allinone Posted September 24, 2017 29 minutes ago, Fool said: allinone, I don't refer to that area as terrible - in fact, it's one of the most important points in our body, it's the acupuncture point which connects all vessels/meridians together. It's the practice of pressing it what is terrible (at least it was for me). Even if one is experienced, there is still a serious danger if you don't press right...so be careful, I'm sharing my story and what happened to me, 2 years in pain, because of nothing, because of stupidity... So learn from my mistake. i have used that point so many times that i realised i don't get enough of it. In a spawn of many years. I doubt you can break the point what holds the semen back. There is same thing happen during sleep when that release happen mind knows how to stop it and during that process you come awake in succession and respectively also liquid comes out so during that time you naturally know how to use mind to hold it back so nothing get lost or very little. So if you do it manually it is a transition point of going into deactivating the doer as the pressure from hand can be then returned. So you then need wait till someone comes. It goes into realm you don't want to hear about(natural first denial reaction). For that you have helpers. With other channels doing the same thing, at some point can use mind to do the function via dreamlike space assessed via eyes. Using breath to get the substance derived from somatic feelings from body getting sympathetic. ----------- So basically you didn't read my first reply to you without having rejection in mind, so you expressed your rejection, so my openness got rebounded and i felt sick afterwards. So nothing out of the ordinary, that's the way things are done imo. You served me well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No worries, just be yourself. I tried to initially tell that i am still living after using that point. (what next said can be ignored because its pretty oftopic) I think sicknesses try to force you into correct way or feeling you need cultivate, so going through one and the same pains many times you will finally also see and know what to cultivate to go through making sickness going away triple fast. That weakness that i felt like starvation even if i eat food, and hard time doing anything physical is reoccuring to me, like you said a chronical thing, its much better for me now, i go very fast through that(hopefully saying that doesn't backfire and unleash a new weird weakness issue), i still recognize that place when it happen. But i have intensified other things. As of the "doer thing" its seem not so wide spread. But in buddhism there is lot of self and no-self talk. And simply hand we use to do things. There is channels what will be gone through and made known so next time can know more. Its cartoon simple like what shoulders do or elbow. For an example: Elbow is fear and anxiety, you can bend your hand and cover your eyes or spring push things away etc, shoulders are for rough push through and not being a coward and deciding to stand up to the pressures of life etc. Even talking to ou is same kind of meaning or principle.

Aeran Posted September 26, 2017 With respect to the people posting suggestions in this thread, my advice would be to avoid a grab-bag approach of trying different exercises recommended from different sources on the internet. I was in a loosely similar situation (not in terms of symptoms, but in terms of experiencing chronic health issues after a negative experience occurred during cultivation type practices) several years ago, and I made posts like this on multiple forums, and received pages of well meaning advice, and gained very little from any of it. I only started making progress once I had in-depth consultations with a few different experts, explained my situation and my wider circumstances in-depth, and then followed their treatments and advice. People mean well, but I honestly don't think enough information can be conveyed on an internet forum to allow anyone to successfully evaluate what might be wrong with you, let alone suggest a proper course of treatment. Good luck. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good luck. I agree, but that's the main problem - I went to all the "experts" and some of them are top doctors in their field of study (in several countries), I am always ending up going in circles - nothing can be identified, no diagnose, and I am in pain. That's exactly why I shared my story here, in hope that someone else might have experienced something similar and perhaps give some useful suggestions from their experience. Several cycles of physical therapy, acupuncture (not from TCM doctor though), all kinds of antibiotics (even though not a single infection has been identified) - literally NOTHING, so all that western medicine can offer me is painkillers, which I refuse to take. That's why I am running in circles, trying to find what actually happened, maybe I'm wrong and that point (jen-mo) has nothing to do with it, but one thing is certain - it all happened from a very strong cough, lasting for more than a month (happened 2 times). I also did press that point kinda harder during that coughing period. From a western medicine point of view, the only explanation might be that from the tension and pressure from coughing, some "scar tissues" (adhesions) have formed, which press on those nerves every time I do certain movements (such as sitting for the lower near-tailbone pain, and upper body movements or deep breathing for the upper pain [while exhaling]). From a Qigong Eastern Medicine point of view, I have some energy channel blockages (too much/too little chi in those areas). The problem is that no modern technology can identify adhesions, not even MRI - the only way to see them is through surgery, which always creates more adhesions, so I refuse to do it. Another traditional treatment is a nerve block, which I also refuse to take. So I have nowhere to go... this and similar forums, and their members, are my only hope. I see hope only in self-healing through Qigong and acupuncture from an experienced TCM doctor. Of course that I am careful, for example one good member shared a specific yoga exercise which might help (mahamudra) but after practicing I realized the pain is getting only stronger, because it stretches/irritates those nerves, so I stopped. Standing meditation so far has no side effect, and I feel that it's getting better from it. At least the central nervous system functions more properly, and the registered pain is decreased, even if nothing has changed from a physiological perspective (or perhaps it is changing..). I'll keep doing it. Thank you for the advice though, you're absolutely right and I will be cautious, but I have to continue doing this, because I want my old life back and there aren't that many options available to me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the suggestion Mudfoot, I absolutely agree about the holistic approach that's why I'm practicing a full program of essential Qigong exercises, including the standing meditation, the 6 healing sounds and couple of others. So far so good, I have a feeling that everything's going in a positive direction, though the pain is still there... The only side-effect from this is that sometimes it hurts when I breathe deeply while exhaling (for the upper pain), but that's when the nerves are really irritated, if I calm down and relax them for a couple of days, I can breathe slowly and normally.

