  1. Unbalance Between Career & Spirituality?

    Many of history's greatest literary artists have also been some of the greatest spiritual cultivators known to man. The difference here is in the topic of their literature. If you continue to write about topics related to low acts of virtue, you will continue to vibrate and engage your consciousness with low states of existence, and thus will hinder your Spiritual cultivation. Others may make the reality of your situation sound more complicated, but really, that is all there is to it. Cultivating spiritually requires discipline and that comes with many sacrifices which will go against the activities of the mundane life.

    Its the channel connected to the stomach, which starts at the opening of the mouth hahaha I meant LUNG! It was lunch time when I was writing it and I was quite hungry. My subconscious must have gotten the better of me
  6. Taoist Yoga Discussion thread

    So he says that the Fire path of the MCO is run and this develops Yang Fire and the Water Path of the MCO is run in order to eliminate the Yin Fire so that only Yang Fire remains and the body radiates with positive virtue.
  7. Taoist Yoga Discussion thread

    During the embryonic development of the fetus there is no breathing through the nostrils. The Yuan Qi is circulated by the Yuan Shen internally through the meridians. BUT - During the initial phase of alchemy, when the fire is being kindled underneath the stove and first cauldron (LDT) - you use the ventilation of the lungs and respiratory mechanism.
  8. Taoist Yoga Discussion thread

    Nah. That is Embryonic (Fetal) Breathing. This is different from the breathing required during the kindling the fire stage to transform Jing to Qi. The Jing is gathered in the pot (LDT), the True Fire of the Heart (The empty heart/mind) is placed under the pot, the pot heats up and the Jing inside the pot boils and creates Qi (Jing Qi). This is the first step. That is why it is called KINDLING THE FIRE. Embryonic breathing comes during the STOPPING THE FIRE phase after the golden light manifests for the second time and breathing through the nose is stopped.
  9. Taoist Yoga Discussion thread

    Ok Drew. So he refers to Yang (Vitality - Qi) and Yin (Generative Force - Jing) And then to both of them as the Alchemical Agent in the LDT when the LDT vibrates as "Jing Qi".
  10. Taoist Yoga Discussion thread

    The Yin Shen refers to the negative virtues of the 5 organs, ie anger, anxiety, worry etc
  11. Taoist Yoga Discussion thread

    Heres one for you Drew. So, he says that the House of Fire in the Heart has two types of fire. One is the Hearts Fire (Fire of sexual desire) which is stirred by sexual thoughts and arouses the genital organ and the second is the True Hearts Fire which is aroused in the absence of thoughts. But hes says something important here too:
  12. Taoist Yoga Discussion thread

    Actually food creates Gu Qi. He says that when the Generative Force in the LDT vibrates, you use the leading fire technique to gather and circulate the Alchemical Agent in the MCO. So according to him the Alchemical Agent is the "Jing Qi" or refined Jing So the Generative Force, now the Alchemical Agent, after vibrating, goes up the spine into the MCO where it is radiated by Ling Qi (spiritual light) from the Yuan Shen seated in the heart, AT the MAO point at GV6. And this process energized the Alchemical Agent so that It can rise higher into the Brain to manifest the Mysterious Gate. After the MCO is opened and the inner Alchemical Agent (Jing Qi) has been rotated in the MCO continuously, the disciple can then try to manifest the White Light by rolling the eyes around while leading the Yang Fire (Jing Qi/Inner Alchemical Agent) around the MCO. Each breath is one rotation of the MCO during with the eyes are rolled across the 4 main cardinal points of the MCO. This is done 9 times. SO 9 breaths, in order to manifest the Mysterious Gate. This MCO cycle with the eyes is done a maximum of 36 rotations in order to move the Yang Fire up the spine and into the brain. So thats that for Yang Fire, Drew. He refers to Yang Fire as the combined Jing Qi (inner Alchemical Agent) He then refers to Yin Fire. Which is done by running the water cycle of the MCO. The reverse MCO, which is down the GV and up the CV and is done 6 times for 6 breaths or a maximum of 24.

    There is. Read his Chinese Medical Qigong Therapy book. You can find it online or buy it on his website and someone might even be nice enough to share it with you. There is a section dedicated to Soul Retrieval for the medical qigong practitioner.
  16. Why do females progress faster on the way

    Women just have the first phase of alchemy easier. It is harder for them afterwards.
  17. I'm on my second session with him now and not really feeling much. Hopefully the 3rd one will be better. I'm not too happy that I'm not getting any feedback about the sessions from him, not via e-mail and not on the phone either so far. So I am just assuming that something is being done, as opposed to being able to tell for certain that something is being done (or being told what's being done), like I have felt with other healers before. Is it because I'm all the way in London? - Who knows... Either way, It's nice to see everyone else having good results. One more session tomorrow. *shrug*
