>>42304898Here is a quick fun guide(i dind##################################Qi and hands##################################0. The Yong-chun and Jang-shim are channels through which energy flows in and out of the body, serving as pathways through which universal energy is supplied to the human body. Before beginning training to sense energy, it is important to properly relax both the mind and the body.1. First, rub your hands together vigorously until your palms feel warm. Then clap at least 50 times. The sensation in the Jang-shim points will become more noticeable as blood circulates actively through the entire palms of both hands. When clapping, spread your hands wide like fans to make sure all parts of both palms are fully stimulated.2. Relax your entire body comfortably so there is no tension in your neck, shoulders, arms, or chest, and allow your mind to relax as well. Press your palms together in front of your chest and focus on the sensations in your palms.Keeping your attention on the warmth in your palms naturally leads to concentration. Stay focused on your hands, noticing even the smallest sensations present there.At first, you will feel body heat, and then you may begin to notice both warm and cool sensations. Be aware of the blood flowing from your heart through your arteries to your hands. You may feel the pulse within your hands, along with other subtle sensations.3.Continue to keep your awareness on the palms of your hands as you slowly move them about 5 to 10 cm apart. In your hands, you may notice sensations such as warmth, tingling, and what feels like a magnetic force or gentle pressure. Your hands may even feel as though they are floating in the air.[1/2]
>>42304902(I didn't make)*4. Maintaining this feeling, slowly move your hands apart as you inhale and bring them closer together as you exhale. It is important to stay relaxed and move slowly and naturally. Once you can concentrate easily, you can continue this practice regardless of your breathing pattern.You may begin to feel a strong energy field, soft like jelly, forming between your hands. If this sensation becomes stronger, move your hands even farther apart and pay attention to the changes in the Qi energy as the distance between your palms increases.Your hands may start to feel like magnets, gently pushing away from and pulling toward each other. This sensation is very subtle at first, but with continued focus it gradually becomes stronger and clearer. As the sense of Qi energy grows, move your hands farther apart. Follow the flow of this energy with your hands, feel its movement, and simply experience the sensation.

I like to eminate a wrath aura To clear projects out my room
>>42304873How to choose the right practice to maintain good physical and mental health? I often feel lethargic and depressed. I also have some pains in joints.
>>42305396qigong helped me.but just read about each one and find which best resonates with you
Hey guys, need opinions. I recently started reading and following Dr Yang's embryonic breathing with no issues so far up until recently. About two weeks ago, any time I've tried to meditate in any capacity it feels as though there's a physical lump in my throat after maybe a minute or two. I tried also taking a bit of time off to see if it passes but it hasn't. Any ideas?
>>42305445Start mewing so you can allow the qi to cruciatestay safe
>>42305445yep this>>42305457 put the tough on the rough of your mouth
>>42305457>>42305461I've been doing this from the start, is there anything else that might be able to help or am I fucked?
>>42305471definitely a blockageIn Qigong practices, which often focus on somatic clearing and removing blockages in the body’s energy channels, there are two main approaches.The first focuses on introducing a positive force to counter and clear the blockage. This comes through working with the whole system building and circulating qi throughout the body. You can also support specific areas by directing attention to them, which can activate the principle of “yi dao, qi dao” (where attention goes, qi follows). In this way, the qi naturally moves to help clear the blockage or imbalance.The second involves releasing negative patterns. This is done by turning attention inward to the sensation and the surrounding area, gently relaxing and letting go of any tension found there. It’s usually a gradual process that may take multiple sessions, requiring repeated, patient awareness of the area over time.
>>42305471alright then "Try picturing it as a ball of energy or light not like mist. See if you can gently expand, contract, or move it around whatever. When meditating, I sometimes notice energy feeling “stuck” in one place, and visualizing it shifting can help. If it won’t move upward, experiment with guiding it downward instead. When a sensation feels especially stubborn, it can help to imagine a tiny version of yourself inside your body, working with that spot and nudging the energy along.If it still doesn’t shift, it may be more of a physical issue rather than an qi related one."
>>42305504>>42305529Thank you both so much, I genuinely appreciate the advice.
anyone achieved all six sensations yet?
>>42305553Well everyone has it, it just depends how sensitive you are to it. You know that feeling when you know someone is watching or when something bad is coming your way. we all have this and it can be developed through mediation and experience.so yes i do, and so do you.
>>42304873nice to see it back
So what actually IS the consensus on Damo Mitchell these days?
