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

Yep, was gonna say the same thing. Got a cord that needs cutting. Ya Mu talks about this in his book if your interested.

 

Also just out of curiosity what is your practice?

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 don't think this path is meant to be easy. Perhaps you have not been thrown off it at all, but due to your practice this latent problem/attachment has been unrooted and is manifesting itself.

There is a method for cutting the cords that attach you to another person, in this case it seems like the attachment is draining you.

Hey guys,

I apologize if this doesn't belong here, but I'm in need of a bit of support.

For months I have been on the right path with my practice, my perspective, with life, with everything. I was doing so great! I never missed a single qigong or meditation session in my schedule (which I do about 10 hours a day of), not even once.

Then my ex-girlfriend came back into the picture a few weeks ago (she broke up with me half a year ago), and things started getting bad for me. She is now dating someone else, but claims she still loves me and all that silly stuff. However, I'm not allowed to see her or call her.... the whole thing is very complicated and totally nuts!

My ego came back full-force, I realized just how much control I am allowing her to have over me, and it is affecting my life in a very negative way.

During my practice, my meditations, and during my sleep, she always appears. It took me a long time to be able to stop thinking about her, but now she is back in the forefront of my consciousness.

I feel like I have lost my connection with my true inner self and divinity, and I'm having a hard time getting it back.

I know it's only a matter of time before things get back to normal, but sometimes just a few words can have such a tremendous impact....

I love you bums and thank you for being here!

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.

Thanks guys. I've been looking up some of the recomendations - and will decide soon. As I understand it, OBE's and lucid dreaming can be used for more than kicks. You can gain insights and carry over what you've learned into the "real" world - making the real world seem not so real. I'm still trying to figure out the scary part....I'm assuming people sometimes see bad entities or maybe demons. I guess if this happens you just stand your ground...because they can't really hurt you. Maybe after a while if you lose your fears of these things - you will have less fear in the real world. So I guess to some extent it takes "balls" to do this. Spiritual balls.

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.

so like on that particular loop? not like the beginning of the session, or prior? just because...you probably dont want to change the strategy "in the middle of it," better to stop at the lower dantien and let the charge coalesce in the proper location.

 

 

hm, so ostensibly dispersing some in the adjacent channels (i.e. UB.) if you liken "points" to the spacetime curvature about an event horizon, oddly enough the curvature is higher at the horizon for a smaller black hole, or, "a smaller width dimple at similar 'depth in spacetime' (i.e. gravitational potential as 'depth') produces a steeper curvature." my experience is similar with regard to size & focus, there is a similar potential regardless of whether the focus is small or large, when it is large it is spread out or otherwise disharmonious like when your breath isnt well harmonized, structures inefficient, mind scattered - as compared to focused, harmonious, energetically optimized - able to handle more bandwith. the potential is a function of your "overall current level of cultivation" sorta like "your play in the game is a function of how hard you practice" but with the added present-focus with regard to "size."

 

as such, it seems you have a bandwith bottleneck there of some sort, but I'm honestly unqualified to assess whether it is something to be pushed through, worked around, let go of, dissolved, herb'd, whatever possible solutions, or whether it is a "blockage" or a "weak area."

 

that said, I do think some time spent doing the small small mco would be beneficial in that by supporting the lower loop of it and not going past the mingmen it would support the kidneys and you may be able to figure out if it is some sort of blockage, weakness, failing of supporting physical or energy structure. plus the focus would gently be there where the "issue" is.

 

perhaps some of our medical qigong practitioners can chime in

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.

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.

that was more descriptive, but generally along the lines of my impression. I'm certainly not qualified to say what exactly it is or the severity, but the description does reinforce my gut feeling to support it from beneath. can you tell if this will happen ahead of time or is this something that only shows itself while you're in the middle of doing loops?

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.

What sensation was the kidney? Burning? Tingly? x inner smile? = win.

 

If you are looking for herbal remedy or preventative/rejuvenation effects:

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.

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).

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?

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,

 

I dont do SF qi kung but interested in what the Sun and Moon meditation is about? Is it a visualisation or is it direct gazing at the sun and moon?

 

Thanks in advance...

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

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.
