>>43010875these "prayers" are insufferable...
>>43012349>wanting good things for people is insufferableyou're not cut out for this thread, go whine and complain somewhere else
>>43010967>breathing through the nose onlyFor foundational practices its the majority>unbroken breath cycleMajority>breathing silentlyMajority
>>43012922>box breathing etc isn't commonNone of your claims are accurate
>>43013038Within cultivational practices such as qigong/tantric meditation smooth long breathing from the nose is foundational for these practices, while box breathing isnt considered foundational, please stop talking about stuff you are not educated on.
>>43013038>box breathing etc isn't commonit helps if you dont make up things to reply to
>>43013111It's not my fault you can't follow the chain of posts>>43010967>>unbroken breath cycle is the same as specific holds. Which was met with the usual pointless dunning kruger dogma.
>>43012914the "prayer" is insufferable on a visceral level, not what it represents. ChatGPT AI slop has more soul than that mindless repetition which makes my mind screech in torment
>>43013202yes, wishing people to be will is so FUCKING insufferable!!!Punch that Buddhist, hell yea show him what's up!
>>43013097>such as qigongWithin the greater context of qigong buddhist systems usually breath out through the mouth while taoist systems say the mouth is only for eating. This is considered "foundational" material under both paradigms
>>43013209the "prayer" is insufferable on a visceral level, not what it represents. It makes my blood boil and my skin crawl. There are endless of these utter garbage "prayers". may all of those "prayers" spend 90 quadrillion aeons in naraka

>>43012349Then express yourself instead in your prayers. Some wish selfishness and harm on this world, ALL live lifetimes as evil deities. Harness that against the Jews and aliens, mortgage yourself into PSYCHIC AND SPIRITUAL DOMINANCE n by connecting your very body even, as well as mind and spirit, to other lifetimes of yours and people you have and will meet. For high spiritual pay too.
>>43017378this is just some hypothesizing from people who didnt make accomplishments, but read about some old esoteric stuff and interpreted itthey dont even distinguish between initiated thought and random, spontaneous thoughtits a key distinction that undercuts his argumentthere is an energetic basis for random thoughts to arisethe generation of a random thought is itself an internal energy balancing mechanismanimals without a ruminating mind, you see them wagging their tails as their balancing mechanismthe root of this lies in the neural activity of sense processingI've described this many times herewhen the awareness is well harnessed, most of the energy of the moment is well utilizedwhen the awareness is poorly harnessed, much of the energy more or less stagnates and builds upthis takes place at the seat of awareness in the midbrainwhen the stagnated energy builds up to a sufficient level, it then is able to jump into the cerebrum and a random thought is the resultthis is why most people cant keep their minds still, because they have no other trained outletwith proper meditative training, one learns to focus the awareness, using up more of this energythere is a constant interplay of conscious & subconscious process, the more inefficient, the more energy remainder is left overas the subconscious is refined and executes breathing and sense type stuff in a more efficient manner, the energy remainder doesnt build as fasteventually one is able to get to a stage where keeping the awareness stays ahead of the building of the energy remainder, resulting in a calm, clear, random thought free mindthere's only one way I know this is all true, because I have accomplished it many times overand the many times over part means this is a matter of conditioning, fall out of practice and the inefficiencies return, the mind chatter returnsits just the way it is
Thoughts on the Yellow Emperor Classic?
>>43017733its a difficult book to understand wellone would have to read it a hundred times before being able to understand it remotely wellbut its full of very interesting insightsalthough I dont think we've encountered coomers here who overdid it so bad that it resulted in the relative inability to digest foods properly
>>43017614it's crazy but that's the way it goesyou fall and rise to fall and riseyour juice does not only sufficebut overflows and overflows
>>43017924>I dont think we've encountered coomers here who overdid it so bad that it resulted in the relative inability to digest foods properlyHoly shit thatβs me. Does gooning really make digestion that bad????
>>43018367Yes>>43017924It takes me a bunch of times to understand anything properly anyway. This first pass has already started interestingly. I am falling in love with ancient Chinese stuff, I'm an involuntary chinkaboo. So much gold.>Doubting the extent of self-injury achieved by coomers hereYou don't think so?
