Oh my! Those are gorgeous! Much prettier than the p. cubensis I've been growing all these years. Hehehhe. I take Reishi in pill form but after seeing those pics I'm seriously considering growing my own now!

Who is this Ya Mu and why does googling his name send me to Dragonball websites lol

Thanks so much for all the invaluable information, guys. I just sent her a message telling her that I have decided to cut all the etheric cords tying us together, because it is the best thing to do for both of us. She is very well versed in the subject matter so I trust she won't have any problems understanding what I'm talking about. Our relationship was a very long and difficult one, albeit, the most important relationship we have ever had in our lives, but it had to come to an end. My practice consists solely of SFQG.

Can you please tell me more on how to cut these cords?

I find it a shame that many of my friends are hardcore atheists and are hell-bent on disproving anything that has to do with religion. The abrahamic religions, especially Christianity has a lot to do with this, as their method of indoctrinating and inducing fear and order creates the impression that "God" is a big bearded guy up in the sky judging your every action. And as such, most equate spirituality with religion very directly, and never take the time to ponder the deeper metaphysical questions because "the vast mystery of the universe is all there is", and that very well could be. So my question to you fellow bums is, what are some questions you would like to ask atheists to get them reflecting on their spiritual life? I don't mean starting a debate about whether God exists, but maybe questioning the "fact" that the universe is a blind, unintelligent evolutionary system and we are the byproduct of its randomness... which is a real put down, since it creates the impression that we are just bones in a bag of skin and stripped of our divinity. Anyway... I'm interested in what you bums have to say.

Heya fellow bums I have been doing the small universe meditation consistently for the past few months now (1-2 hours a day) and I am encountering a recurring problem that I don't know how to solve. The problem is basically that I think I have a problem with my kidneys. Once I direct the energy there Upwards from my lower back it gets "sucked in" into my left kidney and starts uncomfortably wobbling around in that area. Once I try to move the energy higher up to the next point (behind the neck), the stubborn energy barely makes it up there and even if it does briefly, most of it literally gets sucked back down into my left kidney area, as if it were some kind of vortex. I sometimes feel it pulsing on its own when Im just lying down not doing much. Anyway, the problem resolved itseld on its own for about a full month ans now its back in full force again and its getting me discouraged. I have already done 4 phone healing sessions with Master Lin and it unfortunately not helped remedy the problem. One of their master healers suggested I simply move my point of focus in the problem areas instead of "moving" the energy through, but the energy vortex is simply too strong; it sucks in any energy I develop throughy awareness/focus anywhere on my back. Its getting really annoying because the difference in terms of results when this stopped happening was immense. Now its like the circuit gets short circuited every time and I have to power it up andw at the bottom of the head region. Ive tried everything from intense massage to accupuncture to TCM to magnet/laser therapy to no avail. My guess is my kidneys are so weak and energy-deprived that they suck in any energy they can get their hands on.... Any thoughts or words of advice?

Cool, very interesting. I don't think I'll ever have the "balls" to attempt astral projection. I figure my cultivation will naturally progress into the psychic realm when it is ready on its own. I don't want to explore an unfamiliar terrain without some sort of map and compass, if you know what I mean.

Are there any actual benefits in being able to do astral projections or is just for kicks ?

Very interesting... thanks! What about you? What size do you use? I usually go between a golf-ball and a grapefruit in terms of size. I also imagine them in three dimensions, and focus my awareness accordingly. (As in, I don't just focus on the skin in the area) I've never seen an accurate description on this topic anywhere.. I'd love to get some more input.

I have a quick related question to this: What is the best size for the points of focus? My "issue" is triggered much more easily the smaller and more concentrated the point of focus is, and can usually be somewhat bypassed if I expand it (sort of like adjusting the radius/intensity on a flashlight).

I can usually predict it once I'm at the perineum point, since it will sometimes start slightly twitching once the back channel gets activated.

