  1. SM - Importance of Tree gong

    Trees are great beings, especially by the way of this lineage they are considered a beings of lights as equals and friends with wisdom and energybodies of greatness. Their respect is much greater than a human can give in our days. Without words one feels such great respect from trees for those in these lineage and acknowledge by the trees and the welcome they give is the feeling of feeling home as our ancients had when they live together with them before they start to fear us as the animals do. Also one do not feel alone when one realize it. I believe that we live less livespan from Qi perspective because we lost touch with the trees which get hundreds and thousand of years. One can go and take the Qi but in this lineage the Qi is received. Qi that is taken may be toxic. The tree are fond in protecting their quality Qi. They can be a source to recover Prenatal Qi and so help in cultivation and prolong life which is a gift. Actually there is one tree that is an unconditional friend to humans but its another school which not want this reveal puplic but they are old enough to remember the friendship. As well in this school they help the cultivation of this lineage as the light qi in this school is much like those of the trees and sure the tree have qualities the ancient observe and categorize into the five phases.
  2. Qigong systems

    This a question of competition of systems, lineage, schools and teachers. It is to remember this schools are serving in preservation and enhancing their lineage teachings for further generation and become good example for their generation. Even if a system is good but the affinity is less great then one will have difficulties to follow the shedule. There are things one like and things on not like, things one do and things one not do. A teaching might be good but one do not believe it. Actually one has to see the in times where passion is decreasing which one had because of all the stories and expirience of others- including ones own : "Is it a lineages teaching one do regulary and daily without wanting something from this teaching in return?" It is a relationship to an art. The love to an art is the same expression one has to someone one love unconditional. One takes it is as it is -without trying to change it as one want but encourage to let it changes and become what it is. One enjoy its presence and not its effect and profit it can give. Art is something one admire and preserve as "inspiration" which lights the spark inside which enrich life. Dilligence, regularity, calmness and sometimes... the art call you to do with you a time where it embrace you and make you know more about itself which lead to know more about yourself.
  3. Gift of the Tao II Neigong Movements

    Actually one gets sober into practise. If you have expectation then it gets weaker. Everything can happen and everything is allowed. Then one move in a Sea of Qi. Stay Neutral in practise.
  4. Gift of the Tao II Neigong Movements

    Include the liver. It seem to me this energy center mostly contract and get tensed. Also I think Laogong should be back into program as some people not do wai qi liao fa when they not get starting with the Medical Qigong Projection on proffesional basis. As practioner of this lineage I feel the change of quality of things I touched, or when I stand near to it so a development of hands is very useful.
  5. Gift of the Tao II Neigong Movements

    Very interesting........
  6. Gift of the Tao II Neigong Movements

    Because its Energy Center and not Five Changing Phase. I am just curious why not liver else it would match Gregor A. Gregorious theory about Chakra.
  7. Actually when one exercise complex things is to realize the simplicity in complex and the complex in simplicity. As I exercise still I see more and more the essence the form teach, the formless part which can be inherited to other forms without need to pay attention as it becomes ones second nature and expressed in daily life. Understanding an essence is extremly valuable in my eyes because when put it in seemingly boring and useless, low forms may openening one to new understanding and as I feel feeling a bit amazed everytime I come to conclusion that I have underestimated a simple exercise and how less attentive and awareness one has to see this ..... simple truth. - mostly it is one little difference that cause a big difference- Most times an exercise is like a treasure box with different keyholes. Because of one rarely change ones view one not see only those from ones perspective. Expirienced practitioner will see more and more by his own exercise how important the basic are and how complex the simple things become by understanding. The student only knows it as information even if it is technique and not by realisation. This makes the difference between someone who has understood and someone who just have and can do. The one who understands will may take lots of time to explain one simple movement because of his refined attention which show him subtle and different permutation as well variation and correction, testing and refinement while showing the orthodox method as well the unorthodox way to perfom it. As well preserving the original teaching as well putting.... one line of comment below it as it was done by the kings for I Ching in their wisdom to preserve the orignal teachings but still expressing their understanding and findings of their own wisdom. Mastery comes by being able to discover the truth oneself without need of someone to tell. This how the refinements came in some generation while others where just to preserve the formal status quo of a lineage who only receive the formal knowledge from the particular generation. A dedicated and intelligent student is comfortable to teach as it was said that a good person can be easily taught to being good but a bad person to turn to good is quite an accomplishment which requires work.
  8. Basics and foundation are roots for the art. Even walking in a circle is full of traps.
  9. Qi Gong lecture

    This man is interesting for people who are in Ving Tsun type or Yong Chuan Wushu. The Qigong he based on is on Yin and Yang states and the different attention one keep when practising Qigong. People with different states have to practise differently the same thing to not suffere more imbalance. He said to not put the intention on lower Dantien if one has Yin Defiancy but is useful on Yang Defiancy and instead to put on Kidney 1 point. For details listen yourself. He is quite interesting.
  10. If ataraxia is the goal.... One learn things one not can. This is why there are people who, these are those who teach. Between the now and the goal is the way.
  11. Riding a lively dead horse to the moonshine forest of wandering skeletons.
  12. Diploma said that he has passed the standard testing procedure and has learned. It not says how far the skill and abillities is. It says that to the time he reach the Diploma he has learned that amount to enter the door. If he get better or worse is by seeing what he is now. He may be good in the past but how is he now, he have been worse in the past what is he now? .
  13. To ask their students to invite their teachers on board to read some stuff to make an impression before they post.
  14. Does Dan Tien translate as 'belly'?

