How about muscle testing or pendulum dowsing in general or to fix physical ailments, and problems, or improve life in general? Are they against nature/Buddhism to be used? These tools are supposed to help get rid of pain and suffering or help one not to be emotionally volatile or imbalanced (helps us not to create more bad karma) but I'm unsure if there are any karmic risks to using these things or any long-term or unseen harm to myself as an exchange since it is energy work. I am hoping someone who is both Buddhist and has experience in this area can answer, but anyone can feel free to answer. 🙏 EDIT 1: To clarify, I'm asking to see if it aligns with Buddhism and what Buddhists have a say on it as to whether it is a proper practice or tool to help relieve suffering or to improve one's ability to practice Buddhism indirectly/directly, and if there any risks to using these tools or healing modalities or similar.

So basically I practice the GOOD energy work which uses nothing but the SOULs positive energy not like other new age bullshit which uses negative energy disguised as positive and Ive gained a few abilities from that which I will tell you how to acquire. (I realized after developing remote viewing that most people have no soul so they can't do this less than 25 percent of people have a soul the NPC theory was right dw if you are self aware you have one.) Abilities: 1. Sensing energy and energy strength: basically I can sense energy a little like if I come across a video with awful energy I will be able to tell from the thumbnail and not click and energy strength allows me to fight negative entities and spirits (if they are harmed by positive energy they evil so attack all things). As well as allowing me to escape this universe when astral projecting or upon death (btw I've seen other universes they are way better than this hellhole magic and cultivation in those works actually is visible and easier and there is no suffering so I'ma either make a universe when I die or go to a good one). How to develop this ability: Imagine lakes in your head feet and hands move the water or feel it moving in a cycle from your head to hands and back to head same with feet keep moving it till your intuition says stop for the day everyday this moves your energy increases its strength and allows you to train sensing energy. 2. Remote viewing. This is a useful ability as it allows you to see entities and spirits as well as checking your energy body for damage. Basically it is what it sounds like except here we are viewing energy as that is easier than viewing physical objects. How to develop this ability: Imagine a place you know far away from you try to see it in your mind if you can't just create it till you can see it in a few months then try looking around and try viewing the energy body of people the same way sometimes you'll see black just push through that blackness eventually you'll see them if you see a grey or black body WITHOUT something in the center of the chest it's an NPC and don't attack entities that are outside you or someone elses body you have no clue if they are stronger than you. Eventually you'll be able to remote view without creating it and you now have a good ability. I'd give this ability 2 months of training everyday till intuition says stop to develop it. 3. Increased strength and durability. Yup you get physical benefits from this too by adding another technique you can increase your strength with energy. How to develop this ability: After 6 months of training or even at the beginning just intend to raise your strength with energy and jump see how much higher you jump (I can currently jump more than 10 inches extra) do this till your intuition says stop and rest till your intuition says do it again or rest for a day or two like one day yes one day no I made the mistake of not resting enough at the beginning stages of this technique and only now I realized I needed more rest. Anyway if you have any questions just comment and I will reply. P.S only use your own energy not energy from other sources because as a beginner you won't know what's good and what's bad

Hello, I'm new here: A friend of mine recommended this forum, he says one can find real wisdom reading these threads... Well, I'll give it a try I'm not interested in martial arts, never found fun in fighting, confrontantion, conflict... However I'd like to know more about qigong, the one like Spring Forest Qigong method (working with energy). Here in Spain there is nothing like it. What other work of energies (qigong) are out there? Regards, J.

I am curious if anyone has experienced a major blockage in the solar plexus area (about 4 fingers above the belly button) and may know how to clear it or the root cause. I have tried breathing techniques, chakra balancing/energizing techniques and many types of visualization techniques but still have an noticeable pressure in this area which I am 99% sure is energy related. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I've progressed in my spiritual development and meditative practices and discovered myself to possess Astral Blindness that is a rather persistent problem over the years. Does anyone have any recommendations or practices to begin working on this?

UPDATE: I have prematurely awarded the prize to the1gza. I am leaving the country to do intensive training in Taiwan, and as I may be M.I.A for a while, it's important that I keep my word. Thank you to the few people who participated in this challenge. Overall, I was disappointed that this practice-oriented thread generated so little interest, but this is the internet, after all, and in a way the lack of love helped to kick me off the internet entirely and into real practice, which is pretty much the ideal outcome. ---------- Okay! Ladies and Gentlemen! I hereby declare a new 100-day challenge/contest of practice. I really enjoyed the last one started by BKA, but alas, I was very late to the party, and I did not win. So this time, I'll be offering two grand prizes for two special winners. THE CONTEST: SATURDAY, MARCH 7th -> SUNDAY, JUNE 14 POST YO' PRACTICE (IDEALLY 100 DAYS STRAIGHT) THE RULES This contest is limited to the following practices: -chigong / nei gong -energy work of any kind (like shen gong, reiki, whatever your energy practice is) -yoga -trampolines count Post as much as you want: what you did and for how long. Keep a record of how much you're doing. This is on the honor system. GREAT PRIZES FROM DOGSON At the conclusion of the practice period, I will be offering the following prizes: GRAND PRIZE - MOST CONSECUTIVE DAYS OF TRAINING Whoever has the longest streak of training, measured in days, will win the Bruce Frantzis Tai Chi Mastery DVDs. This is quite a lot of material. About 12 DVDs I think, including fighting applications. It is specifically the Wu Style short form. FIRST PRIZE - MOST INSPIRING POSTS I am going to offer another prize for whoever posts the most "inspiring" stuff about their practice during the 100 days. This is totally vague and subject to my whimsy. This is because I'm a libra and also left handed. Seriously though: I feel that inspiration is really valuable, and I think that a great reason to train is in order to enjoy a long beautiful, healthy, creative life. THE PRIZE FOR MOST INSPIRING POSTS WILL BE THE BRUCE FRANTZIS XING YI DVDs - I believe an 8-DVD set, including a separate I-Chuan standing program. PLEASE NOTE: "INSPIRING" DOES NOT INVITE SPAM AND CLICKBAIT. You are not going to win by constant posting clips from the matrix or crouching tiger! Post real stuff about your real practice/life experiences. Yoga note: I'm including yoga because yoga is dope. EDIT: NEW TRAMPOLINE CLAUSE Trampolines are now considered as chi training after my awesome experience with my new rebounder. Admittedly, after I do a 20 minute bounce, I always do some tai chi... but it really opens stuff up. Feel free to post with your trampoline nei gong experiences, trampoline nei gong is totally welcome in this contest, and furthermore, everyone should get a trampoline. *drops mic* LET THE GAMES BEGIN

I hope this is the right place to post this... I'm new here (a Taoist/Christian wandering along), and need a little help. I have trained Tai Chi (Wu style) for around 20 years. I had a great teacher, who poured as much as he could into me with the time we had. After training under him for around 8 years, I had to move away. By that time I was teaching my own classes for beginners. But since that time I have been on my own. Now I find myself in a small town with no resources for me. The local tai chi classes are taught by a Hard Stylist (which is going to be zero help for internal energy work), and he doesn't even do Qigong. I am looking for some help on working with my Chi, as well as some question as to Mindfulness Meditation. There are so many people in the Personal Practice area, I am guessing someone could be of help, but how do you know? So I guess this is me casting my net to see what swims in. Any help anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated!!!
