Luminous Being

Hi again I would like to suggest Wim Hof method to face up to the winter without heating. I'm trying his method and I think it is very effective. Here the link https://www.wimhofmethod.com Let me know what do you think.

Thanks a lot TigerJin to have shared your personal experience! Are you able to practice the complete MCO? Have you learned only by Dr. Yang or have you used other teachings too? Thanks

Thank Fa Xin! Are you now practicing other exercises to circulate the inner energy as alternative to MCO?

Thanks a lot Gerard for your reply. Actually I do have a real teacher for kung fu and meditation. I'm always interested in experimenting new ways and practices so I have discovered Dr. Yang and I liked him so much. Anyway I will search for what you suggest. "Internal Martial Art, Bagua or Xingyi". Do you have books, websites or videos to suggest in order to have a better idea about those? Thanks!

Hi all, I'm a qigong practitioner and I'm practicing the embryonic breathing meditation since several years learned by Dr. Yang Jwing-Ming books and videos. Since few months I've started to practice the small circulation or microcosmic orbit, but I've the following doubt: I know that in winter time it is recommended to increase the Yang side of our energy in order to strenghten the immune system. Using embryonic breathing in practice you have to exhale longer than inhale. But to start to circulate the Qi in the microcosmic orbit or small circulation you need enough Qi stored in your abdomen (Dan Tian). Sometimes I feel lack of Qi in my abdomen and body, very likely because I've not stored enough Qi during spring and summer. So, is it possible to store the Qi also in winter time without weakening the immune system? Can you suggest if it is possible to practice the embryonic breathing to store the Qi also in winter time without getting sick (becoming too Yin)? If you know other kinds of practice/excercise to store the Qi in winter time in order to circulate it with Microcosmic orbit please share it with me. I hope to have been quite clear If you have comments, suggestions or observations about my question please feel free to respond. A warm thanks!

Hi alleniverson Nice to meet you. Thsnks for your reply, I did not know Gary Clyman. I'd like to know more aboit his teaching. I'm practicing embryonic breathing since several years with great benefit for my inner energy. I'starting to practice small circulation or microcosmic orbit as you correctly say. What I'm wondering to undetstand is the possibility to store chi or Qi also during winter time. Following the Dr. Yang teaching the possibility to store the chi is in spring and summer time because the weather is warmer and Yin side can be cultivated. But to start the energy circulation with small circulation in winter time I need to store some more chi without reducing my yang side to avoid to get sick. So to summarize I would like to know a way to store chi also during winter time without to weak my immune system. I hope we can exchange our experience to find an answer. A big thanks

Hi Fa Xin thanks for your warm welcome. Yes I mean Dr Yang Jwing Ming as you mention. I have studied many of his books and videos. A big part of my practice comes from his teaching. I'm sure to find great things here on this forum. Nice to meet you. May the Force be with you!
