Hilarious!

I see. Thanks for the advice! Yeah i've come to realize how important a foundation is, and since I have no formal training or guidance per se, over here, so it's been mostly experimentation. I'm around 4 weeks with it, doing it for 10 mins or so. Appreciate you pointing out the 'patience' bit, i'll be persistent with it.

Greetings everyone! My name is Bilal and I'm from Karachi, Pakistan. I've been a visitor of this page for a while now but thought i'd join in. I'm a doctor by profession and intend to go into mental health/psych. If i talk about my background, I started dabbling with eastern philosophies like Daoism, sufism, buddhism , gnostic mysticism, hinduism etc at the age of 19 when I was very confused about life and myself. From there it went onto depth psychology and shamanism etc etc. I did some breath based extensive inner child work and that's where the real energetics of this whole thing unfolded for me. It's been a rollercoaster journey with nothing short of great learning and clarity fast forward 8 years. I've recently been introduced to some qigong(Robert peng's 4 golden wheels) and have been looking for some guidance regarding what basic practices I should start from, since I realize I've been pretty much "ungrounded" for the past few years and it was affecting my life and productivity, developing a sensitivity to environments, people and hostile places(being a doctor means I consistently encounter them no matter what) I've been relying on protective crystals to guard my energy, which helps to a certain degree but i know is not enough. My intention with these practices is to be able to cultivate energy and stay productive(esp. in negative energetic environments). Someone suggested Zhan Zhaung/Standing tree practices to ground myself and to develop the ability to work on the small heavenly circuit/microcosmic orbit. I do feel energy in the du and ren mai channels but i'm not sure where i stand with regards to it. Would anyone please kindly point me in the right direction? Regards
