They are not actually angry ... they resist their anger, and the more they resist the more hot it gets.

I think that's the key thing, anytime I resist things just get worst, and my standing practice is a microcosm of that, anytime I manage to surrender everything gets simpler.

I came into field of "spontaneous" "qigong" through practicing standing and sitting meditation.Since it started , like maybe 7 years ago i just stand or sit go into a certain meditative state and it starts by itself.it can be really intense and even a little overwhelming at some times but its like i always " get what i need ".

Experienced some mystical experiences and altered states of mind that lasted also through the daytime.what i gained from it... nearly effortless power in daily activities, like walking, running, riding bycicle, doing my household,  lifting objects. Mentally and emotionally states of clearer perception and a deep peace, appreciation for everything. During practice i experience all kinds of daoist practice like, circle walking and running, xinyi and taiji like movements,  healing sounds, spontaneous mantras, drunken immortal like movements, hand seals, healing abilities ( in person and long distance ) .And yes as far as i understand neidan practice is also there . Maybe look into the personal discussion thread of my friend @Earl Grey  .He is into spontaneous 5 animals qigong.

In my personal practice you can also find some youtube clips doing spontaneous qigong.

inspiring  I 'fell' into this after some time practicing standing... my body just moves and I try to let it happen, it's an eternal dance between not trying to amplify the movement because I somehow feel it's gonna bring release and not trying to prevent it even slightly because I'm afraid I'm gonna hurt myself and the more I zoom in the more I discover it's almost always the same thing at a different level, I can always let go a bit more and I'm the only one preventing further progress. The same patterns comes again and again until I can let go enough and then something else happens. Some things takes weeks some years. It's been a rough ride and the movements used to be really wild, nowadays it's a bit more gentle even if if it's painful, but I still feel like a perpetual beginner. I'm quite new here and mostly reading old posts, but I feel a bit less alone reading comments like yours.

On another subject, and I'll post here because it doesn't deserve a thread, anyone lives in or around Brussels, Belgium?

Can I assume I will be able to invite myself to slack when I will have posted more than 15 messages? Right now when I enter my email it says there's no member with that address

Eliminate ejaculation all together, maybe once every 2 months is a good metric. You accomplish this by learning to sublimate sexual energy via internal methods. 

 

Practice Karezza with your wife, it's a different kind of love-making which does not emphasize being hot and heavy (this will likely cure your desire for porn and wringing your noodle)....but a kind of cool heart centered connection, thus being aroused is not necessary. Cupid's Poisoned Arrow is a good book for this.  

 

On a weekend your free.....do a 3 day water fast. It will be tiring and detoxing as shit but will kick the cold out of your system. 

 

thanks for the book recommendation, it's very interesting

Same goes for Wuji Qi Gong And The Secret Of Immortality, I haven't bought it yet.

I've also read good things about Tom Bisio's Ba Gua Nei Gong Vol. 2: Qi Cultivation Exercises and Standing Meditation, but I haven't bought it yet.

There's a few ones I haven't read, thank you. You might want to add Cai Songfang's Wujishi Breathing Exercises to your collection

just saw your edit, but yeah, I came to the same conclusion

looks like a cool DVD, sadly I didn't see anything about Zhan Zhuang in the trailer or the review detailing the content I found on amazon, the cover seems a bit deceptive  thanks for looking though!

I think you are right, I found nothing explicitly about Zhan Zhuang or ever mentioning it by name with a quick google search... If you are luckier please let me know, I'm always looking for more literature on the subject

Lam Kam Chuen has a lot of videos on YouTube you might be interested in. Also Dr Yang Jwing Ming has a book on Zhan Zhuang that you might be interested in

I know this is an old post, but does anyone know which of Dr Yang Jwing Ming's books is about Zhan Zhuang?

thank you

Hi! I live in Brussels, Belgium and my main practice is Zhan Zhuang. I look forward to browsing past discussions and participate in new ones
