Toronto Movement Coach & Buddhist Meditator (Shinzen/TMI/Alan Wallace) seeks Taoism and Qi Gong

[StudentofMovement]

I'm new to this forum. 

 

I'm interested in learning more about Taoism, but particularly Qi Gong and want to start a basic, simple practice to work my subtle body and actually feel chi, because I'm skeptical. 

 

I've read Tao Te Ching and some Zhuang Zi, but that's about it. Most youtube instruction on Qi Gong isn't clear to me about what to focus on.

 

How should I best approach this and navigate the forums? Any resources recommended?

Hello, StudentofMovement, and welcome.

 

Your membership is approved and we're happy you found your way to us. We look forward to accompanying you on some of the way that you still have to go.

 

Please take the time to read the post pinned at the top of this Welcome page and take a look at the forum Terms and Rules.   This covers all you need to know when getting started.

 

For the first week you will be restricted to ten posts per day but after that you can post as much as you like. Also, until you’ve posted fifteen times in the forums, you’ll be a “Junior Bum” with somewhat restricted access and will be allowed only two private messages per day.

 

Good luck in your pursuits and best wishes to you,

Hi StudentofMovement,

 

We have many qigong teachers and practitioners here, and lots of threads about it.  You can use the "Search" function on the upper right hand corner, and type in "qigong" to get you started.

 

Being a practitioner of "qi" related things, I can say the biggest place to start is learning to RELAX.  The more you can relax during a qigong practice, the more you'll feel.

 

Good luck, and I'm sure you'll find many good resources here to get you started.

 

You are welcome to jump right in to the ongoing discussions, revive an older thread, start a new thread of your own, or start a discussion in the "Newcomer Corner" sub-forum to expand on your introduction or ask general questions to help you get started.

 

May you enjoy your time here.

 

Fa Xin

Hi Student,

 

Welcome!

 

Lots of energy work discussions here.  And discussions of Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu.  Many still current and on-going.
