The point of these examples are to show you that the mind and body are not separate Cultivate the body, it affects the mind Cultivate the mind it affects the body The are on a continuum Does that make sense friend?

If you exercise, it improves your mental health Exercise is not neidan

Are they? Get angry and tell me you dont feel something change in your body

Nobody suggested you did So we access the mind via the body through the channels Mind body cultivation. Shall we explore this further? What is your opinion

I knew what you meant I just found the word mantle rather amusing. You can appreciate this Chidragon its ok Anyway back to the topic at hand! So, Channels, Mind, Body. Strong relationship right?

This is essentialy what Tantric practice is Daoist methods are tantric

Its all related man. If you are getting confused ask a question We'll help you figure it out So we use the body to get to the mind via the channels right? Mind body cultivation

Why not The channels are what facilitate the expression of the mind in the body Its literally in the thread title What the hell could be more relevant than that?

Which also involves the cultivation of the mind and body right?

@ChiDragon do you know what the channel system is?

Mind and body is well within the scope of Chi and Shen though

Some of the Yi Jing Jing principles are expressed through a body movement type exercise, but from what I can see most of the public ones have it wrong. And moreover, I've also noticed that some private teachers do as well When I say that its exclusive, what I mean is it is referring to something very specific. The principles aren't flexible, they are rather concrete The best thing you could do is watch the video posted by @Wilhelm. It will go into detail in a way that would take a very long time to write

Well the Yijinjing is a lot more nuanced than an exercise, and its rather exclusive Its a set of teachings that outline a process of transformation the body goes through when certain principles are applied

So that package you're selling must not be special? You will share anything? Really? OK, you could start by sharing the above package freely with us all

He graduated to making feature length films as opposed to writing book length posts Probably figured out it was easier on the fingers

How kindly do you share? Last I checked it was 100 entry fee right?

I suspect seeing as you seem to agree with awaken on so much, It might be better for you to first explore the role of qi storage and compression in neidan. You know that whole pure evil transfer method and all Fortunately that part is wrote down But Im sure a scholar like yourself does know that, so ill leave you to it

Neither, forgot the damn button sequence, so the slippery lizard fell over and made me look stupid

Sorry man, I've learned not to quote people when engaging with you And since there's no Wikipedia entry, I'm at a bit of an impasse

Come on now freeform, we both know the 7 day workshop will get you there Ugh, pills (Personally, I think i'd prefer my powdered deceased master relics snorted through a bank note, or in some tea ) Jokes aside, thanks for elucidating to the process though, first time i'd heard that description given The higher attainment leaves no such thing behind though I believe, that's tho whole gone and never ever coming back thing?

Thank you both for the detailed responses. It was kind of hard to piece this all together but the above certainly goes a long way. Wish you both well and would certainly steer clear of energetics for a while Freeforms advice was very profound, would stick with that and you'll be on the right road

Is that not a few steps down from the higher attainment though? One of the answers I got when asking about the aims of the practice was nirodha (well technically nirodha without return) One thing I find interesting about this interview is that if people were paying attention, they actually gave away the mechanism for generating qi properly. Im not sure if that got lost under the ruffled feathers or what happened, but they pretty much stated it very clearly

Ill take kindness, transparency, honesty, humility, fairness and compassion over sparkly fingers, human bug zappers and liars any day of the week (general comment at such people, no individual) You think too little of yourself, friend You'd be more than surprised what such things mean in terms of the potential to connect to soul

Hello, Welcome You might be best advised to avoid this. Depending on what exactly you are looking for, there are plenty of people here who could point you in a more useful direction

Also, really? You need to stay away from this guy with his made up synthesis of techniques from east and west and his working with entities/beings. You need a spiritual bath Instead here you go. I also have combined techniques form the east and west too. Heres this mantra I created that you can use to connect with this entity/being How is this any different exactly?
