tao stillness

The spiritual device so far is manifesting things pretty quickly. Some things can take much longer due to circumstances. As for mixing methods, I don't care to do that with those you lised. FP has too many forms and some take so long to do just one of them. 690AD I just have never been able to keep doing since static postures just are not as enjoyable to do as the flowing movement types of qigong. TTP first five movements I dropped because they had the feel of being more like calisthenics so I have not had any interest in obtaining the dvd that has all 31 of the exercises on it. I do 5 Petal Plum and Longevity Qigong. I just had Sheng Zhen Gong tested today and it turned out to be very powerful, very, very good. Will boost my evolution and over time produce experiences. Purify and open the nadis which is a Vedic term for meridians. Evolution means rising in higher states of consciousness, spiritual progress, increase in shen. The same method for my wife would produce maybe too much purification, releasing stress to the point of making her uncomfortable. We have the opportunity to learn the method here locally since there are many classes offered during the week. I have had the dvd and manual for this method some years ago and found the forms too complicated to learn so for me I do need a live teacher so I might join the next class this month. It is mainly for my wife and I to learn a method together just for a shared fun activity.

Sounds like how Earth chi is supposed to circulate.

Perfect feedback! I have commented elsewhere that lately other teachers have been producing their qigong dvds in mirrored manner so that the student and teacher are going in the same direction and that way you eliminate the stress of thinking which is his left hand and which is my right hand? I have put aside many qigong dvds because of the lack of mirroring. What you can do with volume 4 is put a mirror in front of your monitor and then the instructor and you will be going in the same direction. It really takes someone with good spatial orientation to be able to learn without a mirrored image. I am not sure why it took so long for teachers to realize all they have to do on the dvd is to say left when they mean right, and vice versa. What will also help to learn it is to play it at very slow speed, break down one section of it, put it on pause, etc. I have done that and it is time consuming and as I get older I just don't have the patience to learn like that any longer. But from people who do the form it seems that they are getting a lot out of it.

I remember the answer to that question from Sifu Terry was that those projects would take some time and from that I got the impression that they were strong goals but finishing them this year was not set in stone due to other pressing projects Sifu Terry is also working on.

The benefits of Pan Nam's 5 Petal Plum Chi Kung are now evidenced by experiencing more energy after I do them. The 10 minute form is to be done once in the morning, afternoon and evening. I usually am doing the last session after midnight and even later when I am really pooped. But after doing the 5 Petal Plum Chi Kung the fatigue is usually gone and I can stay up even later, LOL. I am truly the worse person to ask about experiences since that is something that is blocked usually. That is the reason I rely upon a medical clairvoyant who tells me what is happening since I am not sensitive enough to detect these kinds of experiences. At times he sees kundalini shooting up my spine and lighting up my psychic centers while I feel almost nothing while doing the chi kung forms. My wife on the other hand can feel the chi flowing exactly where it claims to be going. The Tong Zhi Qigong by Master Ngiam is more enjoyable to perform than the static postures of Petal Plum. While doing the Tong Zhi I can sense that I am in the alpha wave state of relaxation. I also just have this sense while doing them that they are very ancient and are the real thing. I know that since doing Tong Zhi and 5 Petal Plum chi kung my intuition has opened up strongly. Things that I think about then manifest pretty quickly. It first seems that I am just having a daydream or just having thoughts about something but then the phone rings or an email suddenly comes in about who or what I was just thinking about a minute or seconds ago. Little things like this have just been happening more often lately. Enough so that I now recognize what they really are rather than just saying they are coincidences. On the other hand, my friend in Canada who is certified by the Oneness University in India as being Awakened, is having tremendous surges of kundalini when he is at his yoga class. Usually after he lies down after the yoga it happens. He does Nidra yoga, not sure what that is. At times the kundalini lifts his prone body off the ground. At other times it moves him spontaneously and effortlessly into yoga postures that he has never learned or seen before. All of us are opened in different ways and that is why my medical clairvoyant reminds people that one size chi kung does not fit all. They work differently for each person.

Along the same lines as above regarding time spent doing these meditations, I would like to ask Riding the Ox how the 90 second meditations on volume 5 can take several minutes to do each one? Does this mean that you are doing like 10 repetitions of each one? I am scratching my head over this one. Like Sifu Terry said to the other super slo-mo guy, I would love to see you post a video of you doing those flash meditations at that speed since I thought that I did have the correct sense of what moving as slow as a shifting sand dune is like.

