You welcome! By observation, this style seems to be for someone with an initial physical fitness in consuming lots of body energy during practice. IMO It was designed for combat with swift motions to anticipate the opponent. Is this something that you want and to be a good fighter....???

Taoist Alchemy & Immortality - Absorption of energy from the Tao required or not?
ChiDragon replied to Wells's topic in Daoist Discussion
炁(Chi with no fire): the prenatal Chi; primordial essence from the parents before birth. "No fire" which indicates that something has not been touched by fire; and was considered to be the most natural essential substance. -
Taoist Alchemy & Immortality - Absorption of energy from the Tao required or not?
ChiDragon replied to Wells's topic in Daoist Discussion
FYI... 1. 氣(Chi) in TCM means functional activity of the organs. 2. 氣(Chi) in Chi Kung means breathing the air(the Chi of nature). People have never understand the distinction between the two and they never will. -

Taoist Alchemy & Immortality - Absorption of energy from the Tao required or not?
ChiDragon replied to Wells's topic in Daoist Discussion
In TCM, the so-call "energy blockage" is simply means that the functional activity of certain organ was not functioning. The malfunction organ was effecting or stopping other organs from functioning properly. In order to clear the blockage, it was by making the malfunction organ to be functional again. Hence, it was said to be that the blockage has been cleared. -

If you believe all what you had read and cannot filter out the unwanted fallacies, then you will be confused as hell. It had to be one way or the other but not all. -
Taoist Alchemy & Immortality - Absorption of energy from the Tao required or not?
ChiDragon replied to Wells's topic in Daoist Discussion
Yes, "One Chi" maybe considered as "Yuan Chi"; but Jin is the body strength and Jing is the primal essence which makes up the body. Jing can be considered as your body cells, blood, body fluids and other essential substances which are to be sustained for the vitality of the human body. -

It would more appropriate to Change "Jing(精)" to "Jin(勁)". "Jin(勁)" is what you are building up from Nei Kung. -

Hello....question about qigong and kungfu practice
ChiDragon replied to kentucker4's topic in General Discussion
Kung Fu is external and Chi Kung is internal. Internal(Nei Kung) is aiding the external while the external has a cancelling effect for the Internal for beginners. It is wise to practice the internal first for few years to have the body to build up the jin for external practice. There is no rush for the external practice unless you are preparing to fight somebody in a hurry. It is a rule of thumb not to practice both a the same time. -
Can one practice alchemy if castrated or vasectomied?
ChiDragon replied to rosscb's topic in General Discussion
Isn't there a big difference between castration and vasectomy....??? Castration does not and cannot reproduce any sperms as opposed to vasectomy. Anyone can practice alchemy if the notion about the reproduction of sperms was removed. It was a fallacy by some ancient Taoists once thought that the Jing were sperms. The idea is still misleading in the present. Thus that's why we are having this argument in this thread. As I indicated before, Jing(精) is not sperm but 精子 is. The ancient Taoist confused themselves with the terminology Jing(精) from Jing, chi, shen(精氣神) with sperm(精子). Ever since, this confusion has never been cleared. -
Zhuang Tzu Famous quote: 1。吾生也有涯,而知也无涯。以有涯随无涯,殆已;已而为知者,殆而已矣。 我们的生命是有限的,而知识却是无限的。要想用有限的生命去追求无限的知识,便会感到很疲倦;既然如此还要不停地去追求知识,便会弄得更加疲困不堪! Our lives are limited; but we knew that knowledge has no limit. However, letting the limited life to pursue the unlimited knowledge, it would make one very fatigue. Hence, people are still not willing to stop pursue knowledge will make themselves even more fatigue....!!!

