    I figured it’s the new year so why not start it off with this post. I have seen constant criticism over the mopai students who learned the lower level lessons from Kosta and Jim and even that other guy who created his own forum, all of which were not “authorized” to teach.

     

    Now hear me out, let’s start with ancient mopai masters who have attained high levels. Let’s look at their faults, for one, they didn’t want to teach someone outside of their skin color when they said no westerners. They came from a perspective of racism. Also, there was a vow of secrecy. This secrecy was justified as so it wouldn’t fall into the wrong hands. They came from a perspective of fear rather than abundance. So we know ancient masters hold racism and fear dearly to their heart. I don’t know much about the after life but I have listened to countless near death experiences and the people come from a perspective of abundance and love.
     

    Now I say this to all the people “unauthorized” to practice mopai, do as you wish. Just like you decided to drive a car, there is a chance you may get into a wreck but if you do, it’s not the manufacturers fault. Practicing “unauthorized” mopai is like practicing any other religion or belief. You will do so at your own will as you have been given free will to believe whatever. And unfortunately for the ancient masters, they can’t stop you!
     

    John Chang decided to show his abilities because he wanted to uplift the world to see what you could be capable of, something more than the limitations of this reality. There may be bad apples trying to attain these abilities and if they do so what? There will be just as many good apples to stop them. Just like there are many bad apples, practicing the hard martial arts or people getting guns. Stop trying to control the destiny of man and let the energy flow where your karma decides you should be.

    I have seen iron body demos which all look very convincing and I am sure they are. However I have a few concerns:

     

    1. Could someone untrained in iron body produce the same results? For example, just tensing up your muscles upon impact.

     

    2. how Practical is iron body in a fight? You aren’t sitting there getting ready to take a blow and hence changing your form to get ready for the blow.

    I work in the pharmacy, long story short I've had some strange coincidences happening repeatedly. Is someone trying to tell me something or is it all just chance?

     

    For example:

     

    1. I noticed on the pharmacy counter, we did 122 prescriptions, then I looked at the time and it was 01:22. These events happened right after each other.

    2. A patient comes to my pharmacy asking to buy 31 G 1 cc syringes, and I go over to talk to him. Then I come back and the first thing I see on my screen is 31 G 1 cc syringes for verification immediately after talking to him.

    3. I think about a former coworker and she calls the pharmacy a few hours later to say hi.

    4. I think about a plumber who fixed our pharmacy problems and I see him later that day unannounced.

     

    The key to these coincidental events to happen is to not be expecting any outcome or desire for one and these coincidences occur for me.

    What do you guys think of Master Zhou?

     

    Has anyone got any healing from him? I am wanting to take my wife to him for some healing but wanted to get your opinions.

     

    Some things that stood out for me and I wanted to discuss were:

    1. People claim he uses chemicals in the water. But in this clip, the producers used their own water after his first demonstration.

    2. I've seen other clips of the master holding the hot towel and giving it to people in the audience. These people couldn't manage holding onto that hot of a towel for more than a second but master Zhou has clear control of the towel for very long periods of time. Thoughts?

    Is reverse breathing helpful for health if I do say 20 minutes a day for once to twice daily frequency for the next 5 years? I wanted to try and do it while just driving my car so I can do something productive or do I need to be meditating(while reverse breathing) to get the benefits?

    I'm glad you noticed - and it's amazing your the first to comment.

     

    I have to thank you for posting this! I feel I am very lucky to find this as I don't usually go around looking at every topic on this website, but the first 2 videos generated enough interest in me to watch that 3rd video and I am very lucky I did. It feels really good to see what Qi can really do. In this journey I have always asked myself is Qi just the human mind or is it real? Every thing I have seen from different stories to personal experiences makes me think it is REAL but the human mind always has its doubt. Every one here on this forum has had their fair share of fighting but one thing that unites us is that most if not all of us believe that Qi is real. But we are all wanting to know how far can we really take Qi energy? I am very happy that you posted this on this site and I am very thankful that John Tsai posted this. John Tsai is allowing us to see what is humanly possible so that we can try to achieve something above and beyond ourselves. Now I know it is true when they say there are many hidden masters with a lot of hidden abilities and they do not want to be found. We have only seen less than a percent of whats out there.

     

    Just think  - this is a website about taoist training in these skills and yet most people did not notice what you talk about, etc.



    I mean just think the level of what people don't realize.

