Thanks Mal! Some cool looking Kundalini exercises. I'll definitely be trying these out.

Harmonious Emptiness, do you know if the slapping has the same effect as the Taoist 'beating sticks' I've seen used where they physically slap various parts of the torso to move chi into the bones? I've always been curious about that method.

Hey Friend, can you recommend any good healers on the East Coast? I'm located in DC. I don't think any healer can really get to the root of the problem without being physically present with the patient.

Hey Mal, thanks for the advice. Can you tell me exactly what KAP 2 is or point me to a web link where I can read more about it? I'm not familiar with that.

Weird little bit of synchronicity here K - I went to my Muay Thai boxing class today and we actually spent the first 15 minutes shaking. I couldn't believe it, I've been going for about 6 months and the instructors have never had us do anything remotely like that before, but today sure enough he led us in an exercise that was identical to the videos posted above. I mean he didn't call it shaking, he said we were getting loosened up for the class, but that's what it was. I actually loved it. I feel much more energized and loose after. I get what you're saying about the Kundalini as I do have a bit running up my back and neck now but it's pretty mild and feels great. I had a massive kundalini experience in high school after some recreational drug use that was way too much for me at the time but this is more controlled and easy going. I'm going to definitely integrate shaking into my weekly routine. Thanks again for the advice!

Wow, I guess the general consensus is shaking. Honestly I have never even read/studied anything about this, but those videos make it seem pretty convincing. And if more than half the responses I've gotten involve that then there must be something to it. K, that video with the Polar Bear is pretty mind blowing. My general attitude is that nature's instinct is usually correct and that it's our ego that stops the correct flow of energy. The fact that bears in captivity don't perform the same process reinforces his theory. Jeremiah, as for the healer - I'd love to come into personal contact with a real taoist healer I'm just unsure where I can located one in my vicinity. I've been to several Reiki practicioners and while it did help temporarily, my MCO meditation cleared more powerfully than the session. Gonna try the shaking.......thanks for the input!

Hey there, I was wondering if anyone has experience using excess Jing to heal sick areas of the body or clear out blocks in meridians? I recently posted about sick energy in my lower back and have had success by abstaining from any activity and allowing the excess jing to 'push' the bad energy further along my MCO and eventually out my arms. After I was finally able to get it moving it actually lodged in upper back area for about a week and until I was able to move it out of my arms and crown by doing extensive cardio and hatha yoga stretching. My concern is that the lack of any sexual activity isn't healthy (no sex, masturbation, sexual chi gung). I've even been able to stop nocturnal emissions which has made all the difference. I've been doing this 6 weeks and it seems to be working better than anything I've tried over the past few years. Should I wait until the sick areas are completely healed before I resume activity? It's working so that is what my body is telling me but I'd like to get other opinions. PS - I should mention that I've also getting acupuncture and doing about 2 hours of MCO daily. Thanks!

Are you sleeping on your stomach? I was having the same problem up until about 6 weeks ago before I switched to my side. I was having a few a week on my stomach and tried everything but couldn't stop them. Since I switched to my side I've only had 2 over the past 6 weeks, it was as simple as that. Just a suggestion if you are......

OK, just learned how to multi-quote - Anyway, thanks for the reference. I'll research that Spring Forest link you sent for sure. You know, you're the second person that has recommended Clarity to me. I should make contact. Thanks

You know, that's really funny - I literally just started to incorporate visualizing green light when doing my daily chi-gung before I read your reply. From what I understand green energy is great for decongesting stagnate areas. It seems to be working very well actually! Definitely strengthens the dissolving process.

Thanks for those links Snowmonki, I didn't realize that there was already so much info on what I am experiencing this board already. It seems like there are some divergent viewpoints on whether or not it's ethical to 'ground' sick energy into the Earth or transmute it 'good chi'. For me working on myself, the only method that I know is to ground the energy into the Earth or push it out other gates (fingers, head, etc..). It seems like it would take years or decades of practice to be able to transmute. With that being said, I did make contact with Yamu and I will be purchasing his book on the subject and possibly be participating in some distance healing with one of his students as his schedule is too full.

Snowmonki - I can tell by the words you use to describe your experience "black oozy sick" that it's most likely similar to what I've experienced for a while. I would use those words but I'd also add 'death' or 'cancer' to describe what it feels like. It definitely has a physical element to it - when the acupuncture needles go into it my acupuncturist usually makes a gasp at how my skin/body reacts. The thing is when I see a western doctor or massage therapist they can never find anything. The block has an origin at a very deep level - I know that it's from trauma that I experienced when I was younger. I have worked through the trauma on a mental level but it still exists in my energy body. The good news is that I am making progress. I usually do around 2 hours of deep breathing combined with microcosmic orbit meditation each day - currently after about an hour I can reach the affected area and begin to 'breath into' it. When this occurs I get a taste in my mouth that is best described as 'metallic' but it also kind of reminds me of the smell of a dead animal. When this occurs I know I'm making progress - I feel the sick energy run down my leg out my foot and come out the top of my head - the same right kidney meridian that my acupuncturist uses. This isn't a pleasant process and I go for as long as I can stand, usually about an hour. It feels like lava moving through my meridians. After the meditation is over I feel great. Everything I'm doing helps: chi-gung, acupuncture, running, Chi Nei Tsang massage (as the corresponding area in my stomach is also effected), diet, herbs. I will conquer it, it's just a matter of time. I'm hoping sooner rather than later. I appreciate all the comments on this! Snowmonki thanks for sharing, it's unfortunate that you experience it but it lets me know I'm not alone. I will hit up Yamu.

Thanks for the advice! Steam - I see you've recommended some Energy Arts Tai Chi methods. I actually first got into Chi-Gung studying Frantzis' water dissolving methods but never tried any of the moving forms. Perhaps I should. mwx - Physically I'm actually in pretty solid shape. I usually run about 5 miles/day and after that the pain usually subsides for a bit but it returns after non-activity. The origin seems to be on a bit deeper level than the physical.

Thanks for the advice OldGreen. Wow, 3 hours - I'll give it a shot

Anyone have experience removing sick/cold energy from the body using Chi-Gung? I have a nasty block in my lower right around my sacrum that I'm finally starting to notice some progress on after months of microcosmic orbit meditation. I also just started getting acupuncture on the area and that seems to be helping as well. The issue I'm having is that once I move chi into the area the sick energy begins to dissipate and run down my leg and out my foot (good) but it also moves up along my spine and into my upper back (bad). After an intense session my whole upper back is stiff, sometimes for a couple days. I can eventually feel it move out of the top of my head and my temples, but it can take a little while. Does anyone have any experience with this? The block is pretty nasty - I've had it for close to 10 years and it actually feels like it could be in my bone. I'm making progress but I'm wondering if there are any better techniques. Thanks!
