Medical and Spiritual Qigong (Chi Kung)

Home › Forum Online Discussion › Practice › knock down fight
Hello,
Was trying to do the inner smile while
doing the healing sounds when my liver
just became hugely angry and began
“kicking” my lungs. Then my insides
turned into a big kid fight with
everyone blaming each other for all
kinds of stuff. Made me nervous
at first but I just let it develop
until we all got exhausted.
Hopefully, this will lead to some
progress…
Thanks for listening
Adel
Hi Adel,
Yeah, that sounds familiar.
I’ve been there myself.
Just be patient with yourself and allow your shen
to feel safe to express themselves. Developing
a strong ground from grounding practices helps
amplify and stabilize this space and makes it work . . .
creates the presence of “neutral counselor trained
in social work” which helps prevent things from
getting out of control. Turns chaos into a stable
space from which you can do therapy. If you know
Fusion, you can start the process of getting everybody
to harmonize, but even if not, just simple listening
creates progress.
The Metal-Wood (Lung-Liver) conflict is a common
and challenging one; they can be an abusive couple.
Enough mutual counseling with Earth as a stable mediator,
and the violence starts to die down and they start
to see that despite their problems that they really
do love each other.
You are the right path.
Keep going.
Love and qi,
Steven
Thanks Steven
Yes I need to work more with
grounding, I’ve been doing
the fundamentals for 1 1/2
years but sort of keep taking
one step forward and three
steps back. The progress is
slow. This summer I am
fortunate enough to be able
to attend the fund 1-4 retreat
and am looking forward to being
in an space where I can concentrate
without duties and people waiting
for me to finish my “weird chinese
exercises”.
Always thankful for your advice,
Adel
I can sympathize;
I know how it can feel difficult to build momentum.
But slow progress is still progress, and
coming to retreats can act as an accelerant,
so it is wonderful you will be coming.
I will be there the whole summer, actually.
Best,
Steven
