Oh no, where are you based? Sifu Terry is working on putting all the DVDs on Vimeo so you could either wait until then or join one of the beginner zoom classes each Sunday

Start with Flying Phoenix then, the first two DVDs is enough to start with. It keep you busy for a few months. If you don’t end up liking it then at least it’s not a huge loss.

I would recommend Flying Phoenix because I’ve been doing doing it for a year and it has done wonders for my health in general. I haven’t done any of the others so can’t comment on them. Since doing Flying Phoenix for a year my eyesight is much better, I haven’t had a cold and it gets rid of my aches and pains from working 12 hours a day.

Just don’t over think it, practice for yourself. If your partner wants to practice with you, it’s a bonus.

I’m interested, would be happy to see it in a new thread or PM if you prefer

But what about the students who follow you? Can they produce a real mandala?

Jesus Christ how has a thread over a decade old been resurrected

Hi

Enjoy!

Speaking of Mizner, whatever happened to his Power of Chi movie? All trace of it seems to be wiped off the internet

There is a giant thread about it here: A more concise thread here: https://forum.alchemical.garden/threads/18/ And the main website here: http://www.taichimania.com/chikung_catalog.html

FYI @Stars

If two systems are incompatible with each other, you will experience negative side effects such as qi deviations, draining your qi or others. There’s no downside abandoning a system apart from the time wasted practicing it, in your case 3 weeks which isn’t bad anyway. Send Sifu Terry an email, he’s working on making the DVDs available on Vimeo so maybe he can help you out there, if it’s not ready yet I recommend taking lessons with him on zoom. It doesn’t have to be a private lesson, just join the beginner zoom classes. In a way it’s better than learning from the DVDs because you will get direct feedback and corrections, plus will get taught other practices that help. Ideally get the DVDs and do the zoom lessons so you have the DVDs as reference to practice to if you forget the movements.

Hi Eibu, I recommend doing Flying Phoenix Chi Kung to get rid of muscle pain. It works for me, I work 12 hours standing up every day and practicing FPCK helps to get rid of all the aches and pains from the day before. It’s a very safe system too.

Hi Stars, If I may recommend, don’t bother with Fragrance Qigong even though it is very powerful. The problem with it is that it’s not that compatible with other systems so in the end you will have to either abandon it or miss out on a lot more that you could be learning. For a good qigong system to begin with I recommend Flying Phoenix Chi Kung, it also has fast results. You can learn it by getting the DVDs or joining one of Sifu Terry’s zoom classes, check out the big thread about it here or PM me for more details. If it’s something like Mo Pai you are interested, I recommend Authentic Neigong by Rudi, it’s also very easy to learn and all online. Search for the threads here for more info or check out the website. It will teach you how to faqi (the electric shock treatment that Pak John did at his clinic). For a book similar to Magus of Java I recommend Adventures in Qi: Healing with Master Jiang. Rudi learned from Master Jiang and currently learns from Master Zhou. Check out this video: Master Jiang is the first guy in the video, and the guy in the rest of the video is Master Zhou. Here is a reading list I have compiled that might interest you: I don’t recommend reading books on theory, you can learn the relevant stuff from your masters that you end up with. Practice is way more important than filling your mind with information that may or may not be relevant to your lineage. I personally like books about different masters or stories about practitioners, inspires me to practice more. Hope this helps!

Ah glad to hear it, hope it works out for you! I’m actually in London too! Happy to meet up sometime if you want a chat. I’m relatively new to all of this, only got into about a year ago.

Welcome!

Hi Jason, If I may suggest, you shouldn’t learn only from books but either learn directly from Damo, as these practices could be harmful if done incorrectly. I’m currently practicing Flying Phoenix Chi Kung and Authentic Neigong so don’t have experience with Damo’s methods (however many people on here do) however I have felt heat and vibration in the lower abdomen from my practices. If you want to learn properly and safely, learn directly from a teacher. Hope your journey goes well! Jonathon

Welcome!

I think this particular instance is fake. From what my Sheikh told me and also my neigong teacher, when someone is possessed by an entity (or jinn, whatever language), they will be scared and try to run away from people who are capable of getting them out of their human host. During the process they might convulse, eyes roll around and pass out. This seems very theatrical. I like his dreads tho, pretty cool style.

Very interesting. I’m curious if qiyaam has anything to do with the lower dantian, or sujud with the third eye as you put pressure on it from the ground.

A good Christmas meme

I was taught that you are greeting the two angels like you said, the angel on your right is recording your good deeds, the angel on your left is recording your bad deeds. As far as I know it’s quite a common belief, I was taught this outside of Sufi circles.
