I myself was thinking of only doing 3 meditations a day but always different so i cycle through all of them, that way i dont put a burden on myself to do too much but also because i have trouble sleeping too much fp probably doesnt help. But perhaps i should give what your doing a try. Yes i am doing the short form 5 ... I do all of them every day ... sometimes 2x. on the days i don't do 2x i try to do the long form the time is about one hour broken into two sessions in either case ... as noted here previously i have hit 40 min on the long form a couple of times recently but mostly 30 min Sleeping is a bit of a problem for me still 'old man bladder' issues and that has decreased in frequency of late . I credit FP for this btw i also occasionally do a couple of the seated forms 50 20 10 and 70 50 20 10 most often late evening or middle of the night when i can not slip right back to sleep. good luck persistent practice pattern pays off with FPCH 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BluePhoenix133 Posted May 3, 2018 Alright i might try and do the short forms everyday. By long form i take it you mean DVD 4? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ridingtheox Posted May 4, 2018 right 90 sec nominal in other posts I have given example times ... much longer than 90 sec in fact 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BluePhoenix133 Posted May 7, 2018 For some reason i never do the 90 seconds meditation, but i tried it a few days ago and i felt great for days which i think was due to those meditations. Doing it everyday seems a bit much but if its working for you why not, they are short after all. Still i wonder if doing fp everyday is a good thing, i was thinking of having sundays as a day of rest, might actually help the energy integrate better... but i dunno.

BluePhoenix133 Posted May 7, 2018 Im constantly trying to battle my sleeping pattern, tired of being nocturnal especially now the weather is so nice. But if i do flying phoenix later im just so full of energy and find it difficult to sleep, the sleep meditation on DVD 7 actually wakes me up if anything it seems. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leviticus Posted May 7, 2018 Hello, everyone. I appreciate this forum and everyone's input over the years. About 4 years ago Flying Phoenix was a part of a healing protocol I put together to get rid of anxiety, which came on after a gut issue. FP was an important part in healing my body. Well, I'm getting over another gut issue and feeling good, thanks to FP and other things. All I'm doing is the complete first volume every night before bed... The gut issue recently was so bad that I dropped 15 pounds in two weeks and my hair started shedding. My gut wasn't absorbing nutrients very well. However, I'm gaining my weight back and my hair has stopped shedding as much. There are tons of new hairs which tells me my gut has healed to the point where it's taking in nutrients well. My question for you all... If you had all the FP videos and taylored your own 30 minute routine every night, which exercises would you put together to continue to heal your gut and calm the sympathetic system(fight, fight response). Thank you in advance. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you in advance. Hello As one of the alternatives, this is working for me : Learn about vayus in the body. Especially work on the corresponding vayus for digestion and elimination and see if they are intense or weak at the first place. Then B A L A N C E all vayus. You can do that by means of corresponding mudras or forms daily, for at least 15 minutes for each of them. In my case problem came from less Water element than others. If you decide to use mudras only use vayu mudras, be cautius and very sceptic and very observant. I don’t have a link to a web site for that. Do your own study. Also do Monk Holding Pearl daily or any FP med as well for shielding any strong effects. Be moderate, patient and observant and most of all intelligent in your practice. Healing is a long process. I wish you get well soon. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leviticus Posted May 10, 2018 Thank you, Cihan. I'll look into vayus. I'll be sure to extend the time on Monk Holding Pearl. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BluePhoenix133 Posted May 10, 2018 Hi, im not sure which meditations would help but i have IBS which is pretty much cured now despite having a certain addiction which is holding me back from being completely healed, in the past i had over come that for a time along with taking certain supplements and i was comepletely better...however i started doing silly things and it came back. My body weight was as low as 10 stone 8 and im 6ft 3 but now im at 12 stone again. Before i had to beat this addiction something to do with serotonine depletion i bet, i also couldnt eat certain things. But i also took certain supplements, now i have found so many supplements that help that im better despite not conquering my addiction. The first supplements i took were oceans alive phytoplankton, you should be able to find testimonials of people with digestive issues who say this stuff has helped, give you pretty much all the nutrition you need and is easy to absorb. The second is symprove probiotics. Now as for other supplements i have tried on and off. One is great lakes gelatin. Another is something called shilajit, a more expensive alternative to phytoplankton. I have also taken medicinal mushrooms, i believe lions mane and turkey tail were the ones that probably helped my gut. I also tried CBD oil briefly but that actually made my IBS worse, it could help you but i recommend trying the first two supplements especially the phytoplankton. Hhmmmm what else, bee pollen perhaps might have helped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I feel that I have the supplements and diet honed in, although I'm always open to suggestions. I'm healing nicely with the Wim Hof technique, diet, supplements, infrared lights and the first volume of Flying Phoenix Chi Kung. I'm feeling pushed to dive a little deeper into FPCK...

