Here’s the mantra Gandhi used, which transforms anger and fear into something greater and takes you beyond the ocean of rebirth. Highly recommended for individual peace and eventually bliss. Om Sri Rama Jaya Rama Jaya Jaya Rama.

Hey Spin Qigong Sifu! Yep, you're feeling qi. There are five common sensations: heat, cold, tingles, pain, and itching. You'll know it and likely if you feel something, it's there, just don't overthink it. Think less, feel more. Simple as that.

Thanks for clarifying. Kimchi is great. How could I forget these? Haha.

From my learnings, sadly, it’s all shit if it’s not fresh. Preservatives and GMOs are terrible, and sadly canned food can vary depending on what food is being canned. Cup ramen isn’t even food too.

Those are all bad. You can't rank them at all at that point because it's like comparing wet shit to dry shit--it's all shit.

Whether I'm "jumping in the middle" or not, the post I saw was what compelled me to say something. Italy is not unique, as the Philippines right now is also quite exhausted, so it's not unique. I don't know where you live when you say "here" and if you are in North America, it can vary if you are in the Midwest or South rather than the coastal states and major cities. Personally, I have friends in different parts of the world, but they are also reporting that this is quite a serious issue. I haven't shouted you down, but your questions appear to be cautiously cynical about the gravity of the situation. Please also keep in mind some people in this forum have family members or friends who have contracted coronavirus, so there could potentially be hostility from others here, not me. How old are you? I'm neither that young nor that old, but I have seen enough to know when it's serious, if my time working in global health says anything as a professional. As for the current crisis, yes: it's really that serious. I haven't seen anything this bad since I dealt with community and national health in East Africa. I can't comment on this as strictly fake news, but I've also worked in media, and can say that on the one hand, there is fake news, but more commonly is a lazy intern or a grumpy technician who hasn't had their coffee or lunch break who loads the wrong footage into a clip. It's a lot more common than you think, which is precisely why I left that industry for a while!

A handful of sand: each grain, man's impermanence fading in the wind

It appears you are still experimenting and exploring other systems. Since your initial post about instructions on the Mo Pai, it is highly recommended you stop that practice before mixing it with anything else for your safety, and to stick with a system long enough to develop a foundation. Exploration is fine, but you're jumping around what seems like every other month.

This is still a false comparison, which is based on a faulty understanding. While there are increased sudden and quick deaths, the nature of these deaths and the preventability mechanisms like immunizations are not. We have flu shots--we do not have coronavirus shots. We have studied the flu and different strains. Coronavirus is totally new. Let us not forget that this is overwhelming the existing healthcare system, as staff and hospital beds, resources, and logistics are unable to deal with the rising number of cases, and as those cases continue to increase in numbers, people are unable to seek care for other issues that had existed prior.

They can question it all they want, but the sudden and quick deaths that keep coming and the lack of a means to address it are still a concern.

False comparison. Please see this link: A few key points quoted from the member who posted that in response to this article, https://www.statnews.com/2020/03/17/a-fiasco-in-the-making-as-the-coronavirus-pandemic-takes-hold-we-are-making-decisions-without-reliable-data/#comments:

As if Bezos would be hurt by spending a few bucks on people who, oh you know--actually fucking need extra cash?! The vacuous king of hoarders will only invite the rot into his reserves and whatever is left of that soulless core inside that thick and perverse flesh of his.

I will post my standard response here: Consult Eric Isen to see what is wrong with you and what can be done. www.ayurvedicintuitive.com

