In your Experience...

[voidisyinyang]

Well the very first healing Chunyi Lin did in Minnesota was at his friend's house before they went to play basketball. His friend had to run downstairs to grab something but his friend's cat was there. Maybe it was a dog. Anyway the friend told Chunyi Lin that the pet was deaf. So Chunyi Lin just put his hands on the ears of the pet and by the time the friend had finished changing clothes, the pet could hear. Chunyi Lin told his friend -- here call your pet's name! And then the pet responded. haha. So he's done that with humans as well --- restored their healing. Effie P. Chow has a video of this as well -- healing this dude's hearing. You can see it on my blog -- look in the old blogs http://naturalresonancerevolution.blogspot.com

 

The dizziness and ear ringing is because the ears are the opening of the kidney meridian. ...

Interesting, I've noticed this "problem" lately...but hadn't heard this explanation given before. I hope it's this and not a real problem.

 

Are there any other sources that also say this?

In your experience, what are some of the benefits of "jing cultivation", or "semen retention"?

I understand that these are not the same thing, but that is aside from the point...

That is:

I am a beginner looking for encouragement.

I feel in my heart that this is the correct direction for me to take with my life, but I am not convinced of the authenticity of its benefits.

I have started the so-called "100-day" trial. It will be hard for me to resist temptation.

Why is it worth it?

Thanks & Praise,

John Zen

Hi John. I suspect from what you have written here that you already have a pretty good idea of

what the benefits are to conserving jing. Jing is our life essence. When jing is full, we are apt to be

healthy and strong and youthful, and as jing is depleted we will grow weaker and become more prone to

illness, and we will age quicker. How far one wants to go with jing conservation is really dependent

on each person, and what their goals are. If you just want to maintain good health and vitality, and slow down

the aging process, then moderation in sex will do. One Chinese guideline I came across for ejaculation

frequency for men (likely of Taoist origin) is as follows, based on age:

Twenties - not more than once per week

Thirties - not more than once in two weeks

Fourties - not more than once per month

Fifties - not more than once in two months

Sixties - none at all after age sixty four

 

Moderation although quite helpful in itself, is much more effective if one also practices qigong and other

internal practices such as tai chi or bagua and meditation to increase the process of transforming jing into qi,

and qi into shen. Such practices are said to be more effective the more one can control one's worldly desires

and attachments to worldly things. For those whose thoughts are frequently on sex, then the best approach

is probably just to use moderation as best as they can manage.

 

For those who are less attached to sexual desires and worldly attachments in general, it is not a problem

to reduce sex to a much lower frequency, or to even become fully celibate. Such people might also

be drawn to doing more practices such as qigong and meditation and related practices that will

allow them to transform the extra conserved essence into qi and shen. Really though, celibacy or even

going for prolonged periods without sexual release should not be practiced by those who can't keep

their minds off sex. Such people need to work on moderation first. So again, it really depends on the person

and where their focus is, and what their goals are, and what they can realistically manage. Thus, going for

three months or more without sex might be no problem at all for some, but might be problematic for others. Such things should not be forced, as that will likely only lead to problems. Some may suggest otherwise, but in

my experience these theories clearly hold true. Ultimately though, we each have have to walk our own

path.

 

Best wishes from Iskote...

 

[A few notes added later:]

The sexual frequency numbers suggested above are a guideline for the average person and

individuals will have to adjust to their own constitution and purposes. If one seriously wants to

cultivate health and longevity , and for more serious spiritual development purposes, one would reduce

the frequency somewhat more than the maximums suggested in the guidelines above.

 

One should also note that just because someone practices energy practices and/or energy healing of some

sort or other and still has fairly frequent sex, this does not invalidate the above theories. Some types of

energy work draw/use energy from outside the self and this energy can be used for healing others and the

self to some extent. However, in my experience the theories regarding jing conservation still hold true,

and one just needs to observe where such people who ignore such theories are at once they reach

65 or 70 years old or so. One will clearly see the difference of where their bodies are at

once this age period is reached. Some people may be able to keep their energy levels up

somewhat using certain qigong practices up to that age range, but the wear and tear on their

bodies will be undeniable by the time they reach 65 or so, regardless. Such theories may not sit so well

with some, but this is valid based on my own experience and observation anyway. Regarding, sexual practices

that involve semen retention, a former taoist meditation teacher of mine commented that such practices

produce a lot of 'steam', and may give the impression of giving results in the short term, but that is all.

For those sincerely seeking to cultivate longevity and spirituality, the guidelines above should

not be taken lightly. That is my view anyway.

 

Best wishes to all, and may all your thoughts be good ones...

The Chinese medicine explanation of IC symptoms is the following: Pain and burning are experienced because of the meridian blockage of both the bladder and kidney and thus the Qi can not flow through the meridian. The frequency is caused by the lack of power in the kidney which causes the bladder to be out of control. The discomfort in the inner thigh area is because this is the pass way of that meridian. The weakness in the lower back is on the location of the blocked meridian. The dizziness and ear ringing is because the ears are the opening of the kidney meridian.

Awesome find, Drew!

 

Duh, kidneys are connected to the ears, just like the liver is connected to the eyes. However, this article is not clear if ringing in the ears signifies kidney meridian blockages...or opening?

