I appreciate this a lot seriously. i give into my temptation that i know better, so that someone can prove to me they know better. I do have high regard for what i think and conclude to often, because i have seen just how wrong people usually are and i dont find out until years later that i'm right. I am learning to trust my instincts. But i am also more than aware that real experience trumps instincts, because they are the manifestations of instincts. Understood though. So i choose to go down the qigong path. I don't have to do any yoga or other system for that matter. I only mentioned yoga because due to a lot of my injuries and incorrect muscle activation i realized yoga poses help more with certain parts of my body. I didn't necessarily mean to do any system, just want to like i've mentioned before i want to get my body to the state of a baby or child. I want to be able to know that i am optimal, have my channels open and muscles are acting in correct manner so i can practice optimally.

Btw, i appreciate all this Freeform and others. i'm going to give back by creating my practice journal as soon as i a have it planned.

I am very curious about this. Okay. so the last paragraph was in relation to the one before right? So the technique is to feel the body itself opening up or prepping for the absorption of breath, therefore creating an easier unforced filling into the area? When you say body, do you mean everything from the head all the way down to the dantien? Any specifics? Is this how i should breathe instead when meditating?

What i'm mainly trying to do is cover my bases as far as each thing for specific purpose. So when i said flying pheonix, it is with the idea that it is only conducive to everything else i'd be doing. With kundalini, it would've been specifically for the purpose of opening up my channels most optimally. if that's already covered enough within the system of qigong i'd be doing, then i'm okay with that. I've been weight training for 15 years, more than half my life. so i've gone through a million mistakes, and feel like i would only do it if it enhances what i want. I already have theorized that bodybuilding or intense training that affects mind muscle body consciousness is not positive. But i beliveve in experimenting safely what can work. I don't mind going out and meeting, it's just that i know my life has taken a specific turn to hermtizing for a specific purpose. So it's something i accept for now. I'm planning out my daily practice right now, one that i plan to dedicate to (with minor adjustments i'm sure) for several months and see what happens.

I wholeheartedly agree with this. You and several others have confirmed this. That the true findings are in looking for imperfections or errors and looking for perfection. I don't claim to do this maybe as advanced as others. But i do my best to focus on this while running, meditating, walking, sitting on the couch, laying in bed. I can imagine this applies in qigong, tai chi, yoga.

What keypoints determine a strong foundation or proof of a strong foundation. 8 hour standing is 1 example?

I may be deluding myself and have thought about that. But i also have had a lot of inexplicable things happen that i won't disclose. So truth might be somewhere in the middle. That's why i plan to be disciplined in what i can practice, to know i put the work in. I feel like i am working with purpose rather than intrigue initially. I find intrigue as a result of purpose rather than vice versa. So it's exciting to follow the signs and see what new things are meant to be unveiled to one.

Something else led me here. Too many details to get into it. Though i wouldn't say i'm necessarily on any path. I'm just trying to understand things, and this seems to be a purposeful place to explore. I find several commonalities with my ideas. These are great questions. I don't have anything against teachers. But I always hated being taught by someone else because i feel like it puts you in a box. And also, my whole life i've liked experimenting on my own, because i think that's where infinite intelligence comes in and one can create new advances. But i do realize the risks, hence this thread. Edit: i'm a hermit currently. I don't see this as bad. I am perhaps more at peace than i have been in a long time. But now i need to start acting upon my life, and do what i know i can do. So gonna build myself up, and then show my face again.

To be honest i feel my energy is drawn more towards hermetics or occult practices, the energies just seem to come naturally. But i would rather be a Jedi and i see Tao or eastern practices as that Roger that on the energy stuff. Going to get a better understanding see someone before i can trust it.

I completely understand these are things i need to be aware of, and will do. I've paid the price multiple times for most likely doing things i shouldn't have, but got through them and learned from each mistake. That being said, i know there is a lot i don't know, but i am being realistic in what i will most likely be doing and want to take a cautious approach with that. For me i would say, i'm a person who doesn't know surgery exists, and i had to cut into my arms or legs just to figure out solutions to my own issues, and learned through trial and error what things are possible maybe at a lower level. And then i discovered something called surgery. I am probably very far from being able to stand for 8 hours. But i may start at 1 and see where it goes from there . What is sung and ting? i assume it is perfect balance of top and bottom? We're on the same page for the exercising. However, i will say that i believe that in reality some strength training things actually involve the entire body, it's just that people don't know how to use it correctly. Me having been one of them. But i believe with very meditated breathing and proper muscle activation one might be able to unlock better development. I'm currently testing this breathing process by which i breathe out both on the eccentric and concentric motions. And breathing in only at the top or bottom of the movement. Along with focusing on core stability and proper spinal alignment, almost as if utilizing the entire body to perform any movement. Besides movements such as animal crawls and planks, i've been doing therapeutic and muscle correcting exercises with floor sliders, they utilize muscle stabilizers that i don't really feel as much through any other type of movements. Gives a closer sense of muscle activation that swimming provides. I will take your word for it and get it. I am going to also be doing flying pheonix as i hear it provides benefit across all other practices. When i was solely focusing on trying to build that, i believe i may have been building it and did feel the effects. I even felt this ball of heat in my stomache one night and had to just sleep through it. Though, i have not been as dedicated since. So moving forward, i am going to pretend nothing happened, but i do plan on trying to build it at least through meditation. To be safe maybe you can tell me if this is safe: I initially confirmed it through mo pai style of level 1 meditation. That being said, before that i had discovered this technique of breathing while facing down and trying to breathe into the back as opposed into the stomach. So the method i know how to do and is fairly natural to me now, though i don't do every time now is reverse breathing. I do it by being in half lotus, breathe in while creating barrier in my inner muscles behind abs, breathe into the back and spine, upon release expand middle stomach, while at the same time keeping middle rhomboid muscles outward, but at the same time letting air go out, so that if one were to be looking at the body perpendicularly you would be creating a more balanced center between back and front. (i dont plan on doing mo pai, just found this breathing natural to me) I know i will be meeting a master at some point. i have no doubt on that. Opinion on doing Kundalini Yoga? Is Kundalini yoga the best way to reach kundalini?

