Nice, I definitely think that intermittent fasting, abandonment of simple carbohydrates/grains (essentially a paleo/ketogenic diet) followed by periods of longer fasts is the best way to live, both in terms of physical health/longevity, but also spiritual development/consciousness and improvement of mental clarity/intellect. I feel that there should be a gradual progression towards permanent "Bigu"/not ingesting foods whatsoever, as while a diet of say meat and vegetables and herbs is very nourishing for the body, and can be used to replenish jing and the like, there is still a crudeness to the act of killing and eating physical living beings, and a descending level of "karmic" damage from say eating an animal, to eating a plant, but that plant still wants to live and provide seed. Fruits seem to be the only living beings that "want" to be eaten, but have their seeds spared and planted. The lifestyle and diet of the average person in the West is geared towards creating docile, and intellectually malformed robots who have just enough energy and concentration to get them through a 9-5 shift 5 days a week, then have no energy left over to fulfill their true reasons for being incarnated in this life on this planet, or confront the true issues of this society. Your allusions to music theory are always fascinating to me, likely why Pythagoras spent so much time on it, as with many things, it is a microcosmic model of the grander designs of the universe, which in my opinion, is based on a fractal system whereby the most infinitely minute shares the same structure as the most in-comprehensively grand structures in the known Universe and beyond. As Above, So Below, as has been said. I look forward to checking out your new blog, I've always thought you are the most switched on and knowledgeable person here on the forum, and a fellow Professor Yan Xin enthusiast no-less haha! Have you read the "Yan Xin Qigong and the Contemporary Sciences" document available on the CIA Freedom of Information Act Library? Some truly groundbreaking and fascinating stuff in there. Hope you are well mate, and keep up the great stuff! Cheers!

The CIA definitely had an interest (and belief) in psychic or "supernatural" abilities. Even the book by Dr Yan Xin "Yan Xin Qigong and the Contemporary Sciences" was classified by the CIA from the years of 1993 - 2001, I managed to get print outs of the book from the CIA's Freedom of Information Act Library by making a request... great stuff in that book, and shows that the CIA took it seriously enough to classify it for nearly 10 years. Heres a link to the document/book I photographed the pages of... there are many incredible things in here, including descriptions and graphs from some of the studies Dr Yan Xin was performing on external qi, manipulating matter including radioactive isotopes (changing their half-lifes which is considered impossible by any means other than this), crystalising proteins suspended in water, and many other things. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-fSfDFgkZLIUkdFaFZWcTkwTjA In order to read it in order you must "sort" it by name, whether you download it all or view it in the browser.

You have a really bad attitude, I hope you can find some peace in your life and calm the hell down, I'm not here to convince you. And I am not even a proponent on yuanqi being filled up untill puberty ages etc... I just saw this post mentioning that, and it seemed to logically connect with the calcification of the pineal gland, in that the age range, and range of effects are very similar. I'd say it sounds plausible but I am neither here nor there on the subject.

A lot of arrogance and assumptions but no creative or critical thinking? Thie age of 13-17 is also the time when the pineal gland begins to calcify, as well as the time that childrens personalities change radically (not in a hormone way, but in a free-spirited, inquisitive way). There could be purely metaphysical reasons behind this, or it could be connected to some of these physical processes, most notably the pineal glands calcification, which affects spiritual attitudes and abilities, the pineal gland being responsible for the creation of the most powerful psychedelic compound known, D.M.T, considered by many to allow the transitioning to other planes of existence, considering the experiences many have had on it, and the fact that the largest doses of it are released both on the 49th day of gestation in the womb (the same day the sex is decided, and the same day the Tibetan Book of the Death states the soul enters the body), and also at the moment of death.

Garlic is good for the body, but not so good for the mind. It contains some sort of bacteria that affects your brain somewhat, and decreases reaction times. For instance pilots are forbidden from consuming garlic before flying commercially or in the military.

No problem! Apologies again for the delay, I hope this book benefits people , very curious that this book was classified by the CIA from 1993-2001. Shows that Dr Yan Xin's feats are 100% legit in my opinion.