     

    Haha I agree. I was shocked to be the first to comment but it is funny how there are not as many replies as compared to the Mo Pai vs Longmen Pai thread which has 22 pages. I go through that thread hoping to find good information about training and advancing my practice but that was clearly not the case lol.

     



    It is quite amazing and stunning - and this ability completely challenges normal Western science as well - our whole worldview is challenged by this truth. haha.

     

    Yea it truly is amazing to see a lot of different sources corroborate each other to further prove the existence of Qi to man and what we are truly capable of.

     

    I mean you realize - watching those vids - that those Shaolin Kungfu students were very very lucky to get those qi healings from Master John Tsai - and yet again John Tsai remains unknown in the West - in the qigong scene - in the New Age spiritual scene - compared to say Mantak Chia, just due to marketing differences.

     

    Very true. I never heard of him before. But it shows me how humble he is about his abilities and his lineage since he isn't trying to market himself heavily. I dont think he needs to market himself that much. He probably gets all his students or patient through word of mouth and that is more than enough for him. But I am only speculating here.

    What is so hilarious is Qigong Grandmaster Tsai has very similar abilities to John Chang - people describe the feeling of electricity and their bodies shake - as if being electrocuted or shocked.

     

    This is very interesting and I would like to offer some speculation or insight. If you watch the first video and go to the third clip. You will see John Tsai's teacher doing a demonstration. He is able to move his dan tien from his lower abdomen to his upper abdomen. It almost looks like a big cancerous lump or disease.

     

    As soon as I saw this I was shocked because this looks to me like very high level energy work. If you remember Kosta's book, Kosta mentioned a guy doing demonstrations in the USA (obviously he is not referring to John Tsai's teacher, but another man). This man from Kosta's book had similar abilities to move his dan tien around his body which doctors thought was a cancerous lump. Kosta told John Chang about this man and Chang said he had obtained an equivalency of Mo Pai Level 3! So it makes me wonder if John Tsai's master is at least level 3 for mo pai equivalency. The only reason I mention mo pai here is because this system John Tsai is teaching has the potential to go very far and your seeing possible proof in that demo.

    Hello I've recently got into meditation. Here is my method. Normal breathing, focus only on dan tien. Sit cross legged (not half lotus or anything extreme like that). Just last week, I felt this intense burning sensation all over my body. It was like heat getting put into my body. It wasn't like a minor heat, it felt like lava or fire on me. It was uncomfortable but I was still able to continue on with it for a minute during my meditation. Then I lost it the sensation. It was never like anything I felt before.

     

    Also, I felt as if I was floating inside my body. This also lasted one minute then went away when the intense heat went away.

     

    Anyone else encounter anything similar? I went back into meditation the next day and couldn't duplicate it.

    Hello all,

    This is not a prank but I respect your beliefs so believe what you will. I am asking help from the mods on this one to see if they can help me figure this one out.

    http://www.thedaobums.com/topic/43606-hello/

    If you look there is a post from March 5th 2017 where I am introducing myself as a new member. This wasn't me! I know for fact I was not on these forums on that day writing. I am trying to find out if the mods can pull an IP address for any similarities to my current IP address.

    I just discovered the post from 3/5/17 today. I came to these forums but I forgot my user name and did a password recovery to my email address and I signed in to make my "first" post http://www.thedaobums.com/topic/43834-any-benefit-of-holding-tongue-to-roof-of-mouth-passively/

     

    Then in my notifications pane  I see my first post was actually on 3/5/17. Its almost as if the universe knew I was going to take on this path. I know I am not crazy. Any help would be appreciated. This seems too paranormal to me.

    This is very strange indeed...My original post on this thread shows March 5th, I never made any post in this forum on March 5th 2017 at all! I remember this day very well. Is the universe trying to reach out to me in some way?

     

    This was supposed to be my first post:

    http://www.thedaobums.com/topic/43834-any-benefit-of-holding-tongue-to-roof-of-mouth-passively/

     

    Any way to find out which IP address posted on march 5th?

    We know that holding the tongue to roof of mouth allows the flow of Qi from one part of the body to the other and we do this in many QiGong exercises to facilitate this flow of Qi. But I'm sure you would agree that Qi is ALWAYS flowing in your body whether you practice QiGong or not.

     

    So why not just hold the tongue to the roof of your mouth passively everyday for an hour or so while you do other activities. Could there be any benefit in doing so theoretically? This would allow Qi to flow efficiently for that time period.
