Just sayin'. It kind of looks like MJ got mixed up - he quit TM and started doing Qigong, which has at it's basis the distribution of Qi energy - just like the ME. Just sayin'.
You have to wonder how a guy could get so indoctrinated in just a few years working in a kitchen. In various Buddhist Qigong traditions, the aim is to still the mind, either through outward focus, for example on a place, or through inward focus on the breath, a mantra, a koan, emptiness, or the idea of the eternal. In the Confucius scholar tradition, meditation is focused on humanity and virtue, with the aim of self-enlightenment. Go figure. "Qigong is a meditative practice that utilizes breath awareness, visualization, mantra, chanting, sound, and focus on philosophical concepts such as qi circulation, aesthetics, or moral values. In traditional Chinese medicine and Daoist practice, the meditative focus is commonly on cultivating qi in dantian energy centers and balancing qi flow in meridian and other pathways."
