Chi Kung For Magicians Options

Which is the best form or school of Qi Gong, one that works well with a persons development as a magician?

Have been practicing yoga for a while now and its benefits are astounding, wasnt keen on Qi Gong as the slow movements seemed to go against my more firery temperament but after much back and forth regarding the benefits of the two, yoga and qi gong, someone said it... that Qi Gong teaches you how to manipulate energy, yoga dosent, at least not at all in the same way. Sounds glaringly obvious but it swayed my opinion which was one for the marriage of yoga and magick as the perfect matrimony, being able to open physically blocked channels and assume new positions marking the progress of development etc.

Surprised to read just how many variations of Qi Gong there are, some involving elements such as sound into things and so I thought I'd ask and get a better opinion on which form would go well with Magick, am looking into the Alchemy of Baguazhang...

Think this should be in the Eastern section, forum has been sloooooow recently, not even sure if anyone is around (IMG:style_emoticons/default/face08.gif)

... Yoga doesn't deal with the elements .lol. Of course it does, just not in the same way is what I meant... although I've experienced Yogis throwing their chakra energy around quite well... took up Kundalini for a while, wasn't the right class perhaps, one of the women didn't take to me well, me being the only guy in the room and being quite young at that, she started with the snide comments etc... the Yogini teaching us (R.I.P) didn't say anything but started the class in her usual lotus position on top of her sheep skin rug to start the class telling us what to do, now, throughout the isession there was a distinct pounding of energy emanating from her and hitting the cranky old woman beside me, was like being in a room with someone banging the wall next door .lol. all from this Yogi sitting "at peace" in lotus. Was impressive. In another account I had to attempt to get a refund from a Yogi as he had changed his class times and hadn't informed me, bit of a bad character, liked his class being full of women 'helping' them when necessary even though he was married... his trick? Was like he could turn on his heart chakra and bring about its vibration in his aura then effecting yours, interesting stuff. Personally practice Astanga so theres no initial focus on the chakras, just the breathing and spine work, which isn't helpful as its back to front, attempting to force Kundalini energy upward without having balanced ones chakras first, is odd but its a fun system.... still, when it comes to shifting and being aware of ones subtle body you cant beat Qi Gong working in 2=9 has been an experience in that to say the least.
