Introduction to alt.meditation.qigongA source-critical introduction to the Good Works Library shelf for the Usenet newsgroup alt.meditation.qigong: two selected practitioner witnesses on qi, proof, taijiquan, embodied attention, and public internet source ethics.Magical Spring Day — On Practicing Taiji in the WorldGarry Williams' brief account of practicing Chen taijiquan in a Philadelphia park in spring 2006 — where wild geese with goslings, after an initial challenge, accepted the practitioner as harmless and surrounded him during his form. A practitioner's testimony to what the internal arts look like from the inside.The Refusal of Minds to Meet — On Science, Qigong, and the Question of ProofRichard Burke-Ward's 2003 meditation on why the scientific community and qigong practitioners cannot easily reach each other — not from ignorance, but from incommensurable epistemologies. He argues the effort, if it ever comes, must come from the qigong side — and warns of what would be lost if science did succeed.
