Congratulations, Icedude Finally, you got your official license. Ops... it is not the one that you wanted for Nirvana.

I thought: "Following the way gives strength."

May I ask? Don't you allow room for correction and improvement...???

Oh, that was not for a smart ass but, just in case, for those who didn't know.

The characters 趺坐調氣 from the video with the monk, let CD(the Chinese Dummy) say what is that meant. 趺坐: sit in lotus position(an esoteric Buddhist term) 調氣: regulate the breathing(it is an universal term) 調息: is another term that was used for 調氣. There is a special breathing technique for the regulation of 調氣. Most people saw the character 氣(Chi), probably would say it is regulating energy. However, it was not that way because without 氣(breath) that is no 氣(energy). One must start with 氣(air), in order, to 調氣 to produce the energy within the body. Hence, 調氣 is to regulate breathing rather than regulate energy. 調氣 is to breath slowly and deep into the lower dan tian. During the 調氣 process, inhale with the abdomen expand outward; and exhale with the abdomen contract inward. Hereinafter, 調氣 will be referred as the Ultimate Method of Breathing(UMB) as CD's definition of Chi Kung throughout all his posts for consistency. Btw There is an advance method one can hold the breath but still can regulate by moving the breath up and down the Trachea. Thus regulating the breath up and down the Trachea without exhalation will not cause suffocation as oppose to just holding the breath.

I don't breathe naturally but slowly and deep down to the lower dan tian. That is what I meant by the UMB.

There is one trick in arm wrestle to keep one from loosing. Of course, both are with equal weight and strength. I have developed my muscle from Tai Ji and ZZ. How did you develop yours?

Well, well, well, without the map, I still can breathe. There is only one workable method of Chi Kung or Qi Gong for me. I have defined it as the Ultimate Method of Breathing(UMB).

Sorry, no.

I'm kind of lost! How did Chi Kung got involved with the body language....???

Sorry, were you looking for something because you didn't find it, then it's useless....??? Where is this somewhere....???

Thank you! I thought no one will ever ask the question. Of course, I have something to offer. Otherwise, I wouldn't have initiated this thread. I have developed an immense body strength much much stronger than before. I'd scheduled to meet one of the TTB members, in a local park with questions about Tai Ji Quan. I had demonstrated the Neigong ability developed from Tai Ji like Fa Jin, instantly, to him. He can witness that if he wish to come forward. I can project my voice, with one deep breath, up to a half minute from Chi Kung practice. In addition, my leg muscles are hard as a rock.

In the comparison of the result between Dazou and Meditation in Pos t#73 and Post #74, respectively, which method would be more effective for energy development....??? If one can refine down to the nuance of the two, then one will have no problem distinguishing which comes first, Chi Kung or Neigong....!!! Btw I will disclose the nuance between Chi Kung and Neigong in the "Zazen, Dazuo(打坐), and Meditation" thread in the General Discussion section.

This the 30 Days Meditation Challenge. .....But its also nice to share the meditative experience with someone else. You feel less like this is a feat you must do alone, and find comfort in the sounds of inhalation and exhalation of your meditation partner. In a strange way, it keeps you grounded. - See more at: http://www.holisticv...h.dVG9dRtY.dpuf In meditation, most of the time, breathing was merely mentioned in a light tone but not strongly emphasized as in Dazuo: regulating the breathing.

趺坐調氣 Obviously, this monk is at the Dazuo position, is he meditating or regulating his breathing....???

Wow, that is quite an accomplishment in your cultivation there.....

There are some dangerous points around the eyes that can cause blindness. There are some points on the body can be life threatening also.

Sorry, never hear of it that way. Zen is strictly Buddhism.

Chan = Zen = 禪

禪修可以讓我們挖掘出我的智慧. Cultivation of Zen may let us find our own wisdom

Yes, Chan and Zen are just different phonetics(pinyin). This is an esoteric term used in Buddhism rather than Taoism. The Enlightenment of the Truth
