  1. Thanks to you all!

    Just to clarify, of course I never do Meditation Practices (like Samata Vipassana etc.) with Music -

    - to concentrate, de-program, becoming empty, whatever you call it, Music would simply be counterproductive.

     

    I WAS JUST REFERING TO SPONTANEOUS BODY MOVEMENT (ZI-FA-GONG)!

     

    For THIS kind of practice I know of a few Teachers who occasionally use Music to help beginners or people with more or less bodily Rigidity (aren't we all???)

    -to "shake it off",

    -to "let loose",

    -to "get lost",

    -to help "distract their holding on to >stability>"

    ...

    ...

    (but I always forgot to ask them about the musical pieces they used)

     

    Any suggestions now JUST FOR THIS PURPOSE?

    Thanks


  2. Hi all, I opened up a thread but noone replied so I thought I ask directly those who engage in these practices:

    Anyone practices pontaneous/ZifaGong with Music?

    What Kind of Music do you "use/recommend"?

    Do you focus your choice on spiritual qualities ("aura", "fragrance", "channeling", "peacefulness" ....) activating rhythm, relaxing mood, enhancing fluidity or hat else?

    Thanks

    (sorry to bother you on several Threads, i am done NOW ;-)

  9. Hi all,

    some do some practices with music...:

    I sometimes do ZifaGong / spontaneous Qigong / stillnessmovement / wujigong / seiki / - whatever you call it...see tags (funny nearly everone of those states they are the only ones who do it ;-)  with music.

     

    Is there any music you could recommend to help "get the ball rolling"?

     

    Cheers. MoS

  10. First things first: I have a friend who followed WL for several years, because he found that WL really has internal energy. Only thing my friend got very disappointed because apparently WL doesn't TEACH the real thing to anyone.

  11. Music can help finding stillness

     

    Music can recharge your connection to the whole / dao / nothing / whattheheck

     

    Music can help finding the child inside of you

     

    Music can help you (a lot!)  with acheiving inner (and outer) smile

    ...

     

    may the schwartz be with you!

    I'm a professional jazz musician and I can tell you my music is directly tied into my spiritual practice.

     

    Hey, tell us about wat you think are the most spiritual pieces / musicians in jazz.

     

    For me there is Abdullah Ibrahim, Bill Evans, Cannonball Adderley (some), Miles' "Sketches"  and some others, Alice Coltrane, Petrucciani, on the Non-Jazz side John Martyn, Mali Blues, JJ Cale,

     

    Some can play silence

  13. not sure if I should open a new Topic:

     

    Christensen says his Kunlun (as water Method)  should not be mixed with fire methods. As such he mentions Kundalini awakening.

     

    1.) what do you think of this?

    2.) How do I know if my spontaneous Qigong Practices are Fire or Water?

     

    Ya Mu , soaring crane and others concerned with zifa practice - could you elaborate on this?

    Hmm that would explain why many shamans and medicine men/women, Monks etc use Drums & Chants to bring about trance & change in states.

     

     

     

     

     

    A high level meditator can meditate any where & can meditate at any time & can Meditate with or with out object and that includes music.

     

    I doubt you have any real experience. If you did you would know differently.

     

    Music can be a VERY powerful tool.

     

    Ever wonder why Saraswati plays an instrument? & Why lord Shiva has a drum & a Conch Shell?

     

    Two very different interpretations of Meditation. I#d go with sykkelpump in interpreting Meditation as letting go of attachments. Why attach yourself to music? With shamanic trance of course things stand different. But thats Trance , not Meditation.Flight in Higher or Dream Dimensions as opposed to being awake and receptive in THIS World.


  15. I bet after some time listening to soundtrack music you will discover that they are artificially composed for enhancing emotions without being grounded in lifeworld-feelings (whatever that means ;-) .

    Better go for the music-for-the -sake -of-music Stuff.

    Try Anthony and the Johnsons for example

    Nick Drake

    I have one name for you: John Coltrane.

     

    Great. I have more Names for you: Alice Coltrane, Bill Evans, Michel Petrucciani, John Maryn, Nick Drake (on the darker side of beauty). 

    Many others, maybe another time....


  17. Hi,

    I'm wondering what music to use while practicing spontaneous movement qigongs.

     

    Some use music

     

    (Christensen - Mongolian ;

    Chen - various;

    Keeney/Goodman - Tribal/Shaman Drums;

    Tiangong - "heavenly language singing")

     

    to help start the process,  

    others don't.

     

    IF you use Music, what works for you?

     

    Any recommendations for Shamanic Rhythms avaliable for free in the net?

    (PLEASE not the"Wellness-Synthesizer-esoteric-angelic-...-Type!")

     

     

     

     

     


  18. Ideally you should not listen to music (at least not all the time).

    Two reasons:

    1.) Taiji is a martial art (enough said)

    2.) Music can calm you but Taiji can calm you more, so no need for Music ;-)

    I understand about the distractions. Anyway after some time you should text if the time has come you don't need it anymore.

    Good Practics
