I have a question regarding Monk Gazing at the moon. I'm wondering if it's meant to double as a one pointed focus concentration building meditation because it seems perfect for it. As in You're Gazing at an object or point in space through your fingers and are holding your focus on it as well as you can unbroken to build extended concentration. I imagine if the moon was there that's what would be intended? Or kinda zone out and focus more on the energetic sensation?

If the moon is out should you try and time it near a moonrise or moonset so its straight ahead if you have no elevation near you, or lie on your back? Bending the neck back to look up seems like it  could cause health issues with the neck.

Thanks for the reply. I clearly just got the date entirely wrong haha but it explains that he was already really into it, maybe he grew up on David Carradine and old Kung Fu movies. For some reason I thought it was early 90s shows how little I know about basketball history.  And yes it's the joys of clicking on a random page due to an entirely unrelated search on this thread and finding absolute gold! That whole page was great with all the Kuan Yin stuff as well. page 223

"I BOUGHT INTO THE DEEPER CONNECTION." --KOBE BRYANT

 

This is a spontaneous  testimonial given by the late great Laker star Kobe Bryant about his personal practice of Tai Chi and  Flying Phoenix Qigong--and specifically, "Monk Gazing At Moon" that took place 22 years ago when I trained the L.A. Lakers  during their 2000-2001 NBA season.  For all non-basketball fans:  Kobe Bryant was the No.4 highest scorer in NBA history and holder of 8 other unparalleled records.  He died 3 years ago in a tragic helicopter crash in Calabasas, CA along with his daughter and seven other friends.

 

The following is copied from my recent Facebook posting and pasted here to confirm for all reading this thread that back in 2000-2001, I trained the L.A. Lakers in Tai Chi, Flying Phoenix Qigong, and basketball-related exercises that I designed for them:

 

22 years after I trained the L.A. Lakers in--Tai Chi and Qigong as their warmup regimen--during their 2nd World Championship season under Phil Jackson, this tongue-in-cheek acknowledgement by the late Kobe Bryant surfaced and found its way to me:

 

 

My friend and Qigong student Marcus de Mello just sent this link to me yesterday. It's of the late Kobe Bryant reminiscing about the Tai Chi and Qigong training that I provided the L.A. Lakers throughout their 2000-2001 season. No doubt that the phenomenal success of my Tai Chi For Health instructional videos (on VHS starting in 1991 and still top-selling in the genre today on DVD) made it easier for Phil Jackson to bring me as a specialized trainer (after his predecessor Del Harris's secretary, Chris Luken, showed him my proposal and videos that I had originally sent to Harris). Plus a lot was being written at the time in the college coaching journals about Tai Chi as an effective recovery regimen for basketball players. So for that Sept. 2000 to April 2001 season, the first 50 minutes of every home practice at the Health South center was spent with me teaching the players, coaching staff and trainers Tai Chi and restorative Qigong. As the season progressed, I necessarily added a lot more kung fu conditioning exercises (to burn off the intoxicants in their systems that they came in with every morning). I also created several ball-control and ball-takeaway exercises using simple Tai Chi body mechanics and martial arts footwork that Kobe's teammate, my man Shaq, especially liked.

 

*NOTE OF CORRECTION: Contrary to what Kobe quips in this interview, I NEVER had the players take off their shoes and go barefoot. As a matter of fact, I've never required that students in any of my classes take off their shoes--since I started teaching in 1983(!) LOL. The late Kobe just made that stuff up on the fly in this interview...to add atmosphere, I guess, to his story. But Kobe's overall recollection is correct: I did do all my morning trainings of the team at center court at Health South. And after the first few sessions, he did get into it. The whole team got with the program and Shaq, Mark Madsen, Greg Foster, Devean George, Mike Penberthy, and elder statesman Ron Harper (who came from the Bulls and was 36 yrs old at the time) really loved it.

