Ok so for a little more background and explanation for my self and my experience personally.... Qigong was basically the first practice I got into and the reason was to help me deal with a lot of past trauma particularly childhood trauma but other trauma as well. In my study of qigong I did become aware of the inner smile and healing sounds from Chia, but a student of his (Gilles Marin) had written a book that took the practice to a much deeper level than what I had learned from Chia. In his book I learned to use these same techniques but to go much deeper into the organs, especially into their emotional and mental aspects. I might spend (at times) up to an hour looking deeply into a single organ, basically breathing in its associated color with the smile, and breathing out what ever was in there that no longer served me with the associated healing sound. The unexpected thing that happened was that I would uncover repressed emotions and forgotten memories that tended to relate to that organ. 

   For example one time I spend an extended amount of time on my kidneys, breathing in blue, exhaling "dirty qi" with the "choo" sound. I reached a point where it was quite challenging, as totally repressed memories from childhood that terrified me came to the surface, as well as the same quality and sense of fear as at the time I was experiencing the event that caused the fear in the first place as though I were a child again. While that part was unpleasant, on the other hand long standing phobias and mental blocks that I had carried with me all my life up to that point began to fade away, so in that regard it was extremely beneficial. 

   The same held true for the other organs, anger with the liver, sadness with the lungs, ect. I also experienced some other unexpected beneficially health benefits. Gilles includes in his organ meditations the other body parts associated with each organ as well. So for example with the liver meditation one breathes green qi into their eyeballs as well and I noticed an improvement in my eye sight as well. I was in college at this time and previously if I sat in the back had to use glasses to see the board clearly. After a little while of doing this meditation I no longer found my glasses to be necessary. 

   Since then I have moved on and now primarily do Buddhist mindfulness meditation, but still have fond memories of the early days of meditation with the organs. 

Great to hear your experience! Which book do you suggest from Gilles Marin to learn this exercises?

CHINESE MARTIAL ARTISTS ORDERED TO STOP BOUTS

China’s General Administration of Sports banned a number of practices, still in reaction to the bout between a MMA fighter and a Taiji practitioner who had created his own style. They have prohibited: creating one’s own style, organizing a fight without a permit, “malicious attacks,” slander or discrimination against others, claiming to be the “authentic” successor of a style, accepting apprentices, “making inappropriate remarks,” creating and spreading rumors, and fabricating certificates for athletes, coaches, and judges.

Bureaucrats seem unimaginative no matter where you go in the world. As usual, it’s not hard to see the government motivation. After all, the defeated Taiji fighter was apparently favored by the authorities. In other words, their boy lost.

The Taiji fighter, Wei Lei “was described by state media as one of China’s greatest tai chi masters . . .” But puzzlingly, it was Wei who created his own style—one that was proven ineffective.

Part of martial arts is fighting. Granted, it’s not for everyone. Fights should be controlled and bouts should have stringent rules, a referee, medical care standing by, and a fair setting. There is also plenty of room for more casual sparring under controlled situations so that everyone can progress without risking any permanent damage to themselves. But instead of working to clarify the situation, the Chinese government is obviously intent on their typical goals: control, suppression of controversy, and avoiding embarrassment.

I have to agree with the last line of the acticle: “Wei was too weak to represent Chinese kung fu.”

Hey guys I'm Chinese and I know the whole thing let me explain. The so-called taichi master, Lei Lei, in the 10 second fight is literally NOT a master. All his career is deceiving the public and tell everyone he is a kungfu master. Actually he is just FAKE as fxxk. He performs bullshits like hitting watermelons and making birds don't fly. The MMA guy, Xu Xiaodong, decided to expose his lies so he challenged him. Xu also decided to challenge all the fake Kung Fu "masters". Unfortunately, Xu's method is illegal and he makes the powerful Kung Fu Union angry so now he has been stopped by force.

This can be fun stuff to play with and also it can be quite imbalancing and create ill effects.

 

It is a bit like the use of crystals that are also fun to play with and at the same time able to create considerable havoc.

 

Our organic magnetic systems (of which we are comprised) are living and changing - static placements of magnets can be a hinderance to natural pathways and natural and powerful progressions.

 

On the other hand - for the curious and for those seeking some validation that all of this (energy stuff) is real - magnets and crystals amplify and change and divert and are fun to explore with.

