Hello,
I am a beginning novice in the energy arts and have had some insight into the experiencing of chi, and the fact that there is much more to us earthlings than mere physical flesh and blood (important though that is!) With respect to the above topic, which I acknowledge is a deep one, would anybody with experience care to put some flesh on the bones. As much as can be described in words.
Cheers
Because Dragon and Tiger Qigong is a simple and effective qigong practice, it is taught to students at the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine. Tracing the meridian lines helps our students to become more sensitive to both their own and their patients' chi and enables them to become better acupuncturists.
You might try Bruce's book The Chi Revolution (on this site or Amazon.com), which specifically talks about the different way chi works including the 8 energy bodies, healing and meditation. It is a good introduction to the subject.
