☯️ Why Rising Energy in Wing Chun Can Awaken You… or Break You

Sifu John Cogan

Jun '25 • TRAINING🥷

🔥 Most people try to add force to get power...

We do the opposite.

Instead of effort, we align.

Instead of force, we use intention.

Instead of chasing energy, we rise.

So why do we imagine a small ball of radiant light rising from the base of the spine to the crown?

It’s not just some meditation technique.

It’s a doorway into something deeper.

This one shift in intention can unlock your internal power, calm your nervous system, and connect you to a state passed down from Ip Man… to Chu Shong Tin… to me… and now to you.

When I moved to Hong Kong to master internal Wing Chun, my teacher — a man who could overpower trained fighters without using strength — shared one key insight:

Energy rises through the center.

Not because you try to lift it.

But because of the state you’re in.

He didn’t force energy to move.

He stood in structure, in stillness, in intention.

And the energy moved on its own.

So we trained in that state — sometimes for six hours a day.

No shortcuts. No Chi Sao until the structure was right.

Just standing, sensing, surrendering.

And then it began to happen.

The center opened.

Tension dropped.

Power increased.

But here’s the part most teachers don’t talk about…

Rising energy through the center can be dangerous if you do it wrong.

If you try to rise energy while filled with anger, shame, guilt, or fear,

you can damage your nervous system, burn out your energy centers, or destabilize your emotional body.

That’s why inside One Tao, we rise differently.

Before we rise, we purify.

Before we visualize, we connect.

We align with the highest intention — God, Christ, Dao, your Higher Self — and then infuse that light with peace, love, and stillness.

And from there… we rise.

This way of practicing speeds up the skill development tremendously, because your are rising the 'right' quality of energy.

This isn’t imagination.

It’s a real system.

It opens your spine.

Sharpens your strikes.

And transforms your state of being.
