How can I feel and guide my energy during Taoist meditation?

Question

I've been working on this and simply not feeling it. Any advice?

Answer 1

It really is a practice, and took over 7 months of regular practice before I 'felt' energy moving, and many years before it became normal. Different people experience different sensations during meditation, and it is best not to have any expectations. Expectations do not jibe with Taoist ideology. When a thought comes in to your mind during meditation such as 'I'm not getting this' or 'I'm not feeling anything, simply acknowledge the thought and let it go.
