voidisyinyang Posted December 27, 2011 How long does it takes to reach step 7/8 in from Taoist Yoga? Â Chunyi Lin has reached it. I don't know anyone else who has -- not personally. Others would include Wang, Liping and Master Nan, Huai-chin probably. Master Zhang also of http://qigongmaster.com and a few others on the planet. It's not time as much as who teaches you and how well you train. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Protector Posted December 27, 2011 So, a long freaking time, right Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
voidisyinyang Posted December 27, 2011 So, a long freaking time, right  Chunyi Lin trained since 1980 but he came to the U.S. in 1993 or so. He returned back to China for maybe a year or two. Not sure if he trained during then - probably.  Basically according to "Taoist Yoga" you progress to the week long bigu fast to "lay the foundation" -- I did that training but didn't quite finish it. Because even at that stage you want personal supervision.  The energy builds up really fast if you are training right and accelerates in intensity.  So then the next level is the seven week long fast -- no water, no food, no sleep. Chunyi Lin did that. He mentions this master and mountain where also there is the seven week fast cave meditation -- http://qigongmaster.com  That Master Zhang even comes to the U.S. to teach also.  It only took me six months to build up to the week long fast to open the third eye. Chunyi Lin said I had an enlightenment experience. I didn't keep training though intensively - the energy was too powerful and people around me were freaking out, etc.  So the main thing is to find a teacher who has the skill to guide you in the energy and it's really rare to find a very high level teacher. If you can find one then you have to be accepted as a student and most teachers just personally supervise one or two other people to become qigong masters.

Protector Posted December 27, 2011 My heart is soaring just thinking about the future of the humanity and how it will advance in the upcoming years. Everything everyone ever known about the world is different now. I must calm myself before I can take part in this great change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you're making it up, or referencing Chunyi Lin's training rather than the training described in Taoist Yoga. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aetherous Posted December 27, 2011 How long does it takes to reach step 7/8 in from Taoist Yoga? Â If you're referring to the chapters, they don't necessarily go in order step by step. For instance, just chapter one covers a lot of ground. Â Otherwise, what is "step 7/8"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

voidisyinyang Posted December 27, 2011 That doesn't matter anymore, that's why I'm happy  The return of vitality to the lower tan t'ien (under the navel) after spirit has been fixed in its original cavity (in the centre of the brain between and behind the eyes, see chapter 1) will, after one day and night of stillness, enable the practiser to abstain from food for a week; and by advancing further he will be able to stop eating for seven weeks. Only then can he dwell in real serenity.  That's page 90, the end of chapter eight of Taoist Yoga: Alchemy and Immortality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aetherous Posted December 27, 2011 It'll be easier to avoid my "perv attacks" if you don't post stupid shit, Drew. Â I have no misunderstanding about anything you say, and am in fact correcting you.
