Horse Stance And Stretching The Lower Body Builds Jing?

[Annnon]

I always knew that horse stance burned Jing because of the stress the body goes through.

 

What are your thoughts on this? And what about the stretching part, doest it also builds jing?

Are you talking about building or burning? Because you mention both.

I'm talking about burning when I mention the horse stance, I think it burns jing, but maybe it builds jing, so this is my first question - Does horse stance builds or burns jing?

 

And the second question is about stretching the lower body(legs), does it build jing by stretching?

Depends what you mean by 'jing'. I think you could say that ma bu (horse stance) practice develops the jing if you mean jing as the connected tissue network of the body. ma bu practice can develop a 'stretchy' sort of feeling in the body. Ma bu burns because it's painful :-)

Stretching won't help Jing directly, but indirectly it creates overall well-beings that is beneficial to Jing, Chi, Shen.  Jing is more from conservation.

By “conservation” do you mean sexual restraint of orgasm? Not losing JING by not emitting semen?

Taoist concept is that Jing Chi Shen exist in different levels.    The lowest level is body fluid.   Conservation applies in everything.   That means firstly you should not over exert yourself,  physically, emotionally, sexually, financially, academically, philanthropically  etc.  Better still is to keep a margin, say 80% of your maximum capabilities.  It applies to everything all the time.   Sexual restraint of orgasm is more on sexual health.   If you indulge on these sexual/health techniques, you cannot conserve Jing too.
