Correct. The speed of doing the breathing formulas can be slower that demonstrations on the DVD series. But breathing must be totally relaxed and diaphraagmatic, natal breathing. And silent One should not hear air moving through your passages. Also, the first 3 priming breathes should be full breaths--as long as you can do comfortably and silently. I explained in the first year of the thread that these 3 breathes set the 100% scale that you then use to do the following various percentage exhalations of each meditation's formula. Enjoy your exploration of FP Qigong. Sifu Terry ttps://www.taichimania.com/chikung_catalog.html terencedunn.substack.com

The Flash Meditations on Vol. 5 work better if one has done all the FP Standing Meds. in Volumes 1, 3, and 4 first...and has the Volume 4 Long Form memorized and feeling its fine benefits. I like to do them in the evenings very slowly--the first 4 meditations on Vol.7. Then I do one or two of seated MSW Mediations on Volume 2 or 7 before going to sleep (--except of course, you NEVER want to do the last med. on Vol.2 (90 80 50 20) at night--if you any intention to sleep!) I remember that around Year 2 of this thread, someone posted that the Volume 5 meditations were like "bon bons". They may seem like that to the uninitiated trying them for the first time without having mastered the preceding standing FP Meditations. But if one has steadily worked through Volumes 1, 3, 4 and established all of the Meditations, when you get to Volume 5 meditations, you will FEEL their effects like nuclear longevity pills (tan). GM Doo Wai taught the " Fei Feng San Gung" ("Flying Phoenix Spiritual Power/Cultivation" ) system to me and my L.A. cohort (from 1991 to 1998) in exactly the order as they are presented in the DVD series. In fact, the last meditation on Vol.5 with (80 70 50 40 30) is NOT an FP Qigong exercise--but a primer meditation for Bat Din Gum (8 Sections of Energy Combined, a legendary martial Qigong system that GM Doo Wai said repeatedly was "more rare than the Do Do Bird"), Out of respect and in reverence to his teachings, I placed that BDG meditation at the end of Vol.5 because that's when he taught it to me and to only two others in the learning circle. All that is to say that the none of the five meditations on Vol. 5 are "bon bons"! LOL. Enjoy your practice and stick with it.

Hello all Tao Tan Pai practitioners, enthusiasts, and curious seekers: The only way to know what Tao Tan Pai ("Taoist Elixir Method") Kung Fu and Nei Kung is is to practice it: This is a last minute reminder and encouragement to attend my 3-day, 14-hour workshop teaching Tao Tan Pai 31 Meditations + 10 Shen Exercises + TTTP Kung Fu Forms this Thursday through Saturday that I'm giving at the lovely Tao Retreat Center over the hill from you in Catskill, NY. I wasn't sure if you knew about this workshop from my free monthly Newsletter. Here is the link to the workshop description: https://open.substack.com/pub/terencedunn/p/on-may-10th-celebrate-lu-tung-pins?r=5i7g9&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false What's different about this TTP-31 workshop from all previoius ones is that I will be teaching the Ten "Shen" Meditations (during the last four sessions of the workshop--starting with the afternoon (2:30 to 4:30pm) session) and also Tao Tan Pai 5 Animal Kung Fu forms (to my intermediate students.) The "Shen" Exercises are truly remarkable. I have never taught them before in a workshop setting on either coast. (Only a couple of times over the past 40 years to my most advanced students). But just within the past 3 weeks, I had the revelation that it's time to teach the Shen system to anyone who's ready for them. The 10 Shen Exercises imbue one with the knowledge of the difference between Ching Qi (metabolic energy) and Shen Qi ("the pure speculative aspect of action"--as per my favorite sr. classmate). "Shen" in Chinese means "(a rising) spirit." The entire Tao Tan Pai Nei Gung system is all about--and only about-- cultivating Shen Qi and Ching-Qi separately and the putting them together to manifest Qi. The Shen exercise are a relatively easy to learn system of 6 standing postures and 4 sedate seated meditations that specifically cultivates "Shen" Qi. Building upon the health, integrated strength, and structural sensitivity conditioned by the TTP-31 Basic Meditations, the "Shen" Exercise System more deeply integrates mind and body and simultaneously develops (A) the physiological capacity to literally see all forms of energy that are not seen in the consensus reality (e.g., any person's psychology, their past incarnations, and present spiritual guides) and (B) psychic intuition, the ability to know in granular detail distant events hitherto unknown in the past, in the present, and in the future. (Take this with 18 shakers of salt for now; but if you do them, they'll deliver such results!) I can almost guarantee you will feel something especially deep, extraordinary, and lasting once you finish the 10 Shen Exercises. It will takes the effects of the Tao Tan Pai 31 Meditations to a higher level--and also one's Flying Phoenix Qigong practice will never be the same after the Shen practice.

