Hello everyone i’ve been dealing with a lot of suppressed anger from childhood. Recently, I did a healing session with a Qigong master, and during that moment I felt a strong wave of old childhood anger. Some memories even appeared before my inner eye. When I work on certain body parts—especially the throat—I can actually hear myself as a child screaming. It’s a fascinating and intense experience. What I’ve noticed is that when I feel old sadness, I remain fairly grounded. But when I feel anger, I become ungrounded and unsettled. I’m curious: are there specific Qigong exercises or approaches that can help in transforming or releasing anger in a healthy way ?

Is it just me or is it harder to heal suppressed emotions than the ones I feel in the moment? For me, this shows up for example with suppressed anger. When I feel anger in the moment, it’s so much easier to work with. I can notice it, breathe through it, even express it in a healthier way. Since I’ve started practicing Qigong, I’ve noticed I’m less passive-aggressive and more able to show “clean,” direct anger instead of burying it. That kind of anger actually feels constructive and protective. But suppressed anger—the old stuff I pushed down years ago—feels completely different. Working with it feels much harder than with fresh emotions, almost like dealing with a shadow instead of something right in front of me. I wonder if it’s because back then I didn’t have tools like Qigong, so the anger just got stored up inside me. For those of you on your own healing journey: Do you also find it harder to process old, suppressed anger than anger in the moment? What helps you truly release it, instead of just re-experiencing it?

yes i do sense it needs body work when i want to focus on trapped emotions

i searched for it, couldnt find it . well it is how it is

oh is that thread still there?

I resonate with what you shared about forgiveness and loving-kindness. In Spring Forest Qigong, we see emotions as energies that directly affect our organs. For example, anger can put strain on the liver, and the liver is also connected with the eyes. I’ve come to see how much unprocessed anger can weigh on my system. What i want to focus on is that the healing vibration for the liver is joy. So when I feel anger—whether toward a person or toward a situation—my goal is: not to deny the anger, but to gently bring in the energy of joy at the same time. It’s not always about the person who hurt me, because sometimes the trigger is simply life circumstances. But in either case, if I can allow myself to think of the situation while holding even a small spark of joy within, it starts to shift the energy. The key for me is realizing that I can’t always change what’s outside, but I can cultivate what’s inside. When I let the vibration of joy move through me, it feels like my liver and my whole system can breathe again.

yes thats what i did. thank you for your confirmation ok i think i should show patience with the progress. i feel impatience and think i should look for other practices. but i actually know that the practice i found is already powerful

I’m a bit confused about something. I heard that Master Chunyi Lin said that Spring Forest Qigong Level 1 already contains everything we need. But then I also heard that the Level 1 practice used to be different in the past compared to today. are those seen as level one exercises? or something else? 1) Beginning of the Universe 2) Forming of Yin & Yang 3) Moving of Yin & Yang 4) Breathing of the Universe 5) Joining of Yin & Yang 6) Harmony of the Universe 7) Seven Steps of New Life I’d appreciate any clarification!

Hello everyone, I’ve recently started volunteer work in a center for elderly people, a large number of them are living with dementia. The experience has been powerful and unsettling. Part of me wants to meet them with compassion… but part of me feels sadness, even fear, watching how their minds slowly dissolve: Some cover up memory gaps with jokes. Many repeat the same conversation four or five times in a row. Others speak of places or activities they haven’t done in years, as if they were happening right now. Without constant repetition of simple topics, they quickly become lost. It often feels like meaningful, deep connection is impossible. And this shakes me: Where is Dao here? Where is Spirit? If the mind fades like this, is real connection still possible? So I’m reaching out to you: From a Daoist perspective, how can I understand dementia? Is there a way to flow with the repetition instead of resisting it? How can I find peace and Dao in this environment that feels so heavy and repetitive? Thank you deeply for any insights.