Although this interview show didn't get a photo of me, but just grabbed stock footage of some guy in a robe (who, btw, doesn't do anything close to what I teach), Kobe does identify me as the Laker's Tai Chi trainer when he mentions by name the "Monk Gazing At Moon" exercise and does its hand posture somewhat correctly on camera. "Monk Gazing At the Moon" is one of 32 exercises in Ehrmei Mountain Flying Phoenix Qigong (Fei Feng San Gung), an extremely rare an esoteric system of Taoist monastic Qigong and hygienics--of which I am the sole living 7th generation preserver. Except Kobe got an important detail of this particular exercise all wrong in this interview: "Monk Gazing At Moon" is done with the eyes wide OPEN--not closed! For it says so in its name--LOL!! (It's not called, "Monk Gazing At the Moon Through Closed Eyelids"!!)

 

• Anyway, thank you, Kobe, for mentioning my Tai Chi and Qigong training during this interview--however loosely! And thank you, Marcus, for forwarding to me this bit of acknowledgment 22 years after the fact.

 

My training the Lakers in 2000-1 also started a trend in pro basketball. I was the first Tai Chi trainer in NBA history. My very good friend, Steve Saltman, was close friends since childhood with Ki Ki Vandeweghe, as their fathers played together for the Knicks. (Steve's father. "Shelly" Saltman, was president of the Lakers during the Jack Kent Cook days in the 60's. So when Steve told Ki Ki that I was training the Lakers in Tai Chi for warm-ups and for recovery from the sport's wear-and-tear , Ki Ki at that time had just become general manager of the Denver Nuggets after a 21-year career as a player and coach, and Ki Ki immediately went out and hired a Tai Chi master in the Denver area for his team.

 

Enjoy the read.  I hope it inspires you to practice more Monk Gazing At Moon and more FP Qigong because, well...

...it worked for the late great Kobe Bryant's game.

Hello Sifu Terry.  This isn't a very serious question but it made me wonder and laugh. Based on this video and how you said Shaq was very into it. It made me wonder...do you think the 1994 video game I remember as a kid called Shaq fu on the Sega genesis https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaq_Fu

Was possibly directly or indirectly inspired by you and your lessons?

Thank you @senseless virtue

Very good post the ginger part is fascinating to me because before I saw it I was really feeling this intuitive pull to ginger and even got these ginger drinks from trader joes for Christmas from my brother that are basically a tbsp or two of ginger powder you mix with water. It feels so energizing and refreshing. The blood cleansing aspect intrigued me.

It’s not just being about to see what’s true or not. You start to physically feel what is good for you and what is bad when you consume things. 

Certainly! I'm aware its not the best but I'm just a human making my way along the path. I'll get there eventually and I'm learning as I go. At the moment it helps and Hinders me I'm incredibly aware of how each happens. So I don't reccomend it to people. Without I never would have gone as far as I've have in the past 5 years or so and coulda been stuck in protestant mainstream  Christianity rather than going to the very deep side of the occult using that foundation to skip all the bs, by following my curiosity but I also have backed off from the Chinese alchemical side and I see that as a place it could be a huge hindrance.. but who knows really?  I do qigong now mainly for the health benefits and to advance spiritually.

Man now I feel bad for revinig this post. What senseless virtue posted was What I was searching for i just forgot the old timey word of calling if pot lol.

Pretty good explanation as far as your own observations go, but you may be too inexperienced with meditation to really understand how recreational drugs affect the nervous system. It universally leads to worse results.

 

Since you practice Flying Phoenix Qigong, I have quoted Sifu Terry Dunn on the topic:

 

 

Take care.

Thanks for the response. I might have been a bit much on my commentary about dogma but I deal with a lot of it on religious side so it can be ant easy straw man for me to create. But it also becomes very easy to identify in all aspects of life. I'll fully admit im inexperienced with meditation only 6 years or so after 10 of religion and theology even college level.

Though  it's interesting I listened to Damo Mitchels podcast earlier and he's who I originally started with in qigong/neigong. But he mentioned meditation being good for discerning truth and seeing through falsehood and this is something that I do well at though I may be lacking the deep mystical experiences of many here. Not related to this topic particularly, but it seems to be working though I still have a long way to go.

IMO Different substances are only temporarily make someone high as a normal reaction.
They will not sustain life for long but have an adverse effect. As you say, one shouldn't be relied upon.

