Rejuvinizers, Crystals, EMFs, and Primordial Qigong

Hi Ryan,

There are stories of Taoist immortals or near-immortals
that became so skillful that they could be outside in
below zero temperatures with little protection from the
elements–yet they felt no discomfort or sensitivity to cold.

However, I’m not that skilled, so when its below zero outside,
I wear a heavy coat!

Likewise, if you have not strengthened your body-mind-spirit
to the point where it can “ignore” these EMF energies, then
there is nothing wrong with your use of your external aid.

If and when–however–you do strengthen yourself so that you don’t
engage these energies and so that you don’t let them
dictate/influence your being, then you’ll find that you’ll
naturally no longer have any need for such an external device.

At that point, you’ll simply discard it.

I guess the point I’m making is, is to not worry about it.

Aside: As to how you drop something, you just drop it.

Example: Since I was a kid, I wore a watch CONSTANTLY–even while
sleeping. It only came off for a few minutes during showering.
Last year, I decided to stop wearing one. I had decided that
nothing in this world was so important it had be done at a
certain time, and there was no reason to live my life by a watch (I
sort of realized that by being dependent on a watch, it was
making my decisions for me–rather than me making the decisions
for me). I figured that if I really really needed to know the time,
I’d find a clock somewhere, or I’d fish into my pocket for my cell phone.
It was hard to let go of. I had become so dependent on it.
But I just took it off, and never looked back. It was unsettling
at first–I’d keep looking at my wrist even though I had no watch on.
That eventually went away, but what I soon discovered was how much more
joy I had. Even though I had the same schedule to keep during the day,
everything seemed more relaxed. Time became less important. Things
would take as long as they needed to take. If things needed to be
done by a certain time, and they weren’t–then oh well.

At any rate, I digress, but the point is, if you want to drop something,
you just drop it. If you can’t drop it, then you aren’t ready yet
to move on. In the latter case, it doesn’t mean anything bad–it
just means it is not yet the right moment; that’s all.

Sort of a long-winded monologue, but the point I guess is

“Don’t worry about it. If you cultivate long enough, these
problems take care of themselves.”

>>>I still want to ask how y’all specifically feel you relate to EMFs.

I try to have my energy body ignore their influence, and just tune it
out as background noise. Again, everyone on a subtle level chooses
whether they want to resonate with something or not. It’s not something
I choose to resonate with, so I don’t. Moreover, once or twice a year
I go into a hermitage which just so happens to be in a remote location
away from electromagnetic noise, and use such a time to restructure
in the event there were any subtle influence . . . BUT ultimately you
have to come into harmony with your environment, regardless of what
that environment is. Everything ultimately stems from the lifeforce, so
what are you trying to hide from? If you feel like you are being attacked,
then you will be.

>>>So basically keep practicing =)
>>>As for dropping things, yeah, i’ve done it before too,
>>>and well that’s one of the main parts of the pursuit of Tao.
>>>I guess it’s more something i want to do than truly feel i’m ready for,

You are really only successful when both the “mental want” and
the “internal readiness” are on the same page. If these are in disagreement,
then any action amounts to forcing. Forcing never works and just
creates more problems. Thus rather than putting energy into forcing,
put energy into cultivation–which helps to align your mental wants
with your internal readiness. When the alignment happens, things
occur naturally without effort.

Oftentimes resistance to change is really just underlying fear.
By putting energy into cultivation, the part that is afraid starts to
feel safe, and starts to realize that everything will in fact be OK.
Then you will resonate a true feeling with no internal conflict that
you don’t need XXX, and you will simply drop it without any thought
whatsoever.

>>>But i suppose it could also be looked at like stopping the
>>>use of medication when you get to a certain point in qigong practice.

Yeah. This is it basically.

>>>One question about the practice of primordial qigong.
>>>I have the audio but have only listened to a little bit of it.
>>>Can you tell me, on the Heaven gatherings do you gather Yin (Female, Moon)
>>>into the left side with the right hand (so it crosses over from the right),
>>>or use the right hand to scoop down what’s already on the left (Yang, Male, Sun)?

I’ve never really thought about it until you asked the question.

When I do the practice I don’t usually think about the action of the left
and right hands as being different during the Heaven cycle. I sort
of feel like the whole movement is being done from the yuan space
and there’s no differentiation. In that sense, you are just acting as
a conduit helping to bring what’s above, down to below. In other words,
there is really just above/below; then the left/right is just circumstantial–moreover, since you are doing ten movements, left and right are balancing anyway.

If you did want to separate the two, my intuition seems to suggest that
you’d be gathering yin from the right and bringing it into the yang left side,
and conversely–and then the mixing of the yin and yang creates yuan with
your body as the birthing chamber. After all, the movement of your
arms forms a vesica pisces with the eye of the intersection coinciding
with your body.

However, these are just random rough thoughts on my end, so
maybe someone else can provide you with more insight.