Very sorry for the insanely long delay in photographing and uploading the Yan Xin Qigong and the Contemporary Sciences book I received a scanned copy of from the CIA Freedom of Information Act service. I've yet to go through reading it all myself but it is very interesting and informative from what I've checked out so far, it also includes the full "9 Step Longevity Method" which I have seen in full once before on another site. Here is a link to a folder containing images, make sure you "sort by name" either in the google drive browser or in their own folder if you download them all, as they are in order of number. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-fSfDFgkZLIUkdFaFZWcTkwTjA

Jiang Feng died very recently unfortunately, apparently during the healing of a patient. Possibly doing all these demonstrations of his "electric qi" took a toll on his body and caused damage...

I just received 2 documents from the C.I.A's Freedom of Information Act, delivered all the way to my house in the UK for free, which is nice... There is a short 2 page journal called "On Yan Xin, Qigong Master" by Journal of the American Psychical Research And a large book/document of just under 200 pages - Yan Xin Qigong and the Contemporary Sciences by the International Yan Xin Qigong Association. I will photograph and upload them to this thread in the coming week or so!

That's a shame that the need was felt to remove all the information from the internet, would but such a pity for all that knowledge and info to be lost and forgotten in the future. Fortunately I just received 2 documents from the C.I.A's Freedom of Information Act, delivered all the way to my house in the UK for free, which is nice... There is a short 2 page journal called "On Yan Xin, Qigong Master" by Journal of the American Psychical Research And a large book/document of just under 200 pages - Yan Xin Qigong and the Contemporary Sciences by the International Yan Xin Qigong Association. I will photograph and upload them to this thread in the coming week or so!

Here is another English overdub of the 9 Step Inner Child Longevity practise, this time spoken by an American in a very clear and slow manner, the descriptions seem a bit more indepth and precise also, well worth having a listen I think! Uploaded it here - https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9HsDBzj9D0aQ2RyZERCcDRzSHM

I think for now the Inner Child Longevity instructions are probably very useful for basic foundational training, as well as what Drew explained in the first post here, with the hands>lower dantien positioning... Soon I will be translating and sharing many more documents that appear to have more techniques and practises that they may from more advanced levels... Can't wait to see what is in some of this stuff!

Link to the replacement blog of "conspirachi.blogspot" http://voidisyinyang.blogspot.com

I've heard good stuff about Wang Liping, so without reading it myself I would say yes. Also here is a free copy of a book written by someone I would consider the great living Qigong master known to the public. Dr Yan Xin, who has performed in many studies published in the West, wherein he has been able to use his external qi to change the decay rate of radioactive particles, influence DNA/RNA, among other miraculous achievements... he even healed George Bush Senior (when he was President of the USA, and Bill Clinton). https://www.scribd.com/doc/101462079/Yan-Xin-Secrets-Benefits-of-Internal-Qigong-Cultivation

Any chance you could post (or send me via PM) a link to your blog? As there is no link or anything visible for me on your post or signature etc..

Unfortunately I have been spending more time trying to collect and save as much information on Yan Xin and his writings as possible, rather than actually practising the methods (undisciplined Western mind haha...) a lot of new videos have appeared in the last month, and many have also been made private or removed, so I am trying to horde as much of this as possible so that it can be shared again with everyone rather than lost and descending into obscurity. I now have numerous Chinese documents and about 25-30hours of video in Chinese... the documents I hope to get translated soon, the videos I have been looking into speech>text conversion software so may have some luck with that also in the future.

Ah I see, any chance you could send it to me or upload it here? I may be able to use some software that can convert it into computer text and then put it through a translator from there. Here is the audio recording of the 9 Step Inner Child Longevity technique, with English translation. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9HsDBzj9D0adXFmZ3lJS2VIMk0 Also heres a quite nice bit of advice by Yan Xin called "The Essentials of Qigong Training" http://web.archive.org/web/19970615222922/www.owlnet.rice.edu/~tanzil/80char.html

Some "Qigong Essentials" from Dr Yan Xin, simple but good advice, seriously this guy is really worth listening to and looking into. http://web.archive.org/web/19970615222922/www.owlnet.rice.edu/~tanzil/80char.html

Check out this post here, especially the writings about Horse Stance (Mai Bu), and Quick Fire Breathing (Fast reverse breathing) helping with abstinence and building Qi. http://www.thedaobums.com/topic/40918-thoughts-about-chunyi-lins-spring-forest-qi-gong/?p=686011 Also if you have not heard of (Dr) Yan Xin, I definitely would recommend doing some reading about him, in my mind he is the great living qigong master known to the public. He has participated in numerous published scientific studies, being able to influence many different types of matter with his external qi, including changing the decay rate of radioative isotopes. Here is a good thread with some information, and techniques given by him. http://www.thedaobums.com/topic/30754-what-became-of-qigong-master-yan-xin/page-4 Goodluck guys!

