#1 how important is long haid hear in sensing qi? I have many sensations when doing primordial gatherings on my body hair, today the first time on my chest. the other days hands, underams and shoulders. All where I have hair. It was like an electric sensation that made the molecules.. the 'air' around my body.. more tangible. Can qi be felt without body hair, on such external layers like the surface of the skin? A helpful article about the importance of hair Another helpful article specifically the Native American PoV #2 how important is muscle tone, muscle structure in sensing and lateron working with the flow of qi? Is a well exercised muscle structure of an individual doing yoga (or kungfu-like workouts) better suited for moving qi as of an individual never caring for any of the external form? We can leave body fat out of the context, since it is very hindering due to being a very poor conductor, no doubt. I am asking this question because I am yet about to discover how qi is directed through our muscles. I always was fascinated by the human muscular structure, so that is why.

Fallen Arches I consider to be the bane of all MA practitioners. Because it totally messes with your balances. Basicly with your entire skeletal posture. You might never really notice this in normal life, but once you practice any MA, like me Qigong and Tai Chi, you instantly notice how screwed you are. I position myself every day, in every stance I am, to lift the arches up and to re-align the rest of my posture. This takes quite some focus off of my practice, as you can imagine. The improvements seem miniscule, but I keep going. I then realized how my entire right foot, through out any section, up to the hip, the back-muscles, the spine, the ribs/chest is misaligned. All from around 15years of not correcting it when it was first noticed, living unconsciously. At some point it is really exciting what new muscles I rediscover or what tendons and muscles I "unlock". Like I have never felt them before. But there are also times where I see how much it affects, depression comes up a little. Especially when being in Embracing the Tree stance and I watch myself in the mirror and have to tuck my ex-duck-posture hip SO far in, that it looks perfect, but from the inside feels so so completely wrong. Same with my upper body, which is slouched back. Thanks to my yearlong hobby playing computer games. Thankfully this age is over and I dont even want to sit for more then 20minuntes during the day. Sitting on a normal chair gets uncomfortable. I see this as healthy improvement. What information do you have, to cure fallen arches?

Inlays do not correct the foot. It just gives comfort. You do not strenghten the foot musculature further. Here is a good video about techniques. Its in an austrian (german) accent, but it has great techniques. And yes, I do agree that with full awareness of how you actually move, this is no problem at all. We only see it as a problem or obstacle in the beginning, because we really never paid attention (and so the misalignment could develop). Over weeks now I have found many spots on my feet that I never used to actually touch the ground, while standing or walking. The fun part is to get an even balance. To get 50:50 gravity on both feet while standing. This truly trains both brain hemispheres even further. Thank you for your feedback! PS: You better walk barefoot for a while before running. It's quite torturing running barefoot at the beginning, with no thicker skin. My personal experience.

Cycles, living in cycles, consciously, is very new to me. While it holds great benefits at the same time I feel fear. Nontheless I want to go into it and understand it. What is the most efficient way to understand more about all our our cycles? Qigong and Tai Chi are a good way, I assume. I practice Primordial Qigong, that is a good start I know intuitively. It alone has awoken my interest in cycles, therefor I am certain. Is understanding the Bagua a good way of grasping our Nature?

An interesting read about parasitic entities in the human body (and energy field). Sapping energy off of you daily, regardless of your believe system. My question to you: Are you familiar with the thematic? As the Dayou zhang (Verse of Great Existence) says: “The five grains are chisels cutting life away, Making the five organs stink and shorten our spans. Once entered into our stomach, There’s no more chance to live quite long. To strive for complete avoidance of all death Keep your intestines free of excrement!” Also an interesting blog about this issue. Instantly certain parasitic fungi came to my mind that mindcontrol ants and let them build entire empires ontop of their entity. The ants nourish the mold with all kinds of living and decaying material they find, while the fungi excretes a stimulating substances that drug the ants. A very fantastic topic, imo, since we have so many parasitic thought patterns in our society. And therefor creating the worldly outcome like ticks (ixodida), mosquitos and all kinds of other leechs. Behind this physical creation is always an energetic, non-physical host that reaches forth from other, deeper dimensions. Taoists talked about "demon-worms" while they were very empathic, working with qi, they saw and felt the greater picture of what was beyond these small worms or insects.. To me, this is a must in cleansing my entire system, to work in alignment with very pure higher forces. 30 / 60 / 100 days (+30days ontop, as explained in the article) fasting to get all 3 Corpses and 9 Worms out of the Body, are You up for the challenge? This will be a tough one, since I am very aware of the addicting components in wheat products. For more information, check out the articles I came across. All the best and life-affirming blessings to you, that bring you closer to your ultimate realization of your True Nature.

