Illness is often a messenger for other illnesses.

As far as Chinese is concerned, high level cultivators, big religious figures, scholars, Chinese medicine doctors, qigong teachers, kung fu masters, even ZhengYi Taoist who do ceremonies and rituals, usually don't have the power, skill, knowledge and exposure to counter black magics. With luck they could solve some problems but not all, and not fully. Energy alone is not useful in many circumstances. Find the right person by trial and error perhaps. Another reason is the physical component. For example, in south west China and south east Asia, there is a kind of magic called Tame Head or Gong Tau. They have all the black magic stuff as in other parts of the world. But since these areas are tropical jungle and inhabitants are not primitive tribes, their in depth knowledge in plants, insects, animals and how these interact, are not surpassed and remain largely unknown. When these biological/physical components are applied in conjunction with normal black magic, it is unstoppable. In the old days, many Hong Kong men went to south east Asia, they frequently involved with local women. Normally it was just transaction and fake love. However sometimes both sides went deep and developed some genuine feelings in addition to attraction of money and outward appearance. Some women wanted to keep the men forever and used Gong Tau, with the help of magicians. The men was told they can go back to HK but had to return within one or 2 years, or cannot leave the country at all. If not, they would face horrible death. Sometimes the men, realizing their situation, would ask for help from HK's own Gong Tau Sifu or other Taoist sects priests to help. And there came the international magical war. There was a founder of most famous TV station in Chinese community in the world and he also being descendant of a powerful family in Singapore and HK, who said to have encountered this kind of unfortunate incident. He went back and developed sicknesses, both western and Chinese doctors could not do anything. During his autopsy, bugs were found climbing out from his body. Another version his body was full of Amoeba like organisms. It was almost a romantic tragedy, because some Gong Tau would exact a price on the requestor when attack is serious, it means both will die. If this was true, then the magic was potent because they have physical characteristics in addition to curses, deities help or symbolic magic. The victim is geo located - cannot leave a certain region taking into account the temperature and humidity. It also contains a timer, the disease would not blow up within a specified dormant period. Sometimes a grace period is allowed by ingesting additional substances, that means a suppressant or stimulating the immunity system temporarily. The lesson from then on would be never have feelings when visiting these countries for intimate company or pleasure, never visit the same establishment again and never the same woman, pay fully, beware of spiked drinks and food. Nowadays it is not heard of any more. Back to the Kurdistan situation, I think severing the delivery mechanism could help i.e. burn everything that taken out from Kurdistan, or sell them. If it is important, cleanse it with holy water or salt water, bring to churches, put it under the sun, buried in the ground or whatever popular in your countries. If it had been serious, cutting the hair or shaving the head might even help. Just in case there are some physical components embedded somewhere.

Dan Tian means a field which is for growing/building of elixir. A paddy field is used to grow rice. A vine field is for growing grapes. A construction site is for building a house. The meaning is on the "Site". It is not for storage of Chi, there are many words for storage, not need to use a "field". It is not an oil well, otherwise it would be called Dan Spring, Dan Well. The idea to build a Dantian is even more problematic when many Neidan and martial arts lineages place little importance on it. e.g. some schools' Dantian is at the back, outside of the body, near to the body, above the head etc. How to "build" in these locations? While many Kung Fu that stress mobility, agility, do not "sink Chi to Dantian" as it impair moving and particularly jumping ability.

Sorry, I mean would practising dark arts endanger the person from other humans like religious fanatics, especially Iraq and Yemen ?

Nuralshamal is multi racial. Does practice black magic in these countries bring great risks?

If eastern alchemy worked, there would not have been eastern internal alchemy.

What is the common geographical term for England, Scotland and Ireland together?

I do Swimming Dragon a bit. I used to find a video that says it solved a huge problem, but can't locate it. Nowadays I am a bit worried that the knees could face problem in side way motion. So just don't do it too much.

Black Magic: Peculiar things do exist. For normal people, it is better to follow the Confucian attitude - respect the ghosts and gods but keep a long distance. A Taiwan mystic has encountered a statue fallen from an abandoned temple. She set it up again but found something try to attach to her. Then she was angry and kicked it down slope. So even with "proper" religious setting, one should be careful. Karmic Debts: While other problems can be solved by ZhengYi magicians, Karmic Debt cannot. It could be an excuse when the Taoist cannot do anything. The normal solution is cultivation, following a proper Taoist/Buddhist religion, good deeds, good diet etc. Burning joss papers said to help too if it is not so serious. Local spirit kings: In Chinese community, every home or grave used to have a Shen of the Door, which is a red wood plate which says the dragon kings of 5 directions, Lords of the location, God of fortune. We could offer incenses and wine once a year, or even daily. It is mainly to avoid evil spirits coming in. They mainly act as a protection service. Conceal Blessings: It used to be common in Chinese traditions. You downplay everything, down dress. Spirits follow home: Going to casinos would said to dampen your 3 fires of powers. Going to hospitals/funerals would also be a problem. It is better to go to some noisy places, have food with others, get some sunshine, before directly go home. In short, similar to spy stuff.

Really? the English/Scottish/Irish got their Druids, pagans, witches and wicca. Nowadays they even have Harry Potter.

These inner martial arts seem to be flowing into Wudang instead of coming out from it. Taichi probably is the better example. Yet Wudang does have its own secretly guarded IMA like the Tai Yuet 5 Elements Boxing and another one the name I forgot. These were either developed or preserved by Wudang and have a deeper connection with Neidan than the Yang Taichi, which can be treated a form of Neigong/Qigong under some situations, but not Neidan. Whether these are related to ZSF is not known as he never mentioned anything about boxing.

I engaged their services e.g. like burning Joss papers to repay my cosmic debts, if any. Mantra not needed, but smoke is a problem.

Indeed. Scare them from doing wrong and do not come easily. It is just the MaoShan way is more potent than normal guideline type of warnings. The initiates are expected to have a serious oath and pick the "costs/requirements" from different bowls, under the witness of the grand master (a god or spirit). The oath is using the same magical mechanism and to be endorsed by the very deities they got the power from in the future. Therefore when one uses magic, it immediately trigger this embedded process. An example is paying taxi fare. Once you state the destination, the meter starts to count, even when it is stopped and not in motion. There is a saying that if the magician cannot pay, his family's fortune will be drawn to offset for him. This type of system is more than guidelines. Presume Jason Read has to go through this too. The above applies generally and when a magician does something more sinister, there will be additional costs. This is a bit harsh. Let say if I am mainly casting spell to repel mosquitos, the costs could be quite high.

Nowadays some Wudang schools say ZSF not only created TaiChi but also probably created XinYi and Bagua. So one can go to the many schools and learn Wudang Taichi, Wudang XinYi and Wudang Bagua.

You guys certain have experiences in a lot of traditions. However is there any costs in following such paths? e.g. MaoShan and related lineages have a rule. Whoever followed the path needs to choose one from the several : disabilities, loneliness, short lifespan, poverty. There are differences between sects, but roughly are these.
