Hi, Tony. I just wanted to apologize for me previous rude response. We get so many silly messages on this board, I thought you were just another boor trying to pan Tai Chi with a not-so-subtle spoof. Both Awestruck and Bruce have given good answers to your question, which it would be hard to add to. Since you seem to be unaware of some critical information, such as the importance of the kidneys (in modern terms, more likely the adrenal glands which sit on top of the kidneys) in qi development, the best advice anyone can give you would be to go back to basics and learn real Tai Chi first. You are concentrating on the wrong things. If you teacher is encouraging this, find a new teacher who knows what he or she is doing.
Best regards and good luck in the new year,
Al K.
