Where to learn neidan/neigong properly ? + How i ended up here
Antares replied to thewheelofortune's topic in Welcome
I would not recommend any neigong in your case. Since Michael has recommended daode center I would recommend to do their daogong system in your case. You should ask them if you can do it since not all people with disability issues are allowed to practice any energetic practices. Their daogong practice is very good for beginners and I would even say must be done before they get involved in any advanced energetic methods. It helps to eliminate imbalances in the meridians also removing blockages, brings mind/body to greater balance and purifies mind-heart. I myself am coming back to it and find it very helpful. -
He states that he does it but in fact... as an example He talks a lot about how to use breath and post heaven Wu-Xing (metal - lungs for example) and from what I can see he teaches qigong with some elements of neigong plus seated meditations. I would not say it is harmful but it is very questionable how he is getting True Water and True Fire to activate the alchemical MCO. May be there is smth he does not teach openly but I can't see anything from real neigong/neidan in what he teaches in his books or youtube videos.

Well, in Russian seed also means smth that you plant in the garden. May be that is why the word sperm was used, BTW is not True Jing is what you get sperm from? May be you get it from plants I dont know

This is excerpt from the book of WLP Patriarch The Teacher of Single Yang, but you are right in re to translation. I mean translation from Chinese was ok but somebody from Russian WLP branch made bad translation into English years ago so I left it as it is. Most important thing here is the idea behind it.

If there is no true sperm in the tripod (Fu), that is like to boil empty kettle (Cheng) using water and fire. This is the best apt expression in relation to the exercises of qigong in the performance of the rotation around the circle of heaven. Without Water flowing and without the True Sperm to realize a small circle of heaven - to use a feeling of qi is like using a fire to burn under an empty pot. Then you can’t escape a burn-out. This circle of heaven of qigong uses the mobilization-release potential of body and produces wastes. It's just like to speed up a car with the brakes on. The faster it will go, the more damage there will be, but it will give no benefits. Similar to this, the rotation of the circle of heaven does not do any good. The above shows the difference between a small circle in alchemy and qigong.

Alright, but I just wonder why he teaches qigong MCO, is any benefit in doing so If he teaches qigong how can he know neidan energetic mechanics? I am not talking about MCO specifically, it was just example of what he teaches.
-
If I am not mistaken he teaches the work with MCO as seated meditation and trying to open it with the use of breath and attention. BTW he teaches qigong MCO. I dont think this is a good choice to read. I would even say to avoid it by all means

Let me guess...mmm... from muscles strength?
-
Yes, but is there Heaven and Earth work in it? Does it build LDT? Which Yang form does it?
-
Agree. I dont remember that there were any other seminars in this lineage or any sort of meetings for further training.
-
Do you have any experience of training in this lineage? I remember may be 10 years ago they held a seminar and wanted approx-ly 5000 $ for 7 days retreat. May be it was very advanced training but... I doubt it.
-
Yang style is simplified version of Taiji, so no neidan in it. Read about the history of it - how and why it was developed.
-
Probably he fights demons and agents Smith

Interesting, I just found this info on taichitao.tv:"When we are able to reach our Te, we are able to slip through the doorway of birth and death, and transcend the human dimension. We can reach the “backbone” energy of the universe, which is pure Tao." It seems like he used the same analogy with candle I used here in re to De.