Yes, it does cause damage when your intention is not pure. Create combat, receive combat. No combat? No combat. No damage caused. Or: You can create combat with the intention to not hurt, only to teach your opponent his actions. To reflect them back onto him, as teachings, of what he better does not want to do again. For his own health. Is this actually a known aspect of Fa Jin? Such as the cycle completes when a Master can heal all damage caused by his actions. I do not support violence but I can accept this form, as teaching. I surely know that I personally want to 'hear' my intention louder. Since it is very, very silent, barely noticable at the moment. Also.. it tends to scatter through out the day. Maybe 'this' is the Qi and it's 'program' (intention) I hold, reflecting me entire being. You can check your intention very clearly, when you go outside and listen to the wildlife, responding to you. Having a tough time, because I carry much load from my family environment with me. But it is getting much better now since I dedicated myself to learn this very efficiently. To perfection.

Thank you, great sensing skills. How many more are there possibly? Are there more getting created each moment or is there a fixed amount?

Alright, thank you both of you. Living a happy and fulfilling life, no one will come around consciously understanding and making use of cycles. Took me only 28years, but better now then never All the best to you!

I always find it interesting how individual wanting to harness Qi and use it to manipulate and dominate others, speaking of the combat applications. When you can truly sense and feel Qi, every cell in your body will get reprogrammed and learn in a positive, uplifting and life-affirming way that you can then once-and-for-all drop all your dualistic approaches to life that cause unnecessary harm. What do you want to master or even understand in it's outmost layers that hold the total opposite of your vibrations, when approaching it with such an attitude? You will intuitively understand that this is not going to work. This is stepping out of our kindergarten environment, our sandbox and getting into greater circles of Life itself. Elements that formed and continue to form your very being. But dont believe my words. Get there and you will see for yourself. We are not speaking about opinions here, things are how they are.

In what manner? Keep in mind that I did not make this thread if hair is good or bad, right or wrong. I made this thread purely with the intention to discover the Functionality of Hair. Form follows Function. We live in a world full of form, where function is next to nothing and wants to be rediscovered and properly utilized.

Very glad You brought this up! Now I can make conscious connections indeed. I have stopped shaving my genital area after a while I got relaxed with my girlfriend and she is totally okay with it, since she knows my hygiene is very pleasant to her vision of hygiene. My interest in masturbation and porn in general dropped rapidly in the previous months, since the 1x in 1-2weeks bedtime with her is totally fulfilling for the both of us. So like with many things you just do unconscious, lack the knowledge of connections, I can not say if cutting hair helps naturally stepping away/losing interest in said selfish sexual activities. Does it really? I know that saying and people tend to say this. But I figured out most likely those individuals dont have a vision on how long their hair should grow or fixating too harsh on wanting longer hair, that they energetically suffocate the natural flow to their hair. But I have not observed this enough to give a clear statement. Also: What if the lenght of your hair determines your spiritual capability? The most important factor for healthy and long hair are hormones. And hormones these days are a huge imbalance factor for the majority of modern people. Wonderful to hear. Respect has a great energetic importance to it. Happy discoverings and all the best to your hair growth! Pro-tip for growing thick hair and loads of it? Truly easy and you dont need any supplements. You just need to get into proper cycles. That means eating healthy organic food in moderation, exercise and meditation in moderation. Everything in moderation. The key factor is going to sleep when the sun goes down, waking up when it goes up. Generally from 9pm to 12pm your DNA gets repaired and enhanced. Between 12-1am to 3-4am your hormones get replenished. When was the last time you had a good morning wood when you woke up? That is a the perfect sign of a good load of nightly testosterone. And now you know why progress is so less these days, when people mostly watch TV all night and then cant barely get into regeneration phase due to their bodies need to digest food they ate too late -or- repair the huge amount of damage of living a totally unrespectful and imbalanced lifestyle. Growth happens when everything is stable. Healthy. Regenerated. Repairs need to be made, then the body can rejuvenate and then growth happens and cosmic Updates come naturally. Possible maybe for 1-2% of the entire human population, at the moment?