>>43018367it means that eventually you beat up your jing so bad that your body starts sacrificing resources for your internal organs to keep making sex fluidsfirst to get hit are things like hair, sinewsits also why that brazilian kid that beat off like 26 times in a day died of a heart attack
>>43018624>You don't think so?I know they're out there but perhaps I havent really delved too much in their stories, wherever it is they wind up arisingits usually not really in a cultivation contextbut if you get to the stage of cultivation where you are working deeply with the jingand that's a difficult stage to describe getting to, I took other paths but have some interesting friendsbut screwing things up in that way basically becomes much more harmful as the stages progress deeperanyone who's beat themselves up in this way should not ever do neidan and seek other paths for this lifetime
>>43018697>>43018624>but screwing things up in that way basically becomes much more harmful as the stages progress deeper>anyone who's beat themselves up in this way should not ever do neidanScrewing things up how, exactly? Or how badly, exactly? What exactly do you mean that it becomes much more harmful as the stages progress?>Deeply working with the jingCould you attempt to describe what you mean by this stage?Thank you
>although I dont think we've encountered coomers here who overdid it so bad that it resulted in the relative inability to digest foods properlyThat is, floating or pale stool, bloating after meal, hair is lost and not regrowing, body is decaying despite nutrition? Does this also refer to being in the grips of coomerdom, or even to a post-coomer who has calmed such issues and been able to recover and heal?>but if you get to the stage of cultivation where you are working deeply with the jing>and that's a difficult stage to describe getting to, I took other paths but have some interesting friendsJing to qi stages of inner phenomena, dramatic-like? (Not that I have experienced these)>but screwing things up in that way basically becomes much more harmful as the stages progress deeperDoes this refer to practicing with a leaky vessel? Cannot tcm help repair such leaks? Or is there an extent of damage you are referring to that is beyond even the repair methods of tcm? >anyone who's beat themselves up in this way should not ever do neidan and seek other paths for this lifetimeIf one has beat themselves up, how would one know they have not beaten themselves up beyond hope of neidan pursuit?
>>43009865I can't believe no one appreciated your setup and punchline. these cultivators are dull.
>>43021167>these cultivators are dull.I'm sorry anon:(
Serious question: At this point most people aware of sexual energies know that ejaculating depletes it, and also know that women "glow" after receiving cum from their men. What happens energetically/spiritually if you eat your own cum? Not interested in any morality shit or how "gross" that is, just what actually happens, as it is still absorbed into your being, albeit its no longer in your balls. There HAS to be difference on some level between just cumming on a sock and eating your nut. Is there any ancient texts talking about this?
Suffer whatever, learn to scream, suffering is now your bottomless pool potential, be safe/make better.
Demons be gone, my heart mind gently beholds the light, may you find peace
I am already doing mindfulness meditation, solitude, pranayama and semen retention. Eating plain as well.In a few words, what else should I be doing?
>>43021395You shit out poop, plants love it and get more healthier when they have it.If you have your own poop and you get sick.There is a place for everything but not everything is its place.Thats your answerer
>>43021444>Eating plain as wellWdym by plain>In a few words, what else should I be doing?Keep going
>>43021450thanks Vaguepost king
>>43021476This isn't a vaguepost, you are retarded >Don't eat your cum, it being in your mouth isn't one of its purposes
>Yet it is said: Those who have the true wisdom remain strong while those who have no knowledge and wisdom grow old and feeble. Therefore the people should share this wisdom and their names willbecome famous. Those who are wise inquire and search together, while those who are ignorant and stupid inquire and search apart from each other. Those who are stupid and ignorant do not exertthemselves enough in the search for the Right Way, while those who are wise search beyond the natural limits.>Those who search beyond the natural limits will retain good hearing and clear vision, their bodies will remain light and strong, and although they grow old in years they will remain able-bodied and flourishing; and those who are able-bodied can govern to great advantage.Thanks to anons who inquire and search together beyond the natural limits. :)
>>43021503>Not interested in any morality shit or how "gross" that is Still no answer. Nice reading comprehension, nigger.
