  1. Why build qi - if qi flows in and out ?

    waterdrop replied to waterdrop's topic in Daoist Discussion

    lets say i get enough sleep and put effort and 100% is organic -- does it mean i will get a very big amount of qi ? and lets say i have that pile of qi in me .... i still need to take action to convert that qi into jing or the fact i have huge amounts of qi will make some of it increase my jing (above the normal amount) ? Also when i dont masterbaute i get wet dreams - maybe in some high level in the future i could somehow avoid them but not at my current state - does it mean its not much use to gather qi if its lost anyway - like i can put an effort and gather 66 units instead of 44 but at the end of the day i will lose it just the same ?

  2. Why build qi - if qi flows in and out ?

    waterdrop replied to waterdrop's topic in Daoist Discussion

    1 . we are trying to convert as much qi to jing as we can - the more the better ? 2 . we waste qi in daily life - by masterbating and doing actions - and we gather qi by eating food ? 3 . qi flows all the time in and out of the body to the universe (Exchange) ? if i get 6 points of qi from this organic salad i ate instead of chips .... and they i practice a qigong exercise where you push and pull qi .... than do i push those 6 points out togther with 20 qi points in the push phase and than in another 26 qi points in the pull stage ? 3 . if i clear my blocakges - how does it improve my gathering more jing/food in the fridge ?

  3. Why build qi - if qi flows in and out ?

    waterdrop replied to waterdrop's topic in Daoist Discussion

    So you are saying gathering qi is like a back up plan ? as in if you do something maybe its batter to work on the pipeline ? Yes. i dont understand the "yes" do we gather qi so we can increase flow - or increase flow so we can gather qi ? ( i assume we gather qi to increase flow by the above but i want to hear it from you)

  4. Why build qi - if qi flows in and out ?

    waterdrop replied to waterdrop's topic in Daoist Discussion

    I rather use a flowing shower so how do i get there ? do i need to gather carry bottles of water of buckets of water .... or rather build a pipe line ? in that metaphor it seems that building a pipeline is better instead of wasting time gather water bottles ............... unless by gathering qi you help get flowing of qi better somehow but if that is the case it does clash with your example of a "larger container" we expand the channels just so we can gather more qi in some place in the body ? or we gather qi so we can increase the flow of qi ? is it A to B - or B to A ?

  5. Why build qi - if qi flows in and out ?

    waterdrop replied to waterdrop's topic in Daoist Discussion

    Can you elaborate a bit more - like why its not useless to eat food which is high in qi - if we anyway do qigong exercises that are supose to increase the circulation of qi between the body and the universe ? for example there are many exercise where you visualize qi entering and exiting the body ( like in zhineng qiogng which i practiced ) - isnt it clashing with gathering qi ? meaning it makes it pointless ? why expand the channels for example ? does it make the gathering of qi obsolete ?
  6. *every info someone wants to add to this subject the better - some questions i have : 1 . The more flow in the body the better ? 2 . Do the meridians expand the more there is more flow or you expand your meridians and than more flow is going through them ? do you need to maintain them by always pumping more qi through them or else they will close ? 3 . Do the meridians expand ( i read recently they expand somewhere so i wonder how big can they get ? do they expand out of the body ? do they push each other ? cause some are pretty close together) .... or the difference is just in the volume of qi flowing thorugh the same size meridians ? do you just release blockages inside the meridians more and more until they are smooth as much as possible ?
  7. I did vipasasna retreats (mahasi sayadaw style) - but that is just doing meditation all day long - so the meditation you do in daily life just more non stop ................ so maybe that is the case with spontaneous qigong that if you do it in a retreat setting non stop you get to eliminate seeds as well ? What about the aspect of feeling qi and flowing of qi using spontaneous qigong - in comparison to other methods ?
  8. also what im saying is that by reading what you say maybe spontaneous qigong is not really that good - and other qigong method are better ? thats what i get - i mean i practiced zhineng qigong also - so maybe your saying its better to practice it insted od sponatneous qigong
  9. Well that is great i dont know i come from buddhism and if "all" it does is clear attachments that is amazing but since you talk about it not being a practice for 20 years - than i wonder will i know when im done with it and wasting my time with it ?
  10. attachments getting cleared out ?
  11. What is the effect on microwave on food ? does it destroy all the qi the food has ? does it destroy just some ? If i put some freshely picked broccoli (or any other vegetable) and cook it in the microwave , does all the qi get destroyed ? what if i cook the broccoli on a stove and than re-heat it in the microwave ? what about other cooking methods - what is their effect and which is better qi wise (frying,raw,oven, pot on a fire put on an electric heater etc)
  12. If you do many movments in it that you do in other techniques even more tailored for your own needs (the qi will move where it is needed - and in that its much better than other qigong styles ? ) than you can clear all blockages with spontaneous qigong - is it not so ? your meridians will be the best they can be flow will be crazy good is it not the case ? it can be like meditation as well no ?
  13. TBH i dont like to read it ( that its not one method all the way and that its not for 20 years) cause it does lower the motivation to practice it - probably (99%) my fault for asking what i am doing is just moving in what goes between qigong movments some the even very close to the ones i practice in zhineng qigong to interpretive dance type of thing
  14. I am looking for motivation to practice it more - and the end point thing you wrote and this seems like its not that great without that great results can it help increase the flow of qi in the body ? and to feel it better ? sounds from what you say that other methods are better maybe like zhineng qigong ? ( i am aware of the warning you shouldnt practice it without a teacher - my meditaiton teacher just told me to do it with no instructions - but i report to him on my life in general and my practice and i trust him 100% - but i am really unsure about the benefits of it and i really have a hard time practicing it cause of it even though its more "easy" and "fun" to me than zhineng qigong )
  15. what do you mean ?
  16. Great answers freeform I practice now sponatinues qigong as adviced by my meditation teacher - what are your thoughts about it in light of the stuff you wrote ? is it using the whole body as a channel ? or just the channels ? it’s not able to transform................. what do you mean by transform ?
  17. I heared from someone about blessing food and water before consumption what do people who do it say before consumption ? do you do anything else ? what is its effect (qi wise ? mind wise ? etc)

