Dr Yang, Jwing-Ming's Embryonic Breathing

[konchog uma]

Hi, my taiji/qigong teacher recommends i learn embryonic breathing so i ordered Dr Yangs book from amazon.

 

Has anyone else done this practice? Can you share your experience?

 

I'm excited cause my teacher was a student of Yang's and can teach me and talk with me about it. So thats a bonus. But I would rather hear about other peoples experiences than talk about that!

[zerostao]

you make wise choice, young jedi

[Sloppy Zhang]

I don't know about the Embryonic breathing specifically, but I have a couple of Yang Jwing-Ming's other books. Very thorough. Depending on what books you have, there may be some significant overlap when it comes to history/theory. But other than that, very detailed oriented. I understand he has an engineering background, so when he explores a subject.... he's exploring EVERYTHING in that subject.

 

I prefer having more details than I know what to do with, so I love the books of his that I have. It helps me piece together other stuff that I read from other writers who are light on the details because they don't want to "scare people off"

As long as ChiDragon stays away from the thread, you'll likely get some good advice.

 

I recall one disciple stating how his master had mastered this breathing so he could stay underwater for an hour.

 

I have this book as well as many of his others. He does not give a strict guideline for the method and says to read the translations. I look forward to comments in this thread.

hi anamatva,

 

Here is My link to a topic raised in the book club section of TTB about it. There is also a thread in the General discussion about YJM...

 

You can also have a look in the qigong subsection of YMAA forum. Joeblast who have a deep practice of it gives also some account of his experiences there.

 

As for me I found the DVD useful as an entry point to the practice because the book is thick. I don't know what are your previous experiences and practice but I suggest you already have some background in qigong before going into it.

DB, sounds like a k-thing to me. I'm in "everything is a nail" mood. But i have experienced it a couple of times without doing so on purpose.

It's mentioned in that Bodhri pdf i linked to elsewhere. The practice, i figure, helps you differentiate between different types of respiration (and, especially for Chi dragon;-)) between chi and air. If you think about it, the act of breathing is pretty weird. i was thinking, yes the body needs a pumping action to circulate, that's what this air-breathing stuff is for, to create a vacuum so you can do it unconsciously. But that's just a strange idea I had...

Hey, K

When you're talking aboutdifferent types of respiration, are you talking about chi respiration (or different kinds of chi circulation) different from breathing? Or maybe I should say breathing as only one kind of respiration, the air chi? Sorry, I'm not being very clear what I'm trying to ask. Let me try from another direction...

 

Lately, doing the tai chi ruler practice, it's very clear there is a chi circulation from the heels/feet that is very palpable but not linked to breathing/ respiration. I CAN link the two, but they are separate phenomena. I have been calling that a chi pumping action from a rocking action in the feet, and I'm really interested in anybody's description of similar observation, maybe even with light chi from the eyes, or heaven chi from baihui. Pumps for other kinds or sources of chi. Is that what you're talking about? Is that what your Bodhri link refers to? (I tried to find the link you mention, but the search function is fairly hopeless with my slow computer. When I have time I'll plow through that long Bodhri thread on circulation being a waste of time to see if I can find it.)

 

Thank you for any clues!

I have experienced it too...the heel breath rises from the feet like a wave....it feels like moisture slowly rising up a paper till it rises all the way up to the crown point...and nonlocalized...it is everywhere at the same time. It happens when i stand in preparation form for 15-20 mins at a stretch. Is it respiration or something else...dont know. One thing is thst this happens invountarily and everything from that point ( after it rises completely to the top) is pronounced. The opposites become evident...what george tells us about feeling the 8 directions becomes palpable. The energy can be felt riding the body from back leg through shoulders to hands to palms to finger tips while simultaneously a wave descends in the opposite diretion instantaneously.

hi anamatva,

 

As for me I found the DVD useful as an entry point to the practice because the book is thick. I don't know what are your previous experiences and practice but I suggest you already have some background in qigong before going into it.

 

yeah the dvd is helpful so far but i really want the book. thanks for the link, that thread is helpful. i gather that its a valuable and legitimate practice, so i look forward to beginning it.

 

i have never studied qigong formally before a month ago, but my teacher practices this (he is a yang lineage holder) and he was talking to me about my meditation practices and energy practices and he seemed to think that i was ready for it. ?? so i take you seriously, but i think i can trust my teacher. as far as qigong foundation i have only previously worked with cleaning and charging the 3 dan tiens, and opening and circulating the small orbit.

 

i have been doing qigong in my backyard every day (and other places too!) so soon i will have a better foundation :D but for now all i can say is i appreciate your advice but i think i will continue anyway since my teacher recommends it after talking to me about where i'm at.

do not derail my train! ahhaha

 

I recall one disciple stating how his master had mastered this breathing so he could stay underwater for an hour.

