So if I want to cultivate yin qi, in any of my qigong practices, I should leave the tongue suspended in the space of the mouth? At the moment I'm using the neutral/balanced position all the time, not only when practicing qigong, does the yin qi tongue position also works when not practicing qigong? I know this may be counterproductive since I may create an imbalance if I'm doing it alone without supervision, but I'm askin just to make sure if I understood the correct way to use the tongue postion if someday I want to try it

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

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.

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

Yes I get your point and I've always been anxious around attractive women, but It was different, I was feeling good at the same time, it was like I needed to smile, talking about it now I kinda remember a good feeling in my chest.

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.

Hello Can someone give me a good source for learning Loving-Kindness Meditation(metta)? I accept books, masters, paid courses, free courses, just give the best you have, let's make this post useful for others who also want to learn it and share love with the world

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

How do you do that? You close your eyes? I've been doing that but when I open my eyes some people are randomly staring at me like "bruh was he sleeping?" lmao I actually think I'll create a post about this subject, I've found a post about it some time ago and it was great but I can't find it now

Spring Forest Qigong, among other benefits, is also known for helping people feel their Qi early on.

Also the same movement in Damo Mitchell's Wu Xing QiGong(5 elements), this movement he uses for the Lungs, just a little different with the "visualization" thing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "But the question is is there any benefit to doing this, like just holding it in place for awhile. Does it build Qi?" -Klinsly In SFQ level one, after the above movement, you have another one which you roll the ball with your hands, Chunyi Lin says that it builds energy in the LDT.
