markern Posted March 7, 2023 I have injured my spine a bit and now get pains doing the brocades, which I was practicing, and planning to continue to practice. I've tried a few five animals forms of Youtube and a couple of others but have so far gotten a bit of pain from all of them. I am looking for a form that is between 5-15 min long. Longer than that and my chi deviation issues will flare up and that involves very little movement of the spine, especially backwards. Preferably something "all round" that works all the five elements/five organ energies rather than something targeted at something very specific. It is also good if it involves some degree of gentle stretching but it does not have to. I basically need something that helps balance my energy overall, won't aggravate my chi deviation but helps ground and don't give me spinal pains. Does anyone have ideas for forms that could fit this description and that I can find on Youtube? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mithras Posted March 7, 2023 Keep throwing rocks down your spine and say it fell in water instead. Do this until you are observed by subspace lords. Then learn “swallow across three plains” or consider a salt heavy diet till you remember a cultivation manual that suits your liking. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really don’t know what can be better than this, all this trash is not even qigong. Only a lazy prince could learn qigong, all these masters are like dogs barking with red tongues. Look at the mundanity, the lack of spice in these animals who only like to bark. When a lazy prince practices qi gong, qi cannot be avoided; it’s death is natural. Qigong is a satire of judgement, dao and all this other nonsense of listening; Who even gave the advice that one should develop the senses and movements. When a lazy prince moves his finger, blades of grass don’t move around him. This is qi-gong. In comparison all these odd men and dogs still bark about capacity and movement. There is not a trace of qi in the environment only piglike divinities; Men who develop sensitivity truly have no hope of nobility. Truthfully you’re better off showing malice towards divinity; even animals are rewarded for this. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sheng Qi Posted March 10, 2023 I would suggest Lifting The Sky. It's said to be a very holistic exercise with only a very gentle stretch. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Came across a standing version of the brocades yesterday that looks like it will be gentler on my spine so am going to try that too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