    Actually the chinese language like to use "puns" and a have a humourous way to use word. The profane people because of watching many Wuxia movies are expected to call the belly the Lower Dantien but for cultivators it is depending on their lineage schools defintion.
  15. Nei Gong Forum?

    First it is in ancient chinese and second it is only for those beyond level 4 and I am sure none of them who would reach level 4 would ever have time to translate it or let it because of the school politics to let someone else translate and if they do translate they have to do it on their own and until it is done one may need a twohundred years as ancient chinese is though to read and the modern chinese has problems to read it. It is technical, political not possible to get hands on and even then one has a group of expert for translation one need a group of Neikung prationers on level 4 who are willingly give you the right meaning as one word can have up to 10 different meanings and if it is in poetry one can without archiving the correct practise level decipher anything. So even if one part is correct one would no receive the orthodox teaching but an unorthodox manuscipt. JinYong a famous Wuxia Author who wrote the Condor Shooting Trilogy making Ouyang Feng learning an unorthodox method of the Nine Yin Manuals which is a supreme magic stance. He get very powerful but his internal damage are as well. And he repeatly want to say it in Dragon Saber and Heaven sword by having the Yellow Maiden defeating with the orthodox method an unorthodox version of the nine yin claws. The message is to stick to the orthodox even if one know the unorthodox in addition. I recommend to watch JinYong and GuLong for pointers for a practitioner so they are aware but one has to watch it in a manner to learn something for ones practise, ethical, technical and logical. A manual can not telly one from the pitfalls. Missing one point may lead to having to exercise more than necessary or do something harmful. Energetic Damage become obvious after around 10 years as I have been told and a teacher may minimize or even make it worse(if he is only a instructor who is as good to repeat and parrot what he learned without gaining own expirience)
  16. It was answered as follow: "Those who know dont speak, those who dont know speak." Actually I think Socrates told the guy to "Shut up" as truth, kindness and necessary is relative and if one consider the duality then it depends on the one who define what is true, kind and necessary which may not match what is true, kind and necessary. It becomes argue as concepts from a non dual world are may come into conflict with duality and duality is then appearing if a slight different change to actually differ to things so that one can relate them day and night and in the same subtle change the day with another day. Actually they guy could have ask Socrate if the question was true, kind and necessary.....to be so smart a s s instead of telling him nicely to stop talking. Actually those who argue are those who choose fight over flight. Flight would make the people disappear from the place of the conflict while those who fight are stay in the place of conflict. Argue is like revenge as I think as if one do something on will get "repaid for that" kindness begets kindness but sometimes.... on wants just be les trolls.... Actually if one has compassion then one would expect : "Forgive them as they not know what they say" As things are so difficult that "all I know that I know nothing".... so I decide at the moment as far as I know as far I assume realness in reality.
  17. Bless your books.

  18. Thoughts on Ukraine / Russia Debacle?!

    Strategy and tactics with using information and misinformation. In the rabbit hole there is a labyrinth. The world has to decide pro, contra, ignore or confusion. If hidden Agenda are that easy to read as normaly it is seizure of tactial objects, territory advantage,resources or as ....test for a bigger Agenda. The information the puplic masses have decide who they join in conflict. And our thoughts on facebook and elsewhere targets us as and filter and give enough information as well on forums to see where we stand to make them act first without need to take time to find out as some people in east germany told me about monitoring, even from and by friends. As well I see this act show where each country like to stand in this conflict and where the polarisation lies. As if they are on your side you will have their willing support even if you have trick them to do so. Also I do expect in this age some very dangerous advisors who only let you see some steps to guide you around and let you see what you want to see. I hope that the countermeasuring equal forces can keep the balance so the conflict do not escalate. Where do we stand in this conflict as civilians and how to do the best in this conflict beside information filtering and keeping calm and attentive?
  19. Dream and Qi

    Well well, you "Mark" and "Rara" should consider joining a Stillnessmovement Qigong Workshop. As the efforts you do and have without tranmission have a good natural basis and would take effort to the dantien awareness, which indeed has an effect, but the difference is with a transmission is first to have it easier to reach Dream Qigong and second to go to higher vibration planes while in sleep mode and third the amount of effort put into staying in the lower Dantien will give you more harvest. This makes me think and feel that you would do well with receiving the transmission from the Jing Dong Gong Lineage.
  20. Should Thunder_Gooch have been banned?

    -__- , people love Stimpy from the Ren and Stimpy Show as he is good natured. and this overweights his lacking. But you should take care of name choices as the subconciousness do not understand sarcasm. Greek ἰδιώτης, idiōtēs ("person lacking professional skill", "a private citizen", "individual"). Ones own real name can if it is rejected by the body cause problems in the energy system and affect daily life and can tense the physical body. A name works in its vibration, its meaning and its association and by how often one use it.
  21. Should Thunder_Gooch have been banned?

    Sigh I told him that the name he choose is disasterous from chinese point. Names are important and Nicknames also.
