senseless virtue Posted November 26, 2017 Hi. Been doing qigong for a while, but it became obvious that it's not everything what I need, despite the fact that it worked quite well on health. Something felt missing. Recently I came across a school of Tantric Buddhism and Dzogchen which really felt like coming home. No looking back anymore. My current interests are in finding authentic Daoist elixir and alchemy methods. I believe this place is a good place to look around. kempomaster's lowkey announcement of a forthcoming Stillness-Movement Neigong course got me particularly hooked. Really looking forward to learning the system. I have a slight interest for internal martial arts, but I am looking for something outside of standard playing with qi and empty force, e.g. developing higher awareness and dandao. Is there anything authentic out there? Any tips are welcome. Thanks for reading. - v - 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi virtue, Is it possible that when a person has yet to find herself/himself, there will always be - "something felt missing"? 5 hours ago, virtue said: Recently I came across a school of Tantric Buddhism and Dzogchen which really felt like coming home.

Are you taking a detour from going home? 5 hours ago, virtue said: I have a slight interest for internal martial arts, but I am looking for something outside of standard playing with qi and empty force, e.g. developing higher awareness and dandao. What is internal martial arts? "Something outside"? Aren't you - "a bum on the way home"? 5 hours ago, virtue said: Is there anything authentic out there? IT is inside you - the REAL virtue. Welcome. - LimA 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thelerner Posted November 26, 2017 I've enjoyed and gotten much practical use from taking a Stillness Movement seminar with Ya Mu. I'm sure Kempomaster will be a great teacher. You may want to look into KAP (https://www.kundaliniawakeningprocess.com/blog/kap-interactive-online-learning/) It's a eclectic blend of gi gung and martial arts. Here's a thread by one of its teachers. You can look up there youtubes also. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