It's kind of hard to explain... Picture this: A doctor just separated the skin from the rest of the tissue in my kidney area, leaving the two separated. He then stitches my skin back, but leaves out certain areas which remain detached. These areas form a couple of different paths from my spinal column, leading into a couple of big "bubbles" in the left kidney area. When I raise my energy up my spine, when the energy gets close to those "bubbles", it quickly gets sucked into one via one of the "paths" and gets stuck there. It literally feels like said bubble just got filled with liquid energy, and it stays stuck there, pushing in each direction but unable to get out. I continue raising energy up my spine by creating new energy with my awareness in the next area (behind the neck)... as soon as the energy is formed and centered and ready to move to the next spot (the back of the head), part of that new energy quickly rushes down into the very same bubble in the left kidney area like a lightning bolt, rolling underneath my skin like a ball bearing, reaching the bubble and joining it. The feeling of the bubble being filled with liquid energy remains for about 30 seconds or so, with or without my awareness placed on it, and then it dissipates... occasionally the feeling spontaneously and momentarily pops back when I'm working on my front channel. On that note, the same feeling comes back at times during rest, lasting for a few seconds to a few minutes, and occasionally spasms (twitches) a little bit. I have one ONE occasion managed to release the energy trapped in the bubble and it rushed to the next spot I was working on (back of neck). It felt like a HUGE ball of liquid energy slowly plowing its way underneath my skin to reach the energy center in the back of my neck. I never felt such an intense energetic sensation in my whole life, especially in that area! I then moved this new energy to the next spots (back of head, top of head, third eye and so on) and they were all throbbing and pulsating with more energy then they had ever had before... after a few more loops, the energy slowly dissipated back to the bubble and refused to come out again. After that particular session, I felt incredibly invigorated.. my mind was extremely sharp and my mood was fantastic... I felt that way for two straight days and then it slowly faded away. So, even during the time this problem does not occur, I have still never felt such intense energy pass through the top part of my spine to make its way through the rest of the loop, thus, I was never able to fully recreate what happened leading me to believe that even if the bubble thing stops occuring for a few weeks, the energy isn't being raised to its maximum potential. Sorry for the long read! That'S the best description I could give hehe. Any advice would be much appreciated! I already take numerous natural supplements for kidney health and regeneration.

Oh my... try as I might, I was unable to understand most of what you said. I'm not very apt with this kind of terminology. I googled "Small Circulation" and from what I understand it's just another label for the "MCO". Is this right? I do have the "Embryonic Breathing" book but I have only read the first few pages so far. Anyway, can you expand on why your method would be a better option? It's not that I'm unable to raise the energy or unable to do full loops. Like I said, I've been doing this daily for quite a while. My problem is that at certain times, the energy becomes unstable in the kidney area. Would this not be something I should fix at the physical level (ie: reinforce the kidneys) I will take your recommendation and start practicing zhan zhouang, although I am a bit hesitant as with Spring Forest Qigong, Master Lin asks not to incorporate any outside methods until you are well versed with SPQ (months and months of training).

Hi everyone, I recently began level 3 of Spring Forest Qigong using the manual and the guided Sun and Moon meditations. I am having trouble finding people other than SFQG instructors who have experience with this level. So if anyone here has went through level 3 (or even 4!), please let me know, as I would love to hear about others' experiences with the meditations and be able to ask some questions of my own. Cheers

It's a very very simple visualization/focus based meditation. I could describe it in a few sentences but I'm afraid I don't want to break any intellectual property laws. Plus, master Lin is an incredible man so if you're interested please look at the SFQG online store for his material.

Hi everyone! Some believe that this year (or thereabouts), many of us will experience a shift in consciousness from the third density (dimension), into the fourth. It has been said that in this new density, telepathy is the main method of communication and thus, you cannot hide your thoughts from others and vice versa. So my question is, (and I am dead serious about this) what will happen to humor and comedy? How would one go about telling a joke if the audience already knew the punchline? I am very concerned that I will not be able to bring my comedic with me in the coming evolution in consciousness.

Hi everyone I'm Jack and I have been meditating and doing qigong very intensively for the past few months. I'm very eager to learn and share here. What a wonderful place.