phil Posted May 10, 2018 (edited) Does anyone know this guy? Lots of differences to Terrys Version.. but I like the phoenix in the background Especially last 3rd totally different.. but FPCHCK was only taught by Doo Wai or am I wrong? How can this version be so different Edited May 10, 2018 by phil 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tao stillness Posted May 12, 2018 I think I saw this video several years ago. All that comes to mind about why it is different is that Doo Wai made many videos of advanced chi kung forms and this fellow might have been able to learn from them. What I liked about it was that he did the movements slow enough so that you could follow what he was doing. When I watch Doo Wai do movements he does them so relatively fast that I am not sure what he is doing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ShivaShakti Posted May 16, 2018 (edited) On 11/11/2016 at 4:45 PM, Vajra Fist said: I asked Eric Isen to test Golden Phoenix when it came out. I had a dream I learned it from Sifu Christer. However he said: "This Golden Flying Phoenix is OK but somewhat limited in what it would do for you. It would help the liver and have some good results with intuition. "The Terry Dunn Flying Phoenix results in a more powerful movement of the Kundalini spiritual energy than this one and develops the power 3rd chakra in you quite powerfully." Bear in mind though it's a personal reading. Hi Vajra, I recently got back here at daobums. As you know there are 3 groups of GFP meditations. Each group consist of 6 meditations. Christer is only teaching/instructing only 1 meditation of the 6 meditations (1 group) on his DVD/video. And the rest of the meds, are only available thru skype private instructions. I am fortunate that I have all of 18 Meditations of Golden Flying Phoenix (6 meditations per group--3 groups), all in one video. I tell you that GM Doo Wai, hand movements are not sharp, it's a bit like a demo vid. however watching closely the rise and fall, I did manage to do one meditation. it's the 4th meditation of the first group. Why the 4th? because it has only few hand movements, and I was trying to find out if I can do it and elicit the GFP chi. I can say even doing one meds of GFP has (also) powerful chi effects, as GM Doo Wai said, it is advanced. So right now I am doing just the 4th meditation. As GM Doo Wai said practice first each meditations, one by one, before you do all meds of, a 1 group of meditations. It would be interesting what eric can say about the complete group of meditations.

BluePhoenix133 Posted May 19, 2018 Im practicing volume 5 atm, it just occured to me that sometimes i like to put my index finger and thumb together on my left hand. Then hold it over my right shoulder, i started doing this before i ever practiced the 90 second power meditations. The first meditation this is the second position, i just felt really good to do... make me wonder why though. I think i mainly started doing it when i bless my water, saw some guy on youtube saying if your holding water bless it with the hand your not holding it with by joining the tumb and index finger and holding near the water. I do this whilst trying to love the water with my intent, this usually get my chi going and it just felt good to hold over my right shoulder. Just thought i'd share that, makes me wish i could see what was going on energetically instead of just feel it. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BluePhoenix133 Posted May 21, 2018 Just did the first med on volume 5, as soon as i went into the first position i felt this lovely energy in the right side of my brain more in the middle slightly down...felt so good so i just stood like that for a while. I take it there is no set time for how long you take to do a meditation or how long you stay in a certain position? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

People who have had NDEs also report this. But a great photo anyway. Hi Steve, I have seen one angel in my lifetime--fortunately on a recurring basis-since 1994. It happened to be in human form. No wings. But with an energy field and aura extending beyond 8 inches from all surfaces of his body (it was a he on this plane), And this energy field was so dense in that particular moment when he allowed me to experience it that I would have burned myself irreparably had I moved my hand closer to his skin. No, he was not Chinese. On occasions when I sat in a chair right after he did, or laid on a mattress that he had been using for days before, my body was infused by a deeply sweet energy that is best described as "divine" and in the case of the mattress, dreams of absolutely unique and new content came, lucidity in dreamstate was enhanced to levels never experienced before, the simplest of foods shared at the same table with him tasted better than anything I had had before, and the wine (of brands and vintages that I knew well) each time tasted like incomparable heavenly nectar, and in watching him help and heal others, I felt the "passion" in compassion on a cellular level. Once, on the streets of New York City, where trouble comes looking for you, a couple of very destructive and demonic spirits automatically carom'd off the sidewalk at an angle and went across the street each time they came within 25 feet in front of us and that occurred only because I was with this person.

tao stillness Posted May 24, 2018 Thank you Sifu Terry for sharing your experience with angels. From that I would conclude that angels can appear in various forms but perhaps regardless of their visual appearance, the constants with each experience with them is the Divine Light/energy and the feeling of Divine love? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Excellent that your "normal" style and speed is 30 min. I work on doing the entire Long Form meditation with emphasis on relaxation relaxation, relaxation where I don't feel my body during the meditation. While the FP Healing Energy is distinctively and exclusively a healing energy, the depth of relaxation also is enhanced and facilitated by the same principles of body mechanics/movement taught by high-level Tai Chi Chuan masters. Glad you are enjoying the capstone cultivation. Best, Sifu Terry 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
