  3. Hello - Topdown or Downup?

    Welcome to TDB.
  4. Jeff, Spotless, and Dwai gave excellent advice. In addition i would also recommend that you focus in on the blockages in your energy body that are causing the imbalance so you can get to the "core" of the cause. Here's a cool trick: After you do your tai chi practice and are all "charged up", open a conversation with your energy body and ask it to show you what blockages are causing the symptoms. Once you find the blockages, just meditate on them until you feel them dissolve. Hope that's helpful. Cheers.

    Its a kind of system of spiritual growth that works to expand consciousness via circulating energies in the body. The particular one i am offering is a movement system. This is a simple video example of a type of chi kung, try it and see if you like it.

  12. Smelling Cigarette Smoke!

    One of the first symptoms of cultivation i had was a stronger sense of smell, this is connected to the side channels IME. You may consider to do a bit of 9 Purification Breath. It's a Buddhist practice to help cleanse the energy body via using the nostrils. That may or may not help, just guessing.