There are many videos all in Chinese of Yan Xin on Youtube and other sites, also there was a YouTube "Video" (actually just audio with a picture of the cover of "Secrets and Benefits of Qigong Cultivation") which had Yan Xin talking/explaining the steps of the "Inner Child Longevity" technique, while being translated in real-time by a woman. The video was made private on YouTube by the uploader, but as I downloaded it before this happened I would be more than happy to re-upload it. Was this the video you were referring to? Also if the book is on your computer in text, it may be worth putting it through google translate, for a very rough but still interesting translation. Would you be willing to post the book/audio? I would be very interested in checking it out! Thanks!

Sorry I didn't have time to write the steps myself as I still haven't gotten round to listening to the whole instructions. However here is a nice guide with some illustrations http://web.archive.org/web/19990117030127/dolphin.upenn.edu/~yxqa1/intro/9step.html (Text without illustrations pasted below) The opening posture should be standardized. If you are sitting on a chair, sit on the front one-third or one-forth of the chair. Your legs should be perpendicular to the ground. If you have illness or low blood pressures, put your knees together. If you are standing, your feet should be a little bit wider than the width of your shoulder and your knees should be bent slightly. If you are sitting on the floor, you should sit with your legs crossed. Straighten your back and contract your abdomen slightly. Straighten your neck and draw in your chin slightly towards the neck. Put both hands in front of your abdomen, palms facing up, aligned on top of each other. Ladies should put their right hands on top, gentlemen put their left hands on top. The lower hand should be at about navel height, the upper hand should be about 1 to 4 inches above the lower hand. The five fingers should be somewhat straightened and about 0.2 inches apart. It is important that the little fingers stretch downward slightly. Your shoulders and elbows should be fully relaxed, but the armpits should remain hollow. The upper arms and hands should be 1 to 4 inches away from the body, and they should not touch the body. At the same time, the lips touch lightly, and the teeth are slightly apart. Don not bite them together. Your tongue should be positioned on of the following four ways: < >If you have heart disease or high blood pressure, you should let the top of the tongue touch the back of the lower front teeth (see 2 in Figure 1).If you have a history of mental disorders, have mood disturbances, or have trouble sleeping, you should curl your tongue downward to touch the ligament underneath the tongue (see 3 in Figure 1).If you are overweight and want to lose weight, you should put your tongue in the middle of the mouth without touching anything (see 4 in Figure 1). (if you have low blood pressures, this tongue position should not be used).If you are healthy or if any of the above three situations is not appropriate for you, your tongue should be curled up to touch the gum just behind the upper front teeth (see 1 in Figure 1).Then, please partially close your eyes and look at your nose. While looking at your nose, gradually close your eyes completely. Visualize that you are looking at your nose with the middle point between your eyebrows. Please maintain the same body position. Imagine that there is a light beam coming out from the middle point between your eyebrows, the tianmu acupuncture point. The source of the light is the top of the head, the baihui acupuncture point (see 2 in Figure 2). During the say, imagine the sun light, or at night imagine the moonlight, starlight and electric lights entering the baihui point on the top of your head. The light then emanates from the middle point between the eyebrows, passes through your nose and goes down to your palms. From your palms, the light enters your navel. You should begin to enter a state in which you seem to aware but are not too aware, in which you are listening but not listening. Try to feel and sense the following images. Follow the directions to practice. Breathe deeply, softly, and regularly. Imagine that the pores of your whole body are opening and closing following the rhythm of your breathing. When you inhale, your pores open. Imagine and feel that the pores of your whole body open up. When you are exhaling, if you are not ill, imagine that the pores of your whole body are closed. If you are ill, the pores should remain open, but close them for a moment towards the end of each exhalation. Then go on to the next inhalation. Use your pores to help your breathing. Use your imagination to regulate the breathing. Breathe long and deep. Try to prolong the inhalation and exhalation. Next, Please see the image of yourself when you were a naive and happy 6 or 7 year old. Ladies see the image of yourselves when you were 6, gentlemen see the image of yourselves when you were 7. Whether it is 6 or 7 does not matter. Just recall or imagine that you feel the same as when you were 6 or 7 years old. Recall the thoughts, feelings, and attitudes you had when you were a child. Keep the naive, pure, and merciful smile you had when you were a child. Gradually advance deeper into the process. Please enter a state in which you are listening but not really listening, you are imagining but not really imagining. Step OnePlease imagine that there is a fire or red light in your lower abdomen, and that there is some water on top of the fire. A lotus flower is blossoming above the water (see Figure 3). Please use your tianmu point to imagine that there is a fresh lotus flower, or a water lily, or a big red flower. The flower is opening and losing above the water. When you inhale, the lotus flower opens. When you exhale, the lotus flower closes. Use your forehead to imagine that the pores open when you inhale. Imagine that there are many kinds of lights, colors, sounds, and fragrances entering your