  18. Blessing food and water before consumption

    waterdrop replied to waterdrop's topic in General Discussion

    This are good replies But i did hear about a blessing before drinking water from my reberthing course instructor , also i did hear from taoists and buddhsits about "viberations" - and i did hear from people in qigong including qigong instructors about good food with good qi , and i did hear about microwave being bad for the food .... doesnt it clash somehow with what you say ? CT do you not think that it doesnt matter if you use microwave to cook your food ?

  19. Blessing food and water before consumption

    waterdrop replied to waterdrop's topic in General Discussion

    just searched in youtube "diet qigong" and ran into a video of someone talking about raising the vibration of the food itself (something i remember now i heared elsewhere about water) :
  20. What are the stuff a person can do to feel qi better ? (* important later edit (After 2 first replies) : to feel qi better over time) (not talking about putting your hands close to feel some tingling in them but how to feel chi well in the body (maybe even seeing chi with eyes)) what to do and how does it help exactly some examples (im not answering myself this are stuff i wonder about and i am not sure - this are genuine questions -- would be good if you confirm and explain about any point i raise and add stuff i didnt mention as well ) : meditation ? how does it help ? does it help feel the qi better ? more chi in the body ? accumulate as much chi as possible ? does it matter how much chi you accumulate or just how well it flows ? practice qigong ? if so how does it help ? cleaning the blocakges in the body ? in what way ? do you increase the flow of chi in the body ? does it increase exchange of chi from the body to the outer world ?
  21. Well i started by learning zhineng qigong from a teacher that follows mingtungu who teaches with visualaztion - i was never good at it than i went to learn zhineng qigong in china and its with no visulization and it was better - but now i read about reality transurfing (which is indeed not qigong) and they have a few visulaiztion exercises there and it does seem it can work (my practice at the moment is spontaniues qigong,meditation,reberthing) ( !! but i dont want to talk about myself or my practice cause that always derails the thread and makes ingormation that could be told not be told !!! ) cause by that pratcie you visualize qi going up the spine and qi going down a bit infront of it and its supose to widen the channels by moving the qi in them it seems , you dont think that works ? can you expand on that ? i get in general that the body is made of qi - what do you mean the body becomes one big channel - is it in the end stage after years of practice , or is it just the way of practice from the start ? seems better to do that be one big channel than just some in parts of the body no ?
  22. i was thinking for example about visulization exercises where you imagine qi going up and down the body (and outside the body) and it is said to be an exercise to make more qi flow through the channels how big can this channels get ? dont they clash with each other at some point ?

  23. Microwave bad effect on food qi ?

    waterdrop replied to waterdrop's topic in General Discussion

    do you think a good diet helps the chi flow ? do you relate Phyto-chemicals to chi somehow ?

  24. Microwave bad effect on food qi ?

    waterdrop replied to waterdrop's topic in General Discussion

    im conufesd you wrote : " In cooked food there is limited Qi, not worth counting " hence raw food should be considered better with more qi ? so a raw diet (not fruiterian spesificly ) can have much more qi no ? and that is suppose to be a good thing no ?

  25. Microwave bad effect on food qi ?

    waterdrop replied to waterdrop's topic in General Discussion

    In cooked food there is limited Qi That is interesting - so your saying people who eat raw diet get a ton of qi ? what about fruitrians they get even more qi ?
