That's a good idea thelerner 😊 By the way, I am still working on trauma that I experienced as a 4 year old when my parents left me. This deep scar has made relationships difficult but at the same time opened my heart a lot and gave me big lessons on love. I've used Metta, flying phoenix meditation and energy healing tools to clear that trauma continuesly.

You could try Metta meditation, wishing others well.

Enlightenment - what is it?
johndoe2012 replied to Sir Darius the Clairvoyent's topic in General Discussion
Funny, sometimes I feel that way, that practice is not necessary because everything is completely as it should be. -
It is a good method and a very important one. Since this is the Daoist section, there should be an emphasis on jing also but standing takes care of that. I did the standing from "The Way of Energy" a year everyday (1 hour) when I started my journey here and it did a lot of good things for my system. Only "problem" is that you have more energy than your peers, energy enough for two people or lots of physical practice or any other endavour you pour your energy into.

For breathing you can also try the 'Resonant Breathing' app. It calms down the nervous system in a very effective manner.

Did 5 min of this just now, ended up shaking like in kunlun / yigong. Bliss is also similar to kunlun / yigong, probably the same circuit that gets used. It is hard not to smile after this practice 😊

Search for Primordial Qigong ebook on pdf sites. Copyright wise is ok since the original site is down. It has a description on wuji standing.

Is there an east/west schism
johndoe2012 replied to Sir Darius the Clairvoyent's topic in General Discussion
Europe lost a lot of wise folks, both male and females due to the Christian church killing them all and purged native traditions in favor of Christianity. Personally I feel people in Northern Europe are way too rational and have closed their hearts. Too little sun could also play a part in this way of being. When I went to China I was positively surprised of how social people were compared to here, where being anti social is the norm. -
Flying phoenix qigong has a tendency to relax the tension around eyes and improve vision. You can try this free version There are some paid ones by Terry Dunn that work the head more directly.

What is your experience with the Six Healing Sounds
johndoe2012 replied to markern's topic in General Discussion
For chi deviation issues I recommend Flying Phoenix Qigong, a sitting mediation is available on YouTube. Some chi deviations are just tension in the body which FP qigong is good at relaxing. Also instead of directly attacking the trauma / emotional issue which all kinds of healing modalities do, some times it is better to see that is 'not you'. Listen to Paul Hedderman non duality on YouTube, he points to it really well.- 10 replies

The guy goes on a spiritual forum praising pop psychology as if it were the best thing since sliced bread. His pop psychology hasn't managed to dissolve his black and white thinking, a sure sign he hasn't made any progress so far at all.

Is There Any Way to Know it is Real?
johndoe2012 replied to DreamBliss's topic in Esoteric and Occult Discussion
Even if you experienced something totally out of this world you would probably end up unhappy anyway so it is better to work on increasing your level of joy and contentment on a daily basis. The reason is meditation is a slow process that gives results on a longer timeframe. I found that to focus on eliminating my own beliefs that caused me to be unhappy made me content and happy in daily life and I don't need to do a ton of meditation to keep it up. Also finding something tangible that causes joy is a good antidote to the depressive focus that a lot of spiritual practitioners unfortunately have. Daily note what caused you to be unhappy and eliminate it. Find one thing that makes you happy and focus on that. Suddenly you find yourself in a place where you don't want to be anywhere else than where you are. -
Nice. A thread from the good ol bum days. The yoga mountain posture with hands up and focus on ming men increases jing but it is no surprise as hands up sends chi into Lao gung. Focus on ming men then sends chi into brain and gives a nice blissful feeling together with embroynic breathing qualities.

I get past lives as an issue to clear if I sense into your system. Trauma can sit in your system carried over from past lives, some call it karma. Can be cleared by a healer. You could also try sitting with Mother Meera on YouTube Best live but here is a recording

It is the same for all religions and philosophies. Non duality, the end of the personal self and no subject-object distinction. Some call it God, some call it Nirvana, some call it Dao.- 25 replies

The funny thing is when I went to China they seemed more extreme capitalists than when I went to the US. -

Buddhist meditations for extinguishing the self
johndoe2012 replied to Tom Beckett's topic in Buddhist Discussion
I suddenly remembered Rinzai Zen. You can access good courses on inner-craft.com, for direct pointing the Zen way https://www.inner-craft.com/courses/direct-pointing-sudden-awakening/ also other general Zen courses are available. -
I was doing a San Gong meditation with the breathing sequence 60% 50% and could feel my sense of self expand or awareness was more spread out so to speak. It could be linked to the Solar Plexus. I remember there was a technique from Rinzai Zen where one pressed the Solar Plexus to change the feeling of 'self'. Maybe 60% is linked to the Solar Plexus and the above diagram is correct? 😊

Primordial qigong aka Tai Chi for Enlightenment
johndoe2012 replied to liminal_luke's topic in Daoist Discussion
I hope this is ok copyright wise, since the Rubbo domain and ebook are no longer available online. As for people who say Buddhism is superior, I would like to point out the many who goes into the dark knight of the soul due to vipassana and the extreme focus on insight. A very ungrounded practice IMHO. Buddhist insight needs the ming aspect and energetic work of Taoism + focus on releasing/healing trauma and ego-tendencies from healing work in whatever form (therapy,energy healing, etc etc), just my opinion. -
Buddhist meditations for extinguishing the self

We already see clearly but then start to believe the mind there is more work to do to arrive at a future, better state. Call the bullshit of the mind and the party is over 😊