body. All forms of energy - material and information are entering your body through the pores while you are inhaling. This energy-information enters your body through your open pores. This energy-information is then gathered into the blossoming lotus flower via your blood, lymph, bone marrow, etc. Keep on imagining in this way. Gradually use your forehead to observe while you are imagining. When you are exhaling, imagine that the lotus flower is opening and closing of the lotus flower, imagine that the intensity of the lights is continuously increasing. the read light, golden light, or many colorful lights are forcing gases with diseases out of the body. Use the lights in the lotus flower to forcefully push bad gases through the pores of whole body, especially through the bottom of th feet, out of the body. Based on the above process, further imagine that your heart is contracting while you are inhaling. Your heart is relaxing and dilating while you are exhaling. Imagine that the heart in your chest or left chest is brightly illuminated by the red and golden lights. The lights from the lotus flower are continuously increasing their intensity and the light light up all of your internal organs, especially your heart (see Figure 3). During the practice, using the middle point of your forehead, gradually imagine and observe the changes on your skin and inside the body. It does not matter if you can not create the image or if you do not see or feel anything. Be aware that you are imagining but not imagining, you are thinking but not thinking. Once you can coordinate the imagination process, start to count your breathing. Count your breaths to the number of your age. Count each inhalation and each exhalation. Count your breaths to the number of your age. Then start counting from 1 again. While you are counting your breath, you should coordinate the imagination process mentioned above. Each time you count an inhalation, you ought to imagine your pores opening, something entering your body and reaching the opening lotus flower. Imagining that your heart is contracting. During the exhalation process, the bad gases are forced out of the body, the lotus flower closes, the heart relaxes and dilates. Coordinate the imagination and observation. Gradually sense and feel the changes. Breathe deeply, softly, and regularly. After you have counted to the number of your age, start from 1 again. Repeat the cycle once or many times. You may count up to 7 times of your age, or repeat even more times. This is step one. Ending ProcedureWe will now practice the ending procedure. The ending procedure is especially important for those of you who wishes to practice Qigong at home. When you are ready to end your practice, don't hurry. Remind yourself to open your eyes and think that you are going to end your practice. Use your mind to make your movements smaller and softer. The stop the movements with your thoughts. If you have had change from a sitting position to a reclining position. Begin the ending procedure after the movements have stopped. You should remind yourself to first stop the movements. Prolong your exhalation and gradually open your eyes. Preparation for Ending Raise your hands in front of your chest as if you were holding a ball in front of you. Your palms should face each other, finger pointing forward, thumb side up. Your finger should bend lightly, as if you were holding a favorite fruit of yours. Imagine that you are holding a big fruit, your favorite fruit. Imagine that the fruit has colors and lights. Breathe deeply 6 or 7 times. Gentleman should breathe 7 times. Ladies should breathe 6 times. Count one inhalation and one exhalation as one breath. When you are exhaling, both hands pull apart slowly. When you are inhaling, both hands push towards the middle slowly. If you had vigorous spontaneous movements during your practice, you must open your eyes. If you did not have spontaneous movements, you should close your eyes (see Figure 11). Pay attention to the sensations of your palms and fingers. Feel if your fingers or palms are sore, numb, swollen, heavy, painful, cold or cool, warm or hot, see if you feel wind, resistance, etc. Try to remember the sensations you are having now. If you wish to acquire the benefits of special abilities in your future Qigong practice, you should remember these sensations and add positive thoughts. This will help you to achieve benefits and train for special abilities. Breathe deeply 6 to 7 times while your hands are opening and closing. Do this slowly. When you are inhaling, both hands are closing slowly towards middle, but your hands should not touch each other. When you are exhaling, slowly pull both hands apart. Try to feel the sensations. Remember the sensations. You should remember the sensations of your hands and body. It is important to recall the sensations and feelings you have today when you practice Qigong in the future. The information in this lecture room is good, nearly optimal. You may make your most important wish now. That is, think for a short moment of the important wishes you have as you are attending this Qigong lecture. After counting 6 or 7 breathes, open your eyes. Put the palms together, wrists touching the chest, fingers pointing forward. Everybody must open their eyes. The formal ending procedure starts from here. The above is done in preparation for the ending. The preparation for ending is also a method of maintaining the effects of the training and raising special abilities. We will now begin the general ending procedure. General Ending Procedure Please imagine that you are pushing your feet deeply into the ground. You have the sensation that your feet are inserted 3 feet deep into the ground. Apply force to both feet. Push your feet into the ground and grip the ground with all ten toes. Visualize your big toes, little toes and heels griping the ground. Three points are gripping the ground. Tense up your thighs, tense up all the muscles in your legs, and contact the buttocks and pelvis. Forcefully tense