Hi everyone Does anyone know how I can learn Sifu Jenny Lamb's Yigong level 1? I have bought the course on her website but I haven't received any download and I have written to them via the contact form, but haven't gotten any reply. Hope someone can help. All the best

Do you have a specific practice that cultivates the heart light? Couldn't find a description of it in the link you sent.

Hello everyone, I'm 34 years old and got really interested in first personal development and later spirituality in my early 20s. However, I still haven't found a path that I have been able to stick with and I would love to get some input on how to find and/or stick with a chosen path. Maybe my expactations to a path are too high and that is the problem, but if possible my whishes for a path is that it will: - Help me get enlightened (beyond oneness) - Support my health either directly og indirectly (I've been ill from house mold in the last couple of years and only recently found out the cause, so if it can support my health the would be great) - Help heal emotions, shadow sides, unconscious biases - Strengthen my relationships to my wife, son, friends etc. - Help my worldly succes (a reasonable amount of money is nice, but what is most important to me is having a job that I love, where things flow somewhat, knowing that nothing is ever perfect of course) - Help me enjoy life (not getting a monk-like aversion to life and people) - Have a community (I feel quite lonely on this path) I believe I have a talent in this area, however I'm also very aware that dedicated and focused practice is needed for talent to be useful. To be clear, I do practice a decent amount - I just switch practice way too often, I think. My concernes with many paths are: - Are they for monks? How many householders have become enlightened on the path? - Will I lose interest in life? - Do I need more time than I have to practice to get where I want to get? - Has the teacher become possessed by confusing divine with astral entities? I have had wonderful teachers, that I believe now are possessed or very ungrounded. These haven't been my teachers but just to give two examples: Look at H.H. Dalai Lama before 2019, in 2016 fx., and now, and Eckhart Tolle in 2008 and now - both have (most likely unknowingly) gotten involved with astral entities in my opinion. And many, many others have too, I believe. As I understand it, there was a shift in 2012 making spiritual development fasten a lot , but also making it much easier for astral entities to goet contact to humans. Some of the options that I consider: - Zen in the Shodo Harada Roshi lineage: I have a teacher in my country who I believe is awakened: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5bNUhqxrUI&t=1182s. His energy and consciousness helps a lot and there is a community although not particularly social people. I also feel, the practice and result can seem a little dry to me and very monk-ish - Kunlun/Yigong: Something I can do on my own and is something that householders can do without sacrificing too much time. No community though, no teachers close and are the promises too good to be true. I realise that it can seem a bit paranoid, but I also wonder if Kan and Max have become involve with some entities, but I'm not sure at all. - Chanting Namo Amituofo: It is easy, youn don't need a teacher and you get protection from the chanting. It is less dry than Zen. - Transcendental meditation: The most effortless and enjoyable practice I've ever tried and not like any other chanting /mantra recitation practice that I have tried. TM is quite unique in it's method even though many says that it is just a concentration practice - it is not and you don't concentrate. It is actually like Kunlun/Yigong in many ways. It helps me enjoy life and is quite effective, however you easily get ungrounded, get less respect from others and less natural human protection from other energies if you get ungrounded. So once a day for 20 minutes is probably maximum and then I wonder - can I get enlightened by doing so little practice? : ) Overall as a person, I love love and bliss, but often feel that I need the grounding, however I'm afraid that it will get too dry, that I will get uninterested in life and that I need to become a monk to really progress. I hope I have made myself somewhat clear, but some things are probably unclear/confusing in what I have written, which may be one of the reasons why I can't choose a path and stick with it. I would love to get some input. All the best, Kasper

Thank your for your input, Lairg. How did you discern whether the source of the new techniques were good and not trying to lure you into a bad relationship? Would you mind explaining the heart light work, you mentioned?

Thank you all. It is also my experience that the involuntary movements can happen when doing other methods or no method at all. I got shaktipat from Jan Esmann (and David Spero was there in Denmark adventitiously at my first encounter with Jan) and around the same time got it from Jivanmukti from siddhantayoga, where the basic practice was just to let go and let "spontaneous kriyas" happen. Later I also learned Dr. Berceli's TRE-method, which in some was seems like Yigong/Kunlun - get in position and let the body do its job. With my shaktipat teachers I felt there either was some personality issues or (later) entity issues, which made my stop. And TRE doesn't have a spiritual tradition, which I missed. So I hope/hoped that Yigong/Kunlun would be a good alternative. However, Max's stories and promises also seems too good to be true. But I think you are right, that although we all have many things in common as humans but we are also different and will have different experiences, so in the end I have to see how it works for me - still very useful to get you input, though!

Thank you for your reply! I did actually search on the forum to read other people's experiences, however a lot of the talk was about Max' credibility and person and it became a little confusing. But I will take another look and see if I can seperate the useful from the less useful.

Thank you both @liminal_luke and @Sahaja! I have learned kunlun from Max' book, but wanted to see if Sifu Jenny's instruction was the same. It sounds like it, so thank for clearing that up. It is not particularly profound, though? Are you able to expand a bit on that? I read on Jenny's website that all most people need is level one yigong and that it would open all the channels eventually, but I would love to hear what your experience with it is.

Thank you for your reply. Is there none else teaching it?

There is a lot of talk about not speaking ill of your teachers, but I think it is important to tell the truth, so other people can learn from it, if they want. So thank you for being open about it. From what I have heard at qitalks etc., he is quite open about getting angry sometimes and not being perfect, which is great. However, plastic surgery doesn't fit with being a spiritual teacher in my opinion. Caring about your looks is fine and even appropriate in many ways, but surgery is too extreme in my view. I just thought that his skin were getting better because of his practice. Btw. my first message about SFQ wasn't a suggestion, but a question actually. But I do have one - Bodhi meditation might help. But again, I'm no expert. Just wanted to mention them in case it could help you.

Crazy. Gotta take time to digest that.

Wow, it really didnt expect those things. How do you know he got plastic surgery and that he doesnt see his kids much, if you comfortable me asking?

Ah, sorry to hear that. And thank you for the answer. Have you noticed any difference in him the last few years? I have a feeling that many very advanced teachers have changed in recent years, perhaps unknowingly gotten involved in less than divine entities, thinking they are divine. I have heard that it is the case with many after 2012. My sense is that Master Lin maybe one of them (2024-2025). But Im no expert.

Hi Nuralshamal I read previously that you practiced Spring Forest Qigong. Couldn't Master Lin help? Perhaps his blessings meditations?