Hello....question about qigong and kungfu practice
ChiDragon replied to kentucker4's topic in General Discussion
1. I see this is a personal problem has to be resolved by yourself. 2. There something that you should be aware of which is that Kung Fu is an external practice; and Qi Gong is an internal. It seems to me you had indicated that you had done them in the reverse order. Since Qi Gong builds up energy and Kung Fu consumes energy, therefore, you should practice Qi Gong first then do the Kung Fu practice. My suggestion to you is just do the Qi Gong for awhile without doing the Kung Fu. It is because it will help you to heal the internal problems if there are any. You need to build up more energy in the body instead of consuming it. Indeed, Qi Gong with slow movements is a very good combination of exercising your breathing(internal) and physical body(external). Another words, it is equivalent to both Qi Gong and Kung Fu at the same time. That will kill two birds with one stone, so to speak. 3. I think you knew your problem is in the gaba receptors. It is a biological problem. I don't know if any external treatment would help it or not. However, Qi Gong is very effective in internal healing. If you continue with the practice, it might help you with other organs in the body and balance everything out holistically.... -
Hello....question about qigong and kungfu practice
ChiDragon replied to kentucker4's topic in General Discussion
It all depends how serious whatever you have in your body system. You said that you are having some drugs in your system which are giving you some side effects. Hopefully, all the drugs will be cleared out of your system soon. -
Hello....question about qigong and kungfu practice
ChiDragon replied to kentucker4's topic in General Discussion
1. You might call it the healing crisis or the worse nightmare at the beginning of Chi Kung practice due to the cleansing process. The frequency of the occurrence depends upon the health conditions of your body. If your body has something else, then there will be other symptoms. 2. Indeed, not bad at all. 3. It is wise not to force yourself to breathe too deep but breathe slowly as deep as you can. Eventually, from your daily practice, you breath will reach down to your dan tian(abdomen) progressively. There is no need to worry about every little detail but concentrate on your breathing. Breathing is the key to Chi Kung practice. Remember, just breathe slowly and deeply as your natural breathing routine. -
Is pre cum okay during sexual retention?
ChiDragon replied to kentucker4's topic in General Discussion
Practice Chi Kung alone doesn't get where one wants to go...!!! One must have some basic knowledge about the biological body. After ejaculation, the body system takes three days for the replenished sperms to reach maturity. Therefore, it would be ideal to practice Chi Kung daily and approach a girl every other four days or more. Pre cum is not very healthy mentally and biologically. Let's not start something if one cannot finish it to be more natural. -

I would like to rephrase it. First, let's take a look at EXTERNAL ALCHEMY to begin with, then consider how it is applied internally...

No problem. Your question gives me a notion that you have a brilliant mind. Your question is very pure and precisely to the point of what you are asking. The term "yang" was referring to something that is pure, positive, best but not contaminated by any external influences, whatsoever, physically or mentally. The term a "pure yang body" was, only an expression, referring to a body that was not introduced to any abusive substances such as bad foods like fat meat, alcohol, sex, or anything that was harmful to the body. In general, it was an indication that one wants to maintain the body in a good and healthy condition to prolong life. PS... This is, purely, the reflection of the point of view of a true ancient Chinese Taoist.

Hello....question about qigong and kungfu practice
ChiDragon replied to kentucker4's topic in General Discussion
QiGong does miracle. If the practitioner has a problem inside the body, QiGong will go through a cleansing process to help you to get rid of all the impurities. After the cleansing process, it will resume your body back to normalcy. However, during the cleansing process, your body will be going through some changes. Hence, you will had all kinds of different strange feelings that you've never had before. It is completely normal; and it was an indication that QiGong is working for you. So, don't worry but just continue with your practice.... -
What is the Tui Na(推拿)...??? Tui Na(推拿) involves two techniques, the Tui(推) and Na(拿). 1. Tui(推) is push the acupoints with pressure, back and forth, along a meridian. 2. Na(拿) is to squeeze the accpoints along a meridian with the thumb and the bent index fingers. The purpose of the Tui Na(推拿) technique was to innervate the acupoints by pressure instead of using needles as in acupuncture or heat treatment as in Moxibustion.

In Reverse breathing(RB), one was just do the opposite of natural abdominal breathing(NB). In RB one suck in the abdomen while inhale and expand the abdomen while exhale. The purpose of RB is to exchange the breath at a faster rate for a high level martial artist to Fa Jin(發勁). Therefore, in RB, one does not have to expand the abdomen all the way out before the next breath, as in NB, to keep up the body to generate the body strength. Thus RB is quite mechanical IMO.
