gekko Posted January 27, 2023 Out of curiosity, had anybody here tried the Six Healing Sounds? It was something I read about when I first found out about Qigong, but most teachers and people I spoke to dismissed it as a beginners practice. It's something I'm curious about. I like the idea of something that purges the liver in particular, as I think most of my issues stem from liver qi being severely blocked (and subsequent spleen deficiency). Cheers 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They did a lot to release the trapped emotions of each organ which could be a bit overwhelming at times which is why I don't know if I would call it helpful, but it was effective at cleaning out the organs. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lukks Posted January 28, 2023 ''The particular method may not be a good fit based on your karma. '' Hey @steve, do you mind elaborating more on this item? I found it very interesting, never tought that someone's karma could have an impact in their practice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your ability to respond well to a teaching through physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual interaction depends on your karma - your conditions, your predilections and preferences, your attributes, geography, language… every factor you can imagine. All of that is an expression of karma. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In some teachings it’s said that Buddha taught 84,000 methods because there are so many unique needs of sentient beings [based on their karma]. I take from this that there is no one path that works for everyone. We need to stay open to what we are able to connect with, be honest with ourselves and be prepared for change. 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
exorcist_1699 Posted February 22, 2023 (edited) Whether your qigong cultivation or other spiritual cultivation : sitting there pay attention to dantian , maintaining some postures or movements, or just chanting some words ..etc good or not really depends on the following principle , not how long a time you have practiced it : That qi and jing we gain and accumulate every day from it should be more than the quantity of qi and jing we lose ; notice that sitting still , moving ,chanting , focusing , all make us lose some energy ( jing and qi , concretely speaking ) , and as most qigong claim anti-aging , even reversing it , so they should be able to fight against it and materialize it quick . A cultivation , within a period of time , likely not too long say within one week , should make our body feel more energetic , our mind sharper , our emotions more placid ...; anything unable to give us these effects, we have to look into it again , and maybe abandon it ..