>>42305888Never read him but I have heard relativity good things about him additionally the consensus on thedaobums is that he is legit
>>42304873For the next half hour I will be sending my energy upwards towards my higher energy centers. I enjoy this. I feel good after doing this.
Very tangentially related question because I'm not sure what other thread to ask and there's overlap with her and Daoist ECG, but does anyone here worship/pray to Xi Wangmu, or could point me in a better direction on how to learn more about her and worship methods?
>>42305992Na sorry I’m a monotheist so I don’t, but I’m sure others do. Maybe just check the Taoism daoism torrents on the op
>>42304873 you change the names, thank you
>>42304873Hello, is there any relation between Qi / Chi and Chai ( חי ) ?
>>42305587this is a legitimately hopeful and uplifting message that i genuinely appreciate, thank you. would you say that as you grew more adept and developed this through meditation, you began to experience side effects for the six transportations? i see this come up quite a bit in literature but i've never actually spoken to anyone that has.
>>42306642Mostly just different names for the same thing, this is to be expected as it’s a natural phenomena within all cultures.>>42306652Trust me brother it’s nothing special, it’s similar to having bad hearing. I believe I was just born with it although it’s not like some superpower which some people have again we all have, every human and every animal.For the sake of this discussion I will just give the sense of precision as an example of the 6th sense.This 6th sense is most prevalent within animals, that’s why if you ever have hunted or have talked to hunters you would find out that hunters would forcefully enter empty and void sates of mind as if they didn’t their perception and their deep intent to hunt and kill them would alert the prey and they will notice that they are being watched and quickly run away; truly a beautiful thing.Not really any noticeable side effects as much as it was just there, like “oh someone is watching me” or “I think someone is staring at me”. Nothing to crazy.You can develop this sensitivity to being watched if you are alert as your sate of mind will be more attuned to sense such subliminal forces.Additionally mediation would allow you to me more sensitive to this as well.Also https://www.sheldrake.org/research/sense-of-being-stared-at/the-sense-of-being-stared-at-experiments-in-schoolshttps://www.sheldrake.org/research/sense-of-being-stared-at/experiments-on-the-sense-of-being-stared-at-eliminating-artefacts?utm_sourceAnd read The Sense of Being Stared At: And Other Unexplained Powers of Human MindsAnd read Sheldrake and His Critics: The Sense of Being Glared At
>>42306819Also sorry for my grammar I’m on my phone
>>42306819Thank you. >> pic relatedI want to be an energetic healer, but I need to develop the hand sensitivity to feel subtle energy. Do you have any suggestion ?
Oh word my favorite general is back!So check this out, as I do my Qi gong and I realized that the physical sensation corresponds to these lil itchy things on my meridians, and I have noticed that after they form that once healed the mobilty around the region is higher. Pic related along my liver meridian right leg.>>42306819Based Sheldrake EnjoyerHis son makes lovely music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62RvnXZgHwQ

>>42306819Just get an idea of practice to develop the sense of Qi that flow everywhere : > 1. Meditate at home focus on breath and observe thoughts disolving.> 2. Write in the journal every feel or sensation in a journal> 3. Meditate at in the park / forest near a tree. focus on breath and observe thoughts disolving.> 4. Write in the journal every feel or sensation in a journal> Next day, back to 1. (Everytime must be the same place inside and outside.)The idea is to use the contrast between two place one without life / Qi and another with full of Qi.To accelerate even more the sense of Qi, is to use sweat. Exericice until you sweat like crazy, so the skin will begin to absorb air and external Qi. The idea why we don't feel Qi at the begining that because we never taking time to seek it so the mind erase the information that isn't need it. Qi / Aura exist but we don't feel / see it because the brain erase useless information too quickly. What do you think OP ?
>>42310117oh shit i didnt see this>>42310095
>>42307904bro just do the guide op posted,>>42304902 this is unironically a training method taught in reiki. when you can get the sensations past your shoulders then you have passed the first stage
I wonder if Qi are excedent electron from negative ion but in the wave form, that's why they can't be measured.Oxygen or O2 under UV light (Sun) create 2x O- that enter the body.
