Where is cultivated chi stored and how do you get it there?

[Aletheia]

I am going to copy this pretty much from the first post I made earlier and add a little to the end. I hope that's ok!

 

 

Hello.

 

I think I've only got one more post today so I'm going to type out some stuff here just in case this turns out to be my only post!

 

I have been into philosophy/esoteric/mysticism/mythology for a few years and recently found out about qigong! I went through Jung, Western alchemy, dream analysis and Heidegger's pre-Socratic oral/acoustic truths, which are immanent as opposed to the static one-to-one correspondence theory of Western metaphysics -- veritas est adaequatio rei et intellectus -- left-brain matching, rather than making i.e. propositions!

 

Anyway, to cut a long story short, my waking experiences can be pretty vivid, always more than pleasantly so to say the least.

 

So, I wasn't planning on getting started with qigong until I had some baseline knowledge under my belt. But 5 days ago I went celibate and started doing shaking knees horse stance and wim hof quick fire breathing if ever sexual ideas drifted into waking consciousness, then some anal breathing.

 

Well, today I was reading a book while doing reverse breathing and moving the heat around the lower mind. Then pumped it up to the top of my ass, and I actually had my eyes shut at the time, then I thought maybe I ought to try the orbit. So I moved it up the spine and into my head.. and the crown of my head, above my eye-brows right around my head, felt like warm liquid!

 

Right then I was wondering what I should do next and I realised I had no idea, So I opened my eyes and the room was vivid with bright colours and I wasn't really sure if I was awake or asleep! I thought about moving the energy down the front. But I don't think it happened tbh. 

 

As I said I wasn't planning on getting started so I don't really know what I'm doing. But, now after two reverse breathes everything in the lower mind gets REALLY HOT. So I pump it up to the top of my ass and that's it, I stop there.

 

I am wondering what I should be doing. Maybe some standing stuff? Has anyone got some pointers or ideas?

 

ADDED BELOW:

 

So it feels like there's A LOT of energy in the lower mind, no pain or anything. I can pump it up to the lower back and it gets hot at that spot, but then it goes back down again. Should I move it someplace to store somewhere or move it back into the head, for get about it, carry on reverse breathing?!??

 

Thanks for the help!

I am wondering what I should be doing. 

 

hm... your options...

1. make rain/stop rain

2. release all sentient beings from suffering...

3.create/destroy all the worlds/universes...

 

what else could you possibly do with energy?

Where is the energy stored?

A river has energy but doesn't store it.

 

That's what I've become,no storing beyond what accumulates naturally.

Practice breathing in energy,feel it,but release it to ground,the flow.

 

That's my practice breathing no storing.

That and the occasional Om if feeling a little tense.

 

Chanting Om continues to enchant me,the first Om nearly always makes me laugh feeling self conscious.

If you proceed the sound is so complete,tunes every organ,relaxes,there is no mind.

 

When walking even after just a few hundred meters energy accumulates in the hands a bit.

Celibacy and fasting seem to increase energies which is good for getting chores done.

 

Mindfulness is not quite constant and never far away.

Smiling and listening seem to also to gather energies.

Which energy do you mean? There are various energies and dynamics of qi that works on different level, organs.

----> agree

 

When you cultivate, you are making more rivers in your body
