JC1thru5 Posted December 1, 2014 Hello Everyone! I am new here. I was introduced to Qigong several years ago but never followed through with it because I wasn't getting any results. Can I learn Qigong here or is this forum strictly for experienced practitioners sharing their own experiences with one another? Thanks for your help, JC1thru5 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JC1thru5 Posted December 3, 2014 Hello Everyone, Several years ago I was taught a Taoist standing meditation. It was a difficult qigong that I practiced. I was instructed to increase the standing by one minute a day until I reached 30 minutes. As a result, all my meridians in the lower extremities opened up and I became extremely flexible. Recently, I practiced this qigong again, but this time I went up 20 seconds a day instead because it was difficult for me. Also, my head got very hot and my heart was pounding like crazy. I had to stop after two months because I started get light headed and I noticed my blood pressure went up. My energy has been drained and I don't have enough Yin to keep the heat down. I know my energy has been reversed, I have heat in the upper burner and cold in the lower burner. I am looking for a standing Qigong that will open up all the blockages in the body, build up the yin and yang energy and of course fill up the lower dantien completely. I have severe hearing loss amongst other problems and really need some training. Can someone suggest a qigong that I can practice? Thanks 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aetherous Posted December 3, 2014 Qigong for Self Healing will help over time (it's in the store section of that site). This method helps our bodies deal with the extra energy, and also causes the qi flow to make your feet warm and your heart and head cool, lowering blood pressure. Totally works.Also be sure to drink more water throughout the day, since that's a source of yin and body fluids...and consider seeing a Chinese Medicine practitioner. It can also help to spend time truly relaxing and not needing to do anything, each day. This forum is not strictly for experienced people, all are welcome!
