Hi, I’ll try to answer them one-by-one.

 

Long-term benefits:

I’m fortunate to not have many health challenges right now, so I practice mostly for the mental and emotional benefits. I find it contributes to a positive and constructive attitude. It makes me easier to be kinder to others. It also supports deeper and easier sleep for me.

 

Vs other practices:

I enjoy its flexibility and few restrictions on practice, and its safety. It’s a safe practice to learn and practice on your own, even for many hours a day (eg. if you have a serious condition). I also enjoy Master Ou’s lectures, which he now offers on Zoom. I find him a very impressive person and learning from him is one benefit to practicing PGSG. 
 

Ceiling:

I think the practice can go deep, but I’d probably recommend learning the other forms too. Some students also find that doing more qi healings opens them up and increases their sensitivity to the energy. The Advanced form is more potent for me than the others. But probably more important than the energy practices are refining one’s conduct as an individual. That is emphasized in the teachings more than the exercises even. I also find that the more you do the exercises, the more powerful they are.

 

Personally, I think that most qigong practices discussed on this forum can take you very very far, and it’s more a question of whether you gel with it enough to actually practice it, and whether you connect with the teacher / teachings.
 

Hope this helps!

 

Thanks, that helps a lot! 

Hi @nyerstudent , I have a few questions. What long term (extraordinary?) benefits have you noticed from your practice? Is there anything about it that stands out in comparison to other practices you’ve done? Have you noticed that there is any kind of ceiling to the spiritual and energetic growth gained, or does it continually get deeper and deeper over time?

Thanks

Hi Turnip. Welcome to the forum. There’s a “Flying Phoenix” teacher on the forum with an active thread. 

 

Thanks Cobie

Hi, does anyone else practice Pangu Shengong, or have any knowledge about the safety or efficacy of the system for healing and spiritual cultivation? 

Hi, I just joined. I've been practicing Pangu Shengong for a few months now. Before that I practiced Flying Phoenix for a little bit. Am still trying to map out the whole landscape of spiritual and energetic practices, lineages, systems, and teachers. Have read a fair bit of stuff posted on this site and it seems there's a lot of mixed opinions on these things as well. If anyone sees this and wants to respond, I must ask:

What do you practice?

Why do you practice?

What do you trust?

Why do you trust that?

Do you know anyone who you believe to be "enlightened" or very spiritually advanced? If so, what about them makes you think this?
