Falun Dafa/Gong advice & questions

[iTommy]

Hey you! I've been approached today by a woman who offered me to join her and others doing something called "Falun Dafa/Gong". She talked about energy, "illnesses" being cured when doing certain techniques for some time and so on. I am pretty skeptical about it, on a website with information about it, it seems to be somewhat dogmatic and belief based. I wonder if someone here has more insight into this topic than I currently have (mine is very limited). Do you think that it is worth it in the long run? Would I be subscribing to delusions here? Afterall, some of the stuff said/written about it, seems pretty flimsy. Do these techniques really do (with your mind/body) what they supposedly do, or is it more of a placebo nature?

I mean... I am open-minded to some extent and I'd probably check it out, but I'd rather be careful and if possible avoid doing things that don't really provide that what is "promised".