Yes, there is great learning by rereading the posts on this forum. But it might be easier to just pay great attention to how the methods are demonstrated on the dvds. If a person then has a physical condition preventing doing a method exactly as demonstrated, they could then just ask Sifu Terry rather than tinker with it via experimentation. In this art, surrender rather than creative thinking works better for me.

I only hear good things about Yang Jwing Ming and Ken Cohen. Stumpich, I see that you live in Phoenix. I lived in Mesa for 4 years until 1988 when I moved to East. Unfortunately, while in AZ I did not know about chi kung because now I see there have been some well known chi kung teachers living in the Valley of the Sun. However, while there I was fortunate enough to receive the services of the world renown psychic surgeon in Tempe, Michael Venezuela who was the real deal.

Someone several months ago asked if I could recommend a good and complete system of chi kung that is online and free. At the time I could not think of any. But now I can make a suggestion. I stumbled up Master Ngiam's website from Singapore where he has chi kung and tai chi videos of his simple forms. I had one of them recently tested by Eric Isen and the report came back that it is very good and it showed where the Qi was going. I currently am doing one of the master's seated chi kung forms and really enjoying those postures. He has a family lineage and impressive martial arts credentials. I like that his chi kung forms are brief and he shows the form as standing or seated. There are instructions along with descriptions of the benefits of most postures.

Thanks Earl Grey. Sounds like you obviously are having higher states of consciousness experiences from Flying Phoenix. I would assume you also have had higher states from most other forms of qigong that you have tried.

Congrats on another achievement Earl Grey. But I think it would be good if you would continue to share those great experiences. I think it would be a mistake to think that everyone who does FP is going to eventually have similar experiences so there would be no need to spoil their surprise when they get to that point. Since nervous systems are so different and people are sensitive or insensitive to certain energies, it would be nice to hear what people are experiencing from doing FP. Not everyone is having great experiences doing FP, I could also make this statement for any other chi kung method.

If memory is correct, Bending the Bows is to be done 18 times.

I would think that what we cultivated in past lives is reflected in how any chi kung method works for us in this lifetime. There are people who do chi kung for the first time and have some amazing experiences, and others who do it for years and are not even yet feeling chi in their hands. I think there are a lot of variables/reasons involved for this, but I think one reason is how much chi did we deposit in our account from the past? We pick up this time around from where we left off. Those who did the work in the past now reap bigger benefits. To me, that explains child prodigies. But I do think that main factor is the current quality of our nervous system. If we are wired correctly, then we should be picking up the signals from the chi flowing. If not, the chi could be flowing but we might have dim awareness of anything happening. Just my thoughts here, nothing solid in terms of research to back this up.

Hi Sifu Terry, I know that you have said that you want each of us to find out what chi kung can do by using our own direct experiences. But I find the sharing of your own experiences from cultivation of energy over the decades to be very inspirational and I would like to hear about more of them if you care to share further stories from along the path.

It is simple to do but you have to pay attention and do all of the things that he is instructing such as standing on edge of your feet, not folding the thumb when you have the index finger wrapped around the edge of finger nail. Little things to keep doing during the 10 minute form. It just takes practice to keep all of those little but vital things in mind during the form and then it eventually should be pretty automatic. This is not a typical style of chi kung.

I don't think this applies to Flying Phoenix Chi Kung, but when I had a Skype lesson from a qigong teacher that was able to do chi transmission, it felt like a world of difference doing certain movements in terms of how much stronger I could feel the energy in between my hands like never before. Then the following week I did the same movements on Skype but with a teacher who did not know how to do transmissions. It was nothing compared to the other teacher's session. So I think if there ever is an opportunity to learn a qigong method from a teacher in person, that would be best. We can never see ourselves as others see us.

Phil, wonderful spiritual guide teaching via your dream! Ancient systems are weakened via innovation by those students who have not reached a high enough state of consciousness to really know what they are doing. The current state of world conditions reflect this when daily meditation of ancient cultures long ago became ineffective because the correct way to meditate was lost when later generations changed things around. One of my qigong teachers told me that only someone experiencing a very high level of Qi can ever create an effective qigong method. The last step of the teaching, Ri, is fascinating because it is saying that when you reach the level of Ri, your state of Consciousness is so high that you are spontaneously living and acting according to the Laws of Nature and therefore you do not make mistakes. So for someone in less than that state of consciousness to be innovative with a system from a long lineage to tamper with it, just has not made much sense to me. I come from a tradition of masters from the Vedic tradition that is safeguards the methods so carefully that when we were training to become teachers of this method, we could not change even one word in some of the teaching methods or else we would not have been allowed to be initiated as instructors. So if I qigong method is too difficult for me, I just drop it rather than make it easier to do. The benefits are not known when we change things around. Just my way of looking at this. But I understand breaking movements downs, that is how I learn them rather than trying to do the whole form over and over again. I master small parts of it and then I can follow along with the whole form.

