salaam123 Posted July 12, 2022 In regarding the Damo Mitchell's MCO course, is the breathing the same with men and women? Thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MetaDao Posted July 12, 2022 (edited) Yes. Women actually have a unique energy system so there are women specific practices. Used to be women-specific lineages for Nu Dan(Female version of Neidan), however the writings for this are basically lost. Largely though, the practices remain the same as of now. Breathing is pretty constant. I recommend you read Damo’s books and join his academy to learn more. You shouldn’t really work on MCO without all the qualities that lead up to it. You need to establish the correct quality of breathing, which is the same for both men and women. Edited July 12, 2022 by MetaDao Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

salaam123 Posted July 12, 2022 thanks all. I am a man but I was thinking about if I'd teach that breathing technique to my mother. Since I told her to breath from all four sides of her midsection in 2015 and she has now intense back pain. I regret greatly teaching her that, but she seemed weak from the back at that time and I wanted to help. So I am thinking if I should teach her that method, maybe it could help her. Doctors can't. She is in agony most of the day. I didn't plan to teach her anything else, just the breathing method. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed. Could just be a condition and not breathing technique. I’d imagine it would be hard to sit and practice anchoring the breath with intense pain. Qi gong and things like this could help but it may be more of a traditional doctor situation that needs treatment. Massage, acupuncture, physical therapy, medical treatment, etc. Hope all goes well 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
