Hi Parizottoz, welcome to the forum (all the way from Paris ). I like the chakra system too.

Synchronicity happening. Recently I have developed a wish to study and work with chakras. In fact, an aquitance sent me an audio file (frequency) just a few days ago that is supposed to work on the root chakra. I hope this is something we can explore together

Hey welcome to the family
wow you have a lot of interests.
I wish you a lot of growing on your spiritual journey.

 

please be aware that mixing energy systems is not recommended - at least i got that as a recommendation from at least 3 teachers. and also read that in books.
If you need more information regarding this let me know.

Yoga and qigong have some similarities but also differences.

and it takes depth to really embody a spiritual practice. doing two energy methods(qigong and yoga) at the same time can even sabotage your goals. less is more.
I hope i dont sound like a party pooper to you, haha

i want to make sure that you get the most out of what you do.

 
There is also a deep philosophical meaning behind the word “gong” – as in Qi Gong. “Gong” does not simply mean practice; it refers to a skill or mastery that is developed over a long period of time. It implies patience, discipline, consistency, and sincere effort. Gong does not arise from practicing a little here and there or constantly switching methods. It develops through steady dedication, repetition, and staying with one path — even when the progress feels subtle. It is about truly going deep and embodying a practice. That is why many teachers emphasize focus. Less is often more when it comes to genuine inner development.

 

It’s like with friendships — the more people you try to be close friends with, the more time and energy it takes to truly get to know each of them.
If you focus on one or two friendships, you naturally go deeper faster, because your time and attention are not divided.

It’s similar with spiritual practice. When you focus on one path, your energy is concentrated. When you divide it between several systems, depth may take longer — or the processes can even interfere with each other.

in general working with yoga and qigong - also means, when you want to go really deep, to look how you use your energy.

in qigong it is often a suggestion to focus on one thing. working on a lot of goals at the same time will divide your energy. i can only recommend to show decisivness and commitment to one thing.

Both qigong and yoga are involved movements and breathing. The movements in Qigong that is more dynamic than Yoga. I don't see anything that could sabotage one or the other. Have you encountered such adversity?

Hi everyone! I allways read about Taichi,

Welcome to the TDB.

FYI I am a Yang style Taichi( 楊式太極拳) practitioner for more fifty years by now. I have never treated it as martial arts but I have tremendous health benefits from it.

Bodhidharma brought Indian yoga to China (c. 5/6th century A.D.). There it mixed with pre-existing Chinese Taoist 導引 (dao3 yin3) to form qigong.
