Ginseng

That was so amazingly beautiful!

I am learning a lot from your posts, thank you very much. This quote is enlightening to me, it explains many bad circumstances I have had in the past, in the sense that I would be looking for wrong reasons by why I was having a bad time, but I understand now that the reasons are irrelevant, what was wrong was a constant trance state, the reasons I was looking for were just nonsense inside the trance. By reading the post the insight clicked. Oh so glad I understand that. I almost got run over by cars in the streets and situations like that when I would fell in trance, especially trance driven by annoying entities. Thanks to you I could understant the trance itself was the problem, I will keep a very careful watch from now on. I am learning a lot in this forum. Very happy. Thanks.

Hi Star-Lord, Thank you so much. I feel safer now to continue the exercise. I guess I need confirmation, I am not quite the bold type of person, rather more careful than maybe I should. Thank you for taking the time to reply, I could not decide whether I would continue the experience but I am excited to do it now, see what the little spiral will make me feel ( it is too tiny right now to cause a reaction that I can perceive, but perhaps it might grow). I wish a nice weekend to you and everyone.

Nice to meet everyone, If anyone would be kind to answer, I need help about what is said in this topic, “sink” the Dan Tian. I have had chi coming out of my hands and chest, long ago was scary but now I can deal with it and even use it. While reading this topic, (google brought this page to me during an unrelated search), it came to my attention that I had no chi activity happening around my navel, so I followed the advices of “sinking” , which I understood as to relax and focus there. I made the exercise a couple of days and a tiny amount of chi gathered around the navel during the exercise, but I got puzzled. The reason is because the chi in the Dan Tian is entering my body instead of been expelled like in the hands and chest. The other reason is because the chi is entering in spirals instead of waves, as has always happened in the hands and chest. Is this right? I mean about the chi entering the body instead of going out, and moving in spirals instead of waves? Thank you so much for reading, and I would really be grateful about any insight on this, at least if this is a good thing to happen.

Hello, good evening Dao Bums, My name is Silvia, usename Ginseng ( love it). I found this web site searching google, I read some few posts and already got lots of help from them. I would be grateful if I could be accepted as part of this community. I have problems with chi since child, actually most of my life I have had chi flowing naturally and I used to get really scared ( I used to think my sould was going away and I would become empty, I totally misunderstood the idea, or feeling, of emptiness,and I am just starting to understand now). When younger I would close my hands very hard to stop the flow ( for fear) and I guess I did a lot of harm to health for doing that so many times, until I started practicing tai chi and and started to understand. I still have tons of doubts and still a long way to go before I can deal with chi, I really need help and advice on this, but mostly to be able to talk about it. I am really glad to find a place I can talk about this thing that come out of our hands and someone actually believe it exists. I don't have a religion, but I love the Tao Te Ching. I handwrited it to make the text close to my mind, and keep it always at hand. Not exactly as an advice book, but for the beauty of the text that gives me a sense of awe. Apart from that I don't really don't know a lot about Taoism. I am not sure this is a good introduction. Thank you so much for making this place where people can talk about this, Silvia
