I am having trouble with aspects of my training.
When training with a candle I find that my left side has little problem making the candle to bend in the right direction with that satisfying ripping sound and extinguishing the flame. However my right side (I am right handed) has a real problem achieving this. Also when I am striking with the left in this way it feels like it has no power although the flame go's out even at around 16 inches. Do I have power on the left despite the feeling of emptiness in the force? Why is my right unable to manifest this ability with any consistency?
I can achieve reasonable consistency at about 8 inches although the right is still notably less consistent. My best strike yet was on my right but it seems to be a one off.
Sorry if this is a bit rambling, basically I want to know if my left hand has power and why my right hand is unable to transmit this energy effectively.
I try to focus my force along a line going through the candle and this helps a bit. I also feel that my practice of the 3 wars form and the white crane hard chi gong has allowed me to develop some jin but I am not yet consistent.
Consistency has always been my biggest problem, at my best I am quite competent but sometimes nothing seems to work and I look the fool lol, this is in most areas of my life including driving tests ect.
One more concern I have is that I get very tired after about 10 minutes of this training and tend to need to shower after. I am probably a bit out of shape as having spent the winter in Poland I was forced to stay in doors most of the time by the weather.
