Since KI is intangible, how can a person
Train KI?
In fact, KI is
tangible but most of us think it is intangible. We usually do not
notice/feel/sense KI in our daily life, this is because of the
environment we are living in. Usually a person who has
training/development in KI will be able to feel or even sense the
presence of KI. Basically, to feel KI.... words cannot describe, one has
to feel the presence of KI to understand KI further.
