    I would like to warn you that this system should not be used to hurt others. I dont know if there isnt any rule specified on the lineage but Im saying to you: DONT DO THAT

     

    I challanged a kickboxer last year while using those techniques and I can tell you: THEY DONT WORK FIR FIGHTING. Everyone laughed at me and I ended with a broken nose and other minor bruises.

     

     

     

    Is Zhineng supposed to be a martial system? 


  2. Aside from doing the daily practice, there are other areas that should be monitored to receive maximum benefit from your training. Hold these in harmony. 

     

    -Diet 

    -Sexual Energy

    -Sleep

    -Muscle Tension (flexibility) 

    -Expenditure of Mental and Emotional energy  

     

     

     

     


  3. You are simping pretty hard for this girl. My advice: don't do it.

     

    Stay away from this situation at all costs. Put your dick in your pocket.....marriage is over-rated....you think once marriage happens it will solve your problems? Forming this kind of spiritual contract with another person whom is immature and not ready for a "life partner" may turn your life to a darker realm of Being.

  4. Psychic Self Defense is a thing. A quick trick is to put a small cactus in your room and have it guard the space. There are many books on the topic. Not sure what methods of cultivation your pursuing, but they may have some tools within the tradition for protection.

  5. Still exploring, found strong correlations between Skeletal and Mountain chi. Mountains in many cultures are sacred spaces for the gathering/channeling of power and usually play a strong role in mythology.

     

    There is also a crossover between crystals and the skeletal system. Still don't fully understand, but I will likely do another post on Crystal Gong in the future.

    i am impatient, i want to get instantly the things i desire.

     

    when will i know that i am mature enough?

     

     

     

    You should abandon the path of cultivation.....it requires daily practice over many years to achieve above average results. Patience and discipline is required. Here are some signs of immaturity...you can grasp maturity by observing its opposite.  

     

    Signs of immaturity

    1. Feeling of being "above" others 

    2. Lacking patience/discipline 

    3. Messy-grey-dull aura 

    4. Messiah complex 

    5. Lacking control of one's Energy/Intent

    6. Tense/Controlling Disposition 

     

    .......etc

  7. Tantra in many ways is about bringing "awareness" to the sexual act.....so to unconsciously be in a Tantric relationship is a bit counter-intuitive.

     

    Sex is not only a physical exchange, but a highly charged energetic exchanged. In Tantra or Sacred Sex, your putting a larger focus on the energy exchange and experiencing the Bliss of Union....rather than quick "unconscious release".

     

    Deeper Union with another creates a stronger bond between people...so that's something important to take into consideration. Be aware of whom your allowing into your "space", there "intent" and the cords your forming. 

     

    A couple of valuable books IMO: 

    -The Heart of Tantric Sex Dian Richardson (she has many good books) 

    -Sex Sorcery and Spirit by Jason Miller


  8. Here is an exercise, for the OP, don't do it for anymore than 5 minutes a day, for the first 7 months, the process of working through the issues in your system will likely be painful (uncomfortable releases). Once things "gently open", you can go deeper. If you'd like any personal assistance to help smooth out and accelerate healing, you can PM me ($).

  9. Lot of different approaches: Energy, Mind, Emotion, Body Postures/Mudra

     

    Taoist practices tend to focus on energy cultivation.....though i am hesitant to make that a rule of thumb as what we experience as Westerners in terms of Taoist practices is limited....same thing likely applies to Buddhism and it's various sects.
