I reflected on how anytime something good financially had happened to me I had been doing a lot of Zhunti. So back it is again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maddie Posted April 15 1 minute ago, Apech said: what are the side effects? in the past I have experienced so many side effects. Since it digs up bad karma usually what happened was every unpleasant emotion and memory that I was trying to deny came rushing to the surface. If someone has never purged their karma before all I can say is that its not for the faint of heart and probably relates to what some people describe as the dark night of the soul. Also I would have to go to the bathroom constantly, and the more I did the mantra the more constant it was. It got to a point when I was doing a 2 week long Zhunti retreat (nothing but Zhunti mantra all day every day) that I literally had to sit on the toilet and do the mantra because it was a not stop thing. I have also experienced weird skin blisters on the ends of my heart and lung meridians. I also become extremely sensitive to other peoples emotions and intentions. I also start having really odd "memories" of events that never happened in my life time. Also I would have a long string of bad luck when doing it in the past. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

silent thunder Posted April 15 For many years, i would stare loosely and unfocused at a blank wall in my practice area while playing qi gong, sitting zazen or zhan zhuang. Then one afternoon, Visions began to fill the space of the wall, incredibly vivid detailed snippets of (i assume) other's lives, moving snapshots of life would play out in full cinematic detail. One upon another. Entire scenes of seemingly random home life/work life. Never considered they may have been from my own past until reading this exchange... This persisted each time I engaged the wall with loosely focused eyes. It was as surprising as it was unsought and... in the end unwelcome. While charming and intriguing it was in the end mostrously distracting. So distracting because of course my western mind was pondering how these visuals could be arising with no input but a blank white wall. Also distracting because the storyteller wanted to continue the tales, or try to glean meaning from them. I traced the visuals back to a void practice I'd been compelled toward by my inner voice. Sitting in pitch black, eyes open for an extended period each day over many months, gave rise to intense open eyed visuals, but usually only geometric, never story based and never cinematic quality detailed scenes with context. This was wholly different and occuring in broad daylit rooms. The visions were never turbid, nor particularly alluring. They seemed precisely neutral and random looking back on it, never drama involved in them. A porch swing swaying in a breeze that ruffled the leaves of a bush. Hands drying dishes while looking out the window at children playing near a corn field... that kind of thing. I painted a large picture and hung it in that place and broke off the void work as it was unwelcome at the time. Perhaps it's time to revisit, something in this exchange rekindles an interest. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s quite weird. Me too, which is fun because I also "I am" a white cat with blue collar... Recalling other-life memories is an experience described in buddhism, it fits. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
