Tenaga Dalam
or Inner power is a popular concept in the Malay community throughout
South East Asia particularly Indonesia and Malaysia.
Inner Power in humans is distinguished from external power
(which is usually referred to as the "power" ) in the form of
physical exertion such as physical strength of muscle power.
Basically everyone has what is called the inner power, they
just do not know how to generate, develop or use it. Inner power has been
around us since our birth, but the power is sleeping passive and will
rise if the person is in a state of panic, sleep walking, hypnotized or
tremendous fear. Its a natural reflex of our mind and body when faced with
immediate danger to produce high levels of mental and physical power
instinctively and sometimes without our knowledge or influence.
The History of Tenaga Dalam
Tenaga Dalam has already been known by the ancient Egyptians
In 4000 BC,. In a Papyrus manuscript named "Yedimesish
Ontologia" which was copied from Ancient Gri language, its written that
when activated in a certain ways, shoulder muscles and upper body will issue a strange
power that can knock down or repel the angry people near us. In particular
those who mean us some bodily harm.
Ancient Egyptians called that science by the name Krachtology
from the word "krachtos" meaning power and "logos" meaning
science.
From Egypt, Krachtology evolved into Babylon, Greece, Rome
and Persia. Such internal power was also known as Dacht in Persia
. Its said that the tribe Bukht from Persia, used the famous science of
fighting or self defense called Dahtuz which enabled them to knock out
or knock down the enemy from a distance.
Persian nobility was trained in using Daht.
People of Chinese, Tartar, Patan, Moghul descents, know of
some martial arts that can knock people from afar.
Some of the famous Chinese arts that use similar concept
are:
Zhan Zhuang, Da Chen Chuan, Wie Kong etc.
The concept of being able to affect other people and objects
from a distance has not been unknown to the ancient Chinese and has had the
name Lin Kong Jin or the empty hand.
This Science eventually spread from China to Vietnam,
Cambodia, Malaya and Indonesia and from there it evolved in multiple streams
such as silat Mandar of Sulawesi, East Java Timpung arts and Jurus Setia Prana
of West Java.
Since then Tenaga dalam has been a vital part of Pencak Silat
martial arts knowledge throughout Malaysian peninsula aside from being used and
practiced trough out the world.
Right until recently this knowledge has strictly been
reserved for the members of Royal families In China as well as in Malaysia and
Indonesia and even Japan and even now in todays free communication world it
still remains mystery since only those who show proper mind attitude and the
humble spirit will be initiated into the world or energy.
Methods of training
The inner power in general is
activated through special breathing techniques such as: abdominal breathing ,
chest breathing , natural breathing and breath retention .
The movements are taught in a group
of respiratory gymnastic exercises.
People have been using Internal
Energy for several purposes, including exercise, meditation, martial arts and
healing.
From 1980 to 1992 Observations that
were conducted in the United States and Japan showed that out of the hands of a
healer, energy (Prana) bio-magnetic field radiated with a frequency of
0.3 to 30 Hz with an average of around 7-8 Hz activities.
An expert in Qi-Gong can emit large
enough field that can be detected by scientific energy measurement equipment.
Further observations were conducted into involving acoustic field noise and
thermal fields, through these findings medical science was encouraged enough to
begin to study it.