MAY 10TH is the 1,229th Birthday of Taoist Immortal (saint) Lu Tung Pin, the de facto leader of the 8 Taoist Immortals of Chinese religion, folklore, and culture. Celebrate this anniversary by learning Lu Tung Pin's Taoist Elixir Method ("Tao Tan Pai") 31 Basic Meditations System from Master Terry Dunn at this special 14-hour workshop on May 8, 9, and 10, at Tao Retreat (Han Chinese Culture Estate), 33 Tao Road, Catskill, NY 12414 Hello to Flying Phoenix Qigong Practioners and practioners of all ancient authentic ancient systems of Qigong, Energy Healing, and Internal Energy Martial arts. From May 8 to 10th, I will be teaching a 3-day, 14-hour immersive residential workshop in: A. Tao Tan Pai (“Taoist Elixir Method“) Basic 31 Meditations; B. The 10 "Shen" Exercises of Tao Tan Pai (A rare, truly spiritual Qigong subsystem that develops psychic intuition); C. Tao Tan Pai 5 Animal Kung Fu forms—Monkey, Crane, Snake, Dragon, and Tiger (For intermediate and advanced students: This workshop is in celebration of the 1,229th birthday of the Taoist Immortal (saint) Lu Tung Pin, the founder and patron saint of the Tao Tan Pai Kung Fu, aka the Golden Elixir School, and the author of "The Secret of the Golden Flower", a seminal Tang Dynasty text on Taoist Alchemic Yoga (neidan). Tao Tan Pai is a martial, yogic, healing, and spiritual tradition that has been impeccably preserved across 24 generations and gave rise to the Quan Zhen ("Complete Realization" or "Totally True") sect, one of the two most important movements in the history of Taoism and Chinese culture. The Tao Tan Pai 31 Basic Meditations (“TTP-31”) is an authentic and intact ancient Taoist system of moving meditation and breath control—invented in the Tang Dynasty by Taoist Immortal (saint) Lu Tung Pin—that imparts good health, strong vitality and personal empowerment—by coordinating eyes, mind, movement, and breath according to an ancient alchemic formula that opens the heart, clears and focuses the mind and profoundly strengthens the body. Regular practice of the TTP-31 series imparts a wide range of verifiable health benefits: improved circulation, respiratory power, metabolism, posture, bone strength, immunity, flexibility, agility, coordination, sound-regular sleep, higher energy levels, and profoundly increased resilience to stress and trauma. Because the TTP-31 Basic Meditation Series empowers Tao Tan Pai Kung Fu and the TTP Healing Arts (acupressure, energy healing, and herbology) to supernormal levels of efficacy, it is the perfect energizing warmup and supplement for any sports or athletic activity, in addition to martial arts. This video shows what 8 of the TTP-31 Basic Meditations look like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKGt3C4cQfk&list=PLLnoZ9AAmn666z33oSXe9b7ZGWlf1PP35 <•> In addition to the TTP-31 Series and Tao Tan Pai 5 Animal Kung fu forms, during the last 4 sessions of the workshop (on Saturday and Sunday), I will also teach the Ten "Shen" Exercises, which is the next level of Tao Tan Pai Nei Gong that follows the TTP-31. The "Shen" Exercises, which I have never taught before in a workshop setting (only privately over the past 40 years) is a system of 6 standing postures and 4 sedate seated meditations that specifically cultivates one's "Shen" Energy (Qi). which my favorite TTP senior classmate called, "the pure speculative aspect of action." Building upon the vibrant health, integrated strength, and structural sensitivity conditioned by the TTP-31 Basic Meditations, the "Shen" Exercise System further integrates mind and body through calm and stillness and develops deeper jhanic absorption that simutaneously develops: (A) the physiological capacity to literally see all forms of energy that are not seen in the consensus reality (e.g., any person's past incarnations) and (B) psychic intuition, the ability to know in granular detail spatially distant events hitherto unknown in the past, in the present, and in the future. • The Tao Tan Basic 31 Meditations Series utilizes an esoteric yogic methodology that is completely different from that used in Flying Phoenix Qigong. The Tao Tan Pai tradition and Flying Phoenix Qigong's encompassing Ehrmei Mtn. White Tiger tradition have very different origins, are historically unrelated and utilize different cosmologies. They are different as night and day in terms of all three essential factors that determine any Qigong system: (1) "Xing" (Shape-form-posture(s) of the body), (2) "Yi" (mental focus and visualization); (3) "Chi" or "Qi" -- esoteric breathing method. Yet the TTP-31 serves as a superb foundational catalyst that deepens, enhances and prolongs all of the verifiable healing effects of the Flying Phoenix Qigong. Because I am the sole living preserver of Ehrmei Mountain Flying Phoenix Qigong and I also happened to have learned the entire Tao Tan Pai Kung Fu and Neigong system for the 15 years prior to meeting Grandmaster Doo Wai in 1991, there is no other person on earth who can teach you how to practice the Tai Tan Pai Qigong arts to further activate the healing and restorative effects of Flying Phoenix Qigong.

