  1. What do you think about Neidan(內丹)?

    There's the Golden Elixir and the Gold Elixir😁
  2. What do you think about Neidan(內丹)?

    Your master has fully original hair color? Who is he / she?
  3. What do you think about Neidan(內丹)?

    Tension is dissolved? This is exactly what I am talking about.
  4. What do you think about Neidan(內丹)?

    I would trust Awareness much more than the mind because Awareness is Godly intelligence whereas the mind f*cks thing up usually.
  5. What do you think about Neidan(內丹)?

    I think there are secrets in FP but it requires deep cultivation time to unlock.
  6. What do you think about Neidan(內丹)?

    Everybody can see their true nature right now, it is the basis for every experience, therefore there is no requirement necessary. I think you are talking about a so-called stage of a realization where one has abided in their true nature and exhausted 'karma'. I think the reason true nature is emphasized is because seeing it can free one more than engaging in ming-practice which can further delusion. But that is a matter of Destiny. Abiding in true nature does not directly infuse you with jing, it is more of a relaxing, where channels open up indirectly by freeing up tension. Ming is more a like inflating your tires on your bike-practice.
  7. What do you think about Neidan(內丹)?

    I don't know about that, but from the Wuzhen Pian Gold elixir = your true nature. If you think vitality = no grey hair, I would ask for a living proof of that, do you have a pic of a master who has the realization of a Buddha and no grey hair?
  8. What do you think about Neidan(內丹)?

    From Lama Dawai Gocha: I suggest asking for a pointing out in a live session to see Awareness for yourself.
  9. Dzogchen/Mahamudra Resources

    There's a book available now from meditationonline in case you are interested https://mo-sangha.github.io/book/book.pdf
  10. Looking for grounding exercises

    Have you tried Flying Phoenix Qigong? It has helped me with qi deviation. Not specifically with grounding but healing. The following meditation can be done from 5 minutes and up.
  11. What do you think about Neidan(內丹)?

    Practicing nei dan from whatever you read on tdb will lead you to hell, a quite personal hell, because you are practicing wrong. Find a realized teacher.
  12. I like this video on the Don't Know Mind
  13. everything is perfect...?

    Not sure what perfect really means and what everything means either? Depends on context. Whether they are speaking from Awareness and then "everything is perfect" could be a pointing out. The conceptual mind apprehending on the meaning, then going with it, creating a story about how perfect it is or how some things are not perfect etc is not really what it it is about. I would just abide in pure awareness and letting everything that comes up be. Thoughts, emotions etc. Let the energy run out of fuel. Coming to a conclusion about the ineffeable is not possible. Because the ineffeable cannot be put in a box.
  14. My misconceptions

    If in doubt I can recommend a pointing out by a qualified dzogchen teacher. It makes a tangible difference from being stuck in mind vs being Awareness.
  15. Correct as in my experience. It can jump levels but just saying that does not portray what is going on in its entirety. SM created major energetic imbalances as I mentioned many times on this site.
  16. Flying Phoenix Chi Kung

    Thanks for the reminder. I have some pains in right arm due to computer work so that meditation is a good remedy for that. This time I could also sense an unblocking of the heart while doing the meditation.
  17. Flying Phoenix Chi Kung

    Fresh out of twice doing the long form then I felt like moving through time. I was doing the form in my living room and I could sense my body lying on the sofa behind me. When resting I usually lie down on the sofa. I am not sure how to interpret this? 😁 So I did the form again, very slow and in the last move where the hands move down in front of you it was as if seeing life as a movie being winded back and I was there in a big space. How have you been experiencing FP lately?
  18. Flying Phoenix Chi Kung

    One more thing. I find Dvd7 med #4 good for awareness meditation. Do that first or end your meds with #4, then abide in pure awareness for the amount of minutes you like doing.
  19. Yes-But-Mind vs. Don't-Know-Mind

    From Namkhai Norbu, dzogchen master There are the turnings of the wheel in Buddhism. As for any split, I don't see any, it is a matter of Destiny / affinity.
  20. Yes-But-Mind vs. Don't-Know-Mind

    One thing I have learned by sitting everyday doing nothing is to let the mind do its thing and just watch it by not reacting or following stories. Also being verbally quiet and let it air out until there is no reaction left in the body-mind. This is undoing the do-er which itself is an object in awareness.
  21. Yes-But-Mind vs. Don't-Know-Mind

    If one is intellectualising awakening Life will throw things at you to shake things up in your system.
  22. Yes-But-Mind vs. Don't-Know-Mind

    Exactly, this is freedom.
  23. Opinions on Psychotherapy

    Something like VortexHealing is much deeper than psychotherapy but sometimes a mix is good for releasing blocks in your system. Facing a person revealing your inner thoughts and feelings can aid in the path since the ego doesn't like vulnerability. Ultimately the path is to let go of the 'I' - marinate in Presence and let the mind release itself.
  24. Any interesting Health Hacks to share?

    Move to South East Asia.
