Thank you guys for responding so quickly! It's a lot to take in but, I decided to do a rune reading today. I got Tiwaz, Fehu and Jera respectively. All of them right side up, so I'm hopeful for good things. My head hurts a little after doing it (sort of like it's expanding), right near the temples. Unsure what to make of it thus far but here's to good things!

Welcome to DaoBums!
What type of meditation and qigong do you practice and how long have you been practicing?
Would you be willing to share any thoughts or feelings you have regarding what is happening to you?
The world of our experience is largely determined, or influenced, by our perspective.
That perspective is determined by our conditioning, our life experience, and, if we are diligent and successful, our spiritual practices.
Consequently, to discuss what you are experiencing needs context, otherwise any answers you receive will be valid for those offering them but may not be relevant or meaningful for you.
(this is simply my perspective, of course)
Hi there Steve!
Meditation for me is mostly sitting in silence, focusing on breathing for 30 or so minutes. Sometimes i lay down because my back hurts, other times I sit with my legs crossed. I've been dipping my toes into Spring Forest and Flying Phoenix! I like Spring Forest a lot. I've only been practicing for a little while- a month or two at most, before that it was just basic movements from Mimi Kuo Deemer like 8 Brocades and 5 Elements.
I dunno how to feel about it to be honest! It's neat, I guess, I sort of thought it was like energy imprints. It happens with my runes a lot- when I want to pick one and I have them all down turned, up to three will have energy around them so I pick those ones. I have a roommate now so I don't do readings as often anymore but that's something I distinctly remember.
I hope I'm making sense!

Hi Bums!
Ever since I started meditating and doing Qi Gong, I've been feeling energy on Items. It doesn't matter what kind they are (I could be drinking from a cup I always use and it has a warm feeling to it, versus a table that has a softer warmness to it. ) What exactly is it that's happening? I'm a little confused! Thank you!

Congratulations!--hearing sound(s) that one isn't certain of their source(s). That is one of the sure signs of correct meditation and that the body is truly relaxing. All meditation / yoga traditions have side-effects of telepathy and clairvoyance. My experience in Taoist and Buddhist monastic Qigong systems is that clairaudience is also an occuring and most interesting side-effect. I believe that you are the first to report this phenomenon. So congrats!
Not only does FP Qigong facilitated clairaudience enable one to hear sounds and human conversations that are at a great distance and tnat are normally not audible, but it may also open the channel to auditory dreams--i.e. dreamstates where information channels in only through sounds. I myself have had only one auditory dream in my lifetime so far; it came in 1980 and was extremely prophetic, to say the least.
About your experience of "carbonation" and the bubbling feeling: that bubbling feeling that's like a churning or roiling is normally first felt in the tan tien, which is a great and mighty milestone to achieve in any system of Qigong. But if you are feeling "bubbling" in other parts of your body or throughout your body in general, that's a phenomenon I have not experienced. And that is not to question nor invalidate your experience of the FP Qi cultivation one iota. Everybody responds to the FP Qigong in their own unique way--on top of the common phenomena that FP practitioners have experienced and reported on this thread.Continue to enjoy your carbonation and let us know your FP practice evolves especially as you practice the Vol.4 Long Form Standing Meditation ("FPHHCM")--auditory channeling and all!
Happy New Year!

Zen-bear! Thank you!
Today I practiced more Flying Phoenix Qi Gong and felt extreme warmth in my arms and legs, later on almost overheating in my core. No chimes this time (something like distant chanting happened after), it seems like I'm feeling auras? I can feel my own at least, and parts that hurt (my joints) feel cold. I can't tell if those are energy blockages or just stored up trauma. There was a buzzing feeling in my hands during the practice. Maybe some blockages, I dunno! (It also made me very hungry.) Thank you for explaining clairaudience!!

"Carbonated" sounds good to me! --i.e., you experiencing good results from the capstone Long Form Standing Meditation. You're the first practitioner in all the years I've been doing and teaching FP Qigong (since 1991) to use the word "carbonated" to describe the allostatic energization. Thank you for that contribution!
Keep on practicing the Long Form capstone (eventually, no pressure, try doing 2 rounds back to back with any duration of a break in between). That will accelerate your cultivation so that you'll eventually feel carbonated form head to toe. He carbonation of the ALL the matter inside the skull, as described in previous posts over the years, is absolutely sublime and blissful. GM Doo Wai accurately described it as a "washing" sensation. I can attest that it's a deep, gentle cycle.Happy Holidays.

Thank you for responding so quickly! 😺I didn't know how else to describe it except for carbonation. I tried it again this afternoon and rather than the bubbling feeling, I heard what sounded like chimes in the distance. They were very pretty sounding, but I'm unsure of where they came from.
I'll keep practicing and give updates, ask for advice, and so on! Thank you for the pointers and for the thread! 🐱

Hi! Today I was doing FP and my legs were feeling carbonated. It was like energy was bubbling in them, if that makes sense. I'm hoping it's a good sign!

Today while doing Flying Phoenix QG my legs felt like they were carbonated, if that makes sense? Like there were bubbles in them up to the knee, which I've never felt before. Once my roommate came out and I lost my focus it stopped, but I'm hoping that was progress.

Hello, hello, hello! 🐱
It's nice to be here! I lurked for a while before deciding to join. I became interested in Qi Gong and Nei Dan through my Papa, who tried to get me into Tai Chi when I was younger. I wasn't interested then, unfortunately, but I am now!
I'm 21, I really like cats, and I hope to have fun here! Thank you!

Qi blockages as knots
in Daoist Discussion
Posted
Hi Bums!
I'm curious if anyone else has experienced feeling Qi blockages as "knots", so to speak. In my practice it seems like once I figure out how to "untie" the knots, the blockages feel like they're removed. For me, the knots are around the elbows and knees. The mantras "Namo Guan Shi Yin Pusa" and "Om Tare Tuttare Ture Soha" have been helpful as well.
Good day!