The Octahedron, Bagua. Is this Feng Shui? 5 elements, i ching and beyond?

Thank you Michael!

Another important aspect of hair I have come across: If you look carefully you will notice that head-shaving is a part of the Buddhist, Christian, Muslim, Jain and Hindu traditions. Buddhist and Christian generally undergo some form of head-shaving during their ordination. Bhramin children have their heads ritualistically shaved before beginning school. And Buddhists shave their heads around full moon, meanwhile let their hair grown. From my current experience, this has something to do with cycles. I am very new to cycles, so I can not speak about the greater picture here. Very new to doing daily cycles in all of what I do aswell. Primordial Qigong is teaching me. Shave your head and you stay childlike? While at the same time it uproots you? Like childs are? They are subject to all influences. Cutting the ambilical cord is their first un-rooting. The next thing is they grow hair. Rooting, rooting, rooting. Is it all about rooting and earth connection?

You're doing your body a great favor in not being sarcastic or cynical about anything what grows on it. Since we have already much to sort out in our unconscious. Cherishing and uplifting what belongs to your body helps a lot. Your hair is holy. Yes, the question with Buddhism also came to my mind. But then again, who is behind the Dalai Lama? The Dalai Lama is just the president, representing what is. Do really all buddhist, especially the priests, cut all their hair? Or do they wear similar hats to those of egyptian priests and Especially pharaos, who developed headgear (or actually had a larger backpart of their skull hiding underneath of such an appartus) that extended their being more upward. Just like the Burka, turkish females have to wear to completely undergo censureship of their entirety. This all is symbolism and we are yet about to discover how powerful symbolism is. And how we then will throw out all of our clothing, with symbols on the straight into the garbage. Because everyday we channel these energies into our being. And at the end of the day, our being consists of it. And if our entire body is the cosmos, then we give a certain aspect in the universe tremendous power by wearing these symbols, since this aspect (entity, collective) designed these symbols and brought them into the physical reality. To have a place of power here. This goes deep! Black races tend towards baldness? Not all of them. Those who hunt, are bald. The priests and the women Always have "dreadlocks". Yes, black people tended to go towards bald, male and female towards straight hair, when they were shipped overseas and had to undergo slavery. They were forced to fit in, to live a basic lifestyle, so they adapted the outside look of an average American of that day. Oh yes of course, there is written word I came across that said that one goes mad when being bald and esposed longer durations to the sun. Mad in this case, because he or she channels so much different aspects, the lower mind (which only can go mad) then is unable to properly process. I see no problem with being bald and perfectly rooted. Here we are in Buddhism again: What if they make their purpose so true, by shaving all their head, that they dont get distracted? Major practices IN Buddhism is to root yourself FULLY first and foremost! Everyday! And I know from Saddhu-hood, that initiates have to cut all their hair and then from the first day of practice are allowed to grow their hair. To channel the appropriate energies along their teachings. Yes, hair might be a helpful tool but it is in no shape or form replace any sort of practice. Taoist always had long hair and beard, right? PS: Speaking about females and their hair these days. Noticed how much chemicals they use? And how much heat? You can say that most women living a lifestyle heavily focused on the outside, with regular barber visits, have dead hair. PPS: Yet another very interesting article about Native Americans and the importance of long hair in spirituality.

