Any qigong system done in excess can harm, because "the practitioner" does not know when to stop, or what are the effects. Usually the effects appear after several weeks, months or years. That is why "the practitioner" needs a supervisor. If you don't have a supervisor, you supervise yourself but you need to learn traditional chinese medicine, how to maintain the balance of the five energies, what are your particular imbalances inherited genetically or astrologically or educationally or culturally or whatever, and so on. It is a lot to learn, and there is allways something to repair, to heal, to maintain, to loose, to let go, to regain, and so on, it is a lifetime experience. The main principles is to keep healthy and maintain the balance of the life. And don't worry about "the correct" taiji practice, there are so many styles and variations inside a style, that everyone claims he is doing "the right taichi" and everyone else is doing "the wrong taichi". It is just like "my God is better than yours", "my baby is cuter than yours", "my kung fu is better than yours" etc. Qi is electricity. is electro-magnetism, is gravitation... learn physics, chemistry and biology if you want to know "why". You are right, but the domain is very vast and complex and no-one can guarantee you that this or that is right for you. The guru is in yourself

Thank you markern for your compassion, but I forgot to mention, I am too more happier than ever with my practice and my self healing. _/\_

I was like you, until i found that after many years of movement exercises still I had no results and then I met my teacher who was tough like metal. I asked his secret and he told me "standing like a tree and meditation". I tried it and he was right, these two practices added to moving exercises doubles if not triples your energy and power. You imitate a tree but it is not easy, it would be if you'd be a tree, a human imitating an animal is easy, but an animal imitating a tree is very hard, and during this practice you DO A LOT OF THINGS. You just discover things inside yourself that were hidden before. You have to experience by yourself, no book or sacred text can describe it, it would be good to leave the preconceptions aside.

I also suffer of Gilbert syndrome, which is a genetic inherited illness of the liver that has no cure and which leads to chronic fatigue. And I think that's why I began martial arts and qigong training from my teen age. But I don't think is worse than you, I may say I am blessed that I found taoism and traditional chinese medicine because of that.

keep it simple especially if you're broke

I don't know exactly if the phenomena should be in that order, you are right they differ from person to person, but what you describe looks like the process shown in the movie "Spiritual reality" (you can access it through the link in my signature) in min. 16:30 or 25:50 or 32:33, although I believe you are in a more advanced stage of opening. I see the phosphenes but not the beam of light that come from above which is the link to God for all the beings. My friend says he can see that beam of light that go above into the infinity. If you see only the phosphenes this is a beginner stage, but if you see the beam of light that go above into the infinity, this is a very advanced stage, even the alchemical texts say that "seeing the white snow" is quite advanced (maybe not literally but so I interpret). Seeing the colors correspond to the chakras openings or so he told me, later he saw the color of organs which are etheric energy more dense than astral. Chakras are seen first because they correspond to astral energy and the eye opened first sees the astral. In advanced stages the eye sees the etheric, which by the way very few can see.

You see electricity from lower dantiens that stimulates the optical nerves, producing "phosphenes" in the visual field. This is a very good sign that someday you will open the third eye if you continue what you are doing. Later in the cultivation path the tiny little stars will converge into a central luminous dot which the taoists call "the pearl". By the way this first stage in the meditation is called "the white snow" in Wuzhen Pian or other alchemical texts. Later "the pearl" will become larger like a "full moon" and will be very strong during full moon and will vane during new moon. Ultimately the "moon" will be so luminous that it will became like a "sun" and you will experience something similar like Drew Hempel says : a pure white light. This is the Clear White Light of the buddhists. Until you achieve the clear white light you may or may not have many other confirmatory experiences of third eye opening, you may see colors or images of vivid realities. I don't have it open but I reached the "moon" stage last year. My friend have the third eye open and he described to me the whole process, and yes the tiny little stars is the first stage of the opening. And still, the opening is a continuous process, once opened many other "openings" may arise. Also ceasing the meditation practice may pull you down the path, right now I don't even see the tiny stars... I need to do again the whole process... PS. Mantak chia calls this experience "the cristal chamber" is like a chamber in the head full of cristals is lighted by a tiny ray of light that is reflected in the cristals. when the ray of light will become stronger the "cristal chamber" becomes like daylight.

