awaken

I don't suggest that meditation on the blockages. I did it before. Not very good. The blockage would be strengthen You need another way to deal with it. The lower type of energy. We have many types of energy. These different types of energy work in the different layers of body. Different depth of consciousness deal with different types of energy. When we do meditation, we only deal with one of them.

Enlightenment is a direction, not a long road So there is no shortcut Only changing the direction inside And see nothing inside.... If you keep on watch outside, you feel "you" are exist And you want to find a way to chage yourself But when you keep on watching inside, what did you find? Body? Feeling? Thinking? Illusion? ......

Ha, it is normal, not overload. I had these before. Because you spent "2 hours" and your attutide is right, you don't expect anything, just concentrate on your body. So...it is easy to let the energy run. We just need time and right direction. You got both. You don't need to learn any new "methods" , the way you do is totally right, very good. Please don't change your way. These feeling will change. Energy is always changing. I hope you can keep this right direction and see what is going on next. Especially, don't lead these chi to lower dan tian. It will destroy your perfect condition now. What you experience is very good. If you think the energy is too strong and you are afraid, you just need to relax more. Everything will be fine.

Ha, are you serious?

They are the same thing. No methods.

For a beginner, they are different.

Martial is martial. Someone practice martial went to Shaolin made a Shaolin gung fu. Daoist martial is the same.

What things?

You can do anything. No limit. You can feel tree, sun, stone, the most important is yourself Put down all the expectation Just feel Last for one or two hours a day You will find you really don't need a teacher Trust your feeling

Yes Wu wei TTC ch 2

Does an “accomplished” daoist do something on impulse, does he do some planning, or does he do something inbetween? --> What is accomplished daoist? Why do you imagine one special type of human instead of making desicion by your self? What role do emotions have? does a daoist “deal with it” in some way? ----> I have a lot of emotions before. And these emotions disturbed my life a lot. But after I cultivate in 玄關竅 every day All the emotions vanish Even if I have some emotions in work or family, These emotions vanish very soon. I invite everyone to practice wu Wei with me. But everyone just afraid. What are you going to lose? Nothing. I don't understand why you guys are chasing dao and doubting at the same time. I think it was mentioned in a daoist text that a daoist person does things at the right time, but does this not come forth from thinking / the mind simply understanding cause and effect? ----> Does it matter? Actually, we don't have too many choices in our life. We eat, sleep, work, cultivate..... We are busy.... If it is the aim of daoists to follow feeling/intuition, does this not come forth from mental conditioning? Is a choice “aligned with Dao” a choice that simply does not come forth from clinging and aversion? ---> Don't understand. Think too much. All questiona are one question. You don't do any cultivation. You just keep on thinking and thinking again. You make a maze and live inside.

The path is always there. But you don't want to walk.

Sitting is not the only way to do meditation. Not sitting is also not right. It is not easy to talk in a standard for everyone. The situations are so different for everyone. But the rules are the same. That is why I ask you to write the diaries at least once a week. But few people can do it.

You get the information "2 hours" from someone you trust. Why don't you just do it and get your own answer and prove it "2 hours" is right? Yes, I agree 2 hours is basic. But I use to practice more then two hours , four hours...sometimes even all night, all day. Some people might think 2 hours sitting would be impossible . Yes, I don't force myself sit for two hours. I let my body free.

I do. But the English part is too difficult to understand then the mysterious pass. Ha. True earth, 真土 = 真意 true yii 真意 vs 凡意 ordinary yii = 本來面目，the original face, awareness 覺，正念 right thought vs. 妄念 illusion though = mirror heart vs. illusion heart = Pure awareness vs the focus heart This is most difficult part to distinguish these two parts Only one who is enlightenment can tell what is the difference between them I believe that there are some people have been enlightenment in the forum The most difficult part is 頑空定 I have never mentioned about 頑空定 here Because I have not seen anyone talk about 入定 stillness here It is too trouble to "explain" all these And if you still don't go the right way The more words I explain , the more confusion you would get I don't know why writing daily cultivation diaries is so difficult for you You write diaries, I tell the way you should fix, then you get to the garget So easy. Right? But some people told me they have teacher , so they can't write diaries. Why? I don't understand why. You have a Qi gung teacher. It doesn't mean you can't learn dao. Dao is not Qi gung. Totally different. The methods you practice will never let know what is dao. It only make you have more And more Qi. But you still don't know and can't aware what is dao. All you can do is try to go to forum to discuss with a lot of people. Just like you did here.

Why don't you join me?

I open it every day

Energy practicing I suggest that you start from standing and focus on your hands See if any feeling? Electricity? Warm? Something flowing? See if you can't stand still? Your body move by itself? See how your feet try to look for a balance ? Observe all of these and last at least one hour a day Better in the morning Don't do these just for 5 minutes One hour at least Don't "expect" what would happen Just be patient and "observe"

The first chapter is the most important part of dao. 觀其妙 and 觀其竅 is the most important part of the daoist cultivation. Many people learn Qi gung from many Chinese teachers. And they can feel that there is strong Qi go through them. They think that is dao. Many people ask me a lot of questions about dan dao. Why do these people who cultivate Qi every day don't know anything about dan dao? Because what they learn is Qi , not dao. The entrance of dao is in the chapter 1 of dao de Jin. 觀其妙 and 觀其竅 Not running Qi or Mco Most of people who go the wrong way want to know what happen in the right way. When I told them, the way you go is not right, you should go another way, they don't believe me They insist they are in the right way, and ask me to tell them the feeling in their body is something in dan dao. Sorry. I don't want to lie to you. If you choose to stay in the feeling of chi , instead of facing your original source, I can't tell you you are on the right way. I do receive Qi, but I don't practice any methods to receive Qi. I receive Qi because I open my 玄關竅 I open my 玄關竅 , because I try to follow the rules of dao. I choose to believe the dao and give up all the secret methods. When we read 道德經，we should not "study" it. We should find the rules of dao and follow it all our life. I don't understand why some people are so blind. Actually, I am blind, too. I can't aware all the time. 抱一能無離乎 Can we Hold one without leaving it? From chp 10 I don't think I do it well. We can see three different states of cultivation. 觀其妙 watch the remarkable 觀其竅 watch the entrance 抱一 hold one What is the different of these three states? Can anyone tell the difference? I am sure that if you just cultivate Qi, the only state you can understand is 抱一 If you can see light, then you can understand a little bit about the entrence If you can get into the emptiness, then you can understand the first part, 觀其妙，watching the remarkable.

Yes, 玄關 Xuan-guan can be written as 元關 Yuan-guan. 元 ，始也，Yuan means origin The ancient 元 is the same as ancient 玄

The mysterious gate is not mysterious for me at all. I cultivate it every day and night. I invite everyone to cultivate it with me. Not "study" it. It can't be studied. It can't be told. But it can be cultivated "every day"
