sounds like what i have to do in my qigong practice , feel the qi in the body and be in a state of being and not being with whatever i feel : thank you for sharing this. it is a nice reminder Mark

nicely put. this is an issue we have as humans. we can all be smart and spiritual, and still because of different intellects have a hard time to get the message from another person you really are good at getting what i looked for. exactly, heart melts... ahaa i am happy that i get spirtual growth without this kind of spirtual practice. but if it helps them, i wont interfere haha yes it did

dont get this either is this about feeling oneness? some of these quotes are somehow a bit cryptical. does that make sense? this sounds great, while i dont get it at all. looks to me like i need a degree to get this. i do have a degree in philosophy and read because of it quite a lot of spiritual literature. right now that degree doesnt seem to help to get this.

i dont get this part. can you explain this in your own words i feel actually to dumb to understand all these quotes. therefore i might get it better when you share from your personal experience

Welcome Mehmet i think you are exactly in the right place with your experiences. i can relate to your experience in childhood. i am glad that you found qigong and because of this, now all your childhood experiences make sense. at least i hope this is or will be the case for you

Hello everyone, I’ve been practicing Spring Forest Qigong (SFQ) as taught by Master Chunyi Lin. The system emphasizes healing, transforming emotions, opening energy channels, and cultivating inner balance. I don’t know much about Neidan, but from what I understand it seems to be something related to Qigong and a valuable part of Taoist inner practice. My question: Do you think SFQ contains elements of Neidan? Does the focus on transforming emotions, refining Qi, and connecting to the heart/mind parallel the Neidan teaching . I would love to hear from practitioners who have studied both SFQ and Neidan, or who see overlaps and differences. Thank you! 🙏

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!
