If it were that simple there would not be specific static or moving meditations linked to each breathing sequence. For example monk gazing at moon can also be done with eyes closed using another breathing sequence from level 17. How to explain it? No idea 😊

Your Experience of Standing Meditation
johndoe2012 replied to Nuralshamal's topic in Daoist Discussion
See https://www.amazon.com/Internal-Alchemy-Everyone-Chungtao-Ho-ebook/dp/B07JC96GVR/ref=sr_1_3?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.vtVRZxGNrBR-HTwEOiqCWznK81b6PHP7_BRqdyYG-3Yw1pmLNvm1Lcm2MSoACpkDap82XjkOvQCXOdPSAeI5CxnPEMKUfdHaiYvLWtullhwOzOtDobK9M-BIQ9OgtQqR7Yn-OVpeTtjkUJoC2ix2Yw.wH2IiXW0TL8d9-xPryjeA2FntZBxOrqxAtc8JX-HS6U&dib_tag=se&keywords=inner+alchemy+for+everyone&sr=8-3 My own opinion is the foundation for any practice is stillness and that building qi in your dantian too early can lead to big qi deviations and psychological issues due to traumas in your system (which nearly everyone has). So stillness and trauma-clearing before any qi building exercises. Lots of qi can also inflate your ego like air inflates a ballon. So another thing to look out for.- 82 replies

Does Taoism use "direct pointing"
johndoe2012 replied to snowymountains's topic in Daoist Discussion
I think the following quote from The Secret of the Golden Flower, Wilhelm translation is a direct pointing Good for contemplation. -
Please provide an example of non attached romantic relationship. Real life, not in theory. Even Eckhart Tolle says it is not possible to have relationships without attachments. There is more to life than Buddhism. Do you get that humans evolve?

Inner Journey with Greg Friedman & Mogen Roshi

Where did Max get the Red Phoenix practice from? -
I don't feel any effect of arousal that compares to the effect of ejaculation. Most likely it is hearsay rather than actual happening. The need to lessen your desire to reach enlightenment is not needed anymore in my humble opinion. I would say sex with love will actually open your heart more than someone who just meditates. It is real rather than fake and dry.

Sifu Dan LaRochelle and the Rizzo brothers
johndoe2012 replied to DSCB57's topic in Systems and Teachers of
I am slowly resolving birth trauma using flying phoenix. Just by going into a meditation and having your intention of the issue will unravel it. Why do it? That particular issue has been causing me breathing issues, anxiety and energy imbalances for at least 10 years. I’ve tried many other healing methods but they never worked but this one does. Another experience since starting the level 17 meditations: I think I sensed GM Doo Wai the other night giving me a healing of a stomach issue. Interesting times 😊- 37 replies

What you say is true. I have the Golden Lotus Flying phoenix meditation DVDs (level 17 according to GM Doo Wai) and he seems to fall asleep due to the deep relaxation caused by the meditations. He also mentions this in the video. I prefer now to learn from GM Doo Wai because it is better to learn from the source. The deep relaxation the system offers is very helpful and is the only system I have encountered so far that can provide that.- 37 replies

Direct healing of negative emotions I found to be more effective than Buddhist techniques which tend to be more mental and not practical for a householder. Suppression does happen for Buddhists in my experience. The tendency to appear equanimous can just be a facade for buried suppressed emotions. Not sure why anyone would want to put Buddhism on a pedestal. I do it myself from time to time. Then I look at the requirements for dark retreats, 3 years, and stop thinking it is all that wonderful and go back to what works for me in a practical sense. One thing from Buddhism that gives me peace is the wish for the happiness of others. One thing from Buddhism that I dislike is the tendency to view life as 'sucky' and we should engage in meditation for hours rather than enjoy life off-cushion. Enjoying life is actually much better for you since you no longer block life energy and you become happier as a result.

Look up man flow yoga on YouTube. I've mainly used it for erection and increasing blood flow to the pelvic area with good results. Kegel exercises were harmful for my body, yoga with special focus much better.

I suggest making Vietnamese pho (noodle soup) as it contains star anise, cardamon, cinnamon stick and cloves and broth from either chicken or beef. Tasty and healthy.

Flying Phoenix level 2 meditations demonstrated by Doo Wai himself seems powerful from my practice of some of the meditations. The problem with the San Gong etc meditations is the high price but if you can afford it, just go for it.- 37 replies

I think this is why it is better to do self-inquiry, focus on being neutral and non-reactive rather to be overly obsessed with loss of jing.

I don't know when exactly I started doing FPCK, but it has to be more or less from the beginning of the thread. I had some breaks in between, but 13-14 years of FPCK gives some nice results. Some time ago I discovered I can communicate with the energy/intelligence behind FPCK and direct the healing towards specific parts of my system and also other persons and their issues. Whether this is the official way of healing with FPCK I don't know, but it works for me. Also I notice in general with cultivation it is helpful to enjoy life and your passions as the qi flows better in your body and life seems just way better.

The problem is you think you can diagnose things online. It was one drop of cbd 10 %, so very little dosage. It gave that effect because I am very sensitive due to years of training. And no, you don't want increased sensitivity when you are already sensing too much. You want to calm down the system not increase the load on the senses.

What you call reality is wrong perception if it is dual. I used cbd once to see thoughts just as symbols and not really anything concrete. So it was more clear and relaxed than normal 'reality' whatever that was. Thc gives that high feeling like alcohol and I don't like the feeling. I went without alcohol for many months and my brain learned to produce its own feeling of 'this is funny' to avoid the seriousness that kills the joy in people.

I think the increased chi flow is due to the relaxing effect of cbd on the body and increased unstickiness of thoughts. There is the tendency to see the siliness of the seriousness of thoughts due to the thc content I think. I haven't used it to increase chi flow but to relax due to stress and anxiety.

Lotus Nei Gong process; how long?
johndoe2012 replied to galen_burnett's topic in Systems and Teachers of
Check out Scott Kiloby's work. Could be you are suffering from emotional repression that manifests as back pain. Also some energy healing modalities can ease the pain. -
Nothing is relative, all is relative, nothing is relative Is a translation of the zen saying 'first there are mountains, then there are no mountains, then there are mountains again' The middle stage is the non dual bypass discussed by Scott Kiloby by using presence as an escape from the unconscious emotions. It feels like emptiness but actually is the shutdown mechanism the body-mind uses to not face deeper emotions.

On people pleasing 'being nice' All kinds of childhood patterns, traumas need to be addressed. Neither Buddhism nor Daoism do this, you have you look elsewhere for techniques.
-
If you practice enough you'll end up 'good' but note sometimes you have to be a badass since some people only understand things the hard way. People pleasing is not something you deal with in qigong. You might have to look into divine energy healing, kiloby inquiries or something else.

when & why can seeking enlightenment be dangerous?
johndoe2012 replied to old3bob's topic in General Discussion
I was a renunciate in a past life, this life is more about enjoyment, kids, women etc.
