Consider what the cave man might have thought of the airplane or car. He would believe it mystical, be frightened or consider it a new type of animal. Today, the same might be true of psychic skills. Many see these abilities as something supernatural and yet, they are skills acquired like any other type of ability. In yoga, the name of the power is prana. The basic prana comes into the body through breathing and circulates through the system with each breath. In qi gong, the power is the chi. It is often called the natural energy of the universe and which gives life force and power to humans. It is through breathing exercises, the practice of quieting the mind and meditation that the student learns to increase the body’s energies so they have the ability to perform the extraordinary.
