Antares

ChiDragon, honestly I dont know what you are doing in this section of the forum. May be u need to go to sciencedao.com?

In my humble opinion these are postheaven fire and water - Li and Kan. They must be cultivated and purified. When they are full they can be reversed and thus transformed from postheaven quality into their preheaven state.

I believe it more depends on whether one's meridians are open and thus one can be grounded on the level of qi. Also "ground" is not physical in this context. Ground is Earth which is the central element in WuXing, so psychological state depends on the state of energy - whether all elements are balanced and how qi flows in meridians.

That's true. There is the building foundation stage in daoist practice. Ofc it is not possible to realize if one has not authentic method. Another issue people stumble upon is Hun and Po balance in the practice and daily life even if one has got an authentic method of cultivation. If one works on Ming mostly the Po will be strengthened and there is a chance to fall into desires and lust and that is where most people balk at in their progress... If one works on Xing mostly there could be another sort of problems. Both issues relate to Hun and Po balance. Dual cultivation of Xing and Mng is the best solution. The more balance one has the more chance to control desires but it is not easy task anyway. I am not talking about methods people get from the books or any sort of videos which are not authentic in most cases. The problem becomes insoluble in such a case

I just say this is misconception. Did u get it from that book? I am sorry then

WHAT?

there is no LDT i am afraid but there is specific channel that book author confused things

at the moment no lust or desire for i live in remote area almost in the forest need to check it when go socializing but the more i practice the more i realize what is what and i like internal ecstasy wasting it is just like giving out the water u really need to drink no masturbation, no porn ofc

First of all concentration on the physical body may cause channels blockages Secondly it may cause false fire rising Thirdly it may cause deviations - lust, desire and so on...

No I got issues. But i did that before he suggested. I had solid background in it

Interesting picture

so is it ur experience that LDT is just above the anus?

I know a person who teaches others to concentrate on "third eye" area and this should set off downward kundalini flow, then it activates upward kundalini... then they meet and do the work. It is "integral yoga". He said he taught 3 other people and they got enlightenment.

Well for some people it might work. But for 90 % of others it might cause issues

Oh I used to read his books years ago finding it interesting... Then I realized it is not for me. Then I realized this is westernized neidan. I have pdf's. Opened coz somebody asked my opinion on his methods and I had to re- read it to show that person problem with that approach
