Question

I had a friend who have mentally problem. She told me that her energy is sometime away or lose from her physical body and she feel weak and unconscious. Sometime she felt the other spirit steal or take away her energy. I told her to concentrate on her navel and she feel better after meditating. Next day, her body feels weak again. I told her to meditate again and she feel better then following day she feel weak and unconscious again. It keep on the same thing happen better, then weak again. Please advise me regard her problem and hot to solve her problem with meditation?
Answer
What you advised is right. The only problem is she needs to believe in herself and do more concentrating on the navel; she should start to do the Microcosmic Orbit and keep on storing energy in the navel.
Question
My question is about a women that I am in love with, she is currently 27 years old, but was born with only one kidney, and I was hoping you could give some insight into how this might affect the Chi circulation in her body.

The thing that I find curious is that she does not appear to be deficient in the attributes associated with kidney Chi, quite the reverse in fact.

She radiates a natural health and is gentle, graceful and compassionate, as well as having strong sexual energies, she is also highly spiritually developed and is passionate. All of her emotions are experienced intensely, including the negative ones and at periods in her life she has suffered from a sense of isolation and self-critical anxiety, mostly brought on by circumstances of life. Her body is normally very warm but can become cold at times of extreme depression and has even developed bruising around the neck at such times. She all so is prone to hot flushes particularly during menstruation.

Over all she is physically healthy, emotionally balanced and spiritually developed as well as being very feminine, with a high level of natural Yin energy. Although she knows a number of meditation and health techniques she seems to have there benefits without needing to regularly practice them.


I have tried to give you an idea of her qualities, both positive and negative, in hope that this will help you explain how being born with only one kidney effects her Chi circulation.
Answer
Many people are doing OK with one kidney as you described. She appears to be normal. She is only human like everybody so she is subject to the emotional ups and downs. Doing the practice of Inner Smile will help her balance the inner emotion.