>>42310544Qi is just bio electricity.Originally qigong practitioners argued what the substance known as qi. Some said it is entirely immaterial while others say it entirely material. After a while the study of human qi develops and like most thing it’s somewhere in the middle. That being bio-electricity You might experience your qi as heat and just leave it as that, but what you are experiencing is just unrefined qi
>>42307904Oh you want to be a healer good on you.Like this anon said >>42310133 do the guide I posted. If you keep doing this you will be able to become more sensitive to qi within the hands. Keep doing this, do it so you can create a field within a few seconds, do it so you can feel the field even if you stretch you hands out (passing the shoulders will be the hard part). Keep doing this and when you have mastered this practice you have passed the first stage (don’t forget to keep doing this even after).Afterwards i want you to read the reiki book I posted; if you are Christian I can recommend you some Christian mystics which have made books about the subject (theses mystics have been verified as legit by real practitioners I ‘know’). You can also watch Andrew nugget head (i probably spelt that wrong) video lectures on this. It’s on the Taoism torrent (you will need a second person with you and it’s a tad bit hard to follow). Also search him up and read and watch more of his works
Any meditations to enhance and increase radiance and perceptibility of my aura? I believe there is some over lap between doing that and energy cultivation. What I do already is I meditate and do Kegel contraction breathing, sending energy up. I also try to eat clean food as much as I can, reduce intake of stuff like caffeine etc. Allow try to remember to do positive affirmations. Sometimes after doing them I feel tingles and chills like there's an increase in energy throughout my entire body which leads me to believe what I am doing is working.

>>42305396dont forget that the body requires maintenanceget exerciseif you are lethargic and depressed, there is no quicker fix than a decent workout regimen

>>42305888dont expect perfection
>>42305953>consensus on thedaobumslol, lmao even
>>42307904complete fundamentalsopen laogungpretty sure I gave a good method last time around, which nobody but op paid any attention to
You must abstain from ejaculation
>>42310118>and observe thoughts disolvingthis doesnt make any sensethoughts are distractions while in meditationthey eat up energythe only proper thing to do when one catches himself thinking in meditation is to return to the meditationany other way just gives some measure of subtle reinforcement to the thinking habit energynon commutable operations mean there's no pure phase cancellation
>>42313708why what's wrong>>42313710I wasn't the guy you was talking to, but here I will post ituse heat source for thishold palm up to the heat sourcethen dig a fingernail into the laogung point, remember this feelinguse that feeling along with the inhalation and intent to press the heat into the laogungrelax the exhalekeep the intention at the laogung point throughout all of this beginning phaseeventually you will feel the laogung sort of burst open and hot liquid feeling will emerge from it and begin traveling up your handit reminded me of being a kid and getting Chewels gum and you bite into it and the liquid escapeskeep the intention pressing at the laogung during inhales until that liquid tendril of heat reaches the pericardium 7 point, past there, draw the heat-tendril only as far as you can tangibly feel it, and hold/relax it during the exhaleonce you are able to draw this heat-tendril to the sea point in the elbow, the chi goes deep and then reacts out the mu/shu points for the pericardium, and the heat is distributed along the UB channel, washing you over with warmthyou can warm yourself up with this, even to the point of overheating and making yourself sweatwith the laogung and yin arm channels open, one may more efficiently express chi out of the hands
>>42310133>when you can get the sensations past your shouldersdoesnt even make sense cuz the chi goes to the sea at the elbow & knee
>>42310859do reiki people even realize they are calling in favors from random spirits to do healingdo the they those are all free, on top of it?do you own work, folks
>>42313720elaborate pls
>>42313722yes anyone who does an ounce of research will understand that, its up to you if you want to engage in it
>>42313726for most of the beginning and adept stages, one will not really be able to detect & decipher yin, its yang you are feelingthis is a reason why its very important to feel and not imagine when doing these things>The point at which the qi emanates is known as the jing-well.>The point at which the qi glides is known as the ying-spring.>The point at which the qi pours through is known as the shu-stream.>The point at which the qi flows is known as the jing-river and the point at which the qi enters inwards is known as the he-sea.>Thus the flow of qi in the twenty-seven channels reaches each of the five shu-points>Spiritual Pivot Chapter 71>The jing-well points, for example, are situated on the tips of the fingers or toes (with the exception of Yongquan KD-1 which is located on the sole of the foot) where there is little flesh. The qi here is shallow and narrow, yet dynamic. The volatility of the qi at these points is emphasised by the fact that in the theory of the circulation of the twelve channels, it is at the extremities (jing-well points) that the qi changes direction and where yin and yang channels transform into each other. By contrast, the qi of the he-sea points, situated close to the large joints of the elbow and knee, runs deep and broad like an estuary flowing into the sea, preparing for its entry into the deepest levels of the body.
>>42313803>Spiritual Pivot Chapter 71What book is this from?