Definitely, but they have their place and use when used responsibly. A lot of stigma from people sounds almost dogmatic from people who have no relationship with it. I'm not judging them just making  observations over long periods. Those who don't use or have no desire more power to them and I'm happy for their decision. It's kinda a thing of not being able to go back, not addiction wise but knowledge and experience wise to see things differently. This is kinda a universal concept on any deep or occulted topic.

Interesting topic. I was wondering if there was one of these. Just from my experience Weed makes the feeling of Qi way stronger and more noticeable. I don't do it all the time but sometimes I'll do my practices after coming down and it feels way more potent. Your mind isn't hazy if you are used to it and it can be an altered meditative state it places you in opening up doors to inspiration and increased psychic Awareness.. now the latter part can be a burden sometimes. All this is just from my personal experience and opinion. The first time I truly felt the ability to project qi from my palm with my outgoing breath was when I was high. I'm also the kind of person who when drunk doesn't lose any coordination or mental faculties just become more friendly and confident unless it's an exceptional amount, so maybe that has something to do with it. But unlikely because Weed can quickly become overwhelming if out of your league.

Another one I'll mention was the first time I tried LSD  around when I was first starting Daoist  breathing practices around 5 years ago. When on LSD due to the heightened brain function and awareness I was able to Feel my lower dantian and breathe straight into it feeling a pulsing or vibration as the Qi descended. I kinda intuited this pump like sensation on pumping down on the outgoing breath. I still can't do that normally. These things can be valuable tools  but shouldn't be relied upon.

Had a very interesting sensation after practicing earlier today.  I've been doing the volume one standing set for a few months now. And for my birthday a week ago I got the Volume 2 dvd. I Usually do roughly 3 at a time. Since the recommendation is 5 minutes minimum I set a meditation timer to chime 3 times every 6:30 to give time for the breath control just as a rough estimate. One thing I like about the MSW sets is the  lack of a need of a timer and just to keep track of how many I've done which is what i'm more used to with my Western practices.

Anyways I was in a lightly rainy nature trail in-between 2 lakes. I was the only one out there and walked out to a little peninsula, It's far enough back to escape the traffic sounds, and usually a lot of birds such as Blue and White Herons. Off Topic but I actually saw 3 of the large red headed woodpeckers  together which is mind boggling.  I did MGAM, BTB,MH Pearl, then Wind above the clouds... or is it tree tops? Was a good 27 mins or so with the timers I set. Then walked a bit further to try and find a dry patch of ground, found something good enough up on a wooden deck and sat for MSW1 and MSW3 just the typical 7 sets with breathe control. When I came out of it the sensation was very tangible.

I felt energetic vibrations all over my body. Once I started doing  the  seated practices I  started to feel a lot of energy in the face usually and under the  chin when doing the practices. But What I could compare  the energetic sensation after finishing to is when I was trying to learn to Astral Travel 4 or 5 years ago and could get to the vibration stage pre exit. Never quite achieved the exit except waking up lifting out of the bed once and just kept going right through the walls and roof haha. But regardless it was a really cool experience.  I've also started to have even stronger sensation in my hands which all I had to do before was just focus on them to feel Qi circulating or emitting from the palms , but now its even stronger  especially when the 2 are facing and they  will start shaking sometimes.

Since people were mentioning electronics. I use bluetooth noise canceling headphones sometimes with like peaceful zen or flute music out of necessity due to living in very noisy place, and I don't know if it has a negative effect, but it helps me stay focused and actually complete the practices which I see as a positive. I prefer to go without, but occasionally have no choice.

I just want to comment on the focus of developing virtue and morality that stood out to me just browsing their material awhile back.

I just happened to pick up the book of the shelf at a library a few months back and found it very interesting. A lot of the stuff talked about early on is similar to my own deep esoteric research In systems that are into following the Divine or as he calls in the Buddha law. I only got like 50 pages in, and watched some of the practice videos. The high focus on morality could be great for some people, and turn others off completely, it seems to be more Buddhist than Daoist, so if ones already into buddhism or other systems of purifying one's character it can kinda resonate for them? From my own experience and just study in general I believe there is something to the idea of a shortcut by developing virtue. Others systems like esoteric Christian ones also have a huge emphasis on this as a requirement for true development of the soul which would skip many many lifetimes of doing it by trial and error, and that there is only so far you can develop as a precaution built into the whole system if one does not develop virtue.  Where if one is aligned or attuned to the Buddha law the Divine or whatever word you want to choose. It will take care of you.  But Seek ye first the Kingdom of Heaven and  his Righteousness all this will added unto you. Is a very esoteric verse about such a concept.