 

If you are able to clairvoyantly see and you go to a crystal fair you will see a great many people that look like they were fairly recently taking Speed and other drugs. Their systems have been overloaded and depleted and it is Very visible inside them and often to the naked eye as well.

 

This type of engineering is fun for a time but do ask yourself - do you actually know what you are doing?

Meditation does not require you to know what you are doing - setting about you a placed setting of powerful magnets presupposes that you know what you are doing in changing the magnetic forces around your body which is an organic set of magnetic forces. At one point in our history people swore to the efficacy of radioactive pills until one fellow took too many of them and his jaw dissolved. 

 

 

Yes Spotless, this is the reason why I enquired because if someone has not the ability to see/feel the energy shift then is not good.

Master Wang has of course this (and much more) abilities so he organized everything in the way that works. I've read that also his bed is full of magnets and a normal person cannot sleep in it because it feels to energetic.

I guess that we live in a world where it's very rare to be able to go to the mountain and meditate for weeks, months or even years so we try to do our best using the good thing that sometime our modern techonology offers.

I use magnets during every meditation and have researched this technique for years and different arrangements of north south on the body and have found that the effects are very physically noticeable. I use 2 2" x 2" neodymium magnet cylinders that I bought off of amazon for $40 each. Be careful not to get your fingers in between the magnets at close proximity or you'll lose the fingers. 

 

For a stronger Yin field which is the psychic, telekinesis outward dark field place a magnet south face up beneath you either at your feet for seated or under the anus for seated and north face down above your head. For a stronger Yang field do the reverse of both magnets. 

 

I have tried many arrangements with sometimes as many as 12 magnets around me in different formations and these 2 arrangements although simple produce the most recognizable effects. Meaning the chi will be felt circulating through your body whether you try to or not. This simple addition of using magnets has profoundly changed and empowered my meditation sessions with some very obvious supernatural side effects. I could go into the why and theory of it all but it would bore anybody and we're all after the results anyways right? Good luck with your training!

Thank you very much Superfaz29!

Can you provide the link for buying the magnets or specify how many gauss they are?

If you want to discuss a bit of the theory I will be very interested (not bored at all)!

Hello everyone,

Do you know about the use of magnets in the mat to improve the sitting practice?

I just read it in a longemen pai blog written by a member called Ken that was part of this forum few years before, here is a quote:

Quote

He [Wang Liping] has invented (or discovered/rediscovered?) the group daigong method. Which is essentially a way to harness the power of the combined qi field of a group of people who do the practice together. Note that this is not he same as normal group meditation because you need someone who knows how to daigong, who can control and tune the qi field appropriately to do the job (But normal group practice is still definitely better than doing it on one's own). As an example, say there are 20 students and an instructor who is capable of daigong-ing. Then the tuned qi field will be like 20 people helping you to cultivate at the same time. If this is multiplied by the "boost factor" of using a specially designed magnetic-patterned sitting mat and special technique such as Star Formation practice.

Would be great to have this "boosted" mat or reproduce it just by buying magnets and place them in a right pattern to create the right energetic field. Any comment or suggestions about this will be appreciated!

Introduction to Qigong and Master Duan, from a PBS special documentary called Qigong- Ancient Chinese Healing for the 21st Century-

 

 

90 year old Master Duan Zhi-Liang and Wuji Qigong

These videos are not available anymore...

It seems that synchronicities happen more and more after we start focusing on them, that is the same that happens when we want remember dreams or have a lucid dreams. For example years ago after watching The Celestine Prophecy I began to experience lot of "coincidences" much more than before. 

I don't know if that is because we just notice them or because we "create" them in a way or something else to do like with quantum field connection, everything is one and all that stuff.

Hello,

Few years ago I was researching a lot about hollow earth. One day I found out reading online that among the few accesses that are considered to bring to the hollow earth one is in Mato Grosso, Brazil. After I finished reading I look out of the window next to the desk and I see a huge label "Mato Grosso" on a truck parked just in front of the house. I was shocked! Never ever seen before and since.

I did reverse breathing into LDT for few days, and I started having a bit of stomach ache and a general bad feeling. Can they be correlated? That didn't happen when I was doing the natural breathing.

Thanks to all the great replies!

