Lightseeker Posted July 19, 2018 Hello all. I am new to this forum, and would like to introduce myself. I have an interest in meditation, and have been doing Kriya yoga for many years. I recently found about about nei kung and look forward to learning more! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really you could be a little more direct in your approach of simplicity. Maybe add some technical terms and confusion to soften the blow? maybe like nei kung is strictly physical forms were as neidan is formless and includes all movements. you know mystify it a little bit, keep people interested. I meditated and I was Buddhist so I talked like this or I meditated and I was Taoist and I talked like this and then go off on a Arosimth song and sing walk this way, walk this way. Just a suggestion and i am not judging you, just saying 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marblehead Posted July 21, 2018 Funny. I know it's the truth but it's not me. Me be empty-minded meditation. Sit down (get the body comfortable) and shut up (the mouth and the mind). And once you have forgotten "self" what more is needed in order to return to One? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
