When i lived alone i used to not use the microwave at all (but for example to avoid the microwave and laziness i did cooke for example a pot with rice and one with lentils and ate from it for five days (more than 48 hours) - now i live with my family and my mom all week (Expcet at weekends) makes food in microwave , and at the moment im sick (a cough that doesnt leave for 4 weeks now and sometimes yellow phlem) so i try to minimize touching stuff in the kitchen and time there so i usually eat what she makes so i wonder for example if she makes now spaghetti and the microwave - and the chickpeas she made are the exact same thing qi wise - i mean if microwave is that bad than maybe they are the same or spaghetti in the microwave VS cauliflower in the microwave and also if the soup she made in the microwave is the same as a bag of chips , is the processed hummus paste with preservatives and all is better than chickpeas that were soaked in water and cooked in the microwave and maybe there is better or at least worse (dry shit seems better than wet one) in choosing between two foods most nutritionists wont say stuff this strict about microwave - and for example would say vegetables in the microwave are healthy even very healthy - so im trying to get the qi aspect of things * and of course its not just a question about my situation now but in general its useful to know about this stuff to know more or less whats better if i have other choices between this kind of food or between cooking methods etc ** also i do want to say i ask this stuff qi wise not "scientifically" cause every now and than there is a new article about a new research finding different findings , not to mention stuff less known and published to the public

Well the question from the first place was to help me make the least worst option (and to help me understand the reasoning behind the things so i can get to my own conclusions - as in "microwave destroyes all the chi , but if you only reheat food in the microwave that was cooked in the oven etc ... is not that bad" as i was told by someone

So for example you all think that chickpeas soaked in water than cooked in the microwave are worse than cheakeps from a can ? or for example are spinach leaves that are cooked in the microwave worse than consuming doritos chips (which lets say is corn flour and wheat flour and a lot of oil , salt , spices and preservatives) that were cooked in the oven in the factory ?

Any of this benefits you get while walking before in your home indoors ?

I did a little barefoot walking - once in a 5 day meditaion reterat were some of the people walked barefoot on grass and cement paths - and on a vacation in thailand in a forest where the guides where barefoot so i did too there where very long sticks on the ground but also a lot of wet leaves so it was really not a big deal at all suprisingly but alone somewhere new to do it barefoot im too worried to get something stuck in my foot ( a sharp stick edge , a nail , a needele etc) - when i did it it was nice painful but cool expirence in the forest it was even nice and cushny - inside my house when its hot i walk barefoot all the time , but like qigong practice which i did i dont feel all this stuff - so of course practice is better than theory but i ask for motivation and also its nice to look for stuff about morning walking i used to do it everyday before dawn as adviced by a teacher - now im back to my parents house i changed it with walks with the dog instead of alone and in the afternoon - not sure how it effects it --- in the morning walks they were nice but again since im not advanced i didnt feel any special benefit actually except nice scenery ( if i would experience stuff than i wouldnt have a need to ask )

what is the effect of walking barefoot (chi wise?) ?

No exercise tops going for a walk - if anything i was lacking in exercise and just started to do a little more stuff cause i think its suppose to be good to make qi flow better breath better etc Teacher was very credibale also those who said they felt it (some advanced themselves some not) - he teaches zhnieng qigong and is considered a great healer The thing is its a loop if i would feel qi better i would be more motivated to practice and keep a steady practice

I actually remembered i did something where a qigong teacher projected chi to the whole group and almost everyone there felt chi very strongly but i didnt ............. maybe cause my merdians are blocked etc and i need to clean them or something like that that is another reason why i asked this question in the first place : how to make myself feel qi better ?

Thanks for reply - and now to milk it further : why steaming is best ? what about boiling in water on the stove ? do you mean its best qi (Chi) wise ? in other sense ?

"" WTF IS QI, only heard in books " is a user here ? what happened there exactly ? i mean what the teacher do ? seems great even too good to be true - to do something in one session instead of many

So to understand you can pre dedicate merit ? (cause i thought until now its only after you do the deed) i can say i dedicate the merit i will make tommorow cleaning the street to X and Y ?

so C T in relation to that sentence i still dont get it " I dedicate whatever little or much merit accrued from the sustenance " what sustenance do you mean - the food ? and what merit is accrued and where ? what do you get the merit from in relation to the food (you sitting down on the chair before eating ?) you mean you dedicate the merit before you eat ?

