This is the way. Moving around helps the qi travel around the body but the seated stillness will bring it back to the LDT, will increase the storage capacity of the lower dantien and will create more qi. It is specifically the the seated stillness that will “build qi” as @almaxy asked. Qigong and other standing practices are to move qi around the body, but like you guys said there needs to be a balance. If you only do standing and active practices, you will just use up qi without replenishing. If you just do seated practices, it will just lay stagnant and useless.

I don’t think most people mind you posting it here! It’s all relevant to what we were already discussing before you joined.

This is probably the best advice from this thread

I’m not angry, it’s absolutely hilarious. This is the most I’ve laughed on this site in a long time! Thank you for that.

Don’t bother engaging with him. The thread is getting good again, don’t let him ruin it.

lmao this made me crack up. I knew he was full of shit but didn’t think he would actually admit it

Yea I’m just gonna stick around to read @Infolad1’s posts. At least I learn something from them not go around in the same circular argument. If you believe in faqi, cool, if you don’t, also cool. I don’t care anymore.

Ah I can’t be bothered anymore

You are wasting your time, he’s a nobody. He’s just trolling you.

It boggles the mind that no one even thought of asking Rudi a question until 4 pages in. And even then that was after it was pointed out. Some people just like to hear the sound of their own voice, or in this case read their own words. It’s not even about believing it or not, even if you are extremely skeptical about faqi and think it’s fake, ask how it works so you can then disprove it, not make guesses about how you think the process is. Ask about the lineage, the teachings etc. It would save a lot of embarrassment of getting simple facts wrong like the one I mentioned in my last comment. Being skeptical is good, just do it properly and do your research not spout your own opinion without backing it up with evidence.

Thanks for this! I always look forward to your posts. The frog face video is something amazing, I remember the first time hearing about it from a book. I just wish people were more open minded towards new discoveries and how people are actually trying to explain all this phenomena with science. If there was no curiosity for the unknown, there would be zero scientific progress with anything. Not going to directly reply to this guy because I can’t be bothered to deal with him. But it needs to be said that this is just his opinion. Many lineages, including Rudi’s, believe that siddhi is not the goal of these practices, but simply a byproduct of correct practice. If you cultivate to a stage where you can perform faqi, you don’t even need to use it. You can keep your qi for use in your own cultivation. You don’t even have to learn how to faqi if you don’t want to. The choice is yours.

Like this? Search for Authentic Neigong if energy/qi manipulation for healing is what you are looking for.

Thanks for the detailed answer @senseless virtue!

Hi Sifu Terry @zen-bear, This might be a silly question but I’ll ask it anyway. I’ve recently bought a smartwatch that can record pulse, breathe and other functions of the body. Is it safe to wear it while practicing Flying Phoenix or will the electronics etc interfere with the FP energy? Regards, Jonathon

To build qi, do seated stillness meditation.

The key word here is “deficiency”, which indicates that there is a function. Simply saying “speen qi” or “lung qi” does not make it a function.

Holy shit. I think I want to learn from him now. Teach me senpai!

This is a good point. Some people don’t care about evidence or testimonies that don’t agree with their argument. They will just focus on the one thing that might help their case, not the 99 things that prove them wrong. And then there are other people who think that they are master debaters when in reality they are just masterbators getting off to the sound of their own voice. It’s almost pointless now to carry on with this discussion as it will just go round and round in circles. Better to focus on other things, let whoever wants to learn just read the entire thread and decide for themselves. I don’t think much more can be added at this point that hasn’t already been said.

Like electric eels, they have the magical ability to communicate with every living creature, no matter what language they speak

Imagine this, two people in a cage zapping each other to death! Now that would be high stakes betting.

Hello! What neigong are you doing?

Ah good choice! I might try the same This is a very useful skill

Welcome @redsk. It’s not superstition, eating and drinking cold stuff can be bad for you. Better to have cooked, hot or warm according to TCM.

Welcome! Im in the UK too!
