Yin Uses

Yin energy is often underestimated. It is not good for increasing the damage of your punch, or any other such things, but it is equally important to yang.

Here are some ways in which you use yin energy when you are practicing chi:

• Heightened awareness of your surroundings
• Seeing with your eyes closed
• Attracting/drawing energy
• Attracting Wealth*
• Attracting Relationships*
  
• Sticky Hands Technique
• Walks On Ice Technique
• Telekinesis
  
• A good natural state**

*Please be careful of anyone trying to sell you a method of attracting wealth and relationships using chi. A master worth anything would likely only teach you these things as a part of a much larger system.

**When not using your chi for any particular purpose it is always good to keep the chi in your aura in a yin state, as it will work as an early warning system to you (if you are sensitive enough) as someone intending harm to you will be energized with yang energy. (Even if they aren't chi pratitioners, yin and yang is something everyone works with, chi kung is just a way of mastering them)

A basic way of looking at yin and yang

Yin and Yang are ways of using the chi energy. Chi on its own is nutural, but we use it in a yin or yang way. When we draw things in using chi, we are using yin energy. When we are propelling things using chi, we are using yang energy. A great way to practice using both yin and yang chi is by making a psi ball (simply a ball of chi energy, usually heavely packed, but it does not need to be for this.) and just pass it back and forth with a partner. Stand a couple feet apart, and just pass the psi ball back and forth. When it is being passed to you, use yin energy to bring it to you, when you are passing it to your partner, use yang energy to send it over. Once you have done this a bit, try speeding up or working with a denser or bigger psi ball.
