It was a common hairstyle for kids and immortals in those days.

It is his hair that was coiled up.

I am always wondering why people say that they practice Qigong and still get sick often. Qigong is suppose to make the body healthy. It seems to me that people do not know what Qigong is all about, but just practice something assuming it was Qigong and get no benefits out of it. If you don't mind, would you please tell me how did you practice your Qigong. You don't need to tell what style that you were practiced. Just tell me how!

The idea of losing yang chi is all in the mind. The reason for one to practice martial arts is to have the body to generate more yang chi than it can lose. If the yang chi can be that easy to be lost, then, one can touch anything and lose it. It is bunch of non sense.

FYI Grounding in martial arts means how stable one can stand on the ground to keep balance. It is nothing like in an electrical circuit ground with a short that might cause to drain some electrical power. It seems someone had mixed up with a capacitor. PS If you are talking about touching the other kind of "grass", then, yes bye-bye chi.

FYI The videos shown here are not for beginners. In the way, come to think of it, it is not even for intermediate level neither. It take time to achieve to the higher level. One cannot jump the gun and skip the progressive practice.

You just took the words right out of my mouth. Thanks! 🙏

Yes, I understand. A Dutch speaks Chinese is always better than a native speaker.

It should be read this way. 喜 怒 哀 樂 之未 發 , Happiness(喜), anger(怒), sorrow(哀), and joyfulness(樂) have not being emerged. 谓 之 中 : it was considered to be nothing have had happened.

It is the thought that counts. I had changed the quotes. Are you happy now?

Here is the interpretation of the poem. It is the internal practice of the Taoist religion. https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/654569512 Quote: "道教说的静是怎样的一种状态呢？可能有人误会静是无事的闲静，或者是死静（这些观念被炼养者批判很久了）。其实，静是蕴含极大活力的。邵雍有诗云：“天心复处是无心，心至无时无处寻。若谓无心便无事，水中何故却生金。”意谓无心后而得静境，但并非就了事了，而是能出水中生金——即丹家所说的静极而动，阳气发生。 笔者依据典籍所述和自身经验，对最初的入静境界作了如下的界说： 所谓的入静境界，实质是一种身心高度和谐的“虚凝”状态……入静不单是心理（神经）的感受，也有生理（机体）的效应。从心理说，虚是指去除了散乱、昏滞等烦扰后呈显的空灵清虚感受，凝是指心神安然专注，难被内外诸境干扰的定心。从生理说，虚是去除了气血躁动、结滞后的空灵清爽，凝是肌骨连绵一体（肌肉若一——既绵实坚密又协调一致）而内力贯身（持身法）的融和统一。它是一种潜含目的性、高度有序化、具有良好协调性的清明虚灵、空爽安和、浑然一体状态，在行住坐卧中都能感受到。"

Happiness, angry, sorrow, and joyfulness have not being emerged, it was considered to be nothing have had happened. "中" means in the middle being neutral nothing was happening. This the classical interpretation.

If you put your mind into your thoughts, then, your thoughts will come true.

Welcome, my humble one. Do not believe everything you read nor heard. Do not practice everything that you were introduced. Do not start something in the middle because you were told that is best for you. Do not practice as many styles as you like. It is not the more the merrier. Just stay with one style and master it. Building up jing in body cultivation is by practicing Qigong. Qigong is learning how to breathe properly to have the body function at full capacity.

So, did you find the sore spot on the left side of your lower right arm then?

May I ask what did you do to get rid of the pain?

I was talking about these kind of enlightenment 7 stages are typically described as: Mindfulness and awareness. Tranquility and concentration. Insight and understanding. Spiritual awakening. Non-attachment. The path to liberation. The state of nirvana or enlightenment. @Maddie This is your definition in Indian Buddhism. "bodhi": knowledge, wisdom, wakeful intellect, or awakened divinity of a Buddha. In Buddhism, enlightenment (called bodhi in Indian Buddhism, or satori in Zen Buddhism) is when a Buddhist finds the truth about life and stops being reborn because they have reached Nirvana. My definition is in Zen Buddhism. Zen Buddhism is not just about finds the truth about life and stops being reborn.

I would considered that is an enlightenment for you acquired from the meditation.

I am new to the term. What is a boxed breathing?

A person who stepped into a Buddhist temple to become a Buddhist, that person will be out of this world and leave the problems behind regardless of the consequences. I am only speaking within the Chinese society who has this kind of problems.
