Hello

[Amurite]

Hello. A new bum is here. A few months ago I decided to look into Taoism. Didn't know what it actually really was. I think it is neat so I am here to learn more.

 

I've read the Tao Te Ching and I am reading Chuang Tzu's book now. I'm also a big Ursula K. Le Guin but that is only somewhat related.

Hello Amurite, and welcome to the forums!

Thank you for the welcome.

 

I was wondering if anyone could point me to a solid introduction to Qi or source material about it?

 

I've read a lot of people's views on it and I know by its nature it is kind of hard to define for another person. Still I would like a reputable source to start with.

Do you mean a book? Or something else?

Book. Modern or old. Informative video. Podcast. Lecture. Not too picky as long as the information is quality.
