that's what you are feeling. As far as spirits go, I agree with assault_freak. They should be avoided at all cost; What may seem to be kind could really be the devil in disguise. When the fall of man occurred, something happened; We lost the ability to be spiritual beings, like God. Thus we do not understand what lies in the spiritual world, and can be easily deceived by the hostile spirits within. For those of you who disagree, I pray you are not deceived.