Now whether this is relevant or true about their system I can't say due to no experience with anyone whose practiced it. Just putting out some philosophical thoughts.

The one I forgot but stuck out to me also just as a common sense thing the more you study this stuff. Is talking about the ancient guys who developed the energy channel system being some form of clairvoyant. Being able to literally see it. I feel like this should be more discussed  more often as it seems obvious as a result and level of spiritual development. The western model of medicine won't acknowledge this currently, but if you know you know.  I can't see it yet but I have faith it's just part of the process and developing yourself a true healer.

Just wanted to chime in. I just started the practice and. wow even after only a couple sessions while still learning the standing forms. I've felt sensations I've never felt. In the legs and neck. It seems to be great for unblocking areas I've never been able to feel the qi well, even after being sensitive to it for several years now. Kinda like this cool flowing sensation up the neck. Also just feel generally great  and mellow after the session.

One thing I'm curious about is the left hand in the right. So many people specify by gender for males the right goes under the left. But to me the other way has always felt more intuitive and just a natural fit. So I'm enjoying that theres no tension like when  I'd try and do the other way. It just adds an unnecessary layer of distraction.

Editing my own comment I realized it's probably due to it being more yin in nature in general which makes sense.

There are two pranayama (breathing techniques) to cool the body, sitali and sitkari. Both of them can be done 4 or 5 times in a place with clean air and normal temperatures.

As a temporary relief, slaked lime mixed with water can be applied as a paste on top of the left and right big toe 'nails' or nadi shuddhi pranayama to balance the breathing.

 

Interesting, good to know, I will have to look into it focused breathing Is my preffefed meditation method.

But on a side note   I don't want to derail this topic into a heat issue. The original thing I'm talking about is very much a qi/Prana thing that is known and expected in energetic development and alchemical systems. My own issues are separate and unrelated to the original topic, just to clarify thanks for the advice!

You just have heat overall; pretty simple. Heat in Liver, Heart, Lungs, Intestines and Lower Jiao.

 

That needs to be removed with diet, lifestyle and sexual activity changes. Chinese herbs are very helpful in the initial stages.

 

 

I am curious what Chinese herbs you might recommend. I know this is true about my body, it's what I was told when first seeing a TCM practitioner about 9 years ago. Currently the only thing I take at all is Eyebright for eyes and sinuses. Which I intuitively came to Apparently its also good for clearing heat. Xiao Mi Cao is the Chinese name.  Not exactly what I was reffering to, but wouldn't mind advice on this miserable problem.

It wouldn't be esoteric if one knows how our body works. The keyword is "breathing". Why does one  breathe? It is to keep one alive. Unfortunately, humans lose the ability to breathe from an infant. The reason for breathing is to capture the oxygen in the air for the body to function. If breathing isn't done properly to provide ample oxygen to the body, then, the body will not function normally. There is a certain amount of oxygen that the body can take. Not more not less. If too much, the person might die. If not enough, it will cause chronic diseases. Deep breathing is the best breathing method to bring the maximum amount of air(oxygen) that the lungs can hold.

The oxygen helps to generate body energy, and heat is part of the energy. When blood circulates, it will generate heat all over the body. Not just the abdomen. The feeling of heat is when one can resist the cold temperature in the atmosphere without putting on extra clothes.

I find this very important as well. Getting the right dichotomy of physical/spiritual is important. This is based more on the physical side but for health reasons is still entirely on point.  The more people learn and know about these topics the easier it is to maintain your health. I'm involved with some western esoteric systems and even the focus on the blood flow from deep breathing is incredibly important to purifying the body. I think it goes into many levels subtle to direct.

