  1. Zhan Zhuang is Not for Beginners

    How do you know this? Have you been living for 300 years? The word Kung Fu means just mastery or art. They teach ZZ before anything else in SOME of the contemporary wushu styles like Yiquan but even in yiquan they begin from Wuji stance. People who read yiquan books, do not pay attention to this fact, they just skip it and go straight to ZZ stance thinking they are advanced practitioners
  2. Zhan Zhuang is Not for Beginners

    From dynamic exercises to activate meridians. The problem with ZZ (tree stance) is if your channels are not worked out properly, qi can go up in front channel instead of going on the back. So I agree this practice is not for beginners.
  3. Jing and Qi replenishment occurs automatically at the initial stage if you do your practice correctly while working on Ming. Good to begin from Wuji stance before you move. As for GE your teacher should explain it to you. What neigong system you practice btw?
  4. Is It Over? The Dao Bums Fall

    Do you have your own system? Anyway I believe your system is better than MoPai
  5. Is It Over? The Dao Bums Fall

    If you mean that Golden Era was when people were arguing which system is better... but this Era is not finished yet
  6. The gypsies relieved me of a considerable amount of money by giving me a false fortune-telling. But it's good that they were very courteous to me, it's nice to deal with such people
  7. No, you don't have to build a Dantian

    That is why
  8. No, you don't have to build a Dantian

    This would be post-heaven "dantian" In theory Wuji can do it but practically it is unlikely. May be on advanced level it can work this way. Wuji posture activates one the 8 extra-ordinary channels and later can do more but it is very static meditation which qigong people talk about a lot but dont know what to do next after it
  9. Alchemy, is it real ??

    Yes, it illustrates the path of leakage. But as Buddha said Hm, I have never thought this way but now the idea came to mind that in fact is to stop the leakage
  10. Alchemy, is it real ??

    The "above" is referring to the Building Foundation stage at which LDT is built.
  11. No, you don't have to build a Dantian

    Why do you think there is Building The Foundation stage in Neidan? It is not DM' idea. No foundation implies no ldt. Ordinary people never have had LDT but what they had is fullness of Ming at the age of 16 (men) and 14 (woman). This fullness does not imply LDT existence. Because it is not only Ming part is necessary for building LDT. Certain states of the heart - mind (Xin) and Innate Nature (Xing) are required for that as well. All that implies certain specific methods of cultivation. People have too much negative qi which corrupts Xin - Xing states and thus people do not have good enough conditions for LDT presence within themselves. What can be activated is 8 extra-ordinary and 12 "medicine" channels which are blocked
  12. Alchemy, is it real ??

    At the moment I have found this one This is exсerpt from "hui-ming ching" in translation by Eva Wong. So if you say this is smth that exists only on physical level it must have form and shape
  13. Alchemy, is it real ??

    There is yangshengong for longevity. Neidan goal is different Does LDT exist only on physical level inside the abdomen? What about some Daoist texts where Daoist teachers wrote that there is smth that is "no inside nor outside"?
  14. Alchemy, is it real ??

    Yes, this is the most difficult part of the entire alchemical process - one must hold the virtuous lifestyle preventing the leakages. And of course,
  15. Alchemy, is it real ??

    Do you practice it? How do you understand it? How to produce the pill?
  16. Alchemy, is it real ??

    Well, only if these people can explain what is the pill in both traditions then it makes sense, otherwise it is just idle talking
  17. Alchemy, is it real ??

    But we are in "Daosit discussion" section of TDB. Not sure if you are aware of it. So, if I am wrong then just try to point out where exatly, and which part of you dying at which stage of real Alchemy. I have some experience of this sort but it was some Ego produced feeling of "dying" and I think it was some entity leaving my energy field. In such a case they can produce fear that this you who is dying and losing control.
  18. Alchemy, is it real ??

    Yeah, it is like here the guy has ingested the bottle of Elixir and now ready to flow
  19. The documents that approve the fact that Taiji was invented by ZSF were found. Please watch this: And as one of the commentator states there: Also there is Sanfeng Pai school in Wudang and I don't think they just made up the history of the school. Also there are some records that ZSF trained in Shaolin where he learned something there. So I agree with the statement that "Wudang and Shaolin are basically sinks, where all the martial arts from around china flow into and come by teaching of wandering taoists or monks back out again into the people."
  20. Alchemy, is it real ??

    A few days I spoke to a man who thinks he does neidan and he stated the same westernized BS that Dao accepts and includes everything and thus the shit and pill of immortality ARE THE SAME bcoz Dao does not judge and deny anything and one needs just to flow with everything, and this would be Wu-Wei. This is state and one needs to do a lot of work before can reach it. Doing precedes non doing.
