Meditating on top floor

What shielding technique are you using, out of curiosity?

 

From Michael Lomaxs book, you use your INTENT to manifest a purple shield at arms length around you. Beneath the purple bubble you manifest a golden one.

The more you develop your INTENT and energy the greater the effect.

As Michael said above, just do it and the more you practice the better.

mmmm.....do what you want but your perineum must directly be connected with pure earth in order to absorb the yin of the earth, which yes you're correct in that to accumulate more yang you must be nourshing your yin. You can still accumulate yin if you are not connected to the earth, but it will take incomparably longer and not efficient for cultivation of yin yang gong.

Oh and in regards to you not feeling any difference in meditating on ground or in your apartment.... just because you don't feel a difference doesn't mean there isn't one, besides from what I understand, one cannot actually 'feel' yin energy itself, only its effect in relation to yang; black isn't actually a color itself, but merely the absence of color, darkness isnt an actual thing - just the absence of light, just as yin isn't tangible or graspable, but the void/absence polar opposite of 'thing'/yang, it is 'no-thing' formless but in essence essential to the cultivation of yang for their eternal balance grows out of the dualistic embrace into the eventual spiritual fusion of non-dual Oneness, Tao.

When the Soviet Cosmonauts came back from their space exploration they were so weak they could barely walk. What was wrong? They had 4 of the 5 elements, good nutrition, water, oxygen and light but they were missing the 5th element -electromagnetic field or the earth’s gravity. The earth’s magnetic field has decreased over 95% since the time of the dinosaurs. This decrease is adversely affecting the charge of our cells. Each cell is like a battery and when the charge is lost the cell dies.

You can check electrical grounding at different heights and through different materials (carpet, hardwood, airspace, cement, tile, grass, etc) with a simple $10 body voltage meter.

(I know qi =/= electricity, but there could be some loose correlation there too.)

Cultivating outside under the sky and on grass or earth is your best bet. Anywhere else is second best and synthetic materials under you are to be avoided wherever possible. That said, cultivating anywhere beats not cultivating.