>in the year of our Lord 2026 the henchmen of the powers that be are reduced to attempting to divert divine discourse on anime forums by posting for shekels about cumsocks
>>43021541Anon you are just too arrogant and foolish.>Not interested in any morality shit or how "gross" that isnever once did I mention the reason why you shouldn't eat your own cum is because its gross or because of some social norm.Its was out of prepose. If something is used outside of its prepose all which comes of it is at the least inefficiency and at most harmful.There is no prepose for your cum to be in your own mouth, it serves no benefit and will only make you sick, its really that simple.It would be wise not to respond to this and take it with humility
>>43021549purpose* typo
>>43021549>It would be wise not to respond to this and take it with humilitySo sorry, o wise learned master. My question is WHAT HAPPENS on energetic level if that is done. I get it, cum is not supposed to be used that way.
>>43021548>reeee stop talking about a specific related topic in a general about energy cultivation!! you are a glowie!
>>43021395>"invest" a dollar>receive 3 cents in returnits just highly, highly inefficient to the point that whatever "benefits" there may be are absolutely negated and then some by the upfront cost vs any benefit in return
>>43021636I already answered that question; don't ask me another question related to this subject, I will not engage with you anymore>>43021652He probably assumed that due to the absurdity of the question; the reason why this may be a concern would be because anyone new looking into this general will see stuff like this and associate this practice with such a foolish thing, hence discrediting it and resulting in less people taking part of this profaned practice.
>>43021700You didnt answer anything, you gave a poor analogue about the human waste product (shit) when asking about the literal opposite, the most cost intensive fluid a male human produces.I dont care about your replies, you seem arrogant and larp as some enlightened master on a mongolian basked weaving forum.
>>43021728Anon, ATP if you want to drink your own cum, by all means, go ahead, please, no one is stopping you.
Anyways, I was putting two halves of a walnut together and it occurred to me that maybe the internal organs meaningfully correspond to regions of the brain. Like the gut brain if viewed from the head is like the head brain if viewed from the gut. Got tingly feels when imagining such symmetry connected by a spinal column and a heart/solar plexus. Is it true that the heart is the first electrical signal in embryonic morphogensiss? I'm a dummy on this stuff, so a lot of this is probably wrong, but wowza, creation is poetic af. Like what even are we lol
Maybe GΓΆdel was right that there's a centuries-old conspiracy to prevent man from becoming more intelligent. What happens if *the raising of awareness itself* goes viral? Oh my!

>>43020936>Screwing things up how, exactly?by not following the narrow path>What exactly do you mean that it becomes much more harmful as the stages progress?imagine a bunch of mountain peaks that are linked by bridges and the peaks get progressively higheryou wind up with way farther to fall the higher you go up>Could you attempt to describe what you mean by this stage?an important point about chi is that its patterned energychi springs forth from the jingdeeper stages of progress affect the body on very deep levels, change certain DNA configtransmutations take placeI'm sure some have heard of the mercury ingestion thingits fatal unless one has achieved a level whereby it can be transmuted into something not fatalbottom line, when deep and profound changes are initiated, going back the other way is harmfulas one of my teachers said,what do you do if you run two trains down the same track at each other?call up your sister, cuz she's never seen a trainwreck before
>>43021160>That is, floating or pale stool, bloating after meal, hair is lost and not regrowing, body is decaying despite nutrition?beyond that, outright vomitingmany things are seemingly casually mentioned in the yellow emperor's classic>able to recover and heal?the body has fantastic ability to recover and heal, but one should most definitely not take this as meaning there isnt a point of no return>Cannot tcm help repair such leaks?if you've got a good practitioner you're seeingits a grab bag out there just like with western medicinemany are unable to troubleshoot their way out of a paper bag unless someone's done it before and they have a set of instruction to follow>If one has beat themselves up, how would one know they have not beaten themselves up beyond hope of neidan pursuit?this is best ascertained by a potential neidan teacherconsider some of the old vids of Jiang doing those tests on dudes, i.e. pushing chi into their arms or legs to test the openness of the channels, this one guy had one side of his body ok but the other was pretty blocked, he underwent a very expensive series of herbs and such, Jiang did a procedure on him and cupped a mass of shit straight out of his skin, after full recovery the student got the same test on him and both arms reacted properly to the chi ran through thembut if stuff like that doesnt work, they are told sorry you must leave, if you continue this will kill you
