道道道. Dao dao Dao.

These statements can be rephrased: Question: Does it sound like that the jing is analogous to a "body cell"? A body cell can be repaired or dead. Based on your understanding, does the jing work in the similar fashion? Is it fair to say that: Post-heavenly way is to use the natural resources like food and oxygen to sustain the Pre-heavenly jing. FYI The Taoist dual cultivation is the Dual Cultivation of the Xing ans Ming(DCXM) which has been known as the dual cultivation of the mind and body. From your understand, you have treated the dual cultivation is the relationship between two opposite sex. What is your lucid understanding of the non-dual spiritual status....???

First of all, you cannot hold your breath longer than the system allows. Secondly, you should not hold your breath in the middle dan tian but the lower dan tian. Thirdly, orgasm without ejaculation may cause gas in your stomach which builds up pressure against your chest and heart. The correct way to breathe in Chi Kung is by sunken Chi to the lower dan tian not the middle dan tian. I understand that by holding the million dollar point will only prolong the erection rather than causing any pressure build up. The pressure buildup was by the gas in the stomach as mentioned above. During weight lifting, you should focus your breath in the lower dan tian not in the chest.

I don't ask anything but just listen.

Most people don't know what Chi Kung is all about. And this guy knows, Chi Kung is the Ultimate Method of Breathing(UMB). PS..... If no one can pass this hurdle or understand this simple concept, then one cannot go any further for advancement.

I have read this once in my native literature. The Micro-cosmic Orbit(小周天) must be accomplished before the Macro-cosmic Orbit(大周天). Normally, an ordinary person cannot perform deep breathing constantly. Constantly means every time when one breathes is deep down to the abdomen. The purpose of the Micro-cosmic Orbit is to open the channel between the Ren Meridian(任脈, Conception Vessel) and the Du Meridian(督脈, Governor Vessel). So, they can be connected in order to reach all other meridians. The process of the Micro-cosmic Orbit is to breathe so that the chi is sunken to the low dan tian. When one has the feeling that the breathing is deep down to the LDT, then it was considered that the Micro-cosmic orbit channel has been opened or cleared. Thus the Ren and Du Meridians are being connected and the Micro-cosmic Orbit has been completed. This is really not a special method rather than just a concept by a group of ancient Taoists.

I don't know. The terminology that thamosh uses doesn't resonant with me.

1. Is there such thing as alchemical Kung Fu.....??? 2. What are the Chinese characters for "kong jing".....???

The "ma" that you are talking about should be this character: 嗎(ma3). It has a mouth radical at the left side. Actually, "ni hao" is equal to "na hao ma?" for short. The "ma" can be omitted in the ordinary language.

Yes, it does to a certain extent. However, I would reconsidered that if I were you.......

One will never does Taiji wrong. Gong Fu is not Taiji for sure, even if you are doing it right....

There is a big difference between Kung Fu and Taiji. Kung Fu movements are more rougher and gross which can be accomplished in a shorter time. It is considered to be an external skill as opposed to Taiji. The forms of Taiji are much more refine and profound which considered to be an internal skill or Neigong. It takes a longer period to accomplish many different levels of skills.

Stosh..... Just don't read anything....!!! My reason is the impression that you've given me that you will not believe anything there is.....

You know that he knew is because he was the one who wrote the book. If he didn't know, otherwise, he wouldn't have had written the Tao Te Ching. You didn't know what he was talking about is because you cannot/didn't read a codex of the classic or the modern interpretation by the knowledgeable scholars that was written in the native language. Unfortunately, and the saddest part, the modern interpretation was never translated into another language and expose the true meanings of the TTC to the world. Btw he gave it a name to call it "Tao" was for the convenience of explanation. It cannot be spoken of was because that Tao cannot be described in few words, but it can be explained with many chapters. That was exactly what he had done. Lao Zi knew about Tao, already, in the first place. Otherwise, the Tao Te Ching wouldn't have been existed.

It seems, to me, the only thing that one can learn from a turtle is learn to hold the breath as long as one can. Something like: inhale, hold, exhale and repeat as someone has suggested. This is seems to be more practical and makes more sense other than fantasizing in using other fanatic methods about turtle breathing.

But most of us don't know what he is talking about....

I think the new entry of thoughts will acknowledge the mind.

The state of Emptiness in the mind is simply means that the mind has been cleared for new entries and evaluation. It does not mean it has nothing to be thinking about.

You've said the magic words...!!! That is what is all about in any method of breathing in the martial arts industry.

Apparently, the "ignore" preference didn't work this year.

A turtle breathes once above the water surface and can stay under water for eight minutes, then comes up for more air. If I remember this correctly...!!!

I like to hear it form him in his own words if no one minds....???

How does a turtle breathe......??? Please describe...!!!

However, the enlightenment has to be working out perfectly for you.

You are most welcome! Well, if I knew nothing about feng shui, then I wouldn't have respond to your OP in anyway. What I am trying to let you know is that, feng shui is for the ordinary people who want to have a pleasant environment to live and bring them good fortune. The Taoist and Buddhist do not require to have such environment. I think post #9 by yabyum24 says all.