Fool Posted September 28, 2017 On 9/27/2017 at 4:36 AM, Earl Grey said: I have three people to recommend. The first really good person to help is Eric Isen, a medical intuitive who can assess the problem at a distance and recommend some systems to practice or medication/tonics to take. He's helped many members here before, and is especially popular with those of us on the Flying Phoenix Qigong thread. Next, two of my teachers, John Dolic and Eric Randolph (also a member here), may be people you can look up as well. Shifu Dolic is a trained TCM doctor and can recommend some of the systems he teaches, whereas Sifu Eric's approach is to personally guide you not just to feeling better, but beyond illness and pain, although he will be very brutal to the ego and his training is not for the lighthearted. Feel free to PM me if you would like more details on those teachers, but the first person I think you should talk to first is Eric Isen. Thank you very much for your suggestions. I would definitely appreciate you introducing me to Eric Isen (perhaps via a group chat on this forum) I do have part of my mind being scientific and logical, and even though it's difficult for me to grasp the concept of remote scanning, I still believe in it, I understand that all is Mind, and I am ready to do it, of course, if Eric Isen is willing to consider my situation and try to help. I'd be also happy to meet with your two teachers if they believe my situation and condition might be something they can help with. I am ready to take all brutality from your Sifu Eric and let him beat me up like never before, just for this boring constant pain to go away (no kidding, I even read about this paida method ) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Accept the pain and work on strengthening the surrounding systems. It's paradoxical but sometimes in surrender there is peace and progress. No my friend. That is not an option for me. I refuse to accept it as a reality. The pain has to go away, sooner or later, and I will find a way. All my life I've been healthy and have served as a symbol for health for all friends, family and relatives around me. Without my health back, everything else is secondary, all other goals fade away. I anyway can't even focus on big things because the moment I get more excited and enthusiastic about something, I've got these 2 reminders yelling at me "slooow down cowboy". Because of this pain, I have to walk around with a silly pillow that I need to put under my buttock every time I sit - and a hundred more uncomfortable obligations... From one side, there is even something good about them, like the yin and the yang - they remind me of the importance of health and that without it, we can't be truly happy, regardless of how many other goals we achieve. But they have to go away. Period. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

phil Posted September 29, 2017 (edited) "Accepting" your pain and situation may not be a bad idea at all. Any blockage is built on the resistance of your energy-flows and accepting the situation and letting go will let your energy flow naturally. I just read an interesting paragraph.. "If you have physical problems, concentrate instead upon the healthy portions of your body and the unimpeded functions that you have. In the healthy areas, your beliefs are working for you. As I mentioned, inner sounds are extremely important. Each of the atoms and molecules that compose your body has its own reality in sound values that you do not hear physically." The Nature of Personal Reality, Jane Roberts Inner sounds do not mean acoustic-physical sounds, but a kind of energy that can be translated as sound, mostly originating from thoughts and emotions. However, meditation and chanting "OM"(can be silently, with inner intent) has also a direct healing effect on cells/meridians. This ain't no physical approach in that sense, but the inner attitude is at least equal important imo.