>>43021444sounds like you're a little lacking on the yang sidedont neglect the body, exercise it, yoga it, taichi chigung whatever just make sure youre doing something
>>43021636>My question is WHAT HAPPENS on energetic level if that is doneyou waste a bunch of energy and physical resources for pretty much nothing in return
>The Emperor said: "I should like to be informed on the essential doctrines (of healing).">Ch'i Po answered: "The most important requirement of the art of healing is that no mistakes or neglect occur. There should be no doubt or confusion as to the application of the meaning of complexion and pulse. These are the maxims of the art of healing. When those who rebelled against the laws of nature obtained power, the medicines prepared from the topmost branches and roots were no longer given, the divine spirit perished and the country deteriorated. But as soon as the rebels were removed all good practices were revived by the succeeding Spiritual Men who had attained Tao, the right way of life.">The Emperor said: "I understand the importance and the need for teachers, teachers who can proclaim the theory that one cannot separate the complexion from the pulseβthe doctrine which I consider pure wisdom.">Ch'i Po answered: "The utmost in the art of healing can be achieved when there is unity.">The Emperor inquired: "What is meant by unity?">Ch'i Po answered: "When the minds of the people are closed and wisdom is locked out they remain tied to disease. Yet their feelings and desires should be investigated and made known, their wishes and ideas should be followed; and then it becomes apparent that those who have attained spirit and energy are flourishing and prosperous, while those perish who lose their spirit and energy.">The Emperor exclaimed: "Excellent, indeed!"

How does one cultivate negative energy?
>>43032468Maoshan necromancy
>>43021960>domesticated means more intelligentsure thing fat lady
this week has been super energetic for me, i think we had full moon for like 5 days straight and i was constantly getting visions of a certain person important to me.
>>43032468you're using the wrong wordyou cultivate yin with superlative stillness
>>43009469Adding a pepe is a great way to tell everyone it's a worthless shitpost, thanks.
>>43033483How is stillness going to make me more evil, villainous and wrathful?
>>43033539without doing the mind work, just working on jing will tend to simply amplify what's already therewanting to be evil is just dumb, you dont need cultivation to do that
>>43033579I see, thank you.
Cnergy Eultivation
>>43009452Literally none of this is real this is all super advance coping mechanisms to ignore reality please stop this already
>>43010875Btw this is a form of energy cultivation. Lady who did this survived TWO lethal injection doses and now the government has no clue what to do with her.
>>43033825If you ever wonder why people hate loving kindness so much btw, this is part of why. Western society HATES this stuff because it makes you impossible to govern. It can prolong your life (why the hell do you think so many of the Buddhists live to 90+ years, even when some have horrible diets or diseases?) it can make you beautiful if you perfect it. It can make you physically strong, it brings about joys in your life. It protects against dangers. The more you perfect it, the stronger you become. The less enemies you have, the more your energy and the universe around you will swoop in to give you everything you need. Various military regimes will try to stop the practitioners from cultivating this if they're on death row, because if they're too good at it they just can't kill them effectively. If they wind up doing it because the practitioner wasn't cultivating it enough, then it causes a "blow-back" effect energetically on the attempted murderers. It's an amazing practice. I saw other universes doing it once. If I were a better person I'd be more motivated to actually perfect it.
>>43033854Final note on that, keep an eye on Tennessee. They're gonna have some issues soon, I'm sure of it.
>>43032468>>43033539I know this is some xiantia wet dream you're having but for the sake of who knows what i'll bite the hook and maybe someone will benefit.Greater Yin is the pure, pre-natal form of vital essence which surrounds and regulates the heart fire(emotional energy - Li - lesser yang)It is the opposite of Greater(pure) Yang which is innate intelligence or intuition in the navel, however they are related as the main ingredients of spiritual(non-dual) energy and the pre-natal components of Spirit. Yin is important in regulating(cooling down) emotional states, so if there as a disproportionate amount of Yin around the heart it will suppress emotions to the point where one can exhibit psychopathic and sociopathic traits and behavior. The opposite is true of having having too much fire, where one becomes more emotional.In general jing(vital essence or lesser yin) is the energy of Will, from this you get greater Yang which is the spiritual energy of innate intelligence and disposition/nature.Li as lesser yang is the energy of emotions and desires, from then greater Yin is the spiritual energy of the soul and it's vitality.That is why in alchemy the state of Yin descending and Yang ascending produces a spiritual seed on the level of a second Self embodying both innate wisdom and eternal life.Cultivating them separately one becomes either a coomer/sex fiend or an emotionless psychopath in the making.
