There's some gray area there. Its not automatically safe to practice fire path. What have you read and learned so far?lilman wrote:as long as I can feel chi its safe to practice circulation
Moving qigong and jin shouldnt be logically lumped into one bucket here. You shouldnt do anything to excess, but it is up to each one of us to know ourselves well enough to know where those boundaries are. 100% is the point at which something breaks - BK Frantzis had a good suggestion in Opening the Energy Gates in doing things to 70% of your capacity to avoid injuries. Just keep in mind that different boldily systems will reach 100% capacity at different times. I like Chia's opening direction on building sensitivity, it will help you in your practice. Even something extremely basic like the inner smile will help build physical sensitivity - start building good physical sensitivity and energtic sensitivity will naturally follow!and its safe to practice moving qigong and jin just not in access and should be followed by qigong closing exercises to build back up qi reserves?...
lilman wrote:I have been studying Tai Chi Chuan and Qigong by myself for about 4 years learning from books (mostly Dr. Yang's) and about 4 months with a teacher, and am no where near my current potential with chi development. Mostly because of my confusion with how to do some of the qigong. The questions I have relate to wuchi and chi in general. Hopefully someone can help me out cuz my teacher will not answer these questions for me.
1. When practicing wuchi, Dr. Yangs books ussually suggest using either Daoist or Buddhist breathing techniques with coordination from the hui yin, I met a Daoist practitioner that told me when you practice wuchi you sit and do nothing, no breathing techniques, just breathe naturally. No coordination of your huiyin is necessary. Whats the correct method, if there is any?
2. And when practicing wuchi, if you feel rocking sensations from your dantian out to the rest of your body, and a slight warmth in your dantian, but not the boiling heat most books suggest, does that mean your close to the goal and almost ready for small circulation?
3. If your practice wuchi to build up chi, if you practice moving qigong or jin training before you have a full reserve and start circulating small circulation, are you waisting your time with wuchi? Can they really help each other if jin passes chi out of your body as well as with some qigong exercises? The reason I ask is some books say after qigong wait 20 to 30 minutes before going to the bathroom, or eating so chi can enter small circulation...
4. And just cuz Im curious if anyone knows, when practicing spiritual daoist qigong, is it dangerous to have OBEs (out of body experiences) before you cultivate the spiritual embryo?
It would be greatly appreciated if anyone could help me with these questions.
Bioelectromagnetism (sometimes equated with bioelectricity) refers to the electrical, magnetic or electromagnetic fields produced by living cells, tissues or organisms. Examples include the cell potential of cell membranes and the electric currents that flow in nerves and muscles, as a result of action potentials...
Bioelectromagnetism involves the interaction of ions. Bioelectromagnetism is sometimes difficult to understand because of the differing types of bioelectricity, such as brainwaves, myoelectricity (e.g., heart-muscle phenomena), and other related subdivisions of the same general bioelectromagnetic phenomena. One such phenomenon is a brainwave, which neurophysiology studies, where bioelectromagnetic fluctuations of voltage between parts of the cerebral cortex are detectable with an electroencephalograph. This is primarily studied in the brain by way of the electroencephalogram or "EEG."
