Sitting down to meditate without having any purpose, not even a hidden objective or a minimal intention to send energy or seek to heal or achieve something, just sit and forget.

I have been practicing volumes 1, 2, 3 and 4 of Flying Phoenix Chi Kung since 2020. Lately it has happened to me that I meditate without any intention and the chi leaves my body to help a family member who is recovering from cancer, who receives energy in various parts of the body. I can attest that cultivated chi appears to have a compassionate intelligence and acts when someone is experiencing illness as Master Terry Dunn has pointed out in this thread.

apology I finally understood the source of my anger and frustration toward Taoist and Taoism
Eduardo replied to Sleepy Bluejay's topic in Daoist Discussion
You have a mental salad of concepts and I don't have the time or the desire to try to clarify these entanglements. I can only tell you that the technique of creating the rainbow body is an esoteric technique and related to Tibetan Buddhism and Bön, that is, hundreds of years after the parinirvana of Gautama Buddha. Buddha did not seek a Taoist-style form of inmortality or a rainbow body, human or celestial immortality since it is not the goal of the noble eightfold path that leads to nirvana. Nirvana is existence outside of Samsara and therefore implies an irrevocable disconnection from the phenomenal planes of existence. I also tell you that the Buddha suffered from illnesses and there is talk of a doctor of that time Jivaka Kumar Bhaccha, however in the Pali Canon it is noted that Buddha Gautama died from eating bad food that was donated to him by a blacksmith.- 12 replies

Eduardo replied to Sleepy Bluejay's topic in Daoist Discussion
I cannot give you a categorical answer because I do not have access to all of your personal beliefs regarding what taoism is or is not. I can only tell you that it is very easy to pretend to understand with certainty immortality in Taoism, and the exit from Samsara, right off the bat, keeping in mind that illness, old age and death are the vital imponderables that we must experience and which not even Gautama Buddha could transcend despite his enlightenment It is very easy to fall into self-deception regarding our own worth, which is nothing more than another form of egoistic illusion that is another shackle in the mind that binds to samsara.- 12 replies

Very few people seek immortality in Taoism The majority seek to make their personal lives and achieve economic achievements, including building families and satisfying their multiple desires. And many people are just looking for food and also to survive deterioration and illness. Desire and the subsequent search for satisfaction always brings suffering and disappointment. The long-suffering human path finally leads to the experiential understanding of Buddha Dharma. I hope your understanding flourishes above all human illusion.- 12 replies

The Mahayana, no matter how noble and valid, may be the path proposed for the bodhisattva, the mantras, the ceremonies, the new sutras, etc. It truly disqualified the path of Gautama Buddha's original teachings contained in the early texts of the Pali Canon, worse still pejoratively created the epithet Hinayana, as small vehicle as opposed to the great vehicle or Mahayana.