 

isn't that a daoist legend of one of the immortals who could do such things? Not to discredit the idea of others being able to do it, just checking

 

I have this book as well as many of his others. He does not give a strict guideline for the method and says to read the translations. I look forward to comments in this thread.

 

yeah my teacher said to read the book but i won't get it without him showing me ??? i thought he was being guru-ish but now i guess it makes a little more sense now. Thats good i was thinking that was weird.

Yep, I'm talking about being able to isolate different types of (what I'd call) 'respiration'. But that term has a very specific medical/scientific meaning so I'd probably best not use it or I'll get slapped on the wrist. Kidding, better to be precise ;-)

 

Here's the link to the pdf http://www.meditatio...com/Stages2.pdf (scroll down to very end)

 

Yes, the two are linked. And I was thinking about it again this morning, it's a good thing IMO that air-breathing is unconscious If it wasn't, I'm probably one of those people who would forget to do it. Sometimes I forget to have lunch.

[styx_oarsman]

Hi anamatva, I recently got the book you're referring to myself and so far I like it very much. The theory is described in detail and probably gives you a good picture of EB. There's also a lot of important ancient documents related to the practice in the book. Yang translated them himself and offers his commentaries as well, since some of the documents (well, for me most of them) are hard to comprehend.

 

I've been practicing the embryonic breathing only for a few weeks now, but I feel I've already make some (small) progress. So good luck to you

[dawei]

isn't that a daoist legend of one of the immortals who could do such things? Not to discredit the idea of others being able to do it, just checking

Baopuzi, The Master who Embraces Simplicity, written by He Gong said in Shi Zhi (Unblocking the Stagnation):

 

"Fetal breathing, the way of conducting Qi, enables those to do such incredible things. The master of fetal breathing breaths in and out without using the nose and mouth as a fetus breaths in the uterus; he has adopted this skill since that time.

 

At the beginning of learning to conduct Qi, breathe in through the nose first, hold it, calm your mind and count from 1 to 120, then breathe out through the mouth gently. Breathing in and out must be so gentle that you cannot hear any sound of your breathing. Exhale more slightly and gently than inhaling so that a feather placed in front of your nose and mouth won't move (the motionless feather indicates no air is flowing). Carry on practicing and increase the counting number to 1000, then you will rejuvenate day after day.

. . .

I used to follow my grandfather who could stay under water for more than a whole day when we were drunk or at the height of summer because we were able to do fetal breathing. "

Yes, sure.

Mr Chi-Dragon,

 

Your dragon is missing a phoenix.

 

Yes I don't think I'd go for an entire day underwater either, but do you remember this guy?

Hi anamatva. YJM's book is an enjoyable read. It's one of my favorite books by the side of the toilet. The passages translated from the old books are helpful to me as a contemplative practice.

 

{For practical purposes, I do not utilize any teachings from this book. Once I started my stillness-movement practice, much of what YJM shares unfolded spontaneously from my practice. Reading his teachings, at this time, is not necessary for me to advance in my breathing practice.}

So you actually do Embryonic Breathing? It happens spontaneously due to your stillness-movement practice? This is a part of your Taiji practice?

i am not trying to be difficult, i promise. But there is a difference between a fetus and an embryo, so maybe there is a difference between Fetal breathing and Embryonic breathing.

 

i dont know, thats just my first thought.

 

i wonder if doing this is gonna bring back a lot of childhood memories. I'm ready for that. It'll be good to let go of that stuff if it comes up.

Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming

 

 

Learning With The Grandmasters

Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming (楊俊敏博士) started his Gongfu (Kung Fu) training at the age of fifteen under the Shaolin White Crane (Bai He) Master Cheng, Gin Gsao (曾金灶). In thirteen years of study (1961-1974) under Master Cheng, Dr. Yang became an expert in the White Crane style of Chinese martial arts, which includes both the use of bare hands and of various weapons such as saber, staff, spear, trident, two short rods, and many others. With the same master he also studied White Crane Qin Na (or Chin Na), Tui Na and Dian Xue massages, and herbal treatment.

 

At the age of sixteen, Dr. Yang began the study of Taijiquan (Yang Style) under Master Kao, Tao (高濤). Dr. Yang's tai chi can be traced back to the Yang family through Master Kao's teacher Yue, Huanzhi (樂奐之), an indoor disciple of Yang, Chengfu (楊澄甫). After learning from Master Kao, Dr. Yang continued his study and research of Taijiquan with several masters and senior practitioners such as Master Li, Mao-Ching (李茂 清) and Mr. Wilson Chen in Taipei. Master Li learned his Taijiquan from the well-known Master Han, Ching-Tang, and Mr. Chen learned his Taijiquan from Master Chang, Xiang-San. Dr. Yang has mastered the Taiji barehand sequence, pushing hands, the two-man fighting sequence, Taiji sword, Taiji saber, and Taiji Qigong.

