If you're worried about it, maybe try to find a class or a meetup event, or something like that in order to get it from a person. Many people use that method exclusively and it's nothing to feel any sort of way about, it's effective. Alternatively, there are books and videos and different ways to teach yourself.

This is a fairly old recording, but pretty good as a reference for where to start, if you're interested: https://youtu.be/d5fsKmiF694

If you're looking for a practical book about the internal side of qigong (also called energy work), Robert Bruce's book Energy Work is good.

If you want more in-depth explanation of qigong from a chinese perspective, Dr. Yang Jwing-Ming's book The Root of Chinese Qigong is very good.


What's most important in my personal opinion is to relax and to continue to notice the breath while doing whatever else you're doing with movement or with intention and internal awareness.

One thing that last book says is something like Once you can regulate the breath without regulating, then you can regulate the qi. The breath is where it starts, and that makes everything else possible once it becomes more effortless through practice
