I wanna know of breathwork.
>>42345273>Other community'sDont send people to that communist shithole, everyone of value has long since left the place and you are left with the most milque toast of faggots making sure you respect the most retarded of all posts, because all posts are equal after all. Even the ones full of shit and disinformation.
>>42345273Part of the reason that place went to shit was because of mods taking disciplinary action against good posters rightly calling garbage posts out. Place was good 20 years ago but by the time 2016 came around, the commies that own & run the place decided to start banning anyone that didnt adhere to their political bullshit, on top of the aforementioned. Its amazing the place still even exists except for its gaggle of leftist sympathizers and coattails of former status.I wonder if that's any worse than the breakoff original dao boards, that existed for a year just fine, the owner renewed for another year and then promptly closed the place down with 11 months left on the clock because the fox news viewpoint was not adhered to and this amounted to spreading Russian propaganda. Fucking irony of that!
>>42345273>Other community's:And then there's the owner having become a literal trannyWhich was kind of ironic since some of us joked that he's that brainwashed, it was only a matter of timeJust jokes of course but then we had another good laugh when it came true

>>42345256which one of these methods (qi, kundalini,...) would help me to astral project?
You're never gonna get anywhere with these qi gong meme videos. Also, any practice that involves visualization is nonsense.

>>42351457>Also, any practice that involves visualization is nonsense.this is correct and another result of poor translationsthe gongfu of inner vision is seeing what is there clearly, not imagining things and trying to make them real
>>42352459Does it matter where you practice? Would doing it on the grass in nature be better than doing it in an apartment where there is no direct contact to the earth?
>>42349810the one thing missing from this image is that a key part of this is to learn how to stand straight up, but also have the psoas muscles relaxed completely while doing sowhen the psoas is engaged, a slight bulge from the muscle is evident in the inguinal creasewhen I was taught this, teacher had to put her fingers on this spot to make it more obvious and how to tell when its well relaxed>>42352459
>>42352510doing practice>not doing practicethis is by far more importantif you have the options,grass>apartment
>>42349810the book I linked you lit has a chapter on the wuji stance (standing stance)>>42351457Depends on what you consider to be visualization

>>42352953thanks man, will read it
>>42345256tump
>>42352520>learn how to stand straight up, but also have the psoas muscles relaxed completely while doinghow do i relax the psoas,anon? from my own research on the topic engaging the sacrum also seems to be key but i have no clue how i'm supposed to do it. does your teacher have any tips?>>42352946>the book I linkedwhich link?
>>42355014>how do i relax the psoas,anon?difficult to describe as the psoas is normally an integral part of standingbut let's look at the opposite: the wing chun stance, hips forward, toes inwardthe psoas attaches to the anterior lumbar spine and the lesser trochanter at the top of the straight part of the femurthe feet should be just a bit wide of the shoulders, not much, toes forwardwe learned to straighten the spine before doing thisimagine the vertebrae stacked like a bunch of flat rocksstand close to a wall with the feet 2-3 inches out from the base of the wall, try to flatten your spine against itthe key to relaxing the psoas while standing lies in its lower connection to the femur, you need to relax it thereits difficult to feel the bulge in the inguinal crease yourself, as moving your arms puts you off center and engages the psoasbut when the psoas is engaged, the flexion can be felt therethere's a certain point of balance to achieve so as to be able to fully relax this crucial hip areaherein lies a stark difference between grounding and rootingthis stance is grounding, yin, relaxationrooting is more like the wing chun stance where you have some grip on the ground, psoas engaged and readyso its a lot of relax, relax, adjust, relax, adjust, relax, relaxbut if one can achieve this stance then it brings standing practices to a new level and much longer durations can be achieved comfortably
>>42355014and, obviously, adjusting the knee angle and rotating the hips so as to straighten the junction between the sacrum and lumbar spine, leaving them perpendicular to the groundthis forms the basis for a 45 degree stance, and you cant relax the psoas fully except in that one stance, so this is forming the basis to build more power in the legs and hipswiden the stance just a bit, feet on the outsides of the shouldersknees to a 45 degreekeep the spine straightnow relax and breathespending some time with this then forms the basis to go to the 90 degree stance, you pretty much have to have some arm support usually in the fashion of extending them forwardyou need to build enough power in the hips so that the posture can remain correct, this is important for the 90 degree horse stancedont let the knees go out past the toes (much)keep the lumbosacral junction straight and perpendicularthis one much more quickly becomes a breathing practice than the othersachieving that first 5 continuous minutes in this stance feels like an achievement, but the old stuff says they'd do it for a couple hoursafter doing 45 or 90 stances, follow up with the yin zhang zhuang described in the previous postalways follow up active things with passive, its as important of a part
>>42355342>imagine the vertebrae stacked like a bunch of flat rocksmy gripe with stacking is the spine is naturally curved. especially the lumbar and sacral portions which look like a hairpin turn.>stand close to a wall with the feet 2-3 inches out from the base of the wall, try to flatten your spine against iti just end up "tucking the tailbone" if that expression makes sense to you. is this correct?while i have your attention, do you have any experience with a movement called the swai shou?
>>42357127>spine is naturally curvedsure, but as the body gets out of whack, so does the spinespine straightening stuff is basicbut the real use of this for seated meditation is that it helps the guts move most freelycultivate deeply enough and a particular chi arises in the body that sits you straight as a board on auto without any effort>tucking the tailboneyup>swai shouyeah, its what all the old chinese people do in the parks down in NYC
