  1. Seeing Energies with Open Eyes

    I have to say, I used to see eyes like this during meditation, but haven’t for a few years now. Not sure what it meant. However I do regularly see coloured clouds of mist like those posted. Sometimes with my eyes open during certain practices.
  2. Dan tien too tough

    Hi @Strong&free, can you describe what qigong are you doing? In general I would say either do qigong or reiki, not both. That might be what’s causing you issues.
  3. It was invented by Jews

    Good idea
  4. It was invented by Jews

    I’m gonna get my popcorn again
  5. From Nonduality to Qi: A Mystic’s Journey into Energy Cultivation

    Yes, that is leave 1 in our practice: “Level 1 The 3 practices needed to activate the dantians ability to store qi, cultivate qi, ground your energy and start to open and fill the channels. Two of them are standing and one is sitting and requires about 40 mins a day. This first couple of years are laying the groundwork and getting your body ready for the advanced version of neigong taught in the second level and should be done for 1.5 years before learning more.”
  6. From Nonduality to Qi: A Mystic’s Journey into Energy Cultivation

    Yes, multiple people. Me included.

    Welcome Joey! This might interest you: https://authenticneigong.com/
  8. Flying Phoenix Chi Kung

    I find that the qi that we cultivate in FP is much different than qi from other qigong systems, so you should be fine. Are you practicing any other qigong apart from FP?
  9. Flying Phoenix Chi Kung

    This makes a lot of sense, I never thought of doing that. I’ll try it out!
  10. Introduction

    Welcome! How are you finding Flying Phoenix so far?
  11. What exactly is neidan/internal alchemy?

    No, I mean what lineage is he initiated into and allowed to teach from?
  12. Flying Phoenix Chi Kung

    Did anyone do Monk Gazing At Moon with the full moon last night? There was a nice clear sky in London for once so I had a nice session
  13. What exactly is neidan/internal alchemy?

    What lineage is he from out of curiousity?
  14. Flying Phoenix Chi Kung

    This is amazing news!
  15. If there is no self then how does rebirth work?

    No self as in this current ego that has been constructed in this physical lifetime. The soul is eternal and will be reborn again, but not this current personality with your name.
  16. Current Events Discussion

    Good decision to shut it down. We have the entire internet to argue about politics, why bring it here too?
  17. Why were the highest spiritual teachings kept hidden/secret

    Maybe the highest spiritual teachings are the friends we make along the way
  18. Why were the highest spiritual teachings kept hidden/secret

    @Neirong I also think a lot of people are missing the point of the thread. The original question was “Why were the highest spiritual teachings kept hidden/secret?” not “Should you learn from a teaching or random texts found online?” So, to answer the first question: 1) The average untrained person would not understand the importance of the teachings 2) The teaching could be dangerous to the average untrained person who’s body or mind is not developed enough to handle it 3) The teaching is kept hidden so the wrong people don’t abuse it and use it to harm others
  19. Why were the highest spiritual teachings kept hidden/secret

    So how seriously do you take your cultivation? Like an all star Broadway show, or the local Christmas pantomime in the village hall?
  20. Why were the highest spiritual teachings kept hidden/secret

    Lower dantian will not reactivate naturally and spontaneously
  21. Why were the highest spiritual teachings kept hidden/secret

    My friend, do I need to quote your own words to you again?
  22. Why were the highest spiritual teachings kept hidden/secret

    Exactly the same for Muslims too
  23. Why were the highest spiritual teachings kept hidden/secret

    First of all this is incorrect. You have saints in the Orthodox Christianity, the Anglican Church and others. Even in other religions there are the similar concepts of “saints” like the Wali in Islam, Boddhisattva in Buddhism and Xian in Daoism. I won’t comment on the rest of the post.
  24. Why were the highest spiritual teachings kept hidden/secret

    Yes, when you meet an actual “saint”, it is quite the paradigm shift realising that the stories of miracles (healing hands etc) are true. They aren’t miracles at all, but the results of many years of correct practice and mindset. I will never understand why people choose not to learn from a group that has already done the hard work of figuring out what practices are legit and what aren’t. It just wastes so much of your own time trying to figure everything out by yourself. Yes, surround yourself with people you can learn more from. To be fair, I believe some people are hard wired not to recognise legit teachings. No matter how much you try to help them or guide them to proper practices, they just don’t see the value in it.
