Â The study of the Tao is a lonesome road. Internal arts are only performed by the one. From Zen the lesson of the full bladder flows true. Qi Gong.

And high-level Gong requires inner cultivation of your mind and meditation anyway(soft Qi Gong).  You would do good to check out the book Zhuan Falun(Falun Dafa cultivation school) for real truth about Gong Fu cultivation. The book link is here:  http://www.falundafa.org/eng/books.html  Wish you good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
