Not a plug (ok maybe a little bit), but I recently did a consultation with Eric Isen, medical clairvoyant from a different (Indian) system. He's pretty highly regarded in the Flying Phoenix thread and you can find more info there. But he's said some pretty good things about Tao Tan Pai kung fu forms and their health effects -- Cane form: Activates and enlivens the spleen chakra. Qi radiates in the lower body and into the lymphatic system. Very good for the gut. Crane form: Activates and enlivens the 3rd (navel) chakra sending qi to the adrenals and digestive organs. improves energy and digestion Monkey form: Activates and opens the first chakra causing qi to flow into the meridians and up the spine activating all the chakras. two through seven. Not sure how much of this is specific to my constitution, but looks like a good sign.

It's both medical and martial. Sifu Terry has mentioned that it can be used "for any purpose" (healing, combat, enhancing daily activities)

I’ve been avoiding the Sleeper on Vol 7 (50 20 10) because it knocks me out too hard — I’ll sleep 12 hours and be groggy in the morning. Does anyone else have a similar experience?

Very interesting- I’ve gotten similar hexagrams when asking the I Ching multiple times about Tao Tan Pai. The first time I got 34.5 -> 43 as posted here. The second time (a couple months later) I asked “what do I need to know about my Tao Tan Pai practice” and got 34.2,5 -> 49. Very interesting that I got Hexagram 34 and Changing Line 5 both times! And Line 2: Explanation:

I am starting this discussion thread with Sifu Terry Dunn's approval -- here to discuss Tao Tan Pai Kung Fu and Neigong. I've been practicing Tao Tan Pai since April of this year (8 months now). Have had many benefits already: - more energy -- especially when I'm feeling dull or tired, TTP has been a great waker upper - mental clarity - relaxation - catalyzing my practice of Flying Phoenix I recently asked the I Ching about Tao Tan Pai, and the hexagram I got was 34 (Great Power) changing Line 5 to 43 (Breakthrough). Judgment: Image: Changing line 5: Curious what it could mean 🤔 Anyways, I'm excited to get this discussion going!
