I will describe my own journey to you, it will be a little long, and then ask my question to you. I'm 32 today. My journey into the 'Qi Realm' started in my teens. My parents were interested in natural therapies, and that influenced me as well. I was born with mild scoliosis, so my doctor recommended ballroom dancing and swimming; later, my parents signed me up for Aikido. I fixed my scoliosis, and thanks to Aikido, I learned how to fall safely. Then, I became fascinated with Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee. This led to six months of Kyokushin Karate, a few years of Leung Ting Wing Tsun, and frequent (though irregular) practice of the Yang Taiji 24 Form, which I learned from videos. I wanted to learn to protect myself from bullies; thanks to Wing Tsun, I finally could. It 'saved my life,' so to speak. A few months later, it was time to decide what to do with my life. My late grandmother suggested massage therapy, as I was fascinated by the image of the old martial artist with white hair and a beard who could heal others with his bare hands. After two years, I officially became a massage therapist. In the meantime, during one of my Taiji sessions, I noticed a strange phenomenon: a flowing warmth filling my body, behaving much like a tide. From that point on, whenever this feeling appeared, my skin reacted with piloerection (goosebumps). I interpreted this as my Qi, but I wasn't sure. At first, it was spontaneous - appearing during Taiji or while watching a movie where the protagonist finally overcomes a tribulation or defeats the antagonist. Later, out of curiosity, I started visualizing those movie scenes to trigger the phenomenon. Eventually, visualization became unnecessary; I gained the ability to summon the feeling at will, as easily as moving a limb. I noticed that summoning it provided relief from winter cold or summer heat. When I was tired while jogging, it gave me more stamina. Later, I learned to control it further; for example, I can concentrate the sensation in only one hand, and the goosebumps appear only there. Breathing helps, but it also works while I hold my breath. Finally, I noticed that during a headache, I could concentrate this phenomenon in the area of pain for relief. It doesn't always work, but it often helps; other times, I still need a pill. It has also helped with throat irritation and nausea. After a few years, I saw a video of Chunyi Lin saying, 'During this Qigong, you will feel goosebumps all over your body,' which gave me some reassurance. During those years, I studied everything available in English regarding Oriental medicine: Energy work, Daoist Neidan, Reiki, Jerry A. Johnson’s books on Medical Qigong, and Wai Qi Liao Fa. Yet, no source mentioned my goosebumps. I began using Touch for Health (Applied Kinesiology) in my practice. I developed a method where the patient lies on their back while I stand with slightly bent knees. I draw Earth Qi through the Yongquan points and Heaven Qi through the Baihui point, combining them in my lower Dantian. I then direct this Qi to my eyes or the Laogong points on my palms to send it to the patient. I visualize the Qi as light. When it moves through my body, I feel that same warmth and goosebumps. Regarding Qigong, I consider myself a Sàn Xiū ( 散修 ). I took a few Taiji lessons in person, but my teacher couldn't help me with Qi healing, so I stopped attending. I didn't want just physical exercise or martial applications; I yearned for real Qi work. To this day, it is all about self-study and knowing my own body, myself. This brings me to my question: During your own journey, have you heard anything from Daoists, monks, or practitioners regarding these goosebumps? Is this truly the Qi I am working with?
