Hi fellow dao bums, I am looking for material which can help me along the way. I am a complete beginner when it comes to qigong and seeing as there are no nearby classes i can attend im looking for resources which can help me progress on my own. Are there any resources out there which you can recommend which will get me to at least an intermediate level of practice. I understand that the energetic pathways in the body are very delicate and without the proper foundation and output of energy will lead to more problems then it will do one good. The only resource I currently use to facilitate my practice is Spring Forest Qigong, along with wim hof breathing I would really appreciate something which will extend upon Chunyi Li's excercises. Much Love

Hi there im new around here but in saying that have been on this forum lurking almost everyday, its finally time i started participating in this discussion. A bit about me I'm a youngin (22 years ole) i spend most of my time creating music and looking at the Australian trees, flora and fauna. However, i would like to add to my repertoire qigong and other energy cultivation practices. I have been reading alot of @voidisyinyang and @Yang posts as i find his concepts of noncommunicative phase relationships between music and non-duality really fascinating along with the whole alchemy based training he speaks of. Very fascinating. However, my endeavours as of now are a lot more centred on the simple things such as clearing the clutter from my mind and being consistent with my qigong practice. I've been watching SFQ videos and ive found them to be really helpful, would really appreciate if someone could recommend me a practice they have found most beneficial in quieting the mind, going into the emptiness. Is the microcosmic meditation the best route to achieve this? What have been YOUR experiences of practices which seem to be the most effective in achieving the goals stated above? I love this community already, without even having participated myself, simple observation has led me to the conclusion that nearly every member on this forum has great life experience and valuable information in their own way, its really great. Again glad to be part of the community much love.
