Soaring

Hello eveybody, Like the title says, I'm starting out with qigong/neidan, but after a bit of research and watching this video of Nathan Brine, he mentions that in order to start doing internal alchemy you first need a foundation, basically being able to sense qi. Therefore I was hoping that some senior could help me with some basic info about some meditions or breathing excercises that would help me start building basic qi awareness. Also I would also apreciate some advice on how to visualize and/or start to feel the lower dantien in order to start building qi and what are some breathing meditions that i could use to build qi, I like those quite quite a bit after having a good time with the Wim Hoff method. i

Thank you for the reply and the knowledge , I just followed the guide videos for the Wim Hoff method on youtube, never received training in person. I very much enjoy the silence during the breath hold allowing me to feel alot of sensations in the body, also after the breath hold I usually get to see blue light behind my eyelids if my eyes are closed. Also a couple of times I could feel warmth in the area of the LDT, after trying to breathe lower in my belly with a focus on gathering qi there. A few days ago I also started to do Zhan Zhuang thanks to a recomendation from @Trunk

Hello, Nice to greet you all, I am very excited to be apart of this community. I've ended up here after being a fan of cultivation manhuas and donghuas for a while now. I found out that some of the concepts, sistems and traditions explained in those cultivation stories are actually inspired from reality, which was a mind blowing discovery for me. That being said I would also like to start being a practitioner to improve my well being and discover new dimensions of this life that so far I've been ignorant about. I would really appreciate some advice on how to get started, maybe a course or something, like I said I'm a complete beginner.

I have a follow up question after looking through the forum, my financials are not great because i live in Romania and the salary is rather low. I see that https://authenticneigong.com/ course costs 400 pounds for the lvl 1 group course with additional 50 dollars montly fees to have access to the discord and following levels, while the dvd for Master Jenny Lamb is only 45 dollars. Would any senior be kind enough to provide some insight on what path I should walk on, and what are the differences between the two, or if you have some other recommendation. The only thing holding me back is money, anything over 200 euro is a bit much for me, that is my budget for now.

Thank you seniors for the help and recommendations !