Postscript #2: Reviews by two long-term FP Qigong Practitioners of the Tao Tan Pai 31 Meditations System's impact and influence their Flying Phoenix experience: 2 Reviews of “Qigong For Health For First Responders” class by Master Terence Dunn on March 29, 2020 (one hour of TTP Basic 31 Meditations + one hour of Flying Phoenix Qigong) I felt a surge of tangible sensations coursing through my entire body, streams of subtle vibrations and tingling with a particular focus in the chest and head areas. Unlike the typical calming, relaxing, and sometimes sedative effects that I usually experience from Flying Phoenix Qigong practice, this pattern of energy was more invigorating, enlivening, and longer-lasting. I was alert and full of energy with an underlying sense of ease and contentment. Its effects were still mildly present three hours after the practice session ended, and most surprisingly, after a heavy meal, something I haven&#39;t quite experienced before even having attended a dozen intensive workshops. Although we only practiced basic exercises from each system, my experience mimicked ones I’ve had practicing advanced meditations of Tao Tan Pai Qigong and Flying Phoenix Qigong separately in longer sessions. I can only attribute these effects to the thoughtful, specific, and unique combination of TTP and FP that was offered by Master Terry Dunn. --Spencer Lawrence, Jersey City, NJ I’ve studied with Sifu Terry Dunn for 5 1/2 years at Eastover and any place else I could get the chance. The major focus of that study had been Flying Phoenix Qigong and related Bak Fu Pai arts. I’ve taken a couple of workshops in Tao Tan Pai but never gave it any thought, devotion or practice. Recently I’ve partaken in Sifu Dunn’s Sunday class “Tao Tan Pai + Flying Phoenix Qigong for Peak Immunity...” It consists of one hour of Tao Tan Pai followed another hour of Flying Phoenix. For the last 12 weeks I’ve faithfully practiced TTP daily with profound results. My lung capacity has greatly increased; my inhalation and exhalation are longer and deeper now (something useful In this time of pandemic). I’ve noticed, too, that my heart rate has slowed down by 5 beats per minute. As to the synergistic relationship of these two seemingly unrelated disciplines, I’ll mention a few. Tao Tan Pai is the perfect warmup for Flying Phoenix Qigong. It loosens both the body and mind. It deepens the relaxation response putting one in an altered state much sooner. This state of relaxation is so deep that by the end of Sunday’s class I can barely keep my eyes open. This is especially true of the Monk Serves Wine series of exercises. My personal practice will forevermore start with TTP and end with Flying Phoenix. --Tony Arcuri, Queens, NY Postscript #3: Observations by Dr. Emil Mondoa of the differences between Flying Phoenix Qigong and Tao Tan Pai 31 Meditations Qigong. June 22, 2022 To Whom It May Concern Terence Dunn is an Ivy League-educated American who has dedicated his life to preserving and teaching ancient Chinese internal martial arts and yogas. Forsaking the corporate path, he has become something of a monk without a monastery. He has a special gift to bestow the public. I on the other hand am no monk and am a practicing physician who met Terry about 30 years ago before the internet age. At that time, I had completed a busy residency and was pursuing an MBA at the University of Pennsylvania while working full time and caring for a premature baby, our first daughter. Needless to say, it was a challenging period and I was under enormous stress. I was looking for something to manage my stress which was not a benzodiazepine or alcohol. That is when a detailed flyer came in the mail (quaint now) about something called “Flying Phoenix Heavenly Chi Meditations.” After a little thought, I ordered the complete set of 3 VHS tapes from Mr Dunn and was off to an interesting adventure. I figured doing a few exercises could not be worse than going on anti-anxiety pills. His teaching method was simple, direct and clear and after learning some basic very slow movements, stationary postures and breath sequences it was possible to follow along with eyes closed. It worked! From the very first day, I experienced a relaxed calm for which I had no other explanation. For about 18 months after that, I practiced at least 15 minutes every single day and over time, that relaxed calm evolved into a pleasant buttery, honey-warm glow that pervaded my entire body and mind and lasted all day. As a trained physician, I considered explanations. It had to be endorphins, I thought. After all, it seemed to get rid of pain. Taoist and Buddhist practitioners in China must have encountered a practice that floods the body with endorphins and elevates the sense of well-being. The fact is, I have no proven western scientific explanation and traditional chi theory is a parallel world view. It is 30 years later, and I still practice. Not as consistently as before, but I practice. I have introduced the practice to dozens of friends and relatives but no one wants to invest 20-30 minutes a day to slow movement and breathing. They