Astrology and Chi-Gung

[RiverSnake]

I found this particularly interesting excerpt in the book A Complete Guide to Chi-Gung by Daniel Reid and thought i would share it with the forum. Enjoy

 

 

"Certain hours of the day are regarded as being more beneficial than others to Chi-Gung practice. The hours from midnight until noon are designated as the Yang time of day, while from noon until midnight Yin prevails.

 

In the Chineses duodecimal system of marking time, the hourse from eleven p.m. until one a.m. are regarded as the best times for internal energy practice, for this is when the prevailing energy of the planet shifts over from waning yin to ascending Yang.

 

As we have seen, Yang is the active principle of light associated with Heaven, while Yin is related to more passive, darker energies of Earth. Another prime time for pracice is five a.m. to seven a.m., when Yang energy peaks before it descends toward yin at noon.

 

While Chi-Gung practice is always effective in balancing and recharging the human energy system, these two times of day provide particularly powerful results.

 

There are also particular times when adepts are advised not to practice Chi-Gung, due to adverse astral or planetary conditions or foreboding celestial phenomena. Practicing Chi-Gung at such times imprints aberrant patterns and negative influences of such inauspicious and unbalanced conditions on the internal energy of the practicioner, giving rise to extreme imbalances of internal energy that can cause serious ailments and emotional distrubances.

 

For example, Taoists regard eclipses of the sun and moon as extremely inappropriate times to practice Chi-Gung, because the sudden and untimely warp it causes in the natural flow of the solar and lunar energies cna result in a similar eclipse within the ehuman system.

 

Similarly, Taoist masters advise against practising Chi-Gung when there's a comet sweeping throught the sky, because comets are maverick astral bodies that do not conform to the great cosmic rhythms of the planets and stars and their fiery presence streaking through the sky disrupts the normal pulse of cosmic energies reaching the earth, distorting the force fields of the sun, moon and the Ten Celestial stems and transmitting their erratic energy patterns to anyone who attunes thir systems into the preavailing cosmic conditions by practicing Chi-Gung at such a time.

 

Storms, hurricanes, sweltering heat spells, blistering cold, and any other type of extreme or freak weather conditions are also considered to be bad times for humanity to synchronize its energies with the forces of Heaven and Earth.

 

In addition to particularly good and bad times for practice, there are also particularly good and bad places. Certain locations on the planet known as power spots can produce remarakably powerful effects in the human energy system when Chi-Gung is practiced ther, especially when the practice is performed at particularly auspicious times of the year, month and day.

 

The five sacred mountains of China Omei SHan, Wu Tai Shan, Tai Shan, Hua Shan and Chuang Shan - are such powerful spots, and for thousands of years Taoist hermits and Buddhist monks have gone to these places to perfect their practices by tapping into the powerful Dragon Veins of energy that are known to run through those hallowed peaks.

 

Indeed, all high wind-swept mountains far from the ffluvia of human civilization are regarded as superior places for practice due to the extrordinarily potent energies ther, uncluding a very high negative ion count in the air, clarity of light, purity of water, and the strong field polarity that prevails at high altitudes.

 

Some mountains, however, are more powerful than others due to their specific locations relative to the sun, moon, planets, stars and various constellations. Mount Shasta in California and the Red rock mountain in central Australia, Mount Arrat in Iraq and many peaks in the Himalaya are other examples of mountains auspiciously located for internal energy work and advanced spiritual practices.

 

In ancient times, when these matters were much better understood than they are today, all important edifices such as temples and palaces were preciselt built on locations that were known to be power spots.

 

These locations were carefully calculated by masters of astronomy and geomancey, so that buildings constructed on them served as focal points for the powers of Heaven and Earth that converged there.

 

Since temples and palaces as well as imperial tombs and important monuments of the ancient world were all located at places specifically selected as vortices of auspicious astral forces and harmonious earthly energies, today these are still good places to go for practicing meditation and other forms of Chi-Gung.

Hey I appreciate this. Just yesterday I was thinking how meditating facing an eclipse might turn out..

 

Ever heard of any benefit from doing this?

I'm nowadays waking up 4.30 to do Qigong from 5 to 6 am. This feels very good and I see no going back to my old erratic ways.

Hi there,

I have been looking for this thread again, I wanted to post on it, and bring it back up where it belongs... I notice what you are talking about... I don't get the results at the times that are not the best. And I noticed I started waking up around three or a little after to meditate when it is needed it seems...

You guys are so lucky that live in places with the perfect triangulation of the sky's. Australia is on the list, and a lot of you guy's live there... That is awesome. Or to see the results of being on one of those beautiful mountains... Wow. Maybe some day. Just getting started on my journey... Mel
