He seems to be having lots of practice. He had done the routine with finesse and very consistent. One would call it "the mind and the body are integrated as one." The movements of arms and legs are fully in coordination with the intent of the mind(yi, 意). Very good demo. Thanks.

The hardest part is how long will you practice it diligently. You will never able to locate and direct chi around the body. The chi will take effect inside your body, automatically, only from a prolong period of practice. Yes, it is very very good for your health.

Yes, I had done this before and open for criticism. http://thetaobums.com/topic/20069-simpleffective-chi-kung-demo/ In deep concentration with the eyes closed. http://thetaobums.com/topic/25612-meditation-the-yi-in-the-mind-shown-by-the-hands/

Handle a weapon requires Nei li(內力) which acquired from the practice of NeiKung(內功). The more Nei Li one has will help one to handle the weapon more skillfully.

Thanks. I do this all the time also. It is very fundamental for Chi Kung. It is a matter of understand the principle of the neikung arts.

Was your breathing in synchronization with your hand motions.....???

What is a good teacher.....??? How do you know this or that teacher is good or not.....???

It has been known that the human world was considered to be "Yang, 陽間"; and the under world of the ghosts is considered to be "Yin, 陰間" or any spiritual figures are considered to be "Yin". By definition, an immortal is the spiritual soul which left a human body, therefore, an immortal is classified as "Yin". Humans cook foods with fire(yang), that is why a living human being is considered to be Yang. However, the ghosts and immortals do not touch cooked human foods by fire, therefore, they are not considered to be Yang but Yin.

When the body has more fresh sperms, it seems to provoke the desire to have sex. I think the new sperms are being manufactured have a lot to do with the libido, in the first three days, after ejaculation. Here is an idea which might help to understand why a male gets so horny, three days, after ejaculation. Read more: How long does it take sperm to build back up? | Answerbag http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/194261#ixzz2hRD2grZA "A few hours for some...3 days for full amount and tops off at that point. However, you can 'demand' that the sperm be produced sooner by having more orgasms over a short period of time and then waiting. This will cause your body to produce more sperm thinking that this is the 'normal' sexual activity that should be occur." Correction: It takes 70 - 75 days for sperms to be matured. It take three days for sperms to be produced to reach the peak number.

You welcome...!!! Yes, this is what I meant; you have to ejaculate once awhile to keep yourself sexual active to maintain your libido.

1. Your libido goes up, most of the time, for teenagers. It is because their reproductive systems were under development. Thus their libido is very high which given them the urge to masturbate. Unfortunately, the urgency will make them do it excessively which cause serious health and mental problems. 2. As people grow older, the libido goes lower and requires more stimulants to provoke their desire. 3. I think the genital area is more sensitive, in the first three days, when new sperms were being reproduced. After that the third day, the genital becomes desensitized due to less sexual activity. Indeed, to keep the libido high, one must keep the sexual activity in moderation. Otherwise, the desire goes low if not too active.

After you lose your energy by releasing it, your sperms will be reproduced in three days. Then, your libido drive will be high. It will be low again after the energy was released again. If you don't release the energy right away, then the drive will be less and less day by day. Until you release it again, then, the drive goes up again in three days. IME This seems like a normal biological effect in the reproduction cycle. FYI Your sperms mature in three days after ejaculation. That is why doctors recommend their patients not to sex three days before a sperm count test.

You welcome....!!! This issue has been posted many times in the past.There was another member had posted the exact same thing recently. However, I had communicated with him by PM. Since this is a very common thing for the guys, I have decided to bring this in the open again. Btw this is not the first I have posted something like this. Indeed, I asked the same question and returned with the same response from quite a few in the forum. It is a wise thing for you to do by cutting it down once or twice a week. Once per day is too much for your body to handle. Physiologically, one does it every other two days is normal. Thus it gives ample of time for your body to recuperate. In regards to "jing" or "qi" but rather about vital nutrients that you deplete every time you "emit". Anyway, jing or qi is the ancient terms which is equivalent to "vital nutrients" in modern terms. Actually, you need the source of energy which are the vital nutrients for the body to generate the internal vital energy for your body to function. If you 'emit' too much, then you will dissipate your vital energy sooner than your body can generate. The depletion of the vital energy will deprive your body from its normal function elsewhere. It will cause lots of physical and mental problems. If you have an abdominal pain as the result from the 'emission', please PM me for getting rid of the pain. So far, I had helped one person with good result.

Chapter 19 of TTC 1. 絕聖棄智(jue sheng qi zhi)， 2. 民利百倍(min li bai bei)； 1. Extirpate impudence and discard fraudulence, 2. People will benefit hundredfold.

Do you pay much attention to your breathing....??? Breathing and eating are absorbing the source of energy. No one will nor can take your Chi away.

How is your sex life with or without a partner.....??? It makes lots of difference how often you do it without a partner. Sorry, I have to ask this silly question but it is a very serious thing which is effecting your life.

Chi comes in many forms. It can be a source of energy which is external; and it can be a form of energy which is internal. The human body utilize the external source of energy and converted to the internal form of energy within the body. Thus the form of energy is vital to all living things. Since all the forms of Chi are keeping us alive, just for convenience sake, I would call the combination of "the source of energy" and "the form of energy" as the Universal Chi. I think the Universal Chi is here for a long time to maintain the vitality of all the living things. Therefore, I think Chi is infinite. BTW I don't believe that Chi can be stored inside the body. Rather, the body utilizes the source of energy, as long it was available, to generate the various forms of energy internally.

In the TTC, besides 無為, Lao Tze was advocating 無爭and 不爭. 爭: contend; compete, conflict; etc. What would be the closest translation for 不爭....??? What is the best translation for this phrase....??? 聖人之道為而不爭 PS.... This is not a challenge, I just want to come up with a good finalized translation of the TTC with all the helps that I can get. I would like to work the right choice of words, so, it won't be contentious.

Thanks MH... I think we have it down pack. 聖人之道: The way of a sage 為: to be conducted 而不爭: but uncontentious. 聖人之道為而不爭 The way of a sage is to be conducted but not contentious. This is more close to the original thought, but does it sound OK in English....???

That is fine. Thanks! Can you make it sound like a philosophical statement instead of an advice....??? Can you treat the "manner of a sage" as the subject....??? Thanks!

無爭: No conflict 不爭; avoid conflicts; do not provoke; uncontentious; 聖人之道為而不爭 To conduct with the manner as a sage is to be uncontentious. Note: Does the English need to be improved....??? Thanks.

Make constant deep breathing (氣沈丹田) as your breathing habit but not during sleep to avoid too much energy being generated which might cause insomnia.

Here is a TV serious, The Legend, was about Huang Di. Sheng Nong (神农), 炎帝, was a medicine man who works with herbs helping to get rid of the contagious disease for all the tribes. http://www.letv.com/ptv/vplay/854167.html

The number nine(九) is considered to be the highest number in the Chinese number system. 1. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. The odd numbers 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 are considered to be Yang. The even numbers 2, 4, 6, 8 are considered to be Yin. Since the number 9 is the highest and yangest, the Chinese has very high respect and regards for this number.

There were no Wangs(王) in early China. Actually, they were the chiefs of some tribes during the prehistoric period of China. Sheng Nong 神农, Fu Xi 庖犧 and Yellow Emperor(黃帝) were only legendary figures. Yellow Emperor(黃帝 ) was only a chief of a tribe. He was never an emperor. Huang Di(黃帝) was only his given name. If someone asked where is the Huang Di Nei Jing (黃帝內勁) came from, then it would be a very interesting question.