 

Becoming a Teacher

When Dr. Yang was eighteen years old he entered Tamkang College in Taipei Xian to study Physics and also began the study of traditional Shaolin Long Fist (Changquan or Chang Chuan) with Master Li, Mao-Ching at the Tamkang College Guoshu Club (1964-1968). He eventually became an assistant instructor under Master Li. In 1971 he completed his M.S. degree in Physics at the National Taiwan University and then served in the Chinese Air Force from 1971 to 1972. In the service, Dr. Yang taught Physics at the Junior Academy of the Chinese Air Force while also teaching Wushu. After being honorably discharged in 1972, he returned to Tamkang College to teach Physics and resumed study under Master Li, Mao-Ching. From Master Li, Dr. Yang learned Northern style Gongfu, which includes both barehand techniques, especially kicking, and numerous weapons.

 

Ph.D in 1978

In 1974, Dr. Yang came to the United States to study Mechanical Engineering at Purdue University. At the request of a few students, Dr. Yang began to teach Gongfu (Kung Fu), which resulted in the foundation of the Purdue University Chinese Kung Fu Research Club in the spring of 1975. While at Purdue, Dr. Yang also taught college-credited courses in Taijiquan. In May, 1978 he was awarded a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering by Purdue.

 

Yang's Martial Arts Association was established in Boston, MA in 1982. With the intent of preserving traditional Chinese Kung Fu and Qigong , Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming began training students in the rigors of Shaolin Long Fist and White Crane Gongfu as well as Yang Style Tai Chi Chuan. Currently, YMAA is an international organization, including 56 schools in Argentina, Belgium, Canada, Chile, France, Holland, Hungary, Iran, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Spain, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States. In the early 80's, Dr. Yang wrote several books, published by Unique Publications. In 1984, Dr. Yang retired from his engineering career, to undertake his life-long dream of teaching and researching the Chinese arts and introducing them to the West through many books, videos and DVDs.

 

Becoming an Author

Founded in 1984, YMAA Publication Center has published many of Dr. Yang's groundbreaking books and videos, and is a pioneer in the cultural exchange between the East and West. While the West has successfully developed the material sciences, the East is celebrated for its levels of spiritual cultivation. During this ongoing period of exchange, the building of bridges is critical for the successful integration of the achievements of both societies. His books and videos have been translated into French, Italian, Spanish, Polish, Czech, Dutch, Bulgarian, Russian, Hungarian, Portuguese, Croatian, German, and Farsi.

 

In summary, Dr. Yang has been involved in Chinese Gongfu since 1961. During this time, he has spent 13 years learning Shaolin White Crane (Bai He), Shaolin Long Fist (Changquan), and Taijiquan. Dr. Yang has more than thirty years of instructional experience: seven years in Taiwan, five years at Purdue University, two years in Houston, TX, and 24 years in Boston, MA. On November 29, 2005, Dr. Yang conferred the title of Taiji Master to one of his senior students (Roger Whidden)for the first time, which by tradition bestows the honorable title of Grandmaster upon Dr. Yang.

 

Worldwide Acclaim

Throughout the year, Dr. Yang travels between YMAA International Branch and Provisional schools worldwide. He also frequently travels within America and around the world presenting lectures and seminars on Chinese martial arts and Qigong. He has visited Argentina, Austria, Barbados, Botswana, Belgium, Bermuda, Canada, China, Chile, England, Egypt, France, Germany, Holland, Hungary, Iran, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Mexico, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Spain, South Africa, Switzerland, and Venezuela. Dr. Yang has published over 35 books and more than 50 videos on the martial arts and Qigong. Currently he is president of Yang's Oriental Arts Association, Boston, MA.

 

Since 2004, Dr. Yang has worked to develop the nonprofit YMAA Retreat Center, a training facility in Humboldt County, CA, where he is training a select group of students in a comprehensive 10-year program.

 

He continues to offer seminars, in California, Boston, and around the world.

You have questioned most people here in terms of their style or their training or they knowledge of chinese medicine (even those who explicitly stated they were trained in it). You've challenged well reputed authors like Chia as not knowing what he is talking about and now Jwing-Ming as having second thoughts of 40 years of practice if he were a doctor instead?

 

I can't think of any other word other than a one-man side-show troll. Why are you here and can't you just stay out of threads? (This does not expect a response; just a departure).

 

Let people pursue topics they are interested in discussing and if you have some background and practice or expertise to share, then do so. Otherwise, stop the BS.
