    esotericwarrior replied to the topic zhang zhuang in the forum General 21 years, 2 months ago

    Hey Trunk, Three amigos are the ankle rotations, squats, and k1 breathing.Could you explain how to properly do k1 breathing?Do you inhale from the dan tien to the k1 and exhale back up to the dan tien or inhale from the k1 to the dan tien and exhale back down? Thanks again. Sean

    Standing practice causing the chi to get stuck?I don’t understand.I have been told that just by focusing on the dan tien the chi will well up and circulate of its own accord to open all the meridians (eventually) and that to purposely try and circulate it can cause it to get stuck.This is from the book warriors of stillness and I have also heard…[Read more]

    Ok guys, I think I am starting to get to the bottom of this.Let me digress for a moment.Not only did I spend the last six months or so (probably more) smoking weed all the time, I would get the munchies after I smoked so I would eat TONS of junk food.I mean TONS.Boxes of cookies, brownies, ice cream, all in one session till I was so full I could…[Read more]
