Gerard Posted February 26 Liver Yang rising caused by Kidney Yin deficiency. I suggest you seeing a TCM practitioner with herbal qualifications in order to flush your system from excess heat. If you regularly stay up late this will exacerbate the problem, which itself was caused by lifestyle habits like study, work, computer use, partying, etc. during the late night, wee hours and right up to sunrise. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When you meditate (especially lower dantien meditation) you are converting jing from the food you eat into qi. Less jing to convert = less qi. Before I meditate in the morning I have some beef broth.

Good diet and good health will give you the best results for qi cultivation. When you are sick or unhealthy your body is too busy using your jing and qi to heal instead of it being used for cultivation. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gerard Posted February 26 OK you are quiet during the Wood hours. But also check your: 1. Diet 2. Other Lifestyle factors: how much you think during the day as this indicates level of Wood activity and excess Wood leads to excessive Fire (Liver Yang rising); stress levels, living at full throttle which also lead to excessive Fire. 3. Sexual activity 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's almost as if he didn't just search up the organ clock and post it in here to get clarification on the term "wood hours." Also I no longer am The Esteemed Venerable Sovereign Master Solo Cultivator, I gave up on teaching and sharing my unique knowledge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gerard Posted March 2 Yes but also take into a/c the Lower Jiao time (Wood-Liver is active too as it's one of the organs involved), 11pm-midnight (not pictured). Basically from 11pm till sunrise and a few hours past that time Wood is still strong (basically around 9am). This explains why Theravada Buddhist monks don't eat any solid meals until 10am to be safe as they obviously practice retention due to celibacy. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gerard Posted March 2 Not only that but bear in mind what WOOD entails: The main function of the liver is to regulate the movement of Qi within the 'body.' This regulatory function is essential for the physiological actions of all organ systems. If this is the case that only means one thing: Practice should be 24/7 One must learn to be calm all the time Remember the nick of one of the three Taoist elders depicted in the book "Opening the Dragon Gate: The making of a modern Taoist wizard?" The Master of Absolute Serenity I wonder why? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
idiot_stimpy Posted April 2 Possible the internal wind energies is causing some friction and resulting in heat. I would think heat during mediation is a good sign, as it can mean energy is moving. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
