Welcome to the Inner Exploration Process!
The format of this program is to guide you, (teach you) in experiencing tools of perception. You use these tools to make choices about how to be more aware of your physical body, your chi-energy flow and to learn how consciousness fits into this package.
Chi-energy and how we interact with it is the foundation of this program. Chi-energy is a substance, just like clay. You learn to make the substance more and more pliable. When you can make the chi-energy pliable you can use it to form desirable shapes.
The idea here is to learn techniques that will allow you to have more than one game plan for how you face life's challenges. If you have unresolved memories which are causing you stress, these techniques have the potential to give you tools to put things into positive perspectives.
This is a thinking person's system. You not only practice the techniques but you have to develop intelligence about why the chi-energy behaves the way it does.

Traditional benefits and cautions pertaining to Chi-Energy exploration
If you have ever studied chi-energy for physical strength, your teachers may have cautioned you not to get hooked only in the physical benefits of chi-energy, that there is a deeper, more important level to chi-energy.
The tools of perception in this program address these deeper levels.

Hear but don't Hear, See but don't See, Be the Empty Cup
For thousands of years this was the only way to present a hint of the mind-set that you need in order to heighten your levels of sensitivity to chi-energy. All three ideas have the same message: Don't over-focus. These are still valid points.
Hear but don't Hear, See but don't See:
If you listen too intensely to one sound, you won't notice other sounds in the room. If you stare too intently at any one object, you will lose the peripheral vision which allows you to notice objects or movement in your whole field of vision. This also applies to feelings in your body and to chi-energy as it flows through pathways in your body. If you over-focus and pay too much attention to one sensation, that will blot out your awareness of other sensations. That's why, when we do energy work we emphasize, "Have a casual attitude" because it enhances awareness in all directions.
The empty cup is another way of saying this. If you already have preconceived ideas and thoughts about what you are expecting to find, this will blot out your ability to take in new information.
When your mental cup is already full, you are unable to put any real meaningful attention on to a new subject. The empty cup means full but relaxed attention, a complete openness to receiving new information.

The most difficult part — accepting justice.
This is a play on words but it explains the difficulty people have in accepting that something just is the way it is.
There is another option: When you don't like something, first you accept it, then you find out how you can change your perceptions so that the circumstances change.

The Energy System and Compassion
Many cultures talk and teach about a spiritual state where more abilities are available to each person. What is surprising about these abilities is that they have been given to us to teach us compassion.
When you learn how to do these techniques you will be surprised at how simple they are to do.