>>43033726Yes yes, anyways have you considered meditating
>>43034238But is "emotionless psychopathy" really "energetically negative" and "wrathful"? It sounds more like apathy, from what I understand. So, how does one cultivate Yin, and will I become wrathful in doing so? I was advised earlier to express selfishness and harm on malevolent creatures, or embody one myself. I am not sure what the advice exactly meant, but something along those lines. Hence why I'm asking.
>>43034476>So, how does one cultivate Yin, and will I become wrathful in doing so?you'd be better off just going and playing vidya games
>>43034605I see, thank you.
>>43034476> It sounds more like apathy, from what I understand.not wrong>So, how does one cultivate Yin,i honestly don't know, in females i know they do it naturally through stopping their menstruation cycle, in males you might have to get castrated lol
>>43034725>in females i know they do it naturally through stopping their menstruation cycleslaying the red dragon aint really quite "natural">in males you might have to get castrated/facepalmbesides, I already told yas how you cultivate yin, stillness
>>43034725Alright so youre just a faggot then
>>43034786>besides, I already told yas how you cultivate yin, stillnessi was trolling a little bit, but stillness and firing yin is technically still cultivating yang or rather they are still cultivated together and balancedpretty sure the only thing that naturally draws and condenses pure Yin is the maiden but that's also not cultivating Yin separately,so as mentioned it's a xiantia "concept" maybe except for actual females

>>43026816GΓΆdel's private philosophy insights are pure alpha. This Secret History series on YouTube by Gary Geck (rip, he abandoned us) has kept me entertained for a decade: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGKmrJ4hXc0At 21min:>"One can directly see mathematical objects. The same possibilities of thought are open to everyone, so we can take the world of possible forms as objective and absolute. Possibility is observer independent, and therefore real, because it is not subject to our will..."Video 28 in the series above is an extremely well animated narration of his draft lecture titled on the philosophical development of the foundations of mathematics in light of philosophy, in which he explicitly mentions exactly what he sees is one of the inherent limitations of mechanical 'reasoning': the deepening of understanding of the abstract meaning of concepts themselves, from which understanding spring ever more axioms...(He has so much more on this topic of mind vs machine and absolutely mogs turing here, but the mechanist materialist onanist zeitgeist is unrelenting because the military heroin shekels must flow and corpses must rot God forbid we fucking move forward). There's even a draft letter to "Tillich" (Paul?) in which he alludes to the validity of religious implications of some of his work. Same letter in which he asserts that one of the constituent parts of reason, which is of its essence, is its self-knowledge. Self-knowledge of reason. ΞΏΟ ΟΞ―Ξ±As well as some banger quotes from a couple books on his thought I've been going through. I can continue if interested.>>43027381Thank ya.
>>43035404A spiritual body of light that will contain your consciousness after death, so you can escape the cycle of reincarnation and ascend higher astral realms of consciousness or Heavens if you will. It comes with the perks of being integrated with matrix of all reality and creation underlying everything, including Heaven, that would be Dao and also Christ(not the dude).In essence you'd be eternal and to a large extent, omnipotent at some point, the real doozie is this point probably cannot be reached by only cultivating Dao within the physical realm, but it seems to be an essential step, otherwise you wouldn't incarnate over and over again as a physical being until you achieve something along these lines. The essential part may be that humans are a product of the separation of Spirit, the unity of Yin and Yang in one body, and cultivation being bringing those two energies back together in all their forms within body and consciousness. Here you can argue that there are beings like Angels and Devils that are at the far extremes of this polarity as either beings of pure light or darkness respectively, but that also means they lack something that we don't.Anyway, once you're on the way you'll start to realize this isn't your first rodeo, you will wonder if something or someone is pushing you along and helping you, or something is trying to torture you in excruciating pain for some reason....It's all you, it's always been and always will be. Hence wuwei, the flow state or non-doing that represents xiantian path of cultivating Spirit... It's Spirit cultivating itself.