and expand the abdomen and the waist. Gradually bite your teeth together. Relax the tongue and let the tongue circle around inside your mouth. Gentlemen should make their tongues circle 64 times clockwise. The clock is facing forward. Usually, you don't need to count the number of circles, just keep the number in your mind. If you have saliva, swish it around in your mouth then swallow it. Imagine that the saliva goes down to the lower dantian. Next, push your hands against each other, tense the whole body, push both hands together hard, like your whole body is trembling. Imagine that the pores of your whole body are closed, exhale deeply three times. Concentrate only on three exhalations, at the same time, imagine that bad gases with disease are further squeezed out of the body in this process (see 1 in Figure 12). Next inhale deeply three times, imagine that the pores of the skin are closed, and that bad gases can not enter the body, and that the internal energy will not leave the body (see 2 in Figure 12). Next, rapidly rub your hands together. If you wear glasses, you should take them off. Rapidly rub your hands together until your palms are hot. After your hands are hot, gently cover your open eyes with both palms. Imagine that a red light, golden light, and purple light are entering your eyes to improve or maintain your vision. Breathe calmly for a short time. Then, slowly massage the face up to the top of head while inhaling deeply. Cover your head with both hands, palms on top of each other. Gentlemen should put their left hands on top, ladies put their right hands on top. Then imagine that during the day the sun light, or at night the moonlight, starlight, and electric lights, enter your body from the top of the head down to the lower abdomen. Imagine that the lights are sealed inside the body. Then exhale deeply as both hands massage down along your face. Try to imitate a yawn. It is better if you make some sounds while exhaling and yawning. As your palms slowly massage down to the lower jaw, put your palms together with middle fingers touching underneath the chin, fingers pointing upward. Then, inhale deeply as your palms massage up along the face again, until they cover the top of your head. Your palms should be on top of each other. Repeat this process, breathing deeply 3 to 7 times. Try to stimulate real yawns. Massage your face up and down. Breathe deeply and yawn. The yawning should be deep, loud and complete. Repeat 3 to 7 times. You should feel refreshed after the deep breathing and yawning. Then cross your hands at the part between thumb and index finger, one palm over the back of the other hand (see 1 in Figure 13). Cover the naval with both hands. Gentlemen should put their left hands over their right hands, ladies should put their right hands over their left hands, palms facing your abdomen (see 1 in Figure 13). Imagine that some lights enter your naval or that the full contents of the imagination process of your practice enter your naval with the lights. Then visualize a light beam circling around the naval. The light beam should circle counter-clockwise 64 times for gentlemen (see 3 in Figure 13), and clockwise 49 times for ladies (see 4 in Figure 13). The clock faces outward. If you have any digestive problems, you may massage around the naval with a circular motion 64 or 49 times. If you don't have enough time, just think of the number of circles. You don't need to count. Finally, think "I'm done," then pull your hands apart and return to a natural position. Move the joints of your body, the waist, shoulders, legs and arms. If you don't feel refreshed, please repeat the ending procedure starting from rubbing your hands together. You may repeat this 3 to 7 times. You should be able to end your practice completely after repeating the ending procedure 3 to 7 times. If you had vigorous spontaneous movements during your practice and can not end your practice in a short time, you need to spend more time repeating the general ending procedure, or you may use the compulsory ending procedure. Compulsory Ending Procedure If one does the general ending part, but cannot end the practice completely, one can use the compulsory ending procedure. Whenever one needs to do the compulsory ending, one needs not worry about the problem. One should have confidence that one can end the meditation. Think that the whole body is relaxing, loosing and drained of energy. If standing, sit down to do the ending part. If seated, lie down to do the ending part. Men pat the top of their heads seven times with the left hand. Women pat the top of their heads six times with the right hand. After patting the head, use the forefinger and thumb of that hand to twist the inner part of eyes 6 to 7 times. Then feel around the eye balls, the two sides of nose and between nose and mouth for seven times until feeling sour, a little bit paralyzed, and bloated. Then use the middle finger to push and twist the part below the Adam's apple (mihu), to make yourself cough. This can adjust the whole body system. Use the hand that patted your head to make a half fist, and hit the center of the chest (the part between the nipples) 6 to 7 times. Then make two whole fists, placing the thumbs at the first joint of the forefinger. Place these fists on the ribs of both sides, and then make a forward bend, breathing in at the same time. Then straighten the back, and breath out. Repeat that 7 times. Then using the fists with a little more energy, hit both sides of the back from bottom to top, and then hit it in reverse direction. Repeat that 6 to 7 times. Straighten the back and sit. Keeping the hands half fisted, use the palms to pat the left and right chest, the back and the abdomen 24 times each. Bring the palms together and repeat the processes of the general ending. This compulsory ending is useful for people who cannot stop the meditation. If one still cannot finish the meditation, one can do the compulsory ending several times. It definitely can end the meditation without any problem.