Good reply i just dont undesratnd this part " whatever little or much merit accrued from the sustenance that such " what do you mean by "merit accrued" ? (i dedicate merit after meditaiton - just not sure what to you mean connected to food)

seems to me that its maybe good to feel qi in the hands (which i already kind of do (if just feeling tingling counts) - do you say it helps feel qi in whole body ? and if so you have an explanation why ?

Yes i practice qigong and meditation - for some time now but unconsistent and without much motivation (Especially qigong) and it would be great to be able to feel qi (i actually did a qigong instructors course - but i dont teach others cause i want to feel qi well first) thanks for the replies everyone - i have to say though in this forum there is a habit of "over quoting" (as opposed to minimizing their use only when needed) - it really is long to explain all the ways but i think it reduces the amount of answers and their length and quality (i wont explain also cause i dont think people will get it as well ) ....... this is a very good forum i like it a lot ---- i think without this over quoting issue it would have been 10 times better (its really interesting why exactly this spesific forum is suffering from this over quoting - maybe the issue is just the size of the quote where in other forums its smaller ) all replies are good - as always with the subject the more info i get about this and more explanations and clarifications (cause every aspect of this is not fully clear to me - best exercises to feel qi (not during the exercise but in general in life ) the fastest way (as in if you practice it for weeks) , also excericses to feel qi while practicing it , how stuff help in this aspect , spesific diet ? , accumulation of qi VS the flowing of qi in the body etc

" 2-3 years of daily training with third eye opening " if i have bad eyesight - does it effect the third eye in some way ? for both of you - just adding that i edited and put this part as well : (* important later edit (After 2 first replies) : to feel qi better over time)

Would love to hear of ways to develop a persons intuition It is especially a problem as far as motivation ... and to be able to decide how hard to do stuff ... for example how not to burn out from doing too much or how not to be too lazy and do nothing all day

I was wondering about strongest (or not strongest but the strongest you know of) spiritual practice you know i would like to have some "cool" out of the usual spiritual (i including feeling qi in this - seeing lights etc) that has the fastest effect - or maybe not even the fastest but that has sure effects if you do it and effects in a pretty short time ( a few months is also ok) for example is rebirthing that excericse ? 100 wall squats every day ? horse stand ? etc (Asking cause heared that if you do 100 wall squats each day it can heal all your health problems - and made me think about after trying many stuff and always feeling motivated that i dont see a difference (meditaitng for hours etc) and have a hard time to keep practicing non stop for more than a month (can do intesnse practice but not keep it more than a month without stopping) thought maybe there is some exercise that you 100% sure if you do for like tops one month you almost certainly will experience some "cool stuff" (more than just feeling more relaxed ! ) that can help motviate you further and since i dont want to be dissapointed wanted to hear about teh "Strongest" exceirses people know about that have the biggest chance to get results ** and without getting into a debate about it - im asking for all spiritual practices (spiritual can also be physical like wall squats of course) except drugs which i am not interested in trying

Easier for me to find on keyboard especially sense i change languages from time to time but also to me its more clear - or .... between parts than , its more visible and to me separates things better and clearer , even if its not proper grammar

I learned zhineng qigong and teachers of it said that unlike other types of zhineng qigong is an "open" system where you take qi from the universe into the body and purify the body with it open the maridians and go through "purification" which its symptoms are pains and injuries and emotions etc ... while they say closed qigong systems practice for years just to purify the body and just when they are high level after years of training they open to the universe and gave an examples of all sorts of bad stuff hapening to qigong practiconers from this closed systems that suddenly connected to the universe and sense thier body was clear the moment they opened to the universe they got very strong "purification" process and this caused them harm even death (worst example given was someone the moment he opened got blood out hes eyes and other stuff that caused him to die fast ) my terminology is bad and so my knoledge on this spesific thing except what was said to students in zhineng qigong course - would like to hear peoples view on this matter and anything people can add about this topic of "purification"

Would like to know all people want to share about Rebirthing - stuff like reberthing and its conectiuon to qigong stuff (like the micro orbit - jing - qi - shen etc) stuff like - is it more powerful than qigong ? short range faster results than qigong ? long range ? what does it do qi wise ? why do you feel qi tingling all in the body when doing it ? when you finish do you need ot guide that qi to a certain location in the body like lower dantian ? everything people want to add about Rebirthing is welocmed

Its intersting i got no reply - thought people here might have tried rebirthing - maybe its the location - moderators maybe there is a better subject that this post belongs too ? to me i thought its here to get mainly the comparison between rebirthing and qigong - but maybe there is a better location ?

