and for the first time ever, amazing once-secret chi techniques are now widely accessible. The internet is saturated with footage of great martial arts masters demonstrating superhuman capabilities. It’s never been easier to go from drugs to chi (or to skip drugs and go straight to chi). So turn to chi right now, right away. Use chi to escape reality without drugs


Hard drugs and intense chi If you’ve been a hard drug user, you will


have major imbalances of yin and yang. You may well have a condition known as ‘yang rising’, where all your energy is up in your head, creating an empty, heated intensely irritating sensation. When you take up a chi practice you need to keep a few things in mind. For example, if you are learning tai-chi or chi-gung, teachers will instruct you to ‘relax’ but you are probably physically unable to relax; so you’ll feel frustrated and start thinking chi is not for you. Think ‘sink in, sink in’ instead of ‘relax’ and it will work better for you. You can adapt a lot of what you have


instinctively learned about chi from your hard drug experiences. For example, you feel a drug rush start in your belly because it is activating the primal energies in the body. This is the dantian, the seat of power. This is where you ‘gather’ chi.


When I teach chi-gung, I begin by putting the client in the basic standing posture – feet hip-width apart, knees slightly bent and spine upright – and then get them to place their hands on the lower belly. The dantian is where you start to reconnect with chi again after drugs. Your familiarity with moving a drug rush internally is also something that can now be applied, as the next step is ‘directing’ chi. If you took a lot of hard drugs I’d


recommend learning intense martial arts forms as well, because you’ll need something powerful to counter the pull of these drugs. I regularly treat people who tell me that, after they quit, the darkness keeps calling them back and they just want to give in to it, and go back to jail and so on. Martial chi techniques are essential to engage with the darkness, to merge yin and yang, and to liberate yourself from the memories that constantly return you to dark actions. If you are drawn to the dark side,


go as hard on the chi as you did on drugs. Take up Chen-style tai-chi (my favourite) or praying mantis kung fu, which has a vicious aspect that can meet the intensity of that darkness and enable you to transform it. If that feeling of being drawn to the darkness becomes overpowering, I’d do a couple of hours of hard chi work in the morning and another less intense hour in the


evening. No days off, no discussions, no contemplating. Just do it. Otherwise your life can quickly become hell. You need a teacher and a school


for any chi practice. If you can’t find a teacher right away try video tutorials, books or DVDs, but getting a teacher is best. Get into it as soon as possible and immediately start practising every morning – ideally, outside and near trees as you can pick up more chi (hugging trees on LSD makes sense from this perspective). Even if you barely know what you are doing and feel like a fool, just keep doing it (the practice that is, not the tree-hugging). You’ll get more and more insight into where chi can take you. Repetition also builds the emotional strength and willpower necessary to stay on the extraordinary path. Plus, quitting drugs with a technique that enables you to feel good and to escape mundane reality is a no-brainer. Be a warrior on the path to an extraordinary future


Returning to centre You can use a chi practice to return


yourself to centre too, when you feel you are about to lose it, or if your mind starts racing with that manic psychotic energy (yang rising). Instead of engaging with the triggers, turn to your body (yin). Step away, go outside (or anywhere)


and do some slow squats. Slowly sink down, exhaling, and thinking ‘trust’.