>>43035058>stillness and firing yin is technically still cultivating yangonly insofar as yang easily rises to match the level of yin cultivatedyou're too fixated on females
>>43035630>the real doozie is this point probably cannot be reached by only cultivating Dao within the physical realmper my studies and experience, this can only be done to its full extent within the physical realm, for it is the merger of the physical and spirit that does itsimply cultivating to a level where there's a spirit vehicle proper isnt necessarily a full achievement, but it is certainly an achievement
>>43009780
>>43036236That might indeed be so, but my ideas revolve around "shedding the husk" by converting all Yin of the physical body into spiritual energy, as confirmed by accounts of the Rainbow body. The question that arises there is if that is the point of ascension or can you simply rebuild a new body and continue to cultivate or ascend and then continue to cultivate. Is merging with Dao the end of cultivation or the start?Does it even have a beginning or and end, do eternity and infinity differentiate?Is immortality the realization that time is not linear?shit like that
>>43037633I think gravity is to the physical plane as love is to a higher one. Love transcends time and space. Like the physical is the outer layer which births the forms intended by a realm of infinite depth underneath and all around it. Free fall. It'll make sense and self-accelerate in the proper direction as the way is followed. Methinks

Hey what's up anons.I have a real heck of a question to ask today, and it's one I've asked before, but it's not one that I've really gotten a great answer on how to actually deal with.This used to not be the case, but now whenever I haven't jacked off for like a week I feel great discomfort as my energy builds in the lower region. Initially this traps itself in my stomach, not a big deal we just meditate and we move around, do some Yoga poses and that helps. Temporarily. The longer I get into this, the more spiritual experiences I encounter, but also the greater the risk of this discomfort becoming too much. I'll start to see semen coming out whenever I go to urinate by the 2nd week, which I'm pretty sure isn't normal. The longest I ever went was 5 months or so, maybe half a year, and now I can't go two weeks without this happening. On top of that, and what I think is causing some of this, is my nervous system gets fried. I start to get stressed and overwhelmed. In this state I have the feeling that I have to beat off and just get it over with, but I regret it right afterwards.I've been meditating for atleast 30m every day now, not only just on the breath or anything, but on multiple different exercises. Meditation definitely helps, but the next day it starts all over again with a strong sense of anxiety, struggling to get around to meditating, and potentially failing to withstand the pressure.A lot of the pain tends to build up in the stomach early on, but later on it is in the pelvic region around where my pants etc are, but my clothes aren't super tight or anything. I can't avoid anything super tight because it worsens this issue. Eventually it is impossible to avoid anyways.TL;DR how do I deal with whatever the hell this is because an hour or more a day on meditation / poses + exercise is not enough to provide consistent aid.

>>43040377Nah, nothing like that but my subconscious or something like that speaks to me at times to help me. At night I see eyes looking at me. Two nights ago it was a really vivid blue and yellow eye looking all around. I don't normally visualize so clearly even when I'm dreaming so it stood out.I have had the vibes that something was fucking with me at times. I've asked prayed for protection from multiple deities etc. and it doesn't keep this feeling away.I can't afford to do LBR because I live in a heavily christian household and they would disown me if they knew I meditate to begin with.No idea what the rest of what you're saying is about.I am on adderall, but I still get hard.>Do you express your built up energy somehowI exercise, go on walks and when I'm in the mood I tend to make art.>Staying at homeI'm basically a neet in modern society.

It's as the olfactory dude says: You have to train your breathing to become deep and slow and then cultivate this stillness otherwise you won't be able to do ANYTHING else.It's funny that all those meditation and energy "gurus" talk all the time about "just watch the breath and ignore thoughts when they come lol" and they say "don't control the breath and don't care much about the body" and I used to believe them for years but after 3 whole months of training daily while keeping a straight spine and training my breathing to become deep (I literally inhale with my pelvic floor now) I have made more progress than ever.

>>43045274because its a poison and poison bad, methinks
>>43046805Fell for the same meme.Also a real teacher would have you do standing practice/meditation until you can sleep standing, before teaching you seated posture.Its pretty pointless to practice seated because if the joints and meridians in the legs and pelvis are closed there's not enough circulation to keep full lotus for more than a few minutes, the standard being 2-4 hours at minimum.