Thanks so much for this input. Its what I was feeling as well. Breathing is very magical and alchemical when it is done with focus and intention And I think that's what the sensations are leaning towards some manifestation of spirit transforming your being.

One of my favorite quotes from Zhuangzi or Chuang Tzu is his one on breath control. Now what the original Chinese means might be different but.  it's so straightforward and awesome, which resonates so much even if you have even just a little experience with it.

"Breathing control give man strength, vitality, inspiration,and magic powers."

-Zhaungzi

Hello. I wanted to get some opinions from the fine folks around here on this phenomenon and how it is viewed from different traditions. This is something I've experienced for several years now especially when I'm living a bit more in a harmonious way, mentally and physically it will certainly manifest more often.  I'm aware it is a universal phenomena between both Eastern and Western traditions. I assume in the Daoist arts it's focused more on the Lower Dantian, while in some Western systems it's about filling up the Solar plexus with energy which also covers that same general area and function of being a storage space for massive amounts of energy.

But I'd like some more professional or just interesting opinions on what this is and what it is actually doing. It is a bit esoteric I suppose, but a very real physical sensation.

Welcome! Flying Phoenix and Spring Forest both are regarded rather highly around here.  Flying Phoenix has a ridiculously long thread with more information than you'd ever need. Spring forest has some good threads too like  This one about This guy's personal experience and development with the system.  And their website is ver helpful too.  https://www.springforestqigong.com/

and here's the flying Phoenix one.

For many people, lucid dreaming and astral projection are a good way to get in touch with psychic powers. Space trips are my favourites! 🙂

 

To illustrate, I once found myself on a planet which (in my very real-feeling dream) I understood was orbiting a red dwarf that was in turn circling our Sun at a distance of over one light year. I remember looking at this planet's crimson star hovering in the sky from some kind of elevator platform. As I typically experience during such trips, I felt incredibly centered, and focussed in my lower dantian -- far beyond what I have achieved in my waking life so far.

 

In this particular case, the sensation may have been further amplified by the artificial gravity field of the elevator platform, though. Standing on it, I was travelling through a system of looping tubes that interconnected the cities and tall buildings on the surface of the planet -- without me ever loosing the sensation of being upright!

 

Years later I learnt that Nibiru expert Andy Lloyd assumes this legendary planet to orbit a binary to our Sun.

 

https://darkstar1.co.uk/

 

The theory of a red or brown dwarf star circling our Sun was actually quite popular with astronomers in the last century. It was called 'Dark Star' and 'Nemesis'. While no longer predominant, this theory still finds support by a number of scientists.

 

Here you see my approximate artistic rendition of the city I saw in my dream (creating digital art being one of my various interests).

 

 

 

 

Sri Yukteswar Yoganandas guru in the book the Holy science goes into detail about how a binary star to ours causes the procession of the equinox, and the zodiacal /yoga cycle by sending us way around the galaxy and when we are closest to the center it's the golden spiritual ages, but we just ended the furthest point and are heading back up thus the massive influx of technology and knowledge in the last 2 centuries.  very fascinating take from a supposed highly enlightened master.

Thanks for the recommendation.  The guy I originally learned from taught me a a bit of Damo's System, like some of the foundational moves several years back.  Lately I've been working on the Marriage of Heaven and Earth set  from a book and videos from Bruce Frantzis' system, and it seems to be pretty effective for me at my current level. I didn't specify where I am which is Virginia Beach. That looks like its near Washington DC which is  pretty far away, I'm planning on going to a good acupuncturist locally soon and I'm gonna ask him if he knows anyone in the area.

So it wasn't a happy ending after all?

Sorry, someone will laugh. 

