Hey /x/ I feel like I'm able to move my energy throughout my body to different parts of it, but I can't project it. What is it that I'm doing and can I learn to project it?
It's called "chi." It is literally your awareness of awareness itself.
Another term for it, that is more applicable to the western philosophy of a clockwork universe is "life energy." Life energy is most easily projected through other life forms, since life forms are simply resonators of life energy. To explain life energy in technical terms requires some mathematics, so lemme' know if you want do the whole skeptic thing and see my research or whatever. It is the compression ratio of data, if you approach physics with the understanding that energy and information are synonymous. Or just take it for face value that even a child knows what life energy is, or else they wouldn't be alive to be skeptical about it.

You can learn to project it, if you find someone else who is learning to project it, learn to project it through each other.
You probably got a mental illness bro get it checked out!

Thanks anon, that really clears things up, I'm not a skeptic so it makes sense to me.
Congratulations!
Now you have gained the ability to think exactly this:

Tell me what does it feel like, I have a little bit experience with energy and I know that some of the feelings you get are just your body and some are energy.
The differences are significant so if it's really energy you'll know for sure (that is if you don't know what it feels like so it can't be a placebo, or you must be really good at meditating)
Your explanation should be as detailed as possible.

Why does that cat have a leg coming out of her stomach? And did they really need to draw her vagin?
>>17837067
it is the manifestation of an individual's innate "fighting spirit" and represents, to an extent, the individual's psyche
I believe I can do this too, although it is mostly located in my legs. I stay sat down and start feeling this energy all through my legs, making me want to shake them or do anything. I can do this at will.

While quite a few anons gave you good suggestions, at the same time I have to warn you that very well you may be falling into delusion of too many practitioners - biofeedback.
If the feeling you gained is not something you got from the series of exercises, it's likely just that - a feeling. Quite many people can create such - usually in form of warmth or tingling. Vide >>17837642
Practice actual tradition where both cultivation of energy and its use is performed over the course. That's all.

Very good advice.
Healer here with long experience of tai chi and chi gung, and various healing trainings. You need to learn what it is you are sensing, because there are times when you don't want to project your own chi. Generally speaking, your own chi is best kept for yourself. In healing you can learn to extend your awareness and affect someone else's chi, without draining your own. You can learn the difference between 'mind', or "I" pronounced 'yee' in Chinese, and chi. You can learn how to transmit prana/chi from a source beyond yourself for healing, without draining your own chi. You can learn how the Presence of your own self or center has a healing effect, and how to use this for healing instead of chi.
This is only a tiny example of some of the things you will go on to learn. But finding good teachers is essential. Look for courses in spiritual healing, reiki, chi gung (there's a lot of crap out there, beware) and cultivate your own health and vitality.
Don't get hung up on projecting your chi. Some people are naturally predisposed to that, some healers aren't, just like some people are naturally better at say piano than violin. Whatever your particular talent in energy work, you will be better prepared for it with good training and good health.
