  1. Immovable Tai Chi Master

    Bow and arrow stance
  2. Immovable Tai Chi Master

    Yeah he's the strongest man in china, and his specialty is also pushing. Pretty awesome!
  3. He's pretty awesome! First one was the Stan Lee superhumans section - shows a group of bulls. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPVsrZe5Oe0 This is one from a japanese show - he puts all sorts of animals to sleep. I bet the animals love it haha
  4. Hou Tian vs Xian Tian & Xiao Yao Pai

    From my understanding you develop the usage of Yin Shen travel early on in XYP right? Can you comment the usage or purpose of this?
  5. Vibrating the lower dantien

    ^ always a good enquiry at the start and to return to in ones cultivation and life.
  6. Yin? (yang?)

    John Chang said he could only see the "DEEPEST" level of their aura at maximum power, even people with low cultivation can see energy, just depends on the person.
  7. Hou Tian vs Xian Tian & Xiao Yao Pai

    So, in XYP, to evolve to Yang Shen the core method is simply Jing Zuo? And i suppose the Fu Fak Shen guided practice you do is clearing channels & refilling jing qi and shen so that eventually one can actually do the Jing Zuo correctly?
  8. Does full lotus help conserve jing?

    Different positions affect the energy in your body in different ways. Full lotus helps to shift the energy up away from the lower body so yes this can help with conserving jing. I personally don't use full lotus much at the moment - half lotus is my main meditation posture. It is enough. One can direct the energy up in any position when one knows how.
  9. Its simply behind a frame that is dirty - the paper itself is not and will never be dirty
  10. ...

    Hey guys ! let's rest in knowing that water will quench our thirst rather than actually drinking the water!
  11. The Tea Thread

    Has anyone tried the Mi Lan Dan Cong oolong variety? I ordered some yesterday, excited to try it
  12. Spring Forest Qigong Question

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_1sPDntOTs He shows the side view in this video. And the light is visualised inside the body Its a really really good exercise - dont think too hard and enjoy! Personally i don't do the visualisation - just a gentle prompt when i feel like it.
  13. The Tea Thread

    Any recommendations for an online store with good products?
  14. ...

    Yeah, it's not about purging - but transforming. Diet, good habits and meditation can help the process significantly.
  15. Spring Forest Qigong Question

    That sounds like the instruction for "Moving Yin and Yang" level one active exercise. I never heard that you direct MCO while doing this.
  16. Tai Chi and directing the Chi

    One simple thing you may try is, as you are going to sleep or perhaps in the morning - Just lay on your back in bed and just start your awareness at your head Really feel it - don't TRY to feel just feel and be aware. Then slowly move your awareness and feeling down your whole body, slowly, to your feet then slowly back up again. Repeat as many times as you like. You can actually go quite deep into feeling and working with flow of energy with this simple exercise.
  17. Yes a pleasant cool stream spontaneously opened down the forehead. A good sign me thinks.
  18. Yes pulling in the anus pushes the energy to ascend. Just take care to not do it too forcefully and dont tense other parts of your body.
  19. Tai Chi and directing the Chi

    Yabyum- Dont let anyone tell you that you cant locate and direct chi around the body, just because they can not. Ill post what has helped me when i am free later.
  20. I haven't got to this stage personally - but i know a few people who have. How to get there? High level of Qigong + meditation. The people i know are all accomplished in these and sleep around 4-5 hours naturally. You want a practice that raises the quantity and quality of your energy. You're going to have to become skilled in meditation.
  21. Finding a good guide / teacher.

    "It’s whether your mind is pure enough to match and reconnect with God’s frequency. Remember the rule: if your energy is pure and light and matches the frequency of God you will get closer to that Center. If your energy is heavy and slow, you will fall further away. Bad actions will lower that frequency, but so will bad thoughts. This is because both spring from the same heavy, slow and negative energy inside of you. Liao, Waysun (2010-10-11). Tao: The Way of God (Kindle Locations 1134-1137). Taichi Tao Productions. Kindle Edition. " Returning completely to the frequency of Dao = Immortality
  22. "It's not reiki but..."

    Wow! I never knew pigs were so awesome!
  23. "It's not reiki but..."

    Well i think most forms of reiki speak about channeling the universal energy to heal people - so one does not deplete oneself and just acts as a conduit. So quite different to stillness-movement. In fact i think Michael made a post a while back about this...
  24. Actually, the way to get rid of the "confusion, fear, self criticism and doubt" is to look at the experience as unimportant.
  25. As usual, it depends on what path you're on. If you're returning to the non-conceptual and pure then all the interesting things that happen in meditation are not important.
