You are born with it, you don't run out until you are dead.

Qi feeling and manipulation is much like muscular development and manipulation. You learn as a baby how to et your muscles to respond, and you can build them or let them atophie... Qi is much the same. As you work on it, and work with it, your energetic strength and skill improves.

Someone may work years without noticing, OTOH my school has a 3-day seminar that will have you working with it on a relatively advanced elvel (though building it up from it's inherent level will require time).

^ Any testimonials from your school, and is your school national?

Well, I'm a student, so I would be a testimonial. Certainly if you walked in the door, a good percentage (20%?) of our students have attended the Qigong healing worksopt and can attest to it.

No, we are not national, we are not a chain. The owner (Richard Clear) is teching up in Maryville TN, one of his most senior students is teaching down here in Tampa.

As to a testimonial? I am a consumate sceptic. Not only did the workshop allow me to perform tests to establish I was wrong for not believing in it, but I'm aware of no one who does not learn how to do what the workshop teaches from the workshop... I only like things which do not require belief to function (so as to avoid psyosomatic effects)
