  3. Taoism has been kind to me

    Hey, Long story, short. Tried 8 brochades randomly on youtube. And had strong calming, and centering effects straight away. After lurking on this forum, i narrowed it down to Ken Cohens, and Spring Forest Qigong as a next step. (SPQ had way too strong effect on my body and emotions, so im waiting a bit after some scary moments ) I've had eczema and candida albicans issues since i was 2 years old which only got worse in time to severe social anxiety and neurosis, bells palsy (losing contact with half of my face), clogged sinuses and digestion issues. This stacked with a imbalanced family dynamic and some dark clouds, made my life feel worthless. I am now about 3 months in of cultivation and practice everyday (Two 30 min sessions), and i have never been healthier, or remembering feeling better. After about a week in my practice, my body didnt want meat, so ive been a 'vegetarian' since then round about 2-3 months in.. This happened very naturally, and was effortless. Have had a spiritual/occult inclination since i was a kid, and since then (now 28) ive tried Yogic/Buddhist practices, which did nothing for me compared to the Taoist systems, which i find deeply mystical and practical to say the least. Never had results like these. Love it that this forum exists, and reading posts from people with experience both negative and positive. Cheers
  4. Taoism has been kind to me

    I started with the youtube video for about 2 weeks +, then moved on to Ken Cohens stuff. Tried to step up two Spring Forest Qigong, but gave me a few days of discomfort (diarrhea, strong shifts in body feeling etc). So now im currently doing some exercises from Damo Mitchell's book Philosophical Art of Change + Cohen's Healing sounds, Marrow Cleansing etc. Mind you i am intermittent fasting everyday (4 hour eating window) , which could work well with deep breathing i would imagine.
