    Update:

    So, I did the 2 hour intro class to meditation today.

    I'm very impressed!

    Before his speech he did a 10-20 sec. qigong form which had several bursts of sword finger toward us, and big stares towards us (the audience), and I could feel the qi reaching me. (he sent qi through the fingers and eyes).

    His qi was very powerful.

    He is definitely legit :D

     

    Agreed. It was awesome! thanks for recommending this event.

    grammar

    I've purchased a few of his qigong DVD's. Hard to learn from a DVD in my opinion which is a shame because I've enjoyed this master's youtube videos and believe him to have a very strong and unique energy field.

     

    I didn't see any updates in the events section of his website. I would be very interested in attending the zoom meeting. Mind sharing the details?

    Lately I've been experiencing incredible chi sensations in the legs but mostly in the yongquan points. When practicing qigong my yonquan points feel full of vibrant energy. It feels like I'm standing on giant fluffy chi balls. I've been practicing Emei Wuji Gong lately so maybe that has something to do with it. I find it odd because in all my time practicing spring forest qigong which also involves bending the knees slightly while standing I've never experienced anything like this.

     

    In this Wuji Gong form there is a lot of twisting and bending at the waist and knees. Maybe that was the trick to unblock them? The sensation can be achieved easily now even not in practice and I also feel a deeper connection with my laogong points also. Maybe I'm not really asking a question but I'm just unfamiliar with the legs and arms so much . I was hoping it is a sign of deepening my practice.

    the "Thoth mantra" is discussed widely on the internet as being effective for stimulating the third eye. Interesting that it is also the name of an Egyptian deity.   I can confirm that it works, but the trick seems to be the tone. I always wondered what the origin of the mantra is because I only find it mentioned in new age circles

    spelling

    Replaced coffee with Matcha years ago.

     

    Also switched to room temperature bottled water after I read about the adverse effects of food and drink being too hot or too cold

    I've been practicing since 2015 and can only do 30-45 minutes (sometimes longer) comfortably, and I sit in half lotus every day all the time while sitting at home.

     

    Sit often in half lotus and alternate the legs. Use pigeon pose to stretch the hip flexors (when you feel the stretch you'll know the sweet spot) and learn to actually rotate the hip when guiding leg onto other opposite thigh (again you''ll feel it) 

     

    hope that helps
