Feeling Energy, Not Force
If you’ve ever tried to move someone heavier than you, you know the struggle — the harder you push, the less they budge.
In Kung Fu and Qigong, that moment isn’t failure; it’s the doorway to understanding energy.
In one of our Energetics classes, a student was pushing against her partner with all her strength — and nothing moved.
I said gently, “Turn your foot.”
She did.
And instantly, her partner shifted back without effort.
Everyone froze for a moment. Then laughter.
She said, “I didn’t even push that time.”
That was the lesson.
Power doesn’t always come from muscle — it comes from direction.
“Where your attention goes, energy flows.”
In Kung Fu, Qigong, and life, this principle changes everything.
When your attention is scattered, your energy leaks.
When your attention is aligned, even a whisper of movement carries power.
