When your energy is down in the Underworld....death feels easy. If its a karmic situation.....your options are too die (leave the body) or slave through the debts. For an energetic ailment....it can be remedied by a skilled healer.

It's overrated.

Building a foundation is much like investing your money. You want to make investments that accrue value over time rather than depreciate. Apply this principle to the various levels of your Being so that you avoid wasting your energy on fruitless endeavors. The various levels can be grouped into these categories: Mental, Emotional, Sexual and Physical. Learn to properly harness all these levels so that you can proportion there powers to where they need to go for cultivation. The "Monkey Mind" for example, is the ultimate waster of mental energy. Learning to move into stillness and create a space of mental silence for yourself comes with training. Absorbing your self in soap operas or dramatic and intense relationships that are constantly "UP and DOWN" wastes quite a bit of emotional energy. Watching Porn and spilling your seed frequently, is especially key for men. Learn to manage your sexual energy....or it will manage you. Eating unhealthy food, drugs, getting in fights...etc. These all cause the body, to give way prematurely and tempt you to an early grave. Thus wasting the vehicle that you should be doing your utmost to maintain. Bringing all of these layers into alignment is a long and arduous process. Intense cultivation will enable you to begin to "see" the writing on the wall and make the changes best for your life and practice.

Its cool that the courses are free. Congrats seems like there's some groovy chi over that way.

Drink a gallon of water a day and do an hour of sun salutations a day.

There is a reason why "traditionally" seekers/monks renounce all possessions when they decide to walk the path of spiritual attainment.

Love me some good martial arts training. Welcome to TDB. There are good and bad teachers in every style of martial arts. Finding a style that you resonate with and then a skilled teacher is key.

Welcome to TDB.

Welcome to TDB. Congrats on your daily practice.

Get rid of the Right-Left Paradigm. Just look at it from the perspective of corruption. In all societies....everywhere....corruption at all levels (Education, Journalism, Politics, Law Enforcement, Corporations, Military....etc) is always the greatest threat.

Chi Kung styles that require very specific structure can be hit or miss as very few people have good posture starting out. There are easier forms that focus on movement and there is less of a need for in person adjustments.

Your Qi is quite stagnant and grey. You may wish to do some energy practice. A basic movement. Welcome to TDB.

As common as the dirt in the earth.

Welcome, keeping your tongue to the roof of the mouth helps smooth out the flow. Path Notes by Glenn Morris has an overview of the process that is quite illustrative.

Strong energy movements in the subtle body can cause movements in the physical body. It means the energy wants to move in a specific way and the movements are a reflection of it trying to work through those channels and tissues. Let it happen. You can also consciously trigger these movements via spontaneous shaking,...just start to shake and let your "body wisdom" take over and guide the flow.

I've heard good things about Bodri and Sadghuru. As for your feelings of alternating between fatigue and high energy.....not sure....sounds like you may be having some temporary rushes of kundalini through your system. To help with fatigue you may wish to look at your diet. Avoid highly processed foods, grains and take cold showers in the morning. There may be some heavy "internal rewiring" going on that is causing the system to to feel more fatigue than usual.

Here are some useful articles and videos on Kundalini. Kundalini Syndrome is not permanent. The negative effects of kundalini are usually just because you didn't adequately prepare the body for the process via the right methods. https://kundaliniawakeningprocess.com/blog/videos-about-kundalini/

A pretty wild watch enjoy.

Still playing....the martial benefits of skeletal cultivation continue to expand. A truly joyous treasure, for those insane, horse stance loving masochists, like myself.

If life was worthless after 40, then Taoists would not emphasize Longevity.

Possibly energy hitting a blockage...though to cause pain, it has to be pretty severe.

Dogmatic ideologies can often hold you back. You gotta walk the path.
