thank you both for your input.
as for practicing for half an hour. i can practice this much under guided audio but when i do it by myself it takes me only a few minutes. it usualy takes me around 5 minutes to do the inner smile smiling to all 3 lines. and than i collect the energy at the navel and run it for 1 or two minutes at the microcosmic…[Read more]

Hi Art
just wanted to mention in the same intent as others have wrote here afterwards. it’s better not to be presise of what to expect of the result of doing the chi gung rather just to obsereve openly what happens internally before and after the excersises.
peace and chi

Hello Art
i’m not an expert like others on this forum but what i can recommand for you to do is to take measurements, meaning ask yourself how do you feel before you do the chi kung and after you do the chikung. if you’re sitting do it by sitting quitely for couple of minutes before and after each session and just try to feel what’s going on and…[Read more]

He gave me a medallion as well. it is shaped as a hand holding a female goddess head. at first i thaught it was Gwan Yin but than i realized she’s a buddhist goddess. so i wonder which goddess is it? if you have any idea by all means be glad if you could share… 🙂

Hmm, when i try to compare them, i guess they kind of mean the same thing. not thinking too much just doing it and feeling comfortable while you’re at it.

This guy is pretty cool.
i visited him when i was in Wudang a year ago. i asked him what’s the best way to cultivate jing chi shen. and his answer was that it’s like riding a bicicle. once you get the hang of it you don’t think about it too much 😉 …
he lives in cave near the road to purple heaven palace.
hope to see him again someday.

Well from my experience sometimes it’s not the practice itself that causes the problem directly it just brings lets call them stuff from the unconciouns which could be felt also as stuck energy or emotional pain.
maybe it something from the past or maybe it something you are exposed to in daily life that causes the pressure so i think even a…[Read more]

Hi
i’m practicing the basics myself from what you describe i think you should get some proffesional help i’m not from the states so i can’t really recommand of anyone. but i think you should find some therapist who has a level of familiarity with practices from the east. i think just trying to fix things with more practices is a partial…[Read more]

very nice pictures. would be nice though if you could write a little about each picture where it was taken. i know it’s a hassle but i am quite curious about where some of the pictures were taken…
thanks for sharing 🙂

Hi
have you ever tried doing ocean breathing instead of just standing? i find it much more easier to relax and get into flow by doing just ocean breathing for long periods of time which i would usually dedicate for stnading. if anyone has some comments on that apreciate it
peace and happines

Hi Michael
you’re lecuture is very inspiring.
From your lecture it seems that the fusion practice is a very Yang:
Using the mind to circulate stuck emotinal chi, openinnig deep channels etc…
My question is: is there a Yin way to practice fusion?

smile 🙂

Thanx for your reply Michael
I intend to follow you’re advice.

by the way do you consider Alexander Technique and Pilates to be a western form of WaiDan chi kung?

In both cases your’e using the mind to move the body. in Pilates you move the body from the center. and in Alexander from what i understand you learn to release tension and move…[Read more]

Hi Slider thanx for your sharing i’ve been asking myself the same question.
In my opinion chi kung is not desinged to make you better in your daily activities… i see it more as a self exploration- finding balance and harmony within. which in time influence your daily life but not directly, I mean not in away that i do this type of chikung to…[Read more]