give up without even trying. Perhaps a culturally familiar explanation would help. In traditional Chinese medicine, these kinds of practices are considered medicinal. In my personal experience, they are medicinal but not in terms that current science understands or to which western culture is comfortable. Until that translation is made, many people would continue to miss out on what in my opinion is the greatest gift from ancient China. In addition to Flying Phoenix, Master Terence introduced me more recently to Tao Tan Pai, a totally different system of chi kung (qigong). If Flying Phoenix embraces your being in a sweet warm, healing maternal embrace (without somnolence), the feeling after Tao Tan Pai is an enhancement in executive function, focus and athletic ability. I came across literature that suggests that if athletes actively visualize their forms, it improves their performance over and above physical training alone. Tao Tan Pai seems to be operating on that principle at an advanced level and provides a reward that is qualitatively different but no less astounding from Flying Phoenix. Again, it would help if these subjective experiences could be further studied and made accessible. Right now it is available but not accessible mostly for cultural reasons. Sincerely yours, Emil I Mondoa, M.D., M.B.A. [email protected]

Hi Pak_Satrio, Great that you were able to practice the FP Long Form in the Jordanian desert. It looks beautiful and inspiring. Great that you've learned the sequence of postures for the entire Long Form--even though you have numerous serious errors in the postures and in the transitions between them. But memorizing the entire form that best you can is a very big first step. BTW, until you get the FP Long Form fully corrected and refined, do NOT discontinue your practice of all the preceding 7 standing FP Meditations on volumes 1 and 3. Here are my comments to correct and improve your form. 1. First of all: start with a slight wider horse stance (ma bu): feet two shoulders' widths apart. 2. At 24 secs., your right jab over the left bridge is extending too far--dont' straight the arm that much. 3. At 28 secs, after the Rt. Willow leaf palm on centerline, when you shift left and rotate clockwise and curve the left arm: you're lifting the arm too high and also straightening it. Wrong. Move your left hand from the tan tien and keep the hand at waist level as you shift left and rotate clockwise. 4. then when you turn waist right and circle the left arm clockwise, the arm is supposed to be curved. But you are nearly straightening the left arm AND turning too far to the right. The back of your left hand faces the right normal (wrong); just rotate right until back of left hand faces the front right corner (45º). 5. At 38 secs, as you lower left palm towards the right hand at the tan tian: keep for fingers together and cup the left palm very slightly. And float the hand and forearm down softly--don't "push" the palm down. 6. Your movements from 1:07 to 1:24 require too, too much correction and refinement to put into words here. We'll cover the necessary corrections in your next private lesson...or if you can take next 3-day (14-hour) Flying Phoenix Qigong Workshop on Zoom. 7. Your movement starting at 2:26 to 2:33 is WAY OFF mark. Not in the form at all. You swing your chest to left knee, across to right knee and then immediately upright into the PRESS, You added an entirely new move with arms fully extended ( 2:30 to 2:31) that's not in the classical Meditation!. It is a very creative and interesting addition though! 8. When you do your two "Presses" (left palm on right wrist) from 2:32 to 2;40, you are leaning forward too much on each one. Keep you back vertical the entire time. 9. From 2:47 to 3:23: On your 5 outward blocks with the forearms (thumbside edge leading), these are the errors: A. Your elbows are too high and your forearms are angled forward too "flat" away from the body. B. Your hands are not high enough. Fingertips should be slightly above eye-level and can be up to the level of your hairline. (Watch any of my 3 Youtube videos of the FP Long Form as reference,) C. How you switch from one blocking forearm to the other (after traversing it 180º) is WAY OFF--and too long to explain here in writing. The major corrections needed here will require private lesson time. • Pak_Satrio: That's all I time and energy I can provide for your corrections on this site. All the corrections above can be made more easily during a Zoom session. Good work, nonetheless, on memorizing the FP Long Form choreography. Memorizing the Form is, of course, the essential first step. As Master John Fey said to me after I demonstrated the 6 Harmonies/8 Methods (Liu He Ba Fa) form in Pasadena, CA before a large audience during World Tai Chi Qigong Day in 1985 (I had just learned the form from Dr. York Why Loo): "Well, at least you know a complete Form." LOL. But now lets' tackle the corrections whenever you're able. Note to all FPCK subscribers--as Bill Maher puts it: NEW RULE: Feel free to post links to your FP Long Form performances on this thread---BUT NOT BEFORE you post a video of your demonstration of "Moonbeam Splashes On Water" ( the 2nd moving meditation on Volume 3). One must become proficient in "Moonbeam" through lots of practice and refinement before starting practice of the Vol.4 Long Form. I know for a fact that not enough FP practitioners are mastering "Moonbeam" before starrting the FP Long Form --because there aren't any questions being posted here about the practice of that meditation. SO EVERYONE, GET BUSY ON MOONBEAM! Sifu Terry https://www.taichimania.com/chikung_catalog.html terencedunn.substack.com

