  1. Zhan Zhuang is Not for Beginners

    Regarding to 后天之氣, the acquired Qi, the Qi here is a substance other than people thought it was an energy. It is acquired from outside the body, such as the food we eat and the air that we breathe. Mainly, it is the oxygen that we needed for the decomposition of the glucose to produce the ATP energy. The glucose is from the foods we eat. The glucose was broken down from the food and stored in the liver as glycogen. To learn more about ATP is best to study Cell Respiration.

    This would be involved with modern science by looking into cell respiration inside the body cell(Google it). However, most people do not like to look into that. They rather stay with the simple traditional concept macroscopically.

    In regard to you understanding, you got the right idea. However, just to be clear, horse stance is the main part of Standing Meditation. With breathing, your body is generating its inner energy. The idea of "its main goal is to guide acquired qi to clear and activate the body’s entire energy network" is an traditional concept that was what most people were told. In other words, your energy was not acquired, rather, it was generated by your own body. Most people only have the macroscopic view of it. If we're looking at it microscopically, then, it would be a different story.

    Horse Stance(马步)is the name that was given to a stance. Zhan Zhuang(站桩)is the name that was given to a method of being standing at a horse stance.
  5. Hello!

    Yes, that's how it is. 歡迎妳來到这一个历史悠久的社区!
  6. Alternative to chia?

    If you are practicing Qigong for several decades. your libido should be increased tremendously already by now. It comes with the package, whether you like it or not, only if you did it right. It doesn't matter what Qigong you practice, you will have the same effect on your body. Please note that I didn't say what type of Qigong, it is they are the same; but only differ in name. You just stay away from that unwelcome practice! Just stay away and don't bother with it to waste your time.
  7. Nei Gong systems

    Isn't textual support is somebody else's words without textual support to begin with?

    Welcome to TDB! If you are practicing Qigong for several decades. your libido should be increased tremendously already by now. It comes with the package, whether you like it or not, only if you did it right. PS It doesn't matter what Qigong you practice, you will have the same effect on your body. Please note that I didn't say what type of Qigong, it is they are the same; but only differ in name. You just stay away from that unwelcome practice! Just stay away and don't bother with it to waste your time.
  9. Well, I would say that feeling is a sensation in the the nervous system.
  10. What you are saying that is your chest is stronger than your abdomen! How did you come to that conclusion?
  11. I don't know what are you really asking. If you practice Qigong, the chi(氣) goes into your lung, then, the heart pumps the blood into the lung to collect the oxygen. The first organ that uses the oxygen is the lung, then, the heart is the second organ to use it. Both organs uses the oxygen to convert energy for muscle contraction. However, in order to acquire the ultimate goal of Qigong is to sink chi into the lower dantian(LDT), 氣沉丹田. Under this condition, the more oxygen that the lung can give to the heart, the heart will be more healthier. Regardless of what Qigong style that you practice, your body will have the same effect. In your terms, chi will flow all over inside your body. Whatever you would like to define what chi is.
  12. The ultimate unpopular opinions

    What was your point? What do you want to say? "Zazen gets up and walks around?" I don't get it. Do you actually know what Zazen is all about? I understand that Zazen is a sitting position in three lotus styles. Zazen is not a thing that walks around. However, after the practice and getting up from the lotus position, it is hard to walk for awhile until the legs are returned to the normal walking condition.