Any examples?

I believe i am able to do that. I watched your video of you and a friend creating an energy ball. I was able to create something similar by sending energy to my hands and out, constantly making my hands close and further apart. From 20 feet away? that's crazy.

Thank you for this. It gave me a better understanding of what i could ecxpect and good caution to have. I think i am in agreement about the place i travel to might not be the same place i would see in google maps. That is actually part of the reason i want to do it, because i think there is something somewhere that cannot be seen. I am actually in current preparation of an efficient daily routine/practice. I realize i have more than enough resources now to start taking all this seriously and see what i can develop.

If you guys remember the movie Angels and Demons, it was released May 15th, and it has to do with pretty much what seems to be going on now . Peace deal was said to be done by may 15h, but instead was postponed June 9, after Ramadan . "Noah was 600 years old when he entered the Ark. It is exactly 600 days from September 23rd 2017 Revelation 12 sign and May 15th 2019, which is the 1st day of the 71st year. 7 days later is the 17th of Iyyar, when God shut the doors of the Ark. (The peace deal reveal was moved to June)"

If you knew where i wanted to travel and for what purpose, you probably wouldn't be laughing . Don't worry about it though, you'll know what i'm talking about at some point without me having to say anything.

I believe there are things happening that none of us truly understand, though some are slightly closer to the truth. There's a lot of phenomena that a lot of people around the world are experiencing. Including.... Loneman Pai : I'm not saying go support and believe everything he says, but there is truth in this video i have personally experienced, and i think anyone who listens to it should know that this is really happening. I believe it is connected to the cern machine, and they are merging timelines with black holes. Idk what's going on, but something tells me it's not natural.

I am certainly open to any other applicable info people want to relay. But i just want to say thank you all for the very applicable pieces of advice, i think that is more than sufficient to begin testing/practicing.

Is that why when i was trying to absorb energy, it felt like i was playing tug of war? Jk, that didn't happen. Lol i wish you could've seen me. i was trying to do qigong breathing and really trying to absorb it lol. I think i know what you mean. I'm going to try to feel subtle energy rather than purposely absorb it, and see if i can find a middle point connection through feeling. Going try to try to feel the energy before actually trying to do anything. Though, i just realized i probably disrespected nature. i only tried a specific tree, that i believe a squirrel was calling me towards, though i think specifically the squirrel was calling me to itself. Will probably just try to feel the trees rather than absorb moving forward. Also don't want to die for stupid reasons. Here are some cool articles and opinions: https://www.learning-mind.com/absorb-transfer-energy-plants/ https://www.wongkiewkit.com/forum/forum/suggested-reading/articles-and-popular-topics/396-absorbing-energy-from-trees https://www.matrixdisclosure.com/trees-spiritual-healing-properties/ I will report back with any more insights once available.

Not necessarily want to get into advanced practices. It's more like i feel like i have made progress on my own naturally without having gone through typical means of acquiring energy, and i don't believe that going the traditional route is going to serve me well in regards to timelines and what to expect to get to certain levels. Reason being because i do believe i am experiencing things at a accelerated rate. So I'm just trying to get a better view of what is an optimal path to take and to see the spectrum of things that are possible, that i feel would be conducive or purposeful in my life. But also don't want to get into too deep of things where i can't even live in peace due to being overly exposed. Thank you for all the resources. I've actually seen some videos of Wang Lin Ping, seemed genuine from the talks i watched. I've also been compiling a list of different practices and masters, and doing research to see what would better suit my goals.

I appreciate this. will look through and let you know.

I guess i had researched this about a month ago. Anything/book specific? or just look around and see what conclusions i can draw? Thanks for the heads up, and after speaking some people i would say they agree with what you just mentioned. Maybe i should state my intention. So there are some places around the world that i would like to travel to. I plan to do this in person of course one day. But let's say i felt due to safety reasons of not being able to go to these places in person, and wanted to astral travel there. Is there some specific practice i should do? i don't necessarily need or want to travel to another dimension.

It's not that crude. I experienced, resonated, and agreed with every single thing you wrote. Thank you for all that and confirming all of this. Maybe some things missing are like to and not to dos. Though i feel like i was able to do everything you mentioned, I will say that i'm fairly undisciplined as far as the many practices in regards to specifics. i will do a mix of running, sitting meditation 1-1.5 hr/day, slight yoga stretching 20 min/day, mace exercises, kettebell swings, walking breathing posture meditation min/day. Questions: I think this is going to help a lot of people including myself, what would you recommend for these? - 1) open and strengthen your body physically 2) find your ‘internal body’ 3) build a fully connected, elastic Qigong body 4) build a Dantien. What are the daily (optimal) routines you would advise? so i understood everything up until this part: Could you explain the different secondary advised requirements for foundation? And maybe what each are or how to do them? I am okay with researching too, so no worries on explanation if too long. But maybe efficiency with these? Could you say what is/are the sign(s) that tell if one is at a strong developmental point to begin moving on onto further development? What would be the next further development?

So i'm assuming this is step one, and would do this while meditating or laying down?
