Hello! - 3 meals a day, by 3 meals I mean e meals of real food, no snacks or bread which has no vitamins or minerals it just serves to satisfy you so you can say "Oh I just ate something". *I'm not really against gluten but if you can reduce it, it would be good, I feel good without it but my personal experience is not a scientific fact so do what you feel better for you* - Avoid any stimulant - Avoid sugar - Eggs are the best food - More protein, less carbs - Eat until half full or less, in other words: don't overeat - Intermittent fasting when possible Probably there's more but that's what I remember now, if someone already said these I'm sorry I didn't read the whole post. Best wishes

Nice ones, thanks for sharing

I like the different approach to my question, and yes that feels like a valid point that I also would like to hear more about

This is the best motivational video I've seen this year hahaha, I think it competes with Shia Labeouf "JUST DO IT!" for the best one, hard to choose. The guy has average motivation lines but what makes it good is the body language and humour behind it. Even without understanding a word he said without the subtitles he gave me motivation - and a good laugh! I'm leaving this post with smile and a sense of "okay I need to get things done". Thanks for sharing 😁

Oh sure, I wasn't actually promoting the practice of it I actually warned against it, but now I get it, no talk about mopai at all haha, thanks for the warning😁

@doc benway @forestofclarity Oh hey bros I would like to have access too

wow I remember a whole topic about this meditation something like 5 years ago on a Facebook group, people were claiming that this was the best meditation to remove Qi blockages, as already mentioned earlier in this thread, but I remember them also saying that this was one of the best meditations to build jing or qi, something like that, can someone confirm this?

I like your sense humor hahaha, welcome

Interesting, some years ago I tried it for a month but it actually made me sleep more than usual haha But if it works for you that's great, there's some people on Youtube claiming that this is the best way to sleep, but unfortunately I had no results with it I had a very soft matress, that's why I tried. But after a month I just bought a new and harder matress and then I slept better, so it does make sense that to sleep on a hard surface improves sleep, but maybe the floor was too hard for me and it had the reverse effect haha

That was actually a nice tip for my useless post, I didn't know that haha

Yep, not many people come here haha He is Damo Mitchell, a reference if you want to learn more about the internal arts. I have a full-body workout routine I do it 3 days in the week, I use some calisthenic movements and also weight lifting with focus on hypertrophy, but as he said in the video, it's probably something that wouldn't benefit the internal training. He explains it better but before lifting weights it's better to first mobilize the chi inside of your body, then you can benefit from lifting weights. From what I learned the only thing that can "compliment" internal training is cardio, like walking/running and stretching. But there are more expecienced people than me here and this may be a controversial topic, so I would also like to hear what people have to say on this.

Hello everyone! There is something I`ve never fully understood which is the correct tongue position. I always put it right behind the front teeth, but I've seen people saying that it should be on the back of the mouth/soft palate, so which one is the correct posture for everyday life and to create a bridge between ren mai and du mai? Thanks in advance!

Damo Mitchell posted a video about it some days ago

People tend to be more agressive online, they feel safe to say whatever they want. This happens a lot in online games, mainly the competitive ones, the amount of people swearing on others for minimal mistakes is just absurd, but I bet if they were in person the numbers would reverse, so we would have less people swearing and more people trying to cooperate together. If I'm not mistaken there are already studies showing how people tend to be more agressive online because they feel safe behind a computer screen. @liminal_luke It's amazing how we think the same way, I could've wrote your post without removing a single word from it, I also act like that with my family and friends, the same situation

How do you guys practice QiGong or meditation in public? There was a very old post about it but that post was about this subject and it was great, if someone finds it please comment it here. I don't have a garden to practice Zhan Zhuang and I really wanted to do it feet on the ground, but the simple idea of people making fun, laughing, recording, taking pics etc.. these things completely wards me off of trying this. Do you think the problem is on me? Should I just do it and don't care about what people will think? Or should I just keep doing it indoors and avoid "trouble"? Where I live this is not common at all, no one does qigong or such things in public, actually, very few know about qigong in the first place Recently I've been meditating on the bus, but I don't cross my legs, I just use the normal seated position with back straight and mudra, I can do it for 10min until I arrive at my destination, and when I finish and open my eyes it's just noticeable people looking at me and trying to figure out what I was doing haha, not the most comfortable situation for a shy person like me I would love to hear your take on this

I wouldn't argue at all. I would just understand his point of view and I would agree with him, I wouldn't even try to show him my point of view, because as soon as I show that I think different, the other person might start arguing. I won't change his mind, he won't change my mind, so there's nothing to discuss. I won't waste my time and energy trying to prove a point. If someone wants to start a fight, just disagree on one of these: politics, religion, football.

Hello everyone! Has any of you had it or still have, do you know why this happens??? This is something weird, it happened to me in two distinct moments in my life, I can't find any correlations as to what I was doing, so I don't know how to trigger it to happen again and also I have no idea why it stopped happening. It was a great feeling, I literally had to smile with some girls around me, it wasn't all of them but most of them triggered a smile response I can't understand. It was like my face had a life of it's own and decided to smile, it was a good feeling as I said but it was annoying because I often needed to look the other way to hide my smile or just look down to the ground so It don't look like I was hitting on them. It wasn't like the "women attraction" thing that is recurrent in this forum, it was more like they were attracting me and sometimes I couldn't look the other way around because there was people there too so sometimes I ended up directly smiling to some of these girls and I felt so awkward because I didn't want to be smiling at that moment. I don't even remember if they smiled back I was so nervous haha Can anyone explain this?? I think that it can be correlated to the heart centre opening but at the same it doesn't make much sense because in the past weeks I've been practicing Qigong like never before so it should be happening now but it's not, so I'm at a point that I don't even know if this is correlated to qigong, which was the only thing I could think of to trigger this. EDIT: Just to give a little more context, in the first time it happened it lasted for like 2 days and went away, then some months after that it happened again and this time I was aware of what was happening, but it also lasted less than a week, so these were very short but noticeable effects, very weird experience.

Okay so no qigong at airports and avoid the bus-top, taking notes

Why am I born in a place no one does these things in public, I'm gonna cry Actually I was thinking about just trying it once to see what will happen, not just simple moving qigong or ZZ, I was thinking about starting with something like spontaneous qigong, that would be wild

Resting bitch face everywhere, I would be the coolest guy there

It's been one and a half years now since I started in a Qigong system(SFQ) and I also do some other meditations when I have time to, like the free healing meditation with Xuan Daoji and ZZ. But I've been meditating and doing similar things for 5 years now. This is very interesting, I'm the opposite, I'm naturally very shy and closed around people, actually if you see me walking around you'll think I'm angry, I have RBF - Restless Bitch Face From the Wikipedia "Resting bitch face (RBF) is a facial expression that unintentionally creates the impression that a person is angry, annoyed, irritated, or contemptuous." It got to a point where I try to counsciously make my face feel more neutral so I don't look angry to the people around, I don't know why I make an angry face for no reason. But back to the topic: So most of the time I'm not smiling around people, but these times were different, I just felt the need to smile it was something that came from inside me, I still don't know if I explained it correctly, I'll give an example: When I'm around attractive women, I have my restless bitch face or neutral face, but those times were noticeably different, I just wanted to smile and it was as if couldn't handle it, it just felt so good for no reason at all