Hello Julian, I'm truly sorry that it's taken 11 years and 15 days to finally see your post for the first time and now answer your question about others being able to see your light. I had missed and completely overlooked your posting that in the first week of April 2014 because that was precisely the time when I received the devastating news that the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear my appeal of lower California appeals courts and CA Supreme court decisions refusing to hear my Writ of Certiorari seeking a retrial of my lawsuit in California against Dreamworks Animation for stealing my story, concept and characters for MY original kung Fu panda concept, characters (13 main characters) , and pilot story called "The Adventures of Zen-Bear, the Kung Fu Panda" that I had begun in 1991 and worked on for 9 years before pitching my project to the No,2 executive at Dreamworks Animation, a senior V.P. who reported directly to the "K" in Dreamworks SKG, inc.. All the public information in the court record of the first trial--including all of my intellectual property work product and other registered evidence and testimony about proving the primacy of my creation of my characters, original concept of a kung fu-fighting panda bear, and elaborated story involving 12 other animal characters for children's books, for mulitple seasons of an animated TV series, and my movie idea is mounted on this website that I created in 2016: http://www.kungfupandalawsuit.com/Timeline_Hotspots_New.html I lost a veritable fortune starting in June 2010 to file this lawsuit (seeking minimum damages of $20 million for breach-of-implied-contract) and bring it to trial in July-Aug. of 2011, only to lose at trial by a hair due to public corruption and being out-lawyered and by DWA's dirty tricks law firm, appealing to the CA Court of Appeals in 2013, tghe CA State Supreme Court the same year, and then the US Supreme Court in 2014--all to of no avail. Thus I was buried in four years of legal bills, 4 full years of having all my creative business momentum brought to a standstill (because no one creative can be productive while in a lawsuit ag, a Hollywood film studio), and suffering from cumulative fallout from losing the first trial in August 2011, and then have 3 appeals all the way to the SCOTUS to be heard. That said, I'm sorry I couldn't answer your question when in posted it 11 years ago and half a month ago. But here now is the answer to your question, "And, do I understand this correctly, that at some point in time others (non-practitioners) could also see my light?": • Yes, at some point in time, non-practitioners will be able to see the cumulative Flying Phoenix Healing Qi that you have steadily cultivated through your practice, which you call "your light"--even though most or all of them are not practitioners of Qigong or Yoga. The very first kind and most common recognition by others (non-practitioners or "everyday people") of your FP yogic cultivation is their "seeing" your very "clean" aura. It often happens when you enter a public place like a restaurant or coffee shop, and almost every head in the room turns to look at you. It's similar to the instinctive and instant turning ones head and upper body to look at a person that you have just sensed as having entered the room--especially if your back is facing the entrance. All my FP Qigong students within their first six months of weekly classes (and regular daily practice) have sooner or later reported this head-turning phenomenon whenver they went to a public eatery right after class. This phenomenon of everyday people seeing "your light" is a very common and regular occurrence. But the more background and experience any person has in any style of authentic Yoga, meditation, or quiescence, the greater potential he or she has of instantly seeing your FP-charged aura---as a natural side-effect of their practice(s). And you can be sure that whenever you began to see the distinctive, signature "blue light" that accompanies concentrated and long-ter FP Qigong practice, more everyday people and certainly more yoga-meditation-qigong practitioners will be seeing your pristine blue-radiating aura. I hope you've already discovered most of these features about Flying Phoenix Qigong that I've described. Please let me know how your practice has progressed over the years and about the effect or impact that the FP Qigong has had on your life. Best, Sifu Terry https://www.taichimania.com/chikung_catalog.html terencedunn.substack.com
