This is fascinating, because I have been practicing this in real time too, though not the same just my usual jumbled mixture of vol 1 and 2 which ever moves I'm feeling like doing to get in my 30 mins a day or so. But Both the people I live with had cold/flu like symptoms and the worst I got was a scratchy throat for a night or two. I have successfully used FPQ to keep myself healthy over the last year and it can even cause a bounce back from a night of drinking too much when it happens. Though not Qigong related another system I study uses a visualization of a bright orange ball of light in and surrounding the throat chakra to kill virus' etc. Worth trying if nothing else is working.

I think many of them do, but you have a lot of human error and opinions added in over time that becomes tradition which people then get indoctrinated into to be part of the group so the original message gets entirely hidden or loses its focus. Then you end up with something that isn't remotely what it was intended to be originally. This is the typical track of religions. Which is why something like studying esoteric information is valuable or philopsohies such as the Dao so you can start to see beyond the superficial coverings people place upon the truth. There is a great Daskalos quote I can summarize its similar to the Blind men and the Elephant parable. He said the truth is like a many facted Jewel. Each major religion is one facet of that jewel all containing their own unique things for those people at that time, but you need all sides of the jewel to get the whole truth, so each has its value but no one system contains the absolute truth. A great example of this though it's a hard one for religious people is how much Christianity can be improved by an understanding of Eastern religions it fills in a lot of the blanks and tough questions. By likewise the focus on compassion, love humility and service in Christianity can really help the other systems.

Thanks quite a few things to experiment with there that all sound very useful, I especially like no.2 lol not just for family either. I'm not very good at visualizing an energy or light shield/bubble so it sounds very practical, and I feel incredibly vulnerable when I first wake up. I don't think I mentioned it in the original post. But to me its a rather instant and potent feeling that I can reproduce with either hand on its own too at this point.

Now I'm curious if you mean the warm up one or MSW 3 which makes sense. I'm wondering cause I never learned the warm ups on Volume 2 because of time constraints .

Somehow I also didn't notice maybe due to focusing on looking through rather than the sensation, till I made this post. The first exercise of Flying Phoenix is also technically one of these. Monk Gazing at the moon. But I prefer my hands to be more vertical than curved like in that practice as I get way more feeling out of the Lao Gong point that way so it feels very different than Monk Gazing at the Moon.

That was perfect. Checked out this video and he explained it very well in the intro with a little guided practice. I had forgotten I had watched one of his videos a few years ago about a similar topic.

Hello, This is just something I've been wondering for awhile and would like to get some other people's insight on. So one of the most basic exercises people give to be able to feel qi for the first time is creating an energy ball generally by just holding it or doing some back and forth motions to get the hands moving. I hold my hands just a little bit apart like 10 inches or so.. 25cm I think and the sensation starts and it feels like an exchange of information between the two and almost like opposing magnets. You can kinda direct it to spin a bit too like going up one hand down then down the other. This is just me experimenting right now. But the question is is there any benefit to doing this, like just holding it in place for awhile. Does it build Qi. Increase sensitivity? Can you then use that accumulated Qi for a purpose? Does it flow through the rest of your channels up your arms etc? Again I'm wondering if this is something worth practicing rather than just being a repeatable unique feeling?

The simple answer to why it is so strange, is because it got co-opted by Rome early on and removed tons of the truth like Reincarnation the ascent of the soul to its true divine nature and more through councils so the original tradition had to go underground, but still exists today as Esoteric Christianity but even that has tons of sects/beliefs. The best I've found to the closest to the original is likely Rosicrucians.. well some of them, some are more questionable as many groups claim that title now. And the possible original inner tradition still going through Daskalos' teachings and group the Researchers of Truth, formerly the white lodge or brotherhood who supposedly regularly have 7 or so incarnated Bodhisattva masters on the earth working privately till some Racist folks in history screwed that name up for everyone. There is also the concept of two streams of Judaism through Moses, then Akhenaten which this group says is the same soul in sequential lives. Moses' tradition is most of the Old testament where it got conquered and corrupted by outside practices many times. The other became the Essenes and stayed for the most part pure/and non violent and healers. The books of the prophets were likely these guys constantly calling out the other group for falling. These streams reemerged as the Original Christianity thus why it's so confusing. because everything from both streams flowed into one with all the baggage and stuff it picked up along the way. The Essenes mostly disappeared into just becoming the first Christians. Later groups like the Templars were said to have been given the inner teachings of the symbol or tree of life by their remnants in Cyprus during the Crusades. which likely spawned our current western esoteric systems which is why they are similar but also quite different. Books like The Magus of Strovolos is a good introduction to this man and system. but he also wrote several himself of teachings and practices and Daniel Joseph one of his student's The whale series also goes into depth about the teachings. https://researchersoftruth.com/

