    1.
    ching
    chi
    shen

    physical body is emanation of ching
    aura is emanation of chi and shen
    aura in two layers

    2.
    ching kung
    chi kung
    shen kung

    ching kung is first invoked through body movement
    chi kung is first invoked through sensation concentration
    shen kung is first invoked through prayer

    ching kung has natural center in lower dan tien
    chi kung has natural center in middle dan tien
    shen kung has natural center in upper dan tien

    jerry johnson uses chi kung and shen kung terms

    3.
    martial skills on the three levels
    fa ching
    fa chi
    fa shen

    lin and chi
    it is said that one can have lin, but not chi; or chi, but not lin; or bot or none. thus it refers to different planes. yet it is improper to compare the muscle contraction (which is emanation of ching) with a chi (of which aura is manifestation).

    fa ching, fa ch’ing, fa jin
    fa jin is usually written as fa ch’ing and may be of different character. Fa ch’ing always pertains to martial power from muscles/physical, thus hinting to the ching plane work skill, while the same pronounciation of fa ching and fa ch’ing might be just a riddle secret in the japanese fame.

    (there is reference to kong ching, the feather body. Kumars believes it is mystical. Bardon describes such act as imbalance of elements (evoke the moon).
    this opens connection to lin kong ching, empty force breathing)

    there is direct reference to fa chi. usually in contrast to (fa) lin (which in such context is referring tu muscle force: again reference to ching; unknown connection to lin as water(y body))

    didn’t notice reference to fa shen.
    fa shen are the chi/spirit swords of the crazy eyed

    (was checking kumar frantzis and jwing yang dictionaries)

    4.
    kung fu is on any of the above plane
    nei gung is on any of the above plane
    blend the dish skillfully
