ShenLung Posted December 24, 2012 (edited) http://www.amazon.co...56346742&sr=8-2 Thanks, Ish, I'll add it to my shopping list ... I checked out that video GMP put up, but all I saw was an effect, not an explanation of the breathing technique. Heh, 200+ degrees is fairly impressive, I've only managed to swing a 60 degree differential thus far, and only in cold weather at that. Of course, that could have been NaOH solution with H2O that Zhou put on the foil, which would explain the heat .. I don't think they were taking the temp of the labour points in the palms.

Jetsun Posted December 24, 2012 Vase breathing is a new term for me ... where is a good place to go for an explanation? Vase Breathing and Tummo are not exactly the same things. This is a good explanation of the Vase Breathing technique http://www.cebtm.net/Subtle%20Body%20Tsoknyi%20Rinpoche.pdf which is very easy to do. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sadly, since this is already something that I do, it does not advance my knowledge But at least I know what term to give it when attempting to explain, thank you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
寒月 Hanyue Posted March 1, 2013 Always found Master Nan Huai Chin interesting Read his books, or if you can stomach them, Bodri's for explanations of the nine bottled wind practices. Previous threads; http://thetaobums.com/topic/72-the-infamous-9-bottle-wind/ http://thetaobums.com/topic/11314-the-9-bottled-wind-pranayam/ Khumbaka and anapanasati are different and should both be explored according to the Tibetan Buddhist teachings I know (not that I know that much). The "reverse" breathing, ala the Daoist practices I was taught, is different. But then there are many practices going under the name. Same with "Tummo", and "vase" breathing many many versions all under one name. Best, 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qijack Posted March 2, 2013 Reverse breathing is part of my shaolin qigong form I practice. There are 5 excersises and aim to do 49 reverse breaths per excersise. Not easy to accomplish but if you do manage to get to that level while still maintaining a fully relaxed disposition you will get great benifets, so my teacher tells me. I find reverse breathings is more efficient to extract energy from the air per breath Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
