CrunchyChocolate555 Posted February 15, 2013 Hey guys, Since my K popping, I have had enormous issues with energy remaining stuck inside my head. Feelings of *intense* pressure in my head, sinus problems, teeth pain, jerkiness, irritability and anger.. I have tried doing the MCO but since my front channel isn't completely opened and I can't access my lower Dan Tien too well due to liver qi stagnation, a large amount always remains stuck in my head.. I started reading Mantak Chia's MCO book (Awakening the Healing Energy) for clues on how to work around this, and it seems that REVERSING the flow of the MCO and rerouting it through the legs and back up the front channel could do the trick. I tried doing that today and it did seem to help, but it is still very frustrating because there doesn't seem to be a "release" valve to just flush it all out in one shot. So there's never a clear sign that I'm moving things in the right direction. I got a bit worried too when Chia mentionned that if energy remained stuck there it could cause physical and emotional damage, so I believe the need to fix this is quite dire. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.. PS: Would regular qigong/taichi practice help fix this issue..? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
suninmyeyes Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) You have to learn how to sink . This is how I learned it, the actual technique is on page 157 I think. From : Hakuin 's -- Precious Mirror Cave http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=L0CeQ1o4NpIC&pg=PA144&lpg=PA144&dq=Naikan+techniques+hakuin&source=bl&ots=gQN6fcnCRw&sig=URu6HTxD_rnh4G0d6ZJq-qfyjTc&hl=en&sa=X&ei=ZoweUeDsMIj14QSl2IDoCA&ved=0CFoQ6AEwBg#v=onepage&q=Naikan%20techniques%20hakuin&f=false Hakuin was very ill and suffered from what he termed zen sickness and managed to cure himself with this technique.

Harmonious Emptiness Posted February 15, 2013 You might try dandelion leaf tea to help cleanse the liver. Every once in while I make some dandelion/sage/lemongrass/oatstraw tea for extra nutrients and cleansing. It's pretty mild but it's nice. For a bit of a mood boost sometimes I'll also add licorice root and peppermint. "jerkiness, irritability and anger" yup, liver symptoms. 8 section brocade is good to massage all the organs with all the twisting and deep breathing. It gets some stagnant chi out that can cause irritation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Birch Posted February 16, 2013 I hope this might help. I found I was 'over-lasering' it as far as practice (if dissolving) was concerned, and with yi-lead qi-gong in general. And when I approached 'mindfulness' I was suppressing. Liver wasn't happy at either. Softly softly catchee tiger:-) But joking apart, our diets and environments and lifestyles don't help the LIV. So I cut way back on things that harm LIV, like alcohol, and overwork. And also worked/working on anger and 'power' issues. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aetherous Posted February 16, 2013 If you can afford a craniosacral therapy session that will be one thing that can help in the rough beginning stages of this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harmonious Emptiness Posted February 16, 2013 The self-massage in Light Warrior's Guide to High Level Energy Healing (Stillness Movement lineage/Michael Lomax) is to bring energy down to avoid just the problem your describing. It's only $10 for kindle to read on your computer or smart phone (if you're in the States (no pun intended)). Considering the potency of the healing power of this lineage, I'd say it's possibly your best bet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
