I belonged to a school of Qigong which taught us to ignore any growing psychic abilities as being irrelevant. Anyhow that is how I thought for many years. But I became less comfortable with some aspects of Chinese culture over time. I began to see that Qigong or energy work is actually universal and at one time was probably known in Europe as well. My concepts changed so that I Europeanized or westernized my energy work and evolved into a neo-pagan. At that point I had contact with other neo-pagans who seemed to have a very different attitude than I had. With me, I had meditated daily and over time I happened to develop special abilities and had shamanic and otherworldly experiences. But these were irrelevant to me at the time. However I was meeting with people all the time that weren't interested in the spiritual aspects, but wanted to develop spiritual abilities. I found it rather strange. I suppose that this is why I posted here as I did. My purpose in my spiritual practice is still primarily spiritual. But I am beginning to value these abilities at times. I still have some misgivings though.

Don't worry. It'll only seem kinky the first time.
