Mantra68 Posted July 29, 2009 Jenny is GREAT! Â I would encourage anyone interested in gaining another perspective on the spontaneous method to try to make this class. Â Cheers! Â Chris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baguakid Posted July 29, 2009 I really don't consider Spontaneous gong useful (for me, I learned from another teacher) and I've never received any results from it but I'd like to hear more from Jenny. Does she teach anything else? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Machin Shin Posted July 29, 2009 (edited) How do these teachings relate to the red pheonix practices? Â Both those taught by the Kun Lun school and those offered by Shambala at the great stupa. Â The teachings at Shambala are called red pheonix levels 4~6. But when I meditate upon it I get a distinct impression that they are different schools. Maybe Love or somesuch thing connects these two systems together. Â FYI From the A.P. Chinese President Hu Jintao exchanged formalities with Taiwanese President Ma Ying-jeou. This exchange was the first public meeting in sixty years since the civil war that seperated Taiwan from China. Edited July 29, 2009 by Machin Shin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Creation Posted July 30, 2009 (edited) I was just recently thinking "I would really like to attend one of Jenny Lamb's qigong seminars. I hope she continues to offer them." Here one is, and I am really happy about that... but naturally I probably won't be able to go. Maybe when my life is less of a mess... Â easterninternalartsinstitute is an enormous name to post under, by the way. It says a lot in more ways than one Edited July 30, 2009 by Creation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Creation Posted August 3, 2009 A big thank you to vortex for collecting all that info into one post. Especially the stuff from the personal practice discussions, which I do not have the patience to sift through. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Machin Shin Posted August 3, 2009 Bump. Â Â Thanks for all the posts on the development of this school of philospohy. Â I still would like to understand what it means when Chinese President Hu Jintao exchanges formalities with Taiwanese President Ma Ying-jeou. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

growant Posted August 6, 2009 Does Jenny say (like Max) not to combine Kunlun with other energetic/kundalini/upward flowing practices? I don't mean practiced one after the other but more like one in the morning and one in the evening? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cameron Posted August 6, 2009 Yes, Sifu Jenny is great. I would definetly jump at the chance to take her seminar. She is a wonderful human being that I am honored to know. Â My advice if you study with both Jenny and Max keep there distinct styles seperate. Â As Jenny says when you study with someone first empty your cup. If you want to fill the cup up again later with something else you can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
easterninternalartsinstitute Posted August 12, 2009 Answers from Jenny in regards to questions asked: Â The following are my answers for these questions that you brought to me. if you want to post them feel free to do so. Those are general questions. Hope my answer is helpful. The import thing for beginners is not to compare notes from one teacher to another, but rather to find the right teacher to follow through their practice. Practice is the key to deepen their knowledge. Â I really don't consider Spontaneous gong useful (for me, I learned from another teacher) and I've never received any results from it but I'd like to hear more from Jenny. Does she teach anything else? Â Spontaneous adjustment Qigong is not for everyone. Especially, one should not expect an instant spontaneous miracle. It may happen to others but may not happen to you. Holding high expectations and competing with the results of others is not a good way to go. Sometime it becomes an obstacle for you. On the other hand, a pre-existing judgmental mind can only block one's ability to manifest one's own natural healing and receiving benefits from it. Take your time, be patient, open yourself up to it if you want to give it a chance. An insight experience will lead you to a deep understanding. There is a reason why the highest practices are not commonly accessible. It is not merely because it is held in secret but rather it is not the right person to receive it. The right teaching or practice, right time and space, right mind, right effort, and right connection between teacher and student inevitable affects one's path and attainment. A proper guide is incredibly important, but it is one's own responsibility and choice whether one wants to open up to it and has the ability to digest it. Readiness holds the key for any practice or path. Merely judging by appearances may fool you. Â I teach many different techniques and practice as well, but fundamentally speaking, it is for sharing my understanding with those who are serious for their practice and to help them to get ready for finding their own path. Â Does Jenny say (like Max) not to combine Kunlun with other energetic/kundalini/upward flowing practices? I don't mean practiced one after the other but more like one in the morning and one in the evening? Â For any higher lever of spiritual or energy practice, such as Yi gong (or you may call it Kunlun), it has its own complete system, designed to achieve its highest attainment. There is no reason one should mix it with others, especially when one is not knowledgeable. More methods doesn't mean a faster result. If you believe this practice does not suit you, find one that does and stick with it. Generally speaking, if you throughly understand one you will understand all. Â Different systems of energetic practice sometimes may conflict with each other, because the goal and the design to reach the goal is different, just as different herbs have healing power but can cancel each other out if using them at the same time. You do not want to see one practice cancel another. Â My suggestion is, if one finds a practice that one is comfortable with, has faith in it and has a good teacher to guide one, that practice should be one's best choice to stick with it. Window shopping in spiritual or healing practices is fashionable today. However, just because there is more accessibility to any practice does not make one know more. Direct experience is the result of perseverance. To stick with one system is a wise choice. A good system, one door should open all doors. No need to waste time going back and forth. For beginners, if one wants to combine common practices into your main practice, such as stretching, opening channels, yoga, martial arts and so forth, it could be very helpful, in fact, to improve your main practice. The basic rule to follow is, if your practice costs you harm you should stop it right away and consult someone with more knowledge. A good practice should leads one to a healthy body and wise mind. It improves one's life in positive ways, not the opposite. Â How do these teachings relate to the red pheonix practices? Â Yi gong is not related to the red pheonix practice. Â Thanks for all the posts on the development of this school of philospohy. I still would like to understand what it means when Chinese President Hu Jintao exchanges formalities with Taiwanese President Ma Ying-jeou. Â I have no idea.

I can't wait for the future retreat.. Â Peace, Q.. Â Nice feedback. Out of curiosity were you a Kunlun student before you went to see Sifu Jenny? if so, do you think seeing her benefited the practice? Â Â I would also love to hear a response to Vortex's question.
