It is recommended to practice only FQ at the same time, but who knows

At first I was doing it in an approximate way, but then I realized I wasn't doing the movements 36 times, not even close, so I began to count and I still count them. Feel free to ask me if you have more questions.

I have been practicing level 1 for 6 months now. Very happy with the results

mm actually you are forced, if you do fragrant you can't do another one!

which would you say is better? i have never tried SF, I am happy with Fragant

How long did you practice fragant dear @Vajra Fist? In the first weeks it made me hungry too, but after a while it changed

Do you prefer SF or fragrant?

yes, I have experienced many changes, some of them: -more energy and vitality -more optimistic -i need to eat less (weight loss in consequence) -i need to sleep less -less tired -better general health

I practice fragrant qi gong, as taught by John Dolic. The main practice of my first teacher is called wudang qi gong, and was brought to Europe by the french practitioner Yves Requena, who went to China to learn it. Many people in southern Europe practice this style since then. But I think fragrant qi gong is much better.

After a long time today I have talked with my first qi gong teacher. He influenced me a lot, as he was the person who made me love qi gong. I haven't seen him in the last 3 years because he doesn't live in Spain anymore. Today we were talking and he gave me an advice (he is the kind of person who always advises others): "remember that the most important thing is not to let what happens outside you dominate what happens inside you. I hope I have helped you. And don't worry too much about anything, remember that what is important is your path". Not too bad! He was also a very hard working person. He was specially good at ZZ, he loved to stand for hours every day. He trained a lot, and although he never went to the university he was clever (except when he talked about science lol).

For health I strongly recommend you fragrant qi gong, it can work wonders. On the other hand, premature ejaculation is not a health problem. Are you sure this is a big problem for you? maybe you should think twice about this.

try to squeeze your forehead. Some time ago I became interested in reichian bodywork. For them to work with the eyes is important. They have exercises like frowning and tensing the forehead, opening and closing eyes, rotating the eyes, etc. They claim this can even improve your sight, but I didn't really feel much improvement. I will follow this thread as I am interested in eyes work.

I agree with "moderation, not supression", although it may necessarily mean some repression after all. But without this moderation you can lose your mind. And believe me, I know this well

so you are not enjoying casual sex now?

You should try fragrant qi gong. This is the best qi gong for improving health

I am reading a classic of western thought: Spinoza's Ethics

What is said in this essay is probably true. But let state something, insecurity comes mainly from the mind, not from the body. So something more than martial arts is needed to overcome it.

I read somewhere else that according to TCM negative emotions are generally the reason why the body gets sick. What is your view on that point? I have always wondered why a previously healthy body then can develop something like a cancer or whatever other sickness without apparent reason. I think it is a very important question that science should address, as it could prevent a lot of suffering.

ok thanks, from now on i will never have sex

This is becoming a very interesting thread

It is true, and not to love/be loved as a teenager is devastating. I mean with bf and gfs, not with family

Hey And what is taoism? Do we know what is this philosophy called daoism?

It is important then to focus on improving our emotions and our thoughts

Many people care about their diet, at least in Europe, bc they know its importance for health. Very few care about emotions bc they don't understand its effects
