Doing fantastic after 1.5 hours of qigong (with MCO). Turns out I wasn't sending the energy down the correct channel in the front. After fixing this, everything is slowly coming back to normal. It's amazing.

Hey everyone, I have a genetic condition where in cold climate or if I'm a bit stressed, the blood circulation to my hands becomes very poor (vasoconstriction) and my hands become FREEZING cold. This even happens when I have been inside in the warmth for a long time if it's winter. Working as a massage therapist, this is a huge impediment to me, so I was wondering if you guys have any tricks to increase blood circulation to the hands that can be done relatively quickly (or for any length necessary!). I've already tried all the usual, warm water, swinging the arms to force blood in, massaging, various herbs and supplements, etc. So far, pretty much nothing has worked, so maybe you guys might have some other ideas? Also, strangely enough, there are times when my hands actually are hot like burning furnaces, but this occurs only when I am *extremely* relaxed, such as right after waking up, or after watching a movie for a long while. Thanks!

hey guys, I just drew this to describe how my energy body feels before and after (left = before, right = after). I think what actually happened is that I shot all my energy UP my FRONT channel and that's why things got messed up. Is this possible? Like I said, I was feeling better, but today I felt like crap again and it takes a lot of effort to keep myself balanced. Today at school I had to go to the bathroom a bit just to cool off because I suddenly started freaking out for no reason. I know time heals all wounds but I really wanted to take some proactive steps on healing myself. Qigong helps, but doesn't address the issue I have in the heart area, and might actually be making it worse, since I think I might be driving the energy in the wrong channels and congesting things up even further..

Good news everyone! I am 90% back to "normal", and actually a bit better overall, thanks to this lesson in sweet humility, I am seeing this much more clearly now. I honestly am still in shock with how quickly I recovered, but I couldn't have done it without everyone's love and kindness in getting through this.

This is very interesting to know, especially in light of all the recent "heart-centered" living stuff that's been coming out..

Hey guys, I have advanced so much in the past year in my personal evolution, I don't even know where to begin. I'm pretty much living the life I've always dreamed of. I did leave behind all cultivation practices in favor of training MMA, but I recently started doing chakra meditations again, and I'm a little bit overwhelmed with how powerful working and activating these energy centers is, and I want to either stop completely or proceed ultra cautiously, because otherwise I fear some negative repercussions. What has basically happened since I started working on my chakras, is I am (overly) acute and aware of the goings-on of the universe and people, ESPECIALLY in social interactions. I can tune-in to what others are feeling, but more often than not, I tend to active and amplify my own chakras, and see immediate feedback from the person I am with. A good example of this is with attractive women. I can just focus my heart and sacral chakra and I can get them aroused very quickly. The results are instant. I could pretty much do a double-blind placebo experiment and prove this. As soon as I focus on my sacral and she is in the vicinity, I will notice some sort of reaction. I *know* this could be confirmation bias, but it's too blatantly obvious, and I don't want to mess around with this kind of stuff at all. Another one would be my third eye, when I focus on it, I am *too* aware of everything, and I don't really like it. I want to know these things without my mind scrambling about them. Right now I think the best thing for me to do would be return to a simple qigong routine, or just regular deep breathing meditation, but I am also curious about how to continue developing my chakras without overwhelming myself. I hope this post made some sense, if not I will be happy to expand on this. Thanks everyone!

I'm actually going to print this. You are dead-on.

I'm doing MUCH MUCH better today, guys. I made it through school today almost without a hitch, except that my energy and concentration were completely shot. I have never felt so mentally and physically drained in my life. I'll keep up with the Qigong, stay positive, and I'll let you guys know what happens. I appreciate all your advice (I would reply individually if I had the energy right now!) and sincerely take it to heart.

I just woke up and I am feeling so much better. I still feel alright mentally, it's this sense of anguish in my *chest* that I just can't seem to shake off. Yes! Luckily I have many great, supportive friends I can talk to. But not anyone that could help me with my particular issue. I'll let you guys know how this goes from this point on.

Thanks for the support. The worrisome thing for me is, this whole spiritual journey of mine started back in 2008, and the exact same thing happened to me twice, only it was triggered differently on both occasions. My first "dark night of the soul" lasted 8 months, and my most recent one lasted 1.5 years. I barely got through them in one piece and were by far the worst thing myself and the people who loved me ever went through. I am sad to say, my dear friends, I think this is the end of the line for me. Things have gotten progressively worse again and I am feeling terrible. I have a feeling of impeding doom hanging over my shoulders that I cannot shake off, and I cannot help but think about what is in store for me I have school tomorrow and I can't fathom how I'm going to make it to class. I am feeling scared, trapped, lonely, and lost. How would you feel if someone told you you were to spend another year in isolated confinement inside the worst prison imaginable? The thought alone of making my parents have to go through this with me for a 3rd round is unbearable. I think I'm going to have a good cry now.