Hope you find something, I live in a very starved area for it in South Eastern Virginia and have the same issue trying to find local high level teachers.  A lot of good teachers seem to migrate out to the west coast which is understandable, chiller vibe and beautiful natural landscape, also closer to Asia. But Bruce Frantzis' system, Lee Holden and YMAA , and Spring Forest Qigong are all located in America. There has to be something  legit in New York though. Upon looking at Bruce Frantzis' website there seems to be an in person trainer in New York. https://www.energyarts.com/instructors-search/

It's a good question and it looks like you got some good answers already! I have limited experience with the Golden Dawn, only 1 year, but just in my  Semi Armchair opinion from my overall analysis of many of the type of people that join those types of orders or systems. Most are likely very unqualified to actually do the work you could say. Which is why banishing for a while might be a good idea. Many are still very egotistical, and have not done much work on purifying themselves of vices and petty attitudes of things like  revenge etc, even in the leadership. They may be very talented or incredibly interested in the material, but probably shouldn't be doing it. There was a reason ancient mystery schools and some modern had like a year of a probationary period  to see if people were actually worthy to become initiates. It can become very culty which kinda reinforces my opinion, and why I bailed after a year. Some spend 20 years in and haven't improved their character much at all. Then others absolutely thrive. So obviously it's not everyone but many might be getting into it for the wrong reasons perhaps?  

I'd say it was just the one I joined but it seems to be a sterotype of many different ones based on what I've heard from former adepts of other orders who run podcasts.  Like Esoterinerd and Magick without Fears. And another is they usually self destruct just repeating the same history.

Just some thoughts. Could be completely wrong.

I deduced that AMORC management of the time was no longer able to do what was done by a previous generation.    This was supported by the movement of AMORC texts to a more philosophical approach with less technical expertise shown.

 

This is a common problem with esoteric organizations.  They are rarely able to generate new leaders of the caliber of the founder.

 

From this I deduce that the founders of esoteric organizations have instinctive or supported abilities but do not know enough (or have the authority) to pass them on.

I've been noticing or rather thinking this a lot lately. Many groups when they lose their original leader tend to degrade, or never seem to produce anyone of substance. I've honestly been thinking about this a lot lately due to being so fascinated by actual high level mystics or you could say saints. The people who train under them get that guru disciple relationship of having an actual master with Gnosis that can personally guide them, so their progress can be sped up exponentially, as well as being able to personally see what is possible which builds faith and positive outlook which also speeds things up. I wonder if it's a karma thing to be one of the lucky ones to end up in that situation, that the time is right for you. Because I certainly feel lost at times trying to just do long distance training. 

Now I digress and need to specify I don't think Lewis or people who start orders likes the Golden Dawn groups were any sort of that level. The proof is in the pudding there since many seem to self destruct due to petty infighting. I personally respect Amorc because I learned of it from a friend and think it has good effects on people. But I'm also very well aware of the controversy  involved with their founding, and the term Charlatan being thrown around by several sources including Manly P. Hall. So whether their true Rosicrucians or just a good group for esoteric training that coopted the name for advertising sake is a mystery to me.

I voted no, because a video by itself can not be considered acceptable evidence since it can be faked. BUT a video is good for leading people to seek out whoever performed whatever feat was shown so they can experience it for themselves to see if it’s true.

This is a Great point. For instance since it already went there. The video of John Chang lead to Kostas traveling to study with him which led to The Magus of Java book.  Me seeing the video on YouTube years back led to me noticing the book in a metaphysical book store. Then reading it which changed my life by getting me into Qigong, and drastically shifting my worldview.

I'm going to share some obvious results of practice  from my own personal experience I've seen happen. Such as  beginning to feel Qi when you couldn't at all before, then this increasing in different areas of the body,  As well as feeling heat during practices, becoming much more relaxed and calm overall. Inner peace. Your thoughts nearly entirely shutting off. Not identifying with said thoughts. Health problems disappearing or no longer mattering.  Being able to choose you're emotional state at times. Like making yourself happy for no reason just by focusing on the feeling of joy or love. Dream life becoming more active like Lucid dreams. All sorts of mini psychical ones like precognitive thoughts of knowing someone's coming to visit or about to call or text you. These are just some things I've personally experienced since I started about 4 years ago that were not present before.

 Sorry for the full quote and late reply, but thank you for the advice I will look into it!  I realized I was extremely active in sports  my whole life till going to college, then it became only surfing, which is  roughly when it started so perhaps my youthful vitality and constant active lifestyle preventing it from manifesting sooner. I also realized I distracted the topic... forgive me for that. I Just saw the one part, and commented from my personal experience.