Yeh the private session was for healing. She didn't mention any particular pathology that needed to be cure but I guess that everyone would give it a go after all the show and advertising of healing benefits (maybe no if the price was revelead in advance LOL)

About the practice lot of masters say that in the presence of him there are much more improvements that practicing alone as his energetic fields allow some changes in our energetic body. I think this is true but again I don't know what is the line between helping people and taking advantage over people in relation to the money asked.

Hello,

Yesterday I found out a video of Sifu Zhou that shows the external powers reached through the practice 

I found out to have a friend on facebook that met him and she reported that even if she was impressed by his ability shown on the stage then she went to have a private session with him the next day and he asked her 300€ per 20 minutes and she was quite deluded about it.

What do you think about it?

I think that everyone needs money, so the fact is not that someone should not charge, but that if there is a line between helping people and taking advantage over people.

I think that just concentrating of your mind on the ldt area is not productive. Ldt should be activated by practice but not by our imagination. It's like you begin to imagine that you have a solid ldt, next you imagine strong energy flows in the body and begin to think you have a progress in practice... But the only thing you have is a progress in your imagination, and maybe some deviations in qi flows.

Rgrds, Ilya

Yeh I don't know how much is productive imagination in Daoist practice. Focus and breathing is the practice or there is something else to add to the cultivation of the LDT?

I have read that is 1.3 inch below the belly button, but then John Chang said that everyone has a different position for the LDT, for example he mentioned that indians have upper/lower (i don't remember which one of these) than the chinese.

I still don't feel it, but i focus in the area under the belly button.. so as you said with the practice it should reveal to me soon or later

Hello,
I am reading Ling Bao Tong Zhi Neng Nei Gong of Wang Liping and I am trying to practice the excercises suggested.
I have a doubt about the position of the tongue during the meditation. It’s written that it has to touch the soft palate behind the frontal teeths: that mean that we should turn the tongue back with the bottom side of the tongue touching the palate OR that we should move as back as possible the tongue and touch the palate with the top side of the tongue?

Thank you very much!!!

Thank you Rakiel. Could you say that the reverse breathing is functional to improve the effects of the practice?

Some masters advice to use a reverse breathing when focusing on the LDT: belly in - air in; belly out - air out. 

Does anyone practice that? As it is an unnatural breathing I would like an opinion about it

Thank you Yueya, very interesting!

I'll buy the book to read the rest of it

Essene tradition?  What do they say?

I advice you the book "The Magus of Strovolos"

It's a very interesting subjects dreams.

When I was a teenager and I was doing lot of meditation and energetic exercises I experienced lucid dreams and OBE.

I guess for Qi Gong practise is the same: where there is more energy in the body you have more dreams. Or to say it better, dreams are more powerful and there is the ability to remember them. As awaken said, another explanation could be that when you move lots of energy in the body-mind you also trigger and unlock physical-psychological blocks and tension that may be experience as dreams.

According to essene tradition dreams are a way to practice in another dimension and can be a very powerful tool in the personal growth. I don't know if the Daoist canon the dream subject has been taken into account as would be interested to know what is it's point of view of it.

Thanks to all the replies, lots of good insights.

Wang Liping also indirectly says that grain free and vegetable-based diet is the best because the human body has three parassites that are fed by grains. I also thrive with grain-free diet, especially gluten-free is good for me.

It's clear also for me that different people have different costitutions so there is no universal diet for everyone.

Also seems to me that in chinese medicine foods can be associated also to organs and maybe if someone needs to improve or heal a certain aspect of his body will feel drawn to that particular food.

I agree that meditation and fasting are a good way to reset the body to the crap-processed-full-of-toxins food and be attracted to the real healthy food.

About unfermented soy there is lot of debate and I cannot share my experience as it's not part of my diet.

Hello,

We cannot deny that food has a big impact on the mind and on our health, and science is more and more recognizing it.

What should be the best diet for someone who is on a Daoist practice?

For sure I would say not to eat to much in order to not fill full and tired after the meal, but a part from that there are foods to avoid and good foods I guess.

In particular after reading a book of Wang Liping in which he was talking about vegetables and grains I started to have an idea about it, but then when I read that his main diet is on bean curd I was a bit puzzled.

According to my studies tofu (bean curd) is quite unhealthy because unfermented soy is rich in antinutrients and hormons-like compounds.

I am reading that exists also fermented bean curd that should be ok, but in the book the "fermented" part was not mentioned.

Would be great to know your opinions and ideas about it.

Thank you!
