  1. I have been hearing that lot of newcomers that they have practicing or practiced Neidan. It just dawned on me with curiosity. How people do their practice or what they think that is? I would to hear their comments before I introduce the original Taoist method of Neidan. I mean in the Chinese version with the help of AI. I have been using Gemini AI which gives me a very good explanation in the Chinese language. However, one may tell it in any way just for the purpose of comparison only. Thanks!
  2. Hello

    Hello, welcome! Please don't just come and go. Hope you will stay longer.
  3. DDJ Ch. 70-81 a later addition?

    No, I don't think that is true. Wang Bi doesn't has the wisdom as Laotze.
  4. Longevity

    Yes, moments performing with slow motion while breathing deep into the LDT. That is Qigong. One might call it something else, but it was still Qigong. Whether you like it or not. All will benefit from it into the journey of longevity. Thanks!
  5. Western Origins of Yijing?

    Oh, I wish this OP was not initiated. It is just a waste of time talking about it.
  6. I hope I'll never find that out. 🤣 I wish you luck with success in your endless discovery. 🙏
  7. Longevity

    Yes, breathing is Qigong and it is what longevity is all about. People should get wise about it by now!

    How many times have I mentioned about mitochondria when I talked about Qigong? Now someone like @zerostao is really paid a lot attention to it.
  9. I was really hesitated to answer your questions. It is because there is no such thing as qi energy that someone can feel it. Not the first time nor the last. If someone told one did, one didn't feel it. If you want to feel the energy in you, that is after your diligent practice of any Qigong method if done properly. You will feel that your body energy has been increased tremendously. That is the real energy that you are really after. I respect your effort of what you are trying to do here. However, please don't try to catch the shadow of the wind here. Peace!
  10. Greetings from a Seeker of Tibetan Buddhist Traditions

    对不起,这个纲不是一个商业买实的地方!
  11. You want to Chinese origin.... I give it to you.
  12. Well, I'm glad that you are impressed. However, that is not what I want to hear from you. I thought you might ask how did you condition yourself to get to this point? I can tell you right now. You may looking for answer about Qigong. It is because people are telling you the same old thing. Like in the past and this thread. BTW There is one thing that was never mentioned to you. Hence, that is why you are standing at where you are now. I am where I am right now is not from coincidence. I had learned how to practice Qigong from the Chinese literature that had never told in the west. Even if it did, the westerners did not want to hear it. Unfortunately, they like to tell it the way they wanted to as people love to hear it and pay for it. I think that is why you are here asking all these questions and gone nowhere.
  13. Perhaps this might paint the full picture from the Qigong practice in the above post. One might feel the chi in the body and continuously releasing the body energy for 6 minutes without exhaustion.
  14. Perhaps you are looking for something like this!
  15. I still don't see the true definition of Qigong came out the discussion. One major criteria is just missing to be considered as Qigong! PS The line of questioning will not give you the answer that you want know, but only repeating what you heard before. It is only lead you back to day one.
  16. Even though you said you focus more on your LDT. It seems to me that you are more focus on your MDT unconsciously. Thus that's why you have such feeling.
  17. What does 元亨利贞 really mean?

    I will not argue about this with your preconceived idea. So, peace!
  18. What does 元亨利贞 really mean?

    Okay, now we have 8 trigrams to symbolize the phenomena that was observed from nature. However, there was no written language in the ancient past. Therefore, only symbols were used as images to express some simple ideas. In our case, people saw water running down from top of the mountain. So, the water trigram was placed on top of the mountain trigram. Along the running water, it destroyed everything in its path. People see danger in water, hereinafter, people will be fear of water is dangerous. The hexagram also suggests that going the mountains is dangerous. When it was used in divination, the first thing they see is danger ahead.
  19. What does 元亨利贞 really mean?

    That is the positive side of the event. What about the negative side of it?
  20. What does 元亨利贞 really mean?

    Please read the question carefully. This is a pure study of the hexagram before the application of divination. The first step is to understand the fundamental concept of some basic hexagrams. Please keep in mind that the invention of Yijing was not intended for the purpose of divination.
  21. What does 元亨利贞 really mean?

    What happens during the running path of the water along the hills. What happens to the people who are living on the hills?
  22. What does 元亨利贞 really mean?

    Good try! Please keep in mind that water is on top of the mountain. Water can only run down from the mountain top. What happen after that?
  23. What does 元亨利贞 really mean?

    Very good. If I stack 坎 on top of 艮 to make a hexagram, it will make an image with water on top of the mountain. How would you interpret this hexagram? What is it telling or suggesting us?
  24. Welcome! I see why you are seeking for answer of what Qigong is all about. It seems there are lot of information out there but not to your satisfaction. IMMHO It is because there is no real answer that can help you to understand what is Qigong. There is only one definition in the Chinese language. However, the true definition of Qigong was never went across the western world. The reason was that Qi was mistranslated as energy. People take off and make up their own story about Qigong. That was why they got nowhere even after many years of practice. If you want to learn Qigong, you must disregard all the things that you'd heard from the west and stick to the real Chinese definition of Qigong. I have not seen that the true definition of Qigong was translated into the west. When I read some explanations about Qigong online, I just bite my tongue and swallow it.
  25. What does 元亨利贞 really mean?

    Anyone know what are the 8 symbols of the trigrams represent with a good explanation?