I got it! I'm sorry, I forgot to thank you! I will try this before bed for sure.

Thank you so much! Yes, I totally agree. Will the excess energy in my head resolve itself sufficiently on its own, though? I feel really loopy right now. I haven't felt this spaced out in a long time. FWIW, I feel much better right now, but by no means back to normal. 2 main issues here (even my friend who is a decent energy worker detected these without me telling him) -Too much energy stuck in my head -Blockage in heart chakra

Thanks guys! Any advice for release trapped energy in the head as well?

Yep- for sure the problem is in the front channel. Something is stuck in my chest area. I think most everything else is running relatively smoothly. Is there someone knowledgeable here who I could speak to on the phone? I am willing to pay for your time. Please, I really need your guys' help.. edit: After doing some "Small Universe" (MCO), I managed to smooth out the issue and I'm feeling AT LEAST 50-60% better. I feel I'm on the right track here, guys, but I really need some guidance! I'm going to stop doing all practices for now until I get some solid guidance..

Hey guys, I just finished my Qigong session and feel quite a bit better. Gathering the energy down the LDT helped a lot, but I still feel something "stuck" in my heart chakra. I feel like it's an easy fix intuitively, but have no idea what's wrong. The particularly bad thing about my situation is that my depressive episodes aren't like other people's. Mine last from 6 months all the way up to 2 years for the last one. That is, I am in a constant state of vegetative, suicidal turmoil and literally cannot function at all. Yes, It's that bad. I was wondering if anyone here would be willing to talk to me over the phone or Skype? Just for, whatever. It would make me feel better! Like I said, I can intuitively feel that this thing is easy to fix if someone could detect the problem. Right now, things aren't particularly bad, but I know from past experience, this is the exact state where things can get out of hand very quickly. For what it's worth, I felt absolutely fine before all this crap happened yesterday, so it's really out of the blue. I was aware of the risks, I *cannot* say I saw any of the coming.

I'm going to do another round of SFQ active exercises (since that what helped me yesterday), and try to get some physical exercise. Yes, I am totally scrambling to find a solution here. Knowing my body and past episodes, If I don't take action now, I know I have about a week tops before shit hits the fan.

Hey guys, Unfortunately, my depression symptoms have returned today, and I am kind of freaking out. I am under a tremendous load of stress on top of everything, so it is extremely hard to deal with at the moment. To make things worse, I actually do have bipolar disorder and am feeling myself on the brink of another depressive episode, but I could be wrong. ( havent had one in 2 years ) I literally feel like my heart center has gone from a radiating sun to a black hole overnight. How could I be so fucking stupid? Does anyone have any suggestions as to what my best course of action is? I don't know any masters in my area or anything. Things had been going so well for a long time now that I felt it was safe to experiment. Please spare me the lessons in stupidity. I assume full responsibility for my actions. Thanks.

I know it's wayyy too early to tell, but after experimenting for 2 days, I am still finding that I feel so much better after doing chakra meditations than after doing qigong (at least after doing SFQ). With the qigong I am left feeling pretty good, physically, but very sluggish mentally, and a bit tired. After the chakra meditations (especially kundalini yoga), I feel refreshed, happy, alert and motivated. Perhaps simply adding some daily Zhang Zhuang to the meditations could be enough? I will report back my findings..

But what about being heart-centered? That's where I tend to spend most of my time. Is the heart center a sufficiently grounded area? I work as a massage therapist, and I get the best results with clients when I use loving heart energy. What I found works well is keeping my front body very "open". I can literally feel the positive energy radiating out, but what happens then is I start focusing on individual chakras and starting to "experiment" if you will, with the different energy centers. (Note: I *never* do this while working with a client!) Anywho, I just did 15min of Zhan Zhaung and just that made a tremendous difference. I'm having trouble picking out which grounding exercises/meditations will work best for me since I don't have much free time (at least not as much as I used to!)

Would the Spring Forest Qigong standing active exercises (In Level 1) be appropriate to do as well? Or should I stick with a basic Zhan Zhaung? Sorry for all the questions, guys. I love y'all!

This is beautiful! Thank you so much! Would Bruce Frantsiz' water method be another good option?

Okay so this really jives with what I concluded intuitively, that I should focus on a more "grounding" method. What you guys just said is totally spot on. Do you have any recommendations for this? I'm totally cool with a bare to the bone basic exercise that will help with keeping my feet planted firmly on the ground. FWIW, I haven't gone to my Brazilian Jiu Jitsu class for a couple of weeks due to time constraints (and also stopped all training for the past week to rest), and it is precisely during this period that I have felt overwhelmed with what I described in my original post. I'm starting again first thing tomorrow!

Shoot! I didn't refresh before I replied! Thanks man.

Anyone have any advice at all? Should I just stay centered in the heart like I've been doing? It's like I've discovered a "turbo" button, but keeping it on is confusing and very demanding energetically... I don't know what to do! :/

You'll get the hang of it brother! Keep on truckin'.
