Doing CLOSING after practicing qigong and/or meditation depends on what you have OPENED? It would be not necessary for many of us. Correct me if I am wrong .

Hi all; I bring back this topic. I would like to know if any of our Bums went to Wudang Shan with this generous offer of Teacher Hu and Dao Zhen? It was back in 2008. This year 2010, Teacher Hu again offers 2 workshops in Wudang Shan. If yes then could you please share your experience and possibly the teaching of Teacher Hu? If no then should we ask Teacher Hu to sponsor of our Bum again this year? In kind regards.

Here is a 1st Ed. of the book: http://rapidshare.com/files/245052007/Yang.Jwing.Ming-Chi.Kung-Health.And.Martial.Arts-Assassin.rar If you like it, you can order it.

Here is my two cents: As Kate and Sykk mentioned: traditionally we need to fully build up Qi in the Dantien. Once Dantien is full, it will first travel in the Microcosmic Orbit not to the legs because of the lotus sitting. That is why Microcosmic Orbit is likely to obtain first. Since you follow some of Dr. Yang instructions, you may want to read his book titled "Qigong for Health and Martial Arts" for more details. I hope it helps. Best.

Hi there, I think the exercise #6 of this routine is what you are looking for: http://www.healthline.com/blogs/exercise_fitness/2006/12/getting-stronger-without-gym.html The thing I admire Dr. Bookspan the most is her approach is very fun and you can apply it every moment of your life. I hope that helps. Best.

I would like second this. I just want to thank Eric for his book titled "Taoist Yoga and Sexual Energy". Hope you are well.

Very touching. Thank you!

Good topic! I like the posted article. The article is short and I would like to read more. Could anyone advise where I can read more about the stages of awakening?

If so, I would like you to read this: http://www.taoiststudy.com/content/mind-fasting-meditation-chuang-tzu Also, check for posts by Dao Zhen on this forum.

Does any know how much time daily a serious student of Master Wang spend on doing below practices? Thank you!

Thank you for sharing this. I have watched some of the vids before. Very sad indeed. More and more people will know about these, but the question is how can we do to make a better World? or you think we are completely doomed?

That is good point. But in order to do that we need to unlearn almost everything we have acquired, and that is not an easy and quick task. The founder of the Dragon Gate sect said that: Freedom is when you have no thought, Immortal Enlightenment is when you have nothing in your mind. I was wondering: what is that in our mind?

Old Man Contradiction: I have some articles related to your training. If possible, can you PM your email, I am happy to give it. Cheers,

sykkelpump, thank you.

I hope you are wrong here. What about supernatural power, immortality, heaven/hell, etc. you name it? I understand it is all side effects but it is something worth to mention, no? There are a number of enlightenment levels. What you speak of, may be a very low level of enlightenment? Again from Master Nan book, we (not only the body) all will be destroyed by fire, flood, and wind disasters unless we can enter the fourth Samadhi. Thank you.

Hi Spectrum, I really like to understand this concept. I understand that you have many good points to offer. Could you please take your time (if needed) to make those important points a little bit clearer? Many regards, Your Tao Buddy

Creation, Thank you for bring this back. I too have respects for teacher Hu for: (a) having translated some valuable Tao materials in to English, ( having Dao Zhen as one of his students (Dao Zhen has studied with many other teachers). Do you know if he is more of Tao scholar or a Tao practitioner?

You answered my question. Thank you very much for this thread. I hope/wish many experienced guys share their thoughts and provide advices so that younger guys can learn and have a little bit of more time to plan their life. This is to reinforce your thought on TV and reading books: "I find television very educational. Every time someone switches it on I go into another room and read a good book. - Marx, Groucho" I will take many of your advices with me.

I was about to say the same. To me, Embryonic Breathing is not there to master, it is more like a result. We confuse about the cause and the effect.