[voidisyinyang]

Vortex -- Chunyi Lin's secret is that the more we heal others the more we heal ourselves. Chunyi Lin also teaches that sickness is EXTRA ENERGY in your body which is not harmonized. So when we heal others by healing ourselves we take in other people's extra unharmonized energy blockages and then we harmonize that energy -- thereby clearing out our own blockages -- and then we transmit that now extra HARMONIZED energy into the person who had the blockage. This process is impersonal, working through the complementary opposite resonance of the electrochemical emotional energy turning into electromagnetic energy.

 

So the opening of the channel is also the clearing of the blockage -- or as psychology teaches the symptom is the sign for the future cure. For example depression is actually a symptom of inner growth -- just as teenagers get "growing pains" for their physical growth.

Wasn't it you who also said, "most important is to be relaxed and happy"?,

which I think is perhaps the simplest best advice I've heard.

 

Can't remember.

 

But if I said so, you're the one who made it so.

 

We are essentially like stars, or symbolic presence. Physical manifestation of cosmic information and light.

Chunyi Lin's words:

 

Spring Forest Level 3 manual, page 62:

 

"Use the blue flame to burn the cancer into smoke and see it shooting out of the body to the end of the universe".

 

Spring Forest Level 2 manual, page 37.

 

"And don't put this extra energy into your own body either, the message is not good for your health. Here I have a story to share with you.

 

...I met a person diagnosed with lung cancer...he had a sweet wife and lovely son...I felt so sympathetic with him. Then in my healing I said to the universe, "Let me take his cancer and set him free." Then I visualised his cancer moved to my body and he was healed. Eventually he passed away because the cancer spread very fast in the body. But that day, right after my healing, after I got home, I felt great chest pain in my lungs. It took me several weeks to get rid of the pain. I learned a big lesson."

 

Another source:

 

Chinese Qigong - Outgoing Qi Therapy, pages 18-19

 

"The disordered qi or pathogenic qi of the patient may invade into the body of the therapist and interfere with his own qi activities, causing discomfort, lassitude, soreness, distention, pain and numbness of certain parts. When this occurs, the therapist should timely drive the evil-qi out of his body and regulate his own qi activity to get it normal as soon as possible.

 

Patients suffering from cancer may affect the therapist's qi activity more seriously, so care should be taken not to carry out too much emission of qi, or not to emit qi to these kinds of patients at all."

 

Chunyi Lin on healing energy:

 

"Always call upon your (spiritual) master's energy to tap a tremendous resource. When your masters energy joins your energy, you will have much more energy to use.

 

While you are doing healing, visualize universal energy coming into your body through every cell and gathering in your lower dantian. In this way you replenish the energy you are sending out."

 

Taking a persons 'sick qi' or 'qi blockages'-use whatever term you like-is a dangerous thing to do for any healer. Chunyi Lin clearly states NOT to do this. Drew has his own theories, which of course he is entitled to. However, they are not the same as Chunyi Lin's, nor are they the same as other qigong healers. Take your pick.

 

FWIW, anyone looking for reliable information on what is, or is not, safe, would be well advised to follow the advice of Michael Lomax-Ya Mu-here. He knows what he is talking about, has a lineage of qigong second to non, and the recognised credentials-and experience-to back it up.

Make sure you start practising this exercise as often as you can, daily:

 

 

This is the way all humans should stand, it is better for your posture and will help you open all your leg channels.

 

Practice grounding exercises: IMA, Walking meditation...

 

 

Good luck.

Actually you are correct -- in fact Chunyi Lin said this to our class once -- that it's best to focus on healing ourselves because healing others is dangerous. I found this a strange thing for him to say since he teaches healing others right away but sometimes he would say things to me while speaking indirectly to the class as a whole. Also he emphasizes that before we can do serious healing on others we have to build up our own energy first. That's why he recommends at least 3 months of serious practice before taking Level 3 -- implying the gong or 100 day celibacy.

 

For example right after I finished my 8 day fast on just half glass of water Jim Nance asked me to share my experience. Then this old lady asked me for a healing. When I accidentally pulled this old lady's spirit out of the top of her skull she started bawling immediately. I felt this heavy electromagnetic blog get pulled out and I was standing to her side while she was looking forward, so she couldn't see what I was doing. I wasn't touching her but I accidentally pulled out her energy blockage from the top of her skull, not realizing my own power compared to her weakness. Chunyi Lin had told us to not pull energy blockages from straight out of the top of the skull but he said it just once and I forgot about it. She was still bawling for 15 minutes straight!

 

When Chunyi Lin said it was best to focus on healing ourselves because healing others is dangerous that was at his first healing center location. When Chunyi Lin first started teaching it was in the city directly -- at a local college. Then he got a healing center that was in a near suburb. But soon he shut that down and moved far out into the country. So his healing center is in a far out suburb where there's lots of wildlife and Chunyi Lin said to me once that when our energy gets strong then we want to be in the countryside where there's fox, geese, deer, etc.

 

So it is dangerous to do healing in the inner city where the energy is very impure and I know this directly. I've been testing the healing energy -- and the energy knows what to do! You just sit in full-lotus and the energy flows on its own. No theory is necessary! haha.
