Essentially you start out using some basic chi gung and fasciae work to generate the fah jing ability. As you begin to layer on the sense exercises and elemental work you can start working with more refined energies to generate the same effect. After six months to a year of regular practice with stuff the other aspects of meditative practice open up.

I've come to the conclusion over the last several years that this occurs due to their engaging in unbalanced yogic/meditative practice. Even when they have a meditative routine they are often really out of it.
The elemental and sense gate exercises fix this. And quickly. The results are not subtle and quite noticeable to other people.

Due to the wealth of experience he has at the yogic arts he is often able to "unstick" people for whom their practice has become stagnant. This primarily comes from a couple of items that are uncommon in his experience.

Dr. Ken Fish, Serge Augier, Alex Kozma, Mark Rasumus, Gary Clyman, Linhai of sacredjourneys.org, Santiago Dobles, Tao Semko and similar people spent several hours a day for decades to get where they are now. Just like people who went through classical training in the temples and fight club families/villages of Asia. Whether people like these practitioners or not can be an issue, but they all have real kung fu as they are gifted, hard working and put the time in.