>>43048155>Its pretty pointless to practice seated because if the joints and meridians in the legs and pelvis are closed there's not enough circulation to keep full lotus for more than a few minutes, the standard being 2-4 hours at minimum.this reads like a fundamentalist take from hundreds of years ago, with all the requisite poor insultwriting of todaydont do sitting practice until you can sit in lotus for 2-4 hours?you're putting the cart before the horse in that sentencewhile I recommend practitioners do the requisite work to achieve full lotus - especially if young and healthy - full lotus is not a hard and fast requirement to make progress, and if the practitioner is starting old enough, just being able to sit comfortably for durations is sufficient also consider that the majority of practitioners are not going to be doing the neidan track where being able to sit unmoving for 4 hours becomes the baseline standard for stepping in that doorthat's just not the case for most other paths, and the context of my writing is still perfectly valid - standing practice isnt that difficult to teach and to really get it, its best done in person anyway, while internal breathing mechanics isnt going to be conveyed any more thoroughly in person than it is here with well typed instructionsthere's nothing to see, unlike postural alignments that can be subtle and a little difficult for beginners to self identifyI made samahdi manifest well before I was able to sit in full lotus, so 100% not pointless at allI tell people that it is important to cultivate the body and keep it fit and healthy for best progress to be madeso I dont know where you're getting this high and mighty feel from to the point where you're calling my writings memes, other than to be a dick and show that you've not conquered yourself to begin with
>>43048435>It's funny that all those meditation and energy "gurus" talk all the time about "just watch the breath and ignore thoughts when they come lol" and they say "don't control the breath and don't care much about the body" The memes in questions. Not having awareness of the body, not building up the fascia layer through yijin jing, not clearing the joints and channels in the legs despite more than half the body's energetic potential being stored there, etc.In standing meditation, gravity is applying the weight of the body on the leg vessels and refining posture to account for the increased energy flow, this is a long process that happens largely on its own under internal movement and doesnt require much attention, so the majority of awareness falls on the pelvis and ldt, which would eventually form naturally in standing practice.In lotus the pressure exerted on the legs is again what forces the qi to rise to the upper body and be redistributed in the vessels there, although the goals are more neidan related.Pressure and flow regulation is always the basics one needs to understand rather intuitively in order to navigate higher energetic states like samadhi, and to successfully replicate them in daily practice or even daily life.No offense to you, as i've often posted alongside you in similar threads over the years and often supported and even benefitted from your views and practices.Never meant to come off as an elitist, although I wish most of these discussions went further than surface level "Top 10 tips to cultivate qi bro"
>>43048882I understand that the context of this thread is ECG, but aside from here or there where I'll delve into other areas, I'm mostly just speaking of breathwork stuff that leads one to the place where he can cultivate the awareness, condition properly so that the body & mind can sustain samahdiyou have no basis to call my posts memes or say that omissions on other areas become memes, its just unnecessarily insultingthat said the things you add are indeed valuablea more constructive framing would be beneficial

how do i use this stuff to unclog my nose
>>43062047the key to this is not letting things build up to the point where it gets cloggedI can give you a method for it, but if you start raising the energies that generate this side effect, then you must also learn stillness to balance the energye.g., learn breathwork and put enough time in to achieve good stillnessthe method itself, consider the 3 dantiens in taoismlower, 2 in below the belly buttonmiddle, at the solar plexus (the heart is later, but that's another part of the story)and the upper is at the midbrainby gaining some charge down in the lower two, they can be utilized to activate the uppera side effect of this is similar to the 'slow fire' effect in taoist yogasaliva, snivel, tears are emitted, this is expelling precursors of blockage and sicknesspalms facing each other in front of the lower two, one at the lower, one at the middleinclude this all in the waxwane of the breathand eventually you should feel something in between the palmsalign the laogung and rotate the hands about their axisit becomes similar to the old school manual lemon juicer in a waywhen these two activate and the energy brims over, the upper is energizedcombine that with a steamy shower every evening, and the shit wont build up to the point where your nose gets clogged
>>43062047Keep your tongue pressed on the upper hard palate at all times. Clogging in the nose can be a symptom that ren mai in front is partially blocked or disconnected from du mai via the tongue.You can clear nasal cavity it by tilting the head slightly backwards to align the opening between the eyebrows with your esophagus and let all the gunk drain out, it can be quite unpleasant the first few times but over time the secretions become more watery and sweet. This is clearing the "heavenly pool" which allows for cutivating the "Jade elixir" which is basically sweet and fragrant saliva along with pituitary secretions.Once you get the proper flow you can cultivate Chen Tuan's sleeping gong, which is basically jade elixit practice while laying/sleeping and its a cure for sleep apnea and clogged nose.>>43062225This is valuable info
>>43049652weak shit, do a mabu
>>43040350>take memes seriously>wreck your body with too much yangmany such cases! if only there was a way to vent the yang without giving up any jing, if only some school of cultivation had a tradition with techniques like these for those who seek it.old circumcised men will easily go celibate and tell you to do the same, no loss for them, but reach for their wine pitcher and they will howl like a monkey >>43043755
>>43063853one needs to learn to stand properly before doing 45 degree, which comes before 90skipping the fundamentals in the beginning doesnt help you become advanced
>>43046805>I literally inhale with my pelvic floor How does that work? Like do you actually contract your pelvic floor muscles or do you just imagine your whole body contributing to your breath?
