There are eight effective ways to fajin. See for yourself are they effected by the gloves or not. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rvvBLe0HPQ

Chi Kung or energy work will only speed up the process of healing. However, there is no guarantee it will leave no scar. What Chi Kung does is to increase the rate of metabolism. Just be sure your Chi Kung practice has something to do with deep, slow and long breathing. Otherwise, it has no speedy effect in your healing.

No, it is not more than symbolic. Well, you might say it keeps the body heat from radiation.

"Neigong is any practice that involves the evolution of the spirit through the cultivation of internal power and the fusion of Yin and Yang Qi." How did you derive this definition for Neigong(內功).....???

Can stillness medical system cure these illnesses?
ChiDragon replied to centertime's topic in General Discussion
I would say healing is like a cut on your finger has been closed. Thus that wouldn't be considered an improvement nor temporary. It was a complete healing. Where did you hear about the "stillness medical system" ....??? Is it the same as Chi Kung...??? -

Yes, just be sure to tell the doctor that you masturbate often. Otherwise, the doctor might assume there was a kidney infection and prescribe an unrelated drug. -
Wu Wei meaning non-selfish action
ChiDragon replied to Harmonious Emptiness's topic in Daoist Textual Studies
What do you think if the lines were rephrase like this: The man of superior character with Wu Wei has no motive; The man of inferior character acts with an ulterior motive. In the TTC, 無為(Wu Wei) is always in a form compound characters. They shouldn't be breaking up to translate separately; it will change Laozi's whole philosophy of Wu Wei completely. -
Sitting meditation: for how long do you sit?
ChiDragon replied to Vitalii's topic in Daoist Discussion
I would rephrase this line. 但有絲毫動靜思念,即不名靜坐。 If there is a slightest(絲毫) activity(動靜) in the thoughts, then it wouldn't be called still sitting(Jinzou). -

Yes, there were no rules but good intentions. Indeed, each philosophy was initiated with a good intention. These intentions eventually will meet at one point to share and emerge their commonalities.- 29 replies

The 5 so called "Cardinal Virtues" are, actually, the Confucian philosophy rather than the philosophy in the Tao Te Ching. The distinctive difference is morality(Confucian) and virtue(Taoism). The Chinese term 道德(Tao Te) is the same for both philosophies. One who study Taoism must know the distinctive difference in meaning between the two, before mix them up, to avoid confusion.- 29 replies

It depends on how often each individual does the practice. If one practice few times daily, one should feel the different in strength in few months. The more one practice, the sooner one will attain to that state. After three years, the jin(勁) developed in the muscles should be very noticeable. The jin should be built up more and more from year after year with diligent practice.

Lower Dantien Heat and Pain, Please Help!
ChiDragon replied to Dharmakaya's topic in General Discussion
Please take my words for it. The problem is from your masturbation and I repeat. Breathing in your Chi Kung practice cannot cause any pain as such. I had went through what you have gone through. It won't cause you addition pain. I just had performed the procedure, recently, and many times before, the pain went away immediately. PS..... Just for your confidence, there was one member PM'ed me with same problem. He was all right by taken my advice with positive feedback. -

All the problems described above were from your excessive masturbation. Chi Kung should do you a lot of good rather than bad. Thus, please don't blame that on your Chi Kung pracice. -

"Breathing into an area below my navel" is the goal that one would like to attain for Chi Kung practice. It is also known as "氣沈丹田(Chi sunken to the LDT)" The Ultimate Method of Breathing(UMB). Keep that up, you'll be home free. -

Lower Dantien Heat and Pain, Please Help!
ChiDragon replied to Dharmakaya's topic in General Discussion
1. That is exactly what you don't want to do. Not ejaculate or masturbate too often, it will build up gases and pain in the LDT(abdomen) . 2. Masturbate two days in the roll is not recommended. Your body is not suitable for that. Especially, you have no Chi Kung experience. Since you are having pain in the LDT, I have been advising people to use two fingers to press right below the navel to get rid of the pain. Thus you should do the same. At the same time while your fingers are depressing that area, you should feel a pulsating sensation and uncomfortable pain which are normal. You just continue depressing the area below the navel until the pain is soften or gone. Then the gas should be released and you should be back to normal again. It works every time. btw It is better to lay down facing up to do the finger depression. PS.... Your description is very common to those who masturbate too often without any scientific knowledge or experiences. -
Yes, one can practice Tai Chi Chuan for years. However, as soon one wears a pair of boxing gloves, then he is nobody but a boxer. With the gloves on, one can only do a straight or hook punch. The only advantage is the Chi Kung breathing to maintain chi sunken to the dan tian to generate lots of jin for fajin. In addition, it is the Tai Ji kick on the chest to keep the opponent away. Another is a low side kick while the opponent is standing on one legs to get him off balance. If one who understand Tai Ji, one would know that all the techniques are with the hands for grabbing and holding. Indeed, with the boxing gloves, it deprives all the special hand skills of a Tai ji practitioner. The only thing one can do is to hold, not grab, the opponent's leg to throw him off balance.

How and why do babies lose belly breath ?
ChiDragon replied to CloudHands's topic in General Discussion
It is because their lungs are fully developed for breathing and can do away with the belly. -
If that is true, then why would all the Chinese fighters, in the videos, are only teenagers fighting against the most Thai boxers in their twenties....???
-
IMO The last fight was lost by exhaustion rather than any special skills. The Taiji practitioner has the advantage over the Thai boxer was the Chi Kung from Taiji practice which helped him to continue to generate his energy. Unfortunately, the Thai boxer had reached the lactate threshold and collapsed.
