Development
When we are born we have a brand new Ki system. Like the breathing
technique mentioned in another section, if you are never shown how to, you will
not be able to modify and develop this most essential body system. There are
however, exercises that can be undertaken to develop the systems. These
exercises are quite intricate and take a great deal of time to learn. They can
also be dangerous if done incorrectly. These should be practised only under
supervision.
Before this is undertaken, however, it is advisable to gain some
understanding of the Ki of nature. The working of nature and the working of the
human body have many similarities and it is unwise to study without this
knowledge. If you how the season's function you will start to realise how you
operate. If you know how plants grow, then flower and die you will start to
realise why. Without this knowledge will not know what you are doing.
You must also get to know your own body and how it works. Gain
some control over the functions of breath and how it affects you. Then work out
the relationship between yourself and that, which is around you. Only then can
you develop safely.
Ki is not a toy for a child to play with. If you misuse it, it can
lead to you damaging yourself. Even worse, you might damage somebody else. When
using it to heal always remember that what can be used to heal and mend can
also be used to damage.
If you are stupid enough, you may accidentally misuse this entity and cause someone to die.
