  3. Flying Phoenix Chi Kung

    Well it’s interesting to see that you didn’t need to because of FP Long form daily plus I rotate through each exercise so I do each of them at least once a week
  4. Are Neurons (fat cells) Antenna for Spirits [aka Ideas]

    Thank you for the actual answer
  5. Are Neurons (fat cells) Antenna for Spirits [aka Ideas]

    I don’t think you understand my point. Would someone who was born on a desert island with no communication with the rest of the world and will never encounter a Christian or Christianity ever, not go to heaven?

    What if you live on a remote island and you and your people have never encountered Christianity ever?

    What is . backwards?
  8. Flying Phoenix Chi Kung

    This is amazing! Did you end up taking the meds in the end? I’ve been regularly clearing cold symptoms with FP too
  9. In general, you should wear natural (non synthetic) shoes Practicing barefoot on a natural surface is slightly more beneficial than with footwear. However if it’s cold it’s better to wear footwear to keep your feet warm and to stop the cold entering your body through your feet
  10. Its’s like that phrase “jack of all trades, master of none”. Don’t try to do everything, specialise in something. In regards to qigong and internal arts I would do no more than 3 different systems, and see them all through to the end. Some people like to mix and match different practices from multiple systems which at best leads to slow or no development, or at worst will cause harm to you energetically, physically and/or mentally. You are still young, the only thing you can do is try things for yourself. Pick a system, any system. Do it for a year. If it’s good and works for you, keep doing it. If it’s not, stop doing it and find something else. A good way to see if a teacher is good is not just what skills/behaviour they have, but also what skills/behaviour their students have.
  11. Jing and Semen

    Quite correct
  12. Think of your body like a machine, you need food as fuel and sleep to recharge your battery. Good diet means better and more efficient fuel, while good sleep means you aren’t draining your battery completely and will last longer.
  13. It is because your brain associates the place you sleep as the place you sleep. If you practice there, it will be easier to fall asleep during practice. Having a dedicated place to practice is good because your mind will associated practice with that spot so you can easily switch to practice mode.
  14. If your intention with practice is to turn jing into qi, then don’t practice on an empty stomach, as you need food to support your jing to use for qi

  18. Yi Jin Jing/ Tendon-Muscle Strengthening Exercises

    Be careful, Fragrant Qigong is not compatible with other systems. Proper YJJ is already draining enough, it will do damage to you if you do both.
  19. Yi Jin Jing/ Tendon-Muscle Strengthening Exercises

    It’s a set of exercises based on a set of principles Correct Search up the old threads for Gengmenpai Yijinjing and you will find something legit
  20. Energy boundary disruption during Qi Gong class

    Ideally you will want a specific practice to generate the qi you are losing by doing work on others. I would into neigong if I was you. What is Hakuin’s butter meditation btw?
  21. Text Analysis: The AbraMelin

    Do what thou wilt
  22. Energy boundary disruption during Qi Gong class

    What methods are they teaching you to replenish your qi?
  23. Why do we make bad decisions?

    Have you ever tried a McSpicy?
  24. Vipassana meditation

    That’s why you can’t sleep. You are bringing energy to your head. Didn’t Damo teach you some form of stillness to bring to qi down?
  25. Vipassana meditation

    Which part of your body is your mind focused on when you meditate?
