  3. Qigong Basics: Gathering Chi?

    Drawing qi from the outside is simple. Just think about something, and your qi will align with it. If you think about your cat, your qi will align with your cat's qi, if you think about the sun, your qi will align with sun qi. Be careful what you intentionally connect to though, because some things have worse energy than others. Stars (north star, even the big dipper) generally have very highly refined qi-- in the head. Don't do it too long though, it can cause stagnation. Connecting to yourself is the best practice
  4. New guy says hi!

    Not sure if we are as experienced as the redditor made us sound. Seems like we're full of angry russians and V-cats lately.
  5. One of the things I've come to realize is that my cultivation lets me to not give a crap about god, and to take responsibility for myself. Maybe these thoughts of yours are due to a lack of sleep? Either way I think if you take something like god out of the equation, it could help you gain a more stable peace of mind with your personal issues.

  19. I Ching hexagram 15

    any changing lines?
  20. I don't think there is any particular need for discussion on this topic. When systems are compared based on their external form, any methods have already lost their effectiveness. The cultivator themselves is a bigger factor in terms of progressing. After having tried numerous methods, Buddha just sat down under a tree and attained enlightenment. Fuxi himself observed the patterns in nature and wrote the original hexagrams for the I Ching, which later became the basis for Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching. What does that say about their inspiration? Perhaps after having achieved themselves spiritually and grasped the essence, not the leftovers, can the cultivator then come up with an unbiased conclusion in this matter. But will this even be an issue for them by then? I often have to remind myself to not bullshit myself into thinking that I know what the texts are saying without having any first hand experience, because in the end, I'd only be frustrating myself.
