HIGHEST ART IN CHI KUNG
Lifting the Sky
Question
Sifu, what would you consider to be the highest art in chi kung?
-- Sifu Andrew Barnett, Chief Instructor Switzerland
Answer
Twenty five years ago in my 40s I would consider the highest chi kung to be Golden Bell or Cosmos Palm. One could attack a Golden Bell master with weapons, yet the master would not be hurt. A Cosmos Palm master could kill or main an opponent by gently tapping on an opponent's body.
Fifteen years ago in my 50s, I would consider the highest chi kung to be One-Finger Shooting Zen. It was One-Finger Shooting Zen that enabled me to attain incredible chi kung abilities like Golden Bell and Cosmos Palm, and to teach students to have mental clarity and internal force within a relatively short time.
Now in my 70s, I would consider the highest chi kung to be chi kung that gives good health, vitality and longevity, such as chi kung techniques like Lifting the Sky and Carrying the Moon, and chi kung skills like generating energy flow.
Although I am 70 now, I have better health and more vitality than many people half my age. Having passed 60, I can claim to have longevity. What type of chi kung that I practice to enable me to have these wonderful benefits. I practice what I teach, i.e. techniques like Lifting the Sky and Carrying the Moon, and skills like generating energy flow.