I came across an article about sensing and long hair, from research back in Vietnam. Also you might want to read the comments down below in this article. Head hair makes much sense to me on the effect of external channellings. But why the beard? When we look back at egypts, they were completely bald. Especially the prophets. None of them had hair, what so ever. They were closely related to Sirius, the Sirians with their perfect, holy geometry. We have many cultures on the planet who never had facial hair, men. Just look at why so many males get a bald spot on their crown when aging. Why do monks have a tonsur, their crown spot bald? Or why in india wrapped and rolled up, knotted ontop of the crown? Similar to many popular asian ways of wearing hair, also for males, knotting them on the crown. Hairstyle is by far not something superficial. Did any of you males, growing body hair check out the flow of your stomach hair? I let mine fully grown and it connects from the sexual center up, from the upper chest down and spirals into the navel. Why ever wanting to cut this off? Anyway, so much for the hairy part of the question. What about muscle structure to better direct Qi? How much is too much/less?

Doing all of these movements feels like Everyone's Life Purpose. Everyone you ask, practicing Tai Chi or Qigong will tell you this, one way or the other.

#1 Is the earth itself we live on considered to be yin in total nature? #2 How can we understand Personal Energy? What is Personal Energy? The mishmash we have gathered as experience from a lower point of view, soul point of view? And: Is the Personal Energy always considered to be not very high in nature, does it always stay rather low or can it be raised higher and higher? Is the actual core principle of Qigong and Tai Chi to mix ones personal energy with the Earth and Higher Forces? Do we at some point of spiritual evolution dissolve totally with higher Forces? #2.1 is Generational Energy part of Personal Energy? Thank you.

oh the earth is 2D, 3D.. whatever D you can process. For us humans, at one point it turned 3D. And they wanted to hang the good man

You needed grounding. Root chakra issues.

Previous lives mean that there is a past. Past, present and future is one. So all happens at the same "time". So far the theory, but if you read it and try to "feel" it, your 3D mind should feel very uncomfortable. At least mine does @ChiDragon, we got all solved here by now. All good.

Yep and what if they do and you just watch and take notice? What if it is important for that individual to experience suicide? Sounds harsh from a mixed human-spirit perspecitve, I can feel you readers. But what if human life is respawn-heaven, for spirit? Again, sounds mad, but what if? Like in a game, you die, you're choosing your respawn point and *pouf* you are back human again, if you so desire. Surely matter is expendable for Creation itself. But that is not the point here, for every individual to experience a Holocaust itself as victim and starter. Yes, even contemplating about that fact would make individuals try out murder and go ape. That's why you really don't care to go any further at this point. Here I stop, because I just gave and would further give energy to this to come forth. So hereby I purposely erase all my previous thoughts that lead to that article. And here comes reason into play. For reason would be the main aspect what "we" as spirit, "teach" matter. Reason. To be reasonable. But what can we teach, if we arent reasonable ourselves? So many gaps in our daily doings. See how important it is to properly and fully reconnect to Source again? Not to any Astral entity, channelling yet another Adolf Hitler experiment, Source. Straight to our creator, experience life from that point and having full view. The point here is trying the leap from a smaller consciousness to a bigger one. When the smaller one, still involved in the ego, tries to assume the larger picture without actually being in it, but pretending to be. Just like I did. So I assumed assumed and assumed. Without even being in the house of the yelling father, maybe yelling at the computer screen, losing to a game, child noticing, getting yelled at too, but wasnt initially the target. And then the mirror theory of what is on the outside, just reflects whats on the inside. Which I am very much in alignment. Sort it out inside yourself and watch it disappear on the outside. But dont have judgement how it will disappear, but it will. We will all get this straight, no worries. All is well.