How do you check results of your energy work? In other words, how do you know that what you've been doing has contributed to anything at all in that regard?
>>43064186If tour inhale/exhale are deep enough you'll be able to feel your navel pulling on your perineum(huiyin).The movement of the abdomen regulates yin&yang of the breathing cycle, the air going in/out matters much less than the actual flow of qi.Also look up "bottled breath".>>43064218When you cleave open the dan tian the movements in the gut are so strong you literally shit your brains out for about half a day and things down there become much more clear and sensitive.Certain auxiliary channels also contract, expand, merge along the way, with sensations wventually exceeding the physical body.Then there are multiple stages to opening the energy channels, where again sensitivity increases and you become much more connected to your subtle body and in turn every type of energy, mostly lunar energy in the beginning, later on the stars and constellations.Du mai and ren mai open in multiple stages, requiring mostly certain types of enlightenment, rather than effort.Shit like that, just keep it up and shit starts happening.
>>43064300>When you cleave open the dan tianNTA but how do you do that
I remember reading here that one shouldn't masturbate if they wish to recover from an illness due to their jing depleting as it will only make it worse.They was 100% right; I only had a sore throat, but after jacking off i go extremely ill, extremely quick. Looking back at it, whenever I masturbated while being ill, the duration of my sickness increases after doing it. Comming is literally killing me.I need to start to take this cultivation stuff seriously and stop lurking
>>43064367>If your inhale/exhale are deep enough you'll be able to feel your navel pulling on your perineum(huiyin).The movement of the abdomen regulates yin&yang of the breathing cycle, the air going in/out matters much less than the actual flow of qi.Also look up "bottled breath".Just this, locate qihai(2 fingers below the navel) and mingmen(opposite the navel)The dan tian forms in the area between these two points and huiyin, they play a role in its function and activation.You need to gently regulate the movwment of the lower abdomen to where it expands all the way in front on inhale and pretty much sticks along the spine on exhale, in the process huiyin will open and close on its own, you'll feel a bit of tugging on your balls.You dont need to concetrate your mind very hard, rather than focusing your intent there, gently "listen" to that general area.As qihai is often called the "false dan tian" i find it helpful if you keep your mind on the inside of the spine, above the sacrum. Practice this between 11pm-1am(winter time) or just around midnight when yin rises and you can form a field within a week or two at most.Cleaving open the ldt is a bit different as it is related to having a 'seed' of pure yang planted in the field.This again will happen quite naturally as long as you keep on "listening" to that area for a while.Once it happens you dont need to do anything either, it does it on its own. Well i guess once you have an actual "embryo" you should try not to spill your seed then, celibacy is not required before this, but somewhat important after.
>>43064186I'm the anon you quoted: What I mean by that is that with each inhale I feel the pelvic floor inhale downwards and with the exhale it raises upwards.
>>43065361That is huiyin(mortal gate) opening and closing. That is also how it should be done, no amount of effort should be exerted on actually flexing the perineum muscles, they should be relaxed.
>>43065373That's what I'm doing yes, it came to me naturally.