What are all the benefits of wall squats In zhineng qigong they say if you do 100 everyday you can heal every physical health problem - is it true ? can it heal stuff like my dust allergy ? can it improve eyesight ? can this exercise alone help give a person a perfect posture without doing anything else ? what about 50 wall-squats a day ? what about 200 a day ? what are the effect of those ? and how did they reach 100 squats *at a time* (in the book "methods of zhineng qigong) as the recommended amount ? how different in benefits a 100 at a time is than 100 a day ( i know of people who do a 100 a day not a time are they missing out - in case they can do it all a single time ?) ? and for those who did/do it - how do you keep track to do a 100 ? wondering about doing this for as much as i can so extending it to maybe 2 hours a day maybe even 4 or 5 etc - and i wonder if this excerice can stand by its own as a "practice" or its just supplementary does it help in sexual transmutation ? would love to get all the benefits this exercise can have --- would like also above what you know in thoery or heared about this exercise benefits to hear about personal benefits people experienced with this exercise ? also even though its not the main question if someone wants to add tips about best way to do it that can be good too (though main question is about the benefits of it)

I did in the past in a course for two months 6 days a week not seven and not sure i did 100 (at least a month a did them for 1 hour in morning but did with big breaks between squats) maybe i felt better from it not sure there wasnt something exceptional i noticed from it specifically though i think there might have been but not sure - i started doing it for half an hour a day now but not sure how much i will persist in this would be nice to get motivation or to know maybe it dosnt have much benefit above 100 times a day or maybe there is but better to add other excericses instead like LCUPCD and other qigong exercises - maybe it heals a lot but not all maybe its better to add stuff like "pushing mountains" as well or instead and do little wall squats little pushing mountains . and actual experience of people or what people heard about this , would be nice to get explanations about this exercises - if i will do 100 a day and it wont do anything and i would expect it too it will cause frustration and reduce chances i put effort in future too - maybe you need to do a 100 but do it at least 3 months or maybe you need to do it for 7 days a week and if you do just 6 days it has no effect - maybe im wasting my time on this when there are better stuff - so answers can be not only to motivate me but to say that the expectations from this are too high (healing all physical illneses etc) - i think the vast majority of questions here can be answered that its better to expirence them instaed of asking which is true but still ... would like to hear about this exercise benefits and explanations about why it happens if possible too from experience of people or from theory they ran into - there are a million reasons (some more important than others) why i am asking this that dont come to my head right now as well If i do 100 a day srpead around and someone writes here that its important to do them all at 100 time and if so than it really can make your qi flow very well unlike 100 in a day spread through than thats a great benefit i can get from a reply I dont base my practice fully on what people write here but its added to my decision making - For example if i do wall squats 1 hour a day and i think that my not so good eye sight is something i need to take care of so i decided to do eye sight exercise and so instead of doing 1 hour a day of wall squats i do just 30 minutes and the other 30 minutes i do exercises for the eyes or send qi to eyes etc ... but if someone says it can help heal the eyes and imrpove eyesight than i would stay with wall squats and maybe even heal other stuff on the way maybe stuff i dont even know about - and will get motivated by that reply to do more even 5 hours a day on the other hand if it dosnt heal eyesight and i expect it too and after 3 months my eyesight didnt get better i would feel cheated cause it says it can cure all physical illness ! if you do a 100 at a time each day - than i would stop doing them out of frustration instead of keeping to do them for all my life and get benifts from it a good answer can be "yes it says it can heal eyeseight" and even better ones can be : "i healed my eyesight with wallsquats" or also a great one : "wall squats can heal your eyes cause when you do them it pushes qi up into your head and spesificly thorugh the qoogsdfjjjcsg channel and the eye is connected to your sdfgjkhsdl and thats how its really effective for eyesight" or as i eited my answer now to make it even more clear - if this exercise can help correct posture by itself than great i just do more of it and try to do it with good forum - but if its not enough than i might look for other ways to correct posture and other stuff BUT i dont want to get to a discussion about this though cause it really derails a topic so instead of geting a lot of info about wall squats i just get assessed instead -this just to get answeres and more info people know/heared about this exercise

How do they stay closed and not open ? arent we all always "open" to the universe energy ? when they open what they do to "open" ?
