RiverSnake Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) Funny I was going to mention Bardon, but I see your already involved in it. Taking up a daily alchemical practice will definitely compliment the IIH curriculum. Welcome to TTB and best of luck in your spiritual pursuits.

RiverSnake Posted April 5, 2016 (edited) Like many I've dabbled in it, got frustrated and left it (revisiting every once in awhile for inspiration and tech). I found simple methods are more suited to me. The overly structured nature of it was a bit too much. Â Chi kung filled in a lot of holes that just can't be expressed in words. Looking back I understand Bardon's work a lot better and what he was trying to convey...but coming to it as a beginner with no gnosis under my belt It was like swimming in the middle of the ocean trying to look for land.

RiverSnake Posted April 5, 2016 (edited) Stillness-Movement and Gift of the Tao is a type of chi kung that has been most influential for my practice. You still gotta train your ass off, but the methods are simple so you don't have to struggle with the exercises and you see results pretty quickly. You can find plenty of threads on Stillness-Movement and Gift of the Tao on this site. Links below. PM me if you have anymore questions.
