  1. Balance in taoist practices

    I want to speak about different kind of balancing. I am practicing about 2 years each day for 2 - 4 hours a day and find out that achieving Qi energy is not difficult, real problem is to handle it. First problem almost all beginners faced, is too much energy. Usually you feel enormous sexual attraction and just burn out all your Qi that you gathered for many days of meditation. Sometimes it gets worse and you feel like superman starting eat ice cream in cold weather and ignore warm cloth. In other cases you could be rude with people because all your unconscious ambitions get enough energy. Good thing that if you have master, he will point you on this situation and you could overcome this by concentration on Xing more than on Ming. But in some less form this situation could appear again and again and it could become a cycles. You have little energy and you behave more calm, when you accumulate more energy you become more careless and could be ill soon. Then you again become more wise and calm until next cycle begins. In this case you should work more on Ming during low energy period and more on Xing during high energy period and clean your mind out of under consciousness ambitions. Next thing you could face is Yin and Yang disbalance. If you practice really hard and could avoid sex and any kinds of ejaculation for long enough period you could face situation where you have too many Yang energy. On one of retreats I feel just enormous heat in my chest. It was a problem to handle Yang Qi inside me. I start circulating Qi between my lower and middle dantian and it helps. Than breathing through legs help to get some Yin energy for balance. But I get rid of this inconvenience only when I intentionally start pulling Yin Qi out of the earth in meditation and mixing it with Yang Qi. Do not misunderstand it is not fusion but only mixing Now I am facing third kind of problem that could be in some case described like disbalance too. My energy is not clean enough and practising with upper dantian bring me inconvenience in my head. So now I step back in practice and concentrate on cleaning my body and energy. I think this kind of problems in some form appears with everyone. So share how you face such things and what methods helps you.