You have no idea how borderline obsessed I have become with Yan Xin haha... I just wish there were some Yan Xin Qigong classes/groups in the UK, after reading all the studies he's participated in, and translations of some of his writings, I consider him one of the most important people to have ever lived, that we in the public have heard about atleast... I find it very unusual that there is so little information about him in comparison to his previous fame and numerous accomplishments, not even a wikipedia page. I heard that the Yan Xin International Association requested the deleted/removal of much information about him on the internet... I've tried twice to contact them in regard to any UK groups or news about any upcoming events/seminars/studies Yan Xin may be taking part in, but no response through their email, and their Chinese site email does not work at all anymore.

Hmm... the 9 Step Inner Child Longevity video has been made private... very glad I downloaded it as soon as I saw it (with English overdub). I will list the steps for you in the next day or two once I have had a proper listen through the nearly 2 hour lecture. Some of the key points are, sitting on the edge of a chair so that the accupunction points between the genitals and anus are stimulated to increase chi flow, tip of the tongue touching mouth palate just behind front teeth (these 2 steps seem to be fundamental in many traditional qigong excercises), then smiling while imagining yourself as a 7 year old child, and having the feelings and attitudes of yourself as a child, if I remember correctly there is also visualising lower dantien as a fire that is evaporating steam up into the body etc... I will post again soon with a full and organised step guide.

Here is a YT channel with a whole load of Yan Xin lecture videos, all in Chinese I'm afraid. One day I am going to ask one of my old Chinese friends to translate for me (when I have some money to offer him), then will upload the translations on a website and forums such as this one. These are different than the 13 hours worth already posted earlier in the thread. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGbSz6Qo_mImzwbV7PbnECA/videos?shelf_id=0&view=0&sort=dd One thing of interest, is that his appearance changed extremely radically between the years 1994-1996... I wonder if the stress of the Chinese government, and the energy expenditure of healing (he healed George Bush Senior, and the Chinese Premiere of the time who was dying) caught up with him perhaps... would be very interested to see what he looks like now, perhaps he is resting and regaining his energy.