The term "time" here is a misconception. "Time" was not going slower or faster, for "time" does not exist. "Time" is a human invention and no other being in the entire Cosmos cares for "time" it is just an instrument for measuring, convenience. Nothing more, nothing less. That is why many people get literally frightened by their very first experience of having no sense of time anymore. This can happen in meditation, naturally or with hallucinogencs. What actually stood still for that moment? If you continue to use "time" you will have a very hard time (impossible) to actually understand what was going on. Clearly your perception of reality was altered. With all respect, I can neither recreate this event from the words you said with my imagination nor do I want it to, but I greatly respect it. If you want to understand it further, make an effort (ego practice) in not seeing it as special. Because when you do, it is a different vibration of what actually happened. So it is uncommon and what is uncommon is not you, therefor it will never happen again. I hope you can make sense out of this. This is the reason why we are mostly unable to recreate events, or even start successfully with any psychic ability: We see it as uncommon, special or even a rare occassion. And this "we" is our ego, our lower mind. Which is blown away by the effect. So it's in the opposing vibration of the creator of this event All the best.

What does your intelligence say about negative feelings? Are negative feelings considered to be Yin in nature? Negative feelings are not Yin. In terms of Yin and Yang, balancing forces. In order for Yang to exist, there must be a Yin. Isnt it a huge misconception to call Yin and Yang "Good and Bad"? We clearly have a detrimental state, we call negative emotions. That really give us the sign we want to move away from them, into a positive state. This positivity we then feel as a balance. But balance means Yin and Yang. And for yin and yang we have terms like positive and negative. What the heck is going on here with our language? Balancing forces, such as yin and yang have nothing to do with what we feel as negative and detrimental energy to our being, am I correct? Are we using the term negative incorrectly? Do we need to invent more broader terms for all of this? What are negative states in our being, that truly sap the life force out of us? What fundamentally are they? When I feel negative, my gut instinct tells me "move away from it" - is this basic soul language? Yes, feels good continue - No, move away from? And yes I am of course speaking of having a clear perception of what feels moderately good. And not jumping into excess rollercoaster-suger consumption and then crashing down.

But you clearly saw what you did there? When I am here and it affects me negative, I do care. Because I am here. And not imagine myself (due to memory) already in the future, where it then will feel good, because I have 'somehow survived' the negativity I now am in. Negativity is meant to move OUT of. It is a clear sign of where we DONT want to be. You feel your past negative always as positive, because the underlying principles of our being ARE positive. You did not actively transform your negative emotional states, your emotional memory just forgot the negative affect on your being. But it is a different positivity than our "positve and negative duality debate". Call it a greater positivity. Non-dual. Still it feels what we know as positive, good, pleasant. Please dont form yourself into a being we have terms like 'Borderline' for. Things are very simple. Nature does not concern itself for negative emotions. Negative emotions to mother earth is decay. Mother earth is our closest representation of "nature", the greater "outside nature". Or whatever, yes, there might be parts of our universe, which acts like a playground, really, which you can mess up and possibly blow up. But whats the point if we feel this playground as real and suffer in it. Okay, then blow it all up. Completely and lets move on with this shit. Lessons are learned When we have feelings that the negativity can eat us up, and our external universe reflects the inner, vice versa, would this mean that it really consumes itself. And that stuff goes wrong. So I personally sign out that we can conclude this land of great suffering once and for all. Feel free to join. Oh wait, you didnt hear that quote of Buddha saying "In order to transcend suffering you must accept suffering as it is?" - hmm, wonder why there is no such quote and Buddha always wanted the best for each and everyone. So please, suffer, because it is good for you? Or what? This is disgusting. Shut up and meditate, thank you Ask yourself why do you come out of each deeper meditation with wonderful POSITIVE feelings. They are not balanced in negative And positive way, no, they are clearly and very easily to experience Positive. PS: Ever wondered why you feel good when the sun shines, without you doing Anything? Ohh, again positive and LIFE-AFFIRMING emotions for free. Hm, why is that so? Because it is as it is. Life grows with positivity and decays with negativity. And you are? Life. Or do you know yourself as something different? Negative as Yin is NOT negative feelings. There is clearly a huge misconception. Detrimental has nothing to do with the Yin aspect. Yin Yang is not Good and Bad, such as positive feelings and negative feelings. Huge, huge misconception.