Wow—either I’m dumber than I thought, or this is something truly profound that just takes a lot of unpacking. Thank you so much for your post! I find the ideas in it very fascinating, but I have to admit that I find some parts of the text quite difficult to follow. Many terms, like solar deva, atma, or buddhic, i am not familiar with. and the sentences are quite complex with a lot of depth, making it hard for me to grasp the flow of thought. The text also moves between different levels—physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual—and between systems like Egyptian, Kabbalistic, and Christian, - for me it is hard to see how these levels and systems connect with each other. are you into explaining the terms briefly , or add some examples, analogies, or a simple overview of the levels. That way, i can understood your response better. Thank you again for taking the time to share so much knowledge—I really appreciate it!

i had enough luck thank you a lot

Hello can i have a PPD thank you for this service

Hey Lairg, this sounds interesting, could you explain this a bit more

actually i already had similiar thoughts and these thoughts are really helping me fel more relaxed. thank you for taking time to put it into words. i deeply appriciate it-

thank you i really dont know if this is for me or not. i changed my perspective and now i did enjoy the people, but i only have been there for two days. i wonder how i feel about it in a week :?

wow thank you for sharing this this is gold. thank you i actually started to apply this. and now i do enjoy working with those people. at the end it is just like you said "their reality is just as untrue/true as mine"

Hello Everyone I’m looking for spiritual practices to help me stay grounded in my own energy while being around others. For example, Qigong helps me find my center again, and I often ask myself, “Is this feeling truly mine or coming from someone else?” I’m curious if you use other clear techniques or rituals that help with this? If you’d like to discuss broader personal experiences (such as general sensitivity or longer stories), please DM me — I’m happy to listen privately. Otherwise, the thread can get a bit overwhelming and I might end up missing some helpful tips. For this thread, please share only practical tips, exercises, rituals related to sensing other peoples energetic Thank you — I’m looking forward to your helpful, focused tips!

sir, explain this for me sounds interesting thank you for putting in the links. very kind of you! do you know about dr hew len and his amazing forgiveness practice , what you say reminds me of him. Dr. Hew Len became famous for applying this method in an unusual way: he reportedly helped heal a ward of severely mentally ill prisoners without directly interacting with them. Instead, he worked entirely on himself, taking 100% responsibility for his own thoughts, judgments, and energy connected to the ward. The practical steps are simple and inward-focused: mentally or softly repeat: “I am sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.” – directed toward yourself or toward the energy you sense. In this way, the prayer of Ho’oponopono works like this: one opens the heart toward all beings, while you cleanse your own mind and energy, helping dissolve accumulated psychic residue and gently restoring inner harmony.

Hey everyone I’ve been practicing Spring Forest Qigong since two years and have noticed it really helps me feel more balanced, calm, and energized. I’d love to connect with someone who’s also practicing Spring Forest Qigong For me, sharing experiences, exchanging tips, and inspiring each other makes it much easier to stay consistent and go deeper into the practice. I believe it can be so uplifting for both sides when we grow together. If this speaks to you, let’s connect and see how we can support and inspire each other on this journey! In gratitude, Kati

i agree, it cannot replace it. it needs a certain psychological stability for energy work. i still sense qigong goes beyong the psyche, because it helps me connect with my soul does this make sense?

The more I learn about Daoism and Qigong, the more I sense this path goes far beyond the healing I’ve known through psychological methods. Still: Qigong can NOT replace psychology. it needs a certain psychological stability for energy work. i still sense qigong goes beyong the psyche, because it helps me connect with my soul Psychological approaches have helped me understand and process my mind and emotions — but Daoist practice feels like it works on a different order of reality. It’s not just about repairing or managing the self, but about transforming the very framework that creates the self in the first place. For those of you who can relate, i wonder how did you notice the shift from “healing” to something beyond healing? I would love to hear how others have experienced this crossing-over point.

Thank you all for taking the time to share your thoughts. It seems that remaining rooted in stillness is essential. In stillness i can flow with the energies around me without being influenced by them or becoming entangled in the illusions of the five senses. the more i learn about daoism and qigong, i can sense that this is going far beyond the healing i can get with psychological methods. i am happy to explore this

nice sharing! god bless you yes that i hoopono pono ritual from hawaiins. really powerful

Hey everyone, I’ve been curious about the Vasudhara mantra and whether anyone here has had real success with it—both in the material and spiritual sense. I’m not used to thinking of wealth as something deeply spiritual, but I’m starting to realize that it actually can be. It’s challenging to shift my perspective from seeing wealth purely as “money” to seeing it as a form of abundance and harmony that supports spiritual growth. If you’ve worked with the Vasudhara mantra, how did it affect you? Did it change your relationship with wealth—both in the outer, practical sense and in your inner life? I’d love to hear your experiences or insights, especially if you’ve gone through a similar shift in perspective.

haha, yes keep it to yourself, and make sure to not answer my question at all cost
