waterdrop Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) would like to hear opinions of people here about qi accumulation VS qi flowing some question to get talk going : is it about gather as much qi in the body as possible ? is it never about qi accumulation really just about clearing the channel so we have as much qi flowing in us at all times ? the more qi the better ? how much qi flowing in us is too much ? in exercises where you push qi out of body ... do you lose that qi ? if during the day i do a number of "pushing" qi movements slowly with feeling qi in hand - do i lose that chi ? sex ,masturbation effect via the flowing out look ? eating food that is "high in chi" brings more chi into the body ? is that just the view of accumulation and food doesnt matter in the flowing point of view ? does chi from my enviorment enter the body ? than can wind bring a lot of qi into my body which seems like a good thing ? can being in water be a good thing ? maybe actually someone place with huge amounts of chi are in it and you just go there and suck it all up into your body - accumulate it feng shui effect in this two views ? can being in a house with a lot of qi flow be a good thing ? can you make a house with feng shui which has extremely good feng shui which you practice in it for a month and you reach enlightenment ?

That post has way too many questions, and someone could write a book about some of those things, like I did Some of the questions are very good from my point of view. Maybe you could get some answers if you edit out most of those questions and save them for one at a time for different threads. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wind doesn't do it, in fact wind is said to blow the chi away and is best to no practice in wind*, wind masks the necessary feeling of chi that you need to advance, and it is also distracting. * Unless someone is doing a chi kung specifically to get rid of sick energy ... which I guess a lot of chi kung is these days, everyone being so sick and all.

rideforever Posted March 29, 2020 Another question is about qi accumulation vs being immortal. Many athletes have high qi in their bodies and perish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are two layers of body. One is 表 surface. Another is 裡 inside. 表 includes the skin, muscle, 三焦 the water path in our body. 裡 includes Viscera. Viscera can be divided into two part: 腑 and 臟. 臟 includes five elements: heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney. 臟 decide our life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
