I'm not talking about TCM herbs, the teacher specifically said the alchemical herbs are not TCM herbs. TCM herbs can get one to be healthy, but alchemical herbs can get one beyond healthy, and they are rare. LiuWeiDiHuangWan is the opposite of rare (I've had many bottles of it in the past, and HeShouWu can damage the liver). I've visited many TCM doctors. All except one were clueless and incompetent.

I've heard from a certain teacher that there are alchemical herbs that can replenish the Jing and therefore assist one's cultivation. I'd be interested to know what they are or where I can find more info.

I never said it can’t be done. But if using herbal assistance can greatly shorten the time it takes, I think the path would be worth considering.

When I take cannabis and do Dan Tian meditation, I can feel a large area of fluid energy bobbing around in my body. It’s hard to control but if I try hard I can control it and compress it into a much smaller area into the Dan Tian. But I was afraid if I held it in its compressed state it could overpower my meridians and explode therefore cause damage, so I quickly relinquished control of it. Side topic - my body was also shaking and it felt like I was in 2nd Jhana (strong Piti (rapture) and Sukha (bliss)) but if I tune my mind I could drop the Piti and (seemingly) enter 3rd Jhana (without Piti but Sukha remains). I seemed to also be able to enter the 4th Jhana (Sukha dropped, equanimity is developed) by further refining my mental state but tbh I’m afraid of 4th Jhana because I don’t want to alter reality or my life by accident. (You can change reality in 4th Jhana) (Could totally be my delusion on the Jhana part, granted) So my question is, has anyone heard of, or even had experience of, using cannabis to build Dan Tian container or gather Chi to Dan Tian?

Hi all, I've been lurking around the forum for many years and finally registered because there are some posts I'd like to participate in. I've been practicing neigong for 10+ years and would love to discuss related topics with fellow practitioners. This is the best place on the internet for it, I'm grateful that such place exists.
