Chris, thank you for your responses, they were rather helpful (and coherent

). I might look into those books you mentioned on chi sometime. So for clarification, Akasha is specifically linked to the planet? That and the etheric bodies
are the medium, information just being information. Luckily, I'm also in a martial art, so I might find it useful to try exploring more of what you said about these etheric bodies. Do you know where there are further resources on that (maybe specific recommendations from that book list on your website). Regarding emptying the mind, thanks for the suggestions (heh, perhaps this is another indicator that I should be more diligent with my taichi...

).