I am glad that Pangu Mystical Qigong helped you. I know that it quickly healed a pretty serious virus for me. I usually do not get sick so I have not had to use Pangu since then. Whenever you have an illness remember to do as Pangu in one day as you possibly can, hours of it. That is what I was taught by the master's daughter who manages their headquarters.

I have thought for a long time that my role in life seems to be the way shower rather than the finder of the Way. Just my karma, I guess. I would prefer to do some lengthy tracking of results before I endorse that spiritual device. I want to see what it does over at least 6 months to a year. I was told by the seller that I would see results in 2 months or money refunded. I have done business over the years with that fellow and he is very ethical and is involved with high quality energy products that I own after having the claims for what they can do tested by Eric. So if it turns out that this method can be consistently counted upon to produce results, then later on I will sing its praises. At this point I am pleased but it is too early to know if the results so far were coincidental or if this item is working as advertised. I never want to steer anyone down a blind alley. But I also want to encourage others that we live in an era where there are powerful energies that are now being rediscovered for us to make use of. Higher consciousness is on the rise.

I cannot help but seeing the irony in the title of that book and the name of the author!

I read some master saying that you need an understanding of TCM for chi kung to be effective. Since I will not be enrolling in acupuncture school in this lifetime, I instead ordered "The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Medicine", translation and commentary by Maoshing Ni of the famous family of healers in Los Angeles. His father has written at least one hundred books I think and I have some of them. I just started reading The Yellow Emperor book and it is written in a way that is understandable to the Western mind. Pretty fascinating, especially since right from the beginning it is stating things similar to the teachings of Oneness and also the Tao Te Ching. No surprise there. Reading it so far makes me have an even deeper appreciation of the energy art of chi kung and I feel very fortunate that it is part of my life.

Maharishi used to say that when someone is in God Consciousness, everything appears to have a gold aura to it. Eric said that he wishes that he could also heal the things that he sees wrong in the body but it would take a certain level of higher consciousness to be able to do that. He does not believe that it can be learned, it has to result from going to even a higher level of consciousness.

The following are test results of my latest find, Pan Nam's Five Petal Plum Chi Kung also called "Kidney Breathing Returns Chi to Source." The dvd arrived today and within an hour or so Eric tested it. I used a new spiritual device that I obtained in order to manifest desires and I asked for the right chi kung method for me so that I can stick with it and stop searching for the right method. From Eric: Wow. Most powerful system I have ever tested. Really gets the Kundalini activated. Works on liver, spleen and pretty much all over the body. Great for health and spiritual development. Qi goes up the spine. Cleansing and purifying. In later stages of practice will do much more. Eric Hi Eric, Would you please test this very unique style of Chi Kung dvd called, Kidney Breathing Returns Chi to Source with Grand Master Eddie Chong. It was taught by famous Wing Chun kung fu Master Pan Nam in Fushan, China. Eddie Chong was one of only 10 students who Pan Nam taught this chi kung to because in the wrong hands it could be used for something other than health purposes. Steve

Eric's gift came decades before he ever got into Oneness. It came to him while on an experimental 6 month meditation course by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi of TM where he taught the correct way to do Patanjali's Yoga Sutras which when done correctly always result in a state of higher consciousness like described in the Vedas or by advanced yogis or real chi kung masters.

Real experiences by Blue Phoenix that other people on the path have also shared. My best friend's sister went to a Oneness Blessing weekend deepening event a few years ago. She was not experienced with the Oneness deeksha/energy. However, during the course she was looking up in the clouds and saw Kwan Yin. Later Kwan Yin appeared to her and taught her a simple chi kung method of holding an energy ball which she has since been able to use to heal other people. I think White Tara and Green Tara in the Tibetan tradition serve a similar role as that of Kwan Yin, but I do not think they are the same deity/energy. It sounds like people are starting to have some pretty mystical experiences from Flying Phoenix Chi Kung lately.
