Jing is the Tingle
When we practice Tai Chi or Kung Fu, the chi in our bodies wakes up and moves throughout our many cells and systems. Often after a Qi Gong set or practicing our Tai Chi or Kung Fu forms, we feel a tingling energy within, often in our arms and legs. This tingling is called Jing. Jing is the chinese word for essence and is considered one of the Three Treasures of Traditional Chinese Medicine along with Qi and Shen (awareness or spirit).

I love having a name for this. Jing. Sometimes it is a fleeting feeling. When I began to practice years ago, I wondered if I was really feeling it or just imagining it. Now, my connection with the jing is so familiar, it's strange if I *don't* feel it.