The weird part is in some Orthodox maybe.. But certainly in the esoteric traditions of like Daskalos (Stylianos Atteshilis) a Western Bodhisattva that I'm into. Mary was a virgin birth as well as an incarnated Arch Angel making her the perfect vessel for giving birth to Divinity I suppose. According to them as well, John the Baptist, and John the cousin of Jesus were also incarnated Arch angels through Virgin births sent in to be his servants. There is the verse about Elizabeth conceiving John the Baptist when she was old and barren this is likely referring to this after editing. Since Jesus can be the only one to christians. This is all according to the Akashic record/ this mystics abitilty to enter at-one-ment With Jesus or could be called Theosis. Yes it's all speculative for us less evolved souls. But he seems very trustworthy there are several posts about him on here. Also From the book Joshua Immanuel the christ which is an akashic gospel he wrote through these means and his own past life as an Essene Novice at the time. I'm kinda of that radical belief anything is possible so for the divine to able to just poof a woman pregnant and materialize a life within her isn't that weird to me. These beings can supposedly just manifest a body out of the Aether if they want to show up here. The better question is why would they take human births then unless it was truly significant.

I have a question regarding Monk Gazing at the moon. I'm wondering if it's meant to double as a one pointed focus concentration building meditation because it seems perfect for it. As in You're Gazing at an object or point in space through your fingers and are holding your focus on it as well as you can unbroken to build extended concentration. I imagine if the moon was there that's what would be intended? Or kinda zone out and focus more on the energetic sensation? If the moon is out should you try and time it near a moonrise or moonset so its straight ahead if you have no elevation near you, or lie on your back? Bending the neck back to look up seems like it could cause health issues with the neck.

Thanks for the reply. I clearly just got the date entirely wrong haha but it explains that he was already really into it, maybe he grew up on David Carradine and old Kung Fu movies. For some reason I thought it was early 90s shows how little I know about basketball history. And yes it's the joys of clicking on a random page due to an entirely unrelated search on this thread and finding absolute gold! That whole page was great with all the Kuan Yin stuff as well. page 223

Hello Sifu Terry. This isn't a very serious question but it made me wonder and laugh. Based on this video and how you said Shaq was very into it. It made me wonder...do you think the 1994 video game I remember as a kid called Shaq fu on the Sega genesis https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaq_Fu Was possibly directly or indirectly inspired by you and your lessons?

Thank you @senseless virtue Very good post the ginger part is fascinating to me because before I saw it I was really feeling this intuitive pull to ginger and even got these ginger drinks from trader joes for Christmas from my brother that are basically a tbsp or two of ginger powder you mix with water. It feels so energizing and refreshing. The blood cleansing aspect intrigued me.

Certainly! I'm aware its not the best but I'm just a human making my way along the path. I'll get there eventually and I'm learning as I go. At the moment it helps and Hinders me I'm incredibly aware of how each happens. So I don't reccomend it to people. Without I never would have gone as far as I've have in the past 5 years or so and coulda been stuck in protestant mainstream Christianity rather than going to the very deep side of the occult using that foundation to skip all the bs, by following my curiosity but I also have backed off from the Chinese alchemical side and I see that as a place it could be a huge hindrance.. but who knows really? I do qigong now mainly for the health benefits and to advance spiritually. Man now I feel bad for revinig this post. What senseless virtue posted was What I was searching for i just forgot the old timey word of calling if pot lol.

Thanks for the response. I might have been a bit much on my commentary about dogma but I deal with a lot of it on religious side so it can be ant easy straw man for me to create. But it also becomes very easy to identify in all aspects of life. I'll fully admit im inexperienced with meditation only 6 years or so after 10 of religion and theology even college level. Though it's interesting I listened to Damo Mitchels podcast earlier and he's who I originally started with in qigong/neigong. But he mentioned meditation being good for discerning truth and seeing through falsehood and this is something that I do well at though I may be lacking the deep mystical experiences of many here. Not related to this topic particularly, but it seems to be working though I still have a long way to go.
