waterdrop Posted May 18, 2020 When i learned zhineng qigong they talked about how they were an "open system" and if i understood correctly it means its taking energy from the universe (and giving it too ?) and soo its safter than the other systems which are mostly "closed systems" who deal with the micro orbit they said that closed systems for years work on cleaning the body and than after years when they finally "open up" than because its suddenly they can get problems like bleeding from eyes and death etc ... unlike zhineng qigong that from the start connects to the universe energy would like to hear peoples view of this topic - maybe i will get better understanding of it from that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sebastian Posted May 18, 2020 I'll share something then.... About how open and closed systems can go together to draw in energy. From my experience, you need to be Song and relaxed before you can draw in Qi from the outside, optimally at least. Another way to say this is you need to be empty before you can be filled. So let's say you're doing a closed approach first. You first Song the tissues in the target body area where you want to draw in Qi. Tangibly, Song for me it fees like "creating space", "loosening" emptying out of blockages. Then if you follow the open system approach, you take that relaxed part of your body and subtly emit the intent to draw energy in, from the outside environment. This formula: "Song target area of body + draw in outside Qi in to target area" is from my Master's Master, which I guess you could say comes from an open system, but a system that still understands body mechanics. I think some people might say only the first part of that formula matters, and 2) would happen automatically or is not needed. You can argue either way, but Song seems to be the crucial component. Anyways, just some of my ideas for the conversation. I don't think open and closed is cut that dry... but I may be wrong ! 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
