Hi Sifu Terry, I have been practicing FP for a little bit more than one week now, and I have to say that even if I feel a lot of tingling and energy movements during the practice, I'm a bit concerned about the breathing, and I'm wondering if the practice suits me,as I have an asthma and allergies background, and focusing on my breathing especially on the belly area makes me feel like I'm suffocating, and that oppressive feeling lasts during the day as well. I've been dealing with depression as well for the past 3 years, that was the reason why I got interested in meditation and related stuff, I started 1 year and half ago. I don't really think it helped me a lot to feel better, so that's why I'm still looking for better options as I don't want to consider the antidepressant approach. So I'm ready to give a try to qi gong now, as I have the feeling it might be more effective, I think as well that my depression is linked to the chakras between my throat and solar plexus, so it might have something to do with the suffocating feeling that I have during practice. So I would really appreciate if you could give me some advice. It feels less suffocating as well with the seated meditations practices. Thank you =) Aurélien

Hi everyone, I'm new on this forum, I just got interested very recently in all kind of energetic pratices, that's how I ended up here. Otherwise I've been practicing meditation for a little bit more than one year now. I feel like I needed some change, or to go toward a more active practice, so I'm sure that the movement component added will do it. I'm really ready to give a big try to the flying phoenix meditation, I've just done it for 2 days, and it feels really revitalizing, I would like to ask the permission to any administrator to have an access to the personal practices forum part, it might be useful to have a look to what is going on with other people routine, I might open a personal log later too. Thank you very much =) See yaaaaa
