SEH2 Posted December 2, 2017 Hello everyone, I had the pleasure to partially attend Sifu Terry class in October in the Eastover retreat... It was there for something else... when I discovered FP qigong and bought all the dvds and started to practice back at home.... I had several health issues I have been dealing with so I have dedicated most of my time to seated meditations... I feel amazing and now when I do my practice of vol 2 cd the first 3 exercises, during very short periods of time I can feel moments of total emptyness and a wholeness at the same time I never felt before in my life... it feels like a trance, I get scare of the feeling like I am not conscious that I inmediately activate my mind... is this normal considering I have never done qigong or other practices before and I am so new? I have done yoga for a long time and also practice mindful meditation regularly. I enjoy the FP practice as I experience moments where I let go of everything. I think in my short practice of FP I have improved at least my mental state and I feel much stronger to manage my physical symptomps which have improved a lot too. I have read many of your post and I feel inspired... thank you and looking forward to growth my FP practice! Sandra 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thelerner Posted December 4, 2017 Good to have more FP practitioners here. While its one of oldest and longest running threads, it's a practice that's rarely mentioned outside of a single discussion. It'd be nice for that to change. I'd love to see more threads discussing its practice and philosophy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