Taiji soaks with qi the tendons Bagua squeeze the qi out of tendons Both are great and should be practiced symbiotically

I have no idea what they say, maybe someone will translate from chinese to english, but it is interesting about the lotus pose meditation:

Thank you Taomeow, I share the same thoughts as you regarding the humanity genesis but I had this only question about the gold, and now with the occasion of the ormus thread was clarified. What if they use the gold to obtain the "unobtanium" the ununpentium/element 115, which allegedly is the fuel of UFOs that creates the anti-gravity field? Anyhow with any answer, ten other questions arise, maybe this discussion deserves another thread. I don't believe the Annunaki is only one single race, maybe the Annunakis were the race that created the sumeriens, or were the race that controlled the sumeriens, which were the inheritors of atlanteans. But how about the other cradles of civilization on all the other continents? I believe during human history many "races from the stars" came to earth and intervened in different periods of time in certain areas of influence in the human genome experiment. Maybe THEY were disputing the control over the planet like the earthly humans themselves did in the colonial wars between english and french or spanish and portugueses. I dunno, maybe this territorial dispute is even today between several human races and reptilian races, maybe even today the greys which are neither humans nor reptilians make experiments with the human genome .... I suspect the situation is much more complex, in every race are good guys and bad guys with different interests. Like they say in "exopolitics" some races have the mentality of "service to self" others "service to others", maybe inside a race the individuals are divided in these two mentalities... maybe all of them want to "serve us" .... as breakfast, lunch and dinner... I dunno

Please, someone explain to me, what are Annunaki? Reptilians or humans? Did they created human race or they just found humans on the Earth and exploited us? What's the story? And what they do with the gold? Thanks

Don't worry, it's the effect of serotonine created in the guts entering the blood. It gives you the "sensation" of tiredness. Take a nap like after a good meal and you'll be fine.

1) Be impeccable with your word, speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love. 2) Don't take anything personally. Nothing others do is because of you. What others do and say is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others you won't be the victim of needless suffering. 3) Don't make ASSUMPTIONS. Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstanding, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement you can completely transform your life. 4) Always do your BEST. Your best is going to change from moment to moment, it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance simply do your best, and you will avoid self judgment, self abuse and regret.

I like him too but I don't buy him I think this^ worth be explored. I saw many times elder asians walking backwards, sometimes very fast, sometimes very slow. It is one of the "flowing backward" or "counter-flow" methods. I should try it someday, maybe doing Taichi or Bagua backwards. Some many years ago I learned Taichi the right-hand usual way, then I tried to unlearn it and learn the whole form left-hand. Same with the sword, just by curiosity to see how the body/mind reacts. I was like a baby learning again to move from scratch.

I hate cold water. And I am a big white guy with east european genes. And I looooove finnish spas

It is not in the frontal cortex, that is an illusion of our mind/brain. Everything you see in the face front of your eyes is a projection on the visual cortex which is located at the back of the head. Actually that techique with a piece of white cloth creates the space - the screen in your mind to receive the movie projected from outside or inside.

what Scotty said ^ It is pure NLP, he is not motivating you, he just convinces you to give him your money

I did a similar experiment a couple of years ago. I wanted to have my own dark chamber so I bought very dark window shades that does not allow to pass the sunlight. I did with a cigarette a small round hole in the drapes just at the level of my eyes when standing in front of the window. So after wake up in the morning I stood in zhan zhuang in the darkness staring at the little lighted hole for one hour (between 8 and 9 a.m.) After that I was so tired that I had to go to sleep again and I had a short nap of about 30 min. During that nap I had a very interesting experience, firstly I had a sleep paralisys then I experienced a "third eye opening". I was totally awake and in the same time I knew I am paralized and no muscle I could control, including my eyelids. Then I saw an "opening" in my visual field which lasted very shortly maybe 3 seconds, while all my sensory inputs were tenfold like the noise hearing was very amplified, then I lost my consciousness and felt asleep. So I believe the third eye opening requires very big amounts of psychic energy stored "shen" and requires a very strenuous training. My good friend opened his third eye after seven years of one hour meditation every night at midnight, but I firmly believe he had some born talent maybe inherited from a previous life.

I think is not an accupuncture meridian point, it is a very good massage point, with the location just above GB30 , lower than GB25 and lower than the iliac crest http://www.acuxo.com...=Gall%20Bladder Actually if you learn salsa or tango, the right hand will always be on the spot during dancing (between ming men, GB 25 and the massage spot) abd if you learn thai yoga massage there it is:

The mind works holographic using all the neural network that is available. The logic of the brain is not Boolean (0 or 1 - false or true) but it uses the fuzzy logic, makes decisions using clouds of probabilities in every instant and uses the whole information at a time. Just that this whole process is subconscious, and is filtered only some parts being conscious. Meditation just add into the conscious part of the mind some parts of the unconscious processes - but not all of them.
