Is there a best system to use to develop microcosmic orbit.
Republic Of Zen replied to norbu's topic in Daoist Discussion
There might be a temple or a dude somewhere better than Mantak Chia but he has so much material you can get online. Got a spare 3hours 40mins? *edit* This links to a long playlist. -
Energy becomes agitated during inner smile and microcosmic orbit
Republic Of Zen posted a topic in Daoist Discussion
Hi, I like doing my qigong in the morning followd by the inner smile and microcosmic orbit. About a third of the time I become agitated and I cant focus. It is hard for me to still the mind and do the excercises at the sametime. Last time it happened I tried to just sit still but at this stage my energy was going out of control and making me move about. Basically my question is, how do you stop your mind running off and making you stop your meditation? My teacher, who I wont see for another moth, follows mantak chias tradition. -
Attaining Emptiness - constant Reduction?
Republic Of Zen replied to 4bsolute's topic in General Discussion
The majority of your body is made of empty space. Feel this emptyness. You have a specific part of your brain that senses emptyness. The more aware of emptines you become, the more vibrant small amounts of energy become. -
I woke up two sundays ago with a pain in my lower back. The pain goes a little then comes back and I dont understand what I am doing that makes it better or worse. I am trying spinal cord breathing and I cant tell if that helps or not. I also cant identify if it is my sacrum or coccyx. It is this lumpy bone above the crack of ass. It hurts sitting or bending over. Any advice? Any video instructions to massage it myself? Any meditations? Tea? Route I am thinking is taking nurofen and going for a medical massage tomorrow.

I've started taking Panadol, which makes the pain go away. Taking extra time out this evening to do qigong and taichi, going to keep my attention on the pain while doing it. I intend on spening the weekend making love so i am going to look up possitions.

When I do my iron shirt qigong with extra focus on my sore areas, only stretching it so I am only aware of the discomfort and staying in yin stance it feels better. Going out about with fiends such as dancing in bars hurts. But yesterday I sat upright for 3 hours and my back was fine. I going keep super attention to my posture. I was making long hard and vigourous loving making last night which seemed to hurt my back afterwards. I dotn know what possisitions are good for back pain. My taoist teacher told there was some but I am not seeign him for another 6 weeks.

I am wandering about Europe from August onwards. I'll be stopping in zen monasteries to find a place to live. But I can be convinced to practice taoism in a temple somewhere. Does anyone know any in Europe to train as taoist priest? I'm giving up mundane life. I have been practicing the tradition of mantak chia which is associated with Dragons Gate Taoism. I am not aware of away to get to Asia but I can try.

Myself, my friend and his wife are touring Europe living in the back of a car. We have little money so will be checking out sustainable living communities. Spending a lot of time with the Rainbow Gatheirng of the Family of Light. I'll be spending a week in a zen monastery so I can compare lifestyle choices. I would stick to living in Dublin city if I didnt have to work in an office. It takes about 40mins to get to wilderness and I have a lot of spiritual friends, but the mundane culture is too over powering. I find it difficult to relax around these drunk violent apes that insist they make rules for me to live by.
-
That is sound advice. I am escaping the office to live nature from August onwards. A temple would just help boost chi excercises.

"In the West, people often look down upon such magic as manipulative" Most people dont believe in magic. "people are often willing to use love magic to find or return a lover as well" Not true at all. "We are all taught what to believe, what is right and wrong, from when we are little. " I have no memory of being taught what is right or wrong as a child. "What takes place when we use pusanga is not a direct change in other people, but a change in ourselves." Placebo effect. Not magic. This OP has nothing to do with free will. I experience choice, hence believe in free will.

What is Qi and Jin with Scientific Explanation -- Parallel Thread
Republic Of Zen replied to dwai's topic in Daoist Discussion
I am told by my teacher that a certain excise increases my earch chi. I am told a scientist that certain excise increases the negative charged ions in my body. I deduce that earth chi is negatively charged ions. Tao in the face! -
lack of gogling skills. you're not helping.

I gave him twenty minutes to me over. Fine he gives good advice. It dose matter if he isnt speaking to aliens because that is lying.
-
You still have to prove to me that aliens exist.

I really hate it when people keep suggetsing I use Google. It is very rude. The monastery I am visting I found through recommadtion. "Googling" things doesnt nessicary lead to getting answers.
-
I'll give watching his videos a shot if I can. But my skepticism will sort of dilute his message.
-
I dont know what taoism got to do with aliens. I'm an opened bloke though.

Yeah there is phrase for that in Buddhism. You meditate. Your minds gets rest and then has more energy to bother you. -

I had this problem for months.Hence I moved from tantra to tao. Microcosmic orbit does the trick. -