This prospective member, who is one of many people awaiting approval to post here, @Takingcharge, sent me this and I am posting it on his behalf because @sean isn’t approving new people’s requests to use the board. Answer on this thread or PM the user himself to help out. So apologies if its a bit messy, im writing it on my phone and i dont really know how to ditscuss and describe This very consisely so its a bit of a mess. so im not a qigong guy at all - only experience i have is some basic mindfullness and self hypnosis processes. I came here kind of desperately because i heard qigong worked directly with the nervous system and that you guys have all kinds of mappings and frameworks. So all that i know is what i read here and bruce frantsiz videos om youtube So went to a hypnotherapist and did a trance process and it did something to my nervous system - this has been going on since november I somehow activated something in my nervous system locally and manually while the rest stayed untouched. This created all kinds of havoc. it was making me ungrounded, very clouded, eye pain and heavy stomach cramps. I felt under attack by my own body during the hypnosis process i was doing a visualisation process while activating a strong feeling state - looking back now - during this i deeply tensed and untensed the muscles (and probably the nerves) at the base of my skull , back of my spine and back of my upper legs. that seems to be kind of one and the same tract and that seems to be the tract it runs down. maybe this tensing untensing is what caused it to activate locally there because it activated those nerve groups and held my focus. so il just describe what is happening: so either nervous system electricity activity or actual energy, would start moving down the back of my legs (maybe just starting at the base of my skull moving down) , moving down my ankles - going underneat my footsoles - up on the front side move over my belly, solar plexus erea and get kind of stuck at my forehead / hairline . and it would only run down the middle part. The middle part of the back of my leg. so not the sides of my legs, it would move up over the middle/center part of my shins , upperlegs , the middle of my belly - over my belly button but a little braoder then that. i would feel it in the middle of my under arm and i think i would feel it mainly in the middle 2 fingers, ring and middle finger etc it would burnat the back of my upper legs, alot under my foot soles. lowerfeet/shins on the front side my ankles felt like it had a circle around it the electricity extending outwards very strange to feel. i would get severe stomach cramps as soon as it moved over my belly. then all around my head i felt huge pressure, in my head pressure. there was a weird huge crown around my head like it was actually it extending outwards. and other very strong nerve sensations . it created headaches and my eyes would feel like falling closed and staying like that. i also had severe muscle twitching everywhere looking back now what i think has happened i had activated manually a different stream of electricity locally in a part of my nervous system - while the rest of my nervous system was doing different things - it would move against the rest of thr nervous system and it would fight eachother - i had severe muscle spasms burning for months. top of my scalp and bottom of my feet is where it would collide i think, my footsoles, and the moving up on the front side had huge resistance as well , i think alot of the muscle twitching and huge burning and all the crazyness was it running up agaisnt huge resistance because it isnt supposed to run like that. somtimes it would actually win and go over my scalp and it would go down my back then i would turn unnaturally cold ice cold. and then later heat would shoot back up my back and id became fully warm again. i would constantly get icecold and somewhere turn warm again it woukd constantly be doing battle so my current state is - the intensity lessened. because it mostly seem to have won so no severe muscle spasms much anymore . it now flows very unpleasantly down the back of my legs, up the frontside of my body is even more unpleasant. it hardens my belly it creates headaches, and eye pain, i think the eye pain is mainly because it gets stuck at my hairline head era , whne it moves over the scalp down the back it diminishes and my eyes get lighter. - but it feels really off and unnatural and very unpleasant. i have no idea what to do about this? any advice, ideas, suggestions anyhing really is very welcome i fear i somehow ruined my body by the way for a while it would also shoot insidemy belly instead of over it - and it would go straight up on the iside of me and push agaisnt the top of my scalp from the inside. i dont really think its energy because from what ive read thats suppsoed to feel really good and envigorating, so its probably nervoussystem or not. i really dont know

Yeah, totally different, I get that. I'm mostly still jaded by how the anti-vaxxers swelled in numbers the past few years and how a lot of previously eradicated diseases have made their return, so that was more of a sardonic moment there.

Same thing here. Some idiot yelled at me when I told him to give me space when he kept running a couple feet right in front of me when there was a lot of space before they closed the roof deck. He asked me if there were any signs saying to maintain social distance, I pointed to the signs by the elevator and on each floor. He then challenged me saying it wouldn't matter if he ran behind me, and I mentioned how it is transmitted in the air and on surfaces. He then said that nobody is forcing him to do that, and I mentioned that there's an executive order to maintain social distance. He then called me an asshole and ran off, then kept his distance. Sometimes I wonder if we should just let them get the damned virus and experiencing the full range of symptoms that patients describe as feeling like drowning for one.

I hate microwaves. Haven't used one for years. Visited my mom's, and my stepdad insists on using it. They got me one and I don't use it. Tried to give mine away. Hate it. Have no use for it; would rather eat cold food than use a microwave.

Nothing to do with whom you're saying something nice about--it's reading the OP and following the structure. Go read the first post to see the structure and try to follow that instead.

Too bad nobody in this thread is able to follow the guidelines of the OP. But at least they're honoring the spirit of saying something nice...

No.

Another absurd thread on practices and claiming it's TCM fighting coronavirus in China, which people like @Walker will certainly have a field day taking apart. For those who hate reading on Twitter, here it is from Thread Reader: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1244275982166413312.html
