The Beginning

Beginning is always tough, at least for me. As I look at a clear page in front of me I feel a sea of emptiness. It was like this for a while, but I was coming back to this stage over and over again promising myself to share my knowledge or putting it less dramatically - share my experience with the world.

I thought of myself many things and I tried many things in my life, unfortunately or maybe for the best (who knows), most of my endeavors failed terribly. Only a couple of things which did stick to me during past years, were: my wife Elena, who gently transformed me from a cocky dumbbell to a man I am today; and Martial Arts which I study and teach for over thirty years.

When I was nineteen I met this guy called Alex "the Spirit". Someone brought him to our underground Wing Chun club (at that time, back in Russia, Martial Arts were illegal) where he performed a demonstration. Ten guys were standing in line, where each participant was holding his arms straight against a back of a guy in front of him creating a solid structure. Alex "the Spirit", a medium built guy, gently placed his palm on the chest of the front-standing man and with an effortless push he moved the line, of ten men, about two feet backward. I was shocked as everybody else in the club. That was my first introduction to energy manipulation.

My friend Vasily kindly let me share his room in three bedroom community apartment (Where three families share this apartment, each family had one room)  he was living in. One day he brought Alex "the Spirit" with him and said that Alex will stay with us for a while. It was an amazing experience, Alex did demonstrations and taught us some steps into the energy world. Some was fun to do, but some I was not ready for. One night I was practicing to move the energy through my body and I fell into a deep meditation. My body was so heavy, I felt as I was falling down through the floor, driving through Earth and suddenly I saw my body lying on the bed and I was flying away. That spooked me a lot. I wasn't ready for that.
