theELementalist Posted January 25, 2011 hi. i have lots of things going on...first off ... i naturally started to feel a drain, and started stopping ejaculating...all while reading into esoteric stuff... then i found out that this is an actual practice. that i did mostly intuitively...as well as some other qi gong stuff, and also becoming a vegetarian by feel alone. i have read alot of VARIOUS info... im wondering..since i can already go extended periods without ejaculating..i am a vegetarian..i do intuitive qi gong...i practice gong fu in a school... what else can i do , ie the micro cosmic orbit 9any info on that?). can anyone give me a list to follow, of practices i should do to go along with conserving my jing or whatever else i may be accomplishing. i have noticed some effects that i will list later. i was hoping people could answer here, in one place so it is easier to establish this stuff as routines. without all kinds of ideas from different sources. i need focused practices.

devoid Posted January 27, 2011 Hi theELementalist, There are many ways to the Tao - both formal and informal. Do you have an intermediate goal? I ask you to ask yourself because that could help you answer your own question about where to look. You may have many goals and you may not want to talk about all of them out loud - but if you can create clarity for yourself you will know better in what direction to look which again will help you ask the question about which practices you should consider. Sorry if that was not the kind of answer you were looking for, but given that there are more systems and practices out there than a person can cover in a life span, regardless of level of devotion, I think the question is very important for anyone seeking. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VCraigP Posted January 27, 2011 What kind of "gongfu" do you do? Perhaps you can inquire with your teacher regarding meditation practice and/or qigong to go along with the "gongfu" training? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Astral_Anima Posted January 27, 2011 If you're into "intuitive" and "feel" stuff you may want to look into Yi-Gong or another form of spontaneous movement/adjustment qigong. It's all about intuition and listening to your "body intelligence" (ime). Also it's best not to get caught up in the idea that many practices are better than a few because usually it's the other way around. Most practices that are publically taught are only preparations for the "higher levels" so generally most public forms of energy work all aim to do the same thing. Just sticking with one solid practice or two complimentary practices will probably benefit you more than practicing a whole bunch of diff ones, otherwise you'll be "jack of all trades, master of none". Another fun practice that i've picked up and used is sungazing. Check out these two sight's below for more info. http://sungazing.com/652.html http://solarhealing.com/sungazing/ Lastly You may also want to try out a raw foods diet. It can be hard at first but I've found personally it's quite rewarding in terms of energy and positive outlook (you'd be surprised the link between diet and mental health). Best of luck, -Astral Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. T Posted January 27, 2011 hey elem, i kind of agree with anima, in that it seems like you have quite a few "daily practices", and that maybe adding more wouldn't necessarily be a good thing. can i ask how long you have been practicing these things? not that it matters, i guess, just curious... however, to answer you question the best i can, i know that iron body practices are sometimes associated with various forms of conservation of energies, perhaps you have done this in your school already. if not, finding a proper teacher of those things might prove tricky. that's about all i might have to offer....good luck!

PLEASE GUYS MORE INFO!!! I WONT GET LOST! Edited January 28, 2011 by theELementalist Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theELementalist Posted January 28, 2011 (edited) i am having some clairvoyance...regarding meridians and tendants and the cinnabar field also. like knowing that these energy pathways or just like nerve paths and how the signals from my brain go down into my tendants and into my hands an feat. how this is part of the internal training i thhink. how when we do hard qi gong...it opens up and strengthens the tendents...IS THIs SO CHI CAN GET THROUGH EASIER AND UNBLOCKED?? QI IS DIRECTED WITH THE MIND??? sorry for caps..lol..and um... other stuff. including a built up mental attitude where i can mentally dominate someone jedi style. i never use it. its liek a charisma charm qi type of thing. this increases with semen retention. anyone know how to hone these skills^^^^ there is more. i will write in time. i have a main goal of becoming a strong energy healer.

King Kabalabhati Posted January 28, 2011 anyone know how to hone these skills^^^^ there is more. i will write in time. i have a main goal of becoming a strong energy healer. Ya Mu's Stillness Movement Neigong seems to be one of the most promising systems for high class healing, this is what I have gathered from following discussions on this board. In my own experience you can't go wrong with Spring Forest Qigong, I've had very nice healing experiences in my year (home study) of practice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
