apdo Posted March 1, 2021 (edited) hi guys thanks for accepting me I am kinda new here since I noticed I was allowed to post recently I am 23y old since I was around 14 I liked martial arts and chi and started training alone since I had no master I searched across all net and found some forms talk about chi I started that training although I wasn't training spot in internal arts like external since I wasn't even sure it's true I achieved some nice things in internal and could do some stuff would make me and other amazed that I even felt I am talnted plus I am kinda smart then I joined gym for martial arts and was the same until I met someone in an qiqong group in Kik showed me most all I knew about chi was wrong and what I do and I understood I have to build foundation and when search and got some nice books I knew I need to recover my yuan qi then use it with stillness to build Dan Tien the book was so good explained most of stuff but to be honest u need a master to ask aside from book some stuff when u do u will need to ask and thanks wish seniors could help me I have alot of questions and inquiries and wish we share our experiences and thanks Edited March 1, 2021 by apdo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cleansox Posted March 1, 2021 Yes. If you want to build a foundation for nei dan, getting some formal instruction in a qigong system might be a good start. That would be an excellent way of clearing the vessels, which paves the way for more advanced work. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
apdo Posted March 1, 2021 That what I thought too I wish people here help me and instruct me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cleansox Posted March 1, 2021 Yepp, one just did. 😁 Find a teacher, preferably live but some advocate online schools as well. If that teacher also teaches nei dan, that would ease things in the long run. Or not, since nei dan is a rather confusing area of study. Forums are not schools, and if you roam this site you will see that we contradict each other quite a lot, meaning that getting instructions here would be rather confusing. But, if you want to: 1) Regulate your breath. 2) Regulate your body. 3) Regulate your mind. That should do it. So, back to plan A? Any acceptable teachers in your 'hood?

apdo Posted March 1, 2021 If there was I would join long ago like I did with martial arts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
apdo Posted March 1, 2021 About that too I got alot of experience asking around searching in web for years and even got some niedan books but there is some areas not there it's when you do the thing yourself everyone have his own experience and mistakes so I would need masters to ask to help overcome those things help guild me etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RiverSnake Posted March 1, 2021 (edited) Basic exercise for chi cultivation start off 5-10 minutes a day. Gradually increase according to comfort. You also may wish to pursue some root work. Edited March 1, 2021 by RiverSnake 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
apdo Posted March 1, 2021 Yeah I know that start with trance dance with moving of yin and Yang to build yin qi but as I said always there is small things between that would confuse me that I would use feeling when I don't fully understand and thanks for help man much appreciated 🤝 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cleansox Posted March 2, 2021 10 hours ago, apdo said: Yeah I know that start with trance dance If you want to start with this, you might want to pursue a path more compatible with that? There are excellent methods related to shamanistic traditions that includes trance dance and shaking movements to develop energy and spirit. There used to be a poster here who developed his unique approach to this practice, and since we live in an "anything goes" world, that might be an option. If there are no local teachers, the next question would be: How are your finances? Would you be limited to free material, or can you join an online school? If the later is an option, Damo Mitchell's Lotus Neigong is really popular these days. If finances is an issue, Adrian Chan-Wyles Qianfeng Daoism UK does claim that they doesn't charge for teaching, instead I believe that he reserve the right to pick whom to teach (that's a guess though). This is the Taoist Yoga lineage... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
apdo Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) I just ended my army days ago and don't have a job yet so finances is a problem ATM but I am trying with what I have in my hands I will check Qianfeng Daoism UK tho Edited March 2, 2021 by apdo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As in: There are huge differences between different schools, so you have to give more information about the practice you are interested in. Edited March 2, 2021 by Cleansox Added stuff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
apdo Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) The idiots guild to Taoist alchemy qiqong and ancient advanced acoustic alchemy 2018 both almost have same stuff but each one describe. More stuff not on other and I am interested in niedan best thing near what I am looking for Edited March 2, 2021 by apdo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cleansox Posted March 2, 2021 Then you should contact Drew Hempel aka @voidisyinyangwho has created that specific method by mixing stuff from different cultures in a very creative way. I do not think anyone else is qualified to aid you in that specific method. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cleansox Posted March 2, 2021 It's nice to be able to help 😁 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
voidisyinyang Posted March 2, 2021 yes to feel the Yuan Qi then you can get phone healings from Chunyi Lin http://springforestqigong.com or his former teaching assistant Jim Nance http://guidingqi.com I personally overused my energy doing too much free psychic healing. But I do have a lot of free research online. Glad you found it useful. thanks, Those two books sources you mentioned are my best written sources online for training. I sent you the link for my video uploads - but I am just talking - so it is still a bit too abstract. haha. I do have a good youtube playlist though for qi demonstrations.
