Quite correct

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.

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.

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

Some good videos on the topic:

What the actual is this thread

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.

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

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?

Do what thou wilt

What methods are they teaching you to replenish your qi?

Have you ever tried a McSpicy?

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?

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

Shadow_self is “taking the time off” this website so you will be waiting a long time for a response hehe I can DM you his email if you want to contact him

Better to send him an email at [email protected] as he’s not that active on TDB anymore

@Lois what program do you use to make the videos?

I tried it, it’s quite good but I mainly do Flying Phoenix and Tan Tao Pai qigong as I find the healing effects better. Banduanjin is a good one to learn without teacher though, lots of free and detailed information on them available and is hard to really do damage to yourself with those.

That’s very smart! If you do end up wanting to learn, let me know and I can put you in touch with someone who knows a teacher. Definitely will be remotely since you don’t live in the same country but at least you can get direct feedback.

No, I mean are you doing Fragrant Qigong as well as YJJ?

I liked this one though, it was pretty cool

Chat, generate AI art exactly like this one

@Thrice Daily are you doing this daily along with yijinjing?

It’s Javanese
