yep Brian, we are in it together! some people realise it, others don’t. But the more we harmonise ourselves, the more positively we are harmonising with the universe and all that is within it.
a butterfly flaps it’s wings, and the effects are felt on the other side of the world.
A human awakens to Buddha hood (or whatever term you wanna use) and ALL the world benefits, because through resonance, the vibration of all is raised.
keep going brother……….
My main practice, taidao, involves using sounds
The sounds are based on ancient fengshui understanding of universal frequency cycles.
The individual sounds are determined by your DOB and gender and correspond with the universal vibration at the time you were born. That frequency being the optimum energetic pattern that your spirit chose to be born during.
I forget how many different sounds/phases there are, but it’s roughly equivalent to the chinese yearly cycle (i think)
my experience of reciting the sounds (along with certain breathing methods) is very powerful, it’s like being in the womb of the universe again. it’s very nourishing, clarifying, energising and harmonising.
Master Feng likens it to the anti-virus scan that you do on your computer. As the sounds travel through your body, they correct and harmonise any distortions, as well as increase the qi at the same time.More advanced practice uses another sound based on 8(male) 7(female) yearly cycles to awaken the shen.
The next level is to repelnish and generate the jing.Alexander >>we are learning to say yes to ourselves<<
yep, that's how I see it too.
Given that, essentially, we are all one with the life force, it seems to be only the degree of speration or distortion in our dense form that varies from one person to another.
Then it is indeed saying yes to ourselves that allows greater downloading and integration of that intrinsic divine spirit/essence.
This is really amazing – what life is about. To realise it.
Whe you said in the previous post that "And it seems to be happening all over in more visible ways", im wondering, how are you witnessing this?
One manifestion in particular that I'm noticing is in a neice. She's only 1 year old, but, her alertness and the sparkle in her eyes are striking. Her expressions are saying so much – like she knows something, has a secret that she wants to tell everyone.
Even animals – birds, almost want to talk sometimes.
The wonder…………
…beggining with an invitation/intention on our part to recieve it….. – refining, receiving, refining, receiving….
…not that the life force (or what ever word we use) is ‘other’ than us, but it needs our permission to ‘download’
– so we are integrating that which is very subtle and allowing it to manifest here…..
GOOD vibes on this forum latelly – it feels nice
Good Qi to all
hey Alexander, amazing isn’t it?
greater expanding,
new openings occuring,
the unfolding into broader dimensions…………….
yes
nice one brother
Hi Jernej,
do you ‘push’ the point, or massage it? I prefer to massage with small circular movements. Very little pressure is needed because the massage goes deeper and deeper after a few minutesSteven: “The main lesson I can obtain from this is that the whole point of
doing practices is to try to gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your
place in the universe. Bliss is a side-effect.”spot-on mate, exactlly
Alexander, that quote is just what i needed to hear, right now.
I was hit hard today, right inside, in a powerful, but very uncomfortable way.
I was told things I feel i was not ready for…………
That quote puts EVERYTHING in to perspective.
This quote is very potent, and needs to displayed in a place of prominance where everyone – on this board and elsewhere, can read it.
Thank You
Hi Steven.
I find there are some things you can do while ‘waiting to practice’ after a meal – although in a sense, they constitue practice anyway.
SITTING
After eating, while sitting, you can massage any accupoints you want. Some of best for after (and before) a meal are
zu san li = stomach 36
about 3 fingers below the top of the shin bone. the point is on the muscle just on the outside of the shinbonesan yin jiao (‘3 yin meeting’ kidney, liver and spleen meeting point) = sp 6
about 3 fingers above the inner ankle bone on the inside of the legif you use 3 fingers to massage, you can’t miss ’em
STANDING
Master Wang (link below) taught me this one.
After eating, standing (outside if possible) with fingers facing to the earth (earth=spleen/digestion). Make circles with both arms.
The arms move slightly behind and away from the body, then come back in toward the body in a circular motion.
Imagine that the earth qi is comming in through the finger tips and to the stomach for digestion when you do this.
After a few minutes, this can feel really nice and quite powerful.WALKING
Relaxed walking is good for the digestive organs at any time, including after a meal.
When walking, you can do the circle movement described above.
Master Wang actually says it is done best while walking.Another thing he said is that when eating, imagine that the meal is THE NICESET TASTING meal you have ever had.
best, mat
Trunk
Thank you too for the conversation.
I s’pose different body types have repective advantages and dis-advantages. eg – i find it real easy to relax, but no doubt you have way more endurance and stamina than me (i gave up the dream of being a brick layer/landscapeer a few years ago)
ADVERTISMENT: ‘the human body. – no 2 models are the same’
I hope many people can/will read this:
“Just to mention a bit more on this exercise set. Basically it strongly, repeatedly, contracts all of the major muscles of the pelvic region .. What else does that? – Orgasm. So, basically, through exercise I’m mimicing some of the muscular response of orgasm. What happens, for me, when I do this (all three exercises in succession) is that, afterwards, the center of my lower core is pulsing, and it feels very cool and nourishing (none of the heat & stagnation issues that accompany aroused jing). I think it’s a very healthy approach for those of my body type to cool our jets.”
from how you describe it, it is obviouslly so beneficial, and would be to many others.

Hi Barry
B”Does Master Feng include a sexual training in the jing piece?”
I don’t know because I haven’t done it yet, but he has vaguely alluded to it when describing the benefits of level 3.
Strangly though, i have noticed that from combining levels 1&2, that the beginings of sexual practice is somehow addressed.
The first time this happened was during a powerful meditation when the energy built up stronger than ever before. I felt as though i was going to ejaculate but instead the pulsation went up the coxyx, sacrum, spine and becamce a full body bliss state.
Now this happens every so often on it’s own.B”DO you find he understands you emotionally? The way you process or work inside?”
YES.
Very much so, he can read me like a book. Inside and out. So his advice has always ben accurate and at the right time.
It’s very helpful, because I would never want to do any powerful practice without a master there as a guide.BTW., i enjoyed reading your accounts of your kdney pulsing practice 🙂
thanx – mat
Trunk, now i understand what you mean
T “there still tends to be a residue of unprocessed force left within the pelvic region, and that circulating alone does not resolve that.”
i actually don’t feel that as residual power at all after practice (daoyin/qigong meditation).
maybe it’s got a lot to do with body type – i’m pretty thin – not really prone to excessive strength anyway. but i can see how stonger constitutional types would have more strength/power particularlly in that region.
T “and modern life does nothing to process that vitality with physical labor in nature. This gives you a quick way to physically work the area.”
one of the reasons why i think your site (alchemical taoism) is soooo valuable.
thanx – mat
I didn’t really specify what i meant by:
“This when combined and balanced with qi and shen cultivation completelly balances the body and allows it to continually regenerate itself. ”
The reason is that I’m not allowed to say much about it. I’m allowed to say what what affect it has, but not how. This is part of the agreement entered into before begining learning the technique.
I know ‘secretive’ practices can have negative connotations, but the reason i can’t say much is because the approach is slightly different for most people.
Master Feng needs specific individual information in order to teach the technique to each person.But in generic terms, there are 3 levels to the practice
1 qi
2 shen
3 jing.
I’ve completed 1&2 but not 3 yet.but i find so far that from my experience (and if I understand Trunk correctlly), jing force can have a variety of manifestations in the body including but not limited to – strength/force/power/agitation/pressure (especially when it builds)
If this can to harnessed in a way that enhances our overall state (level 3) and complement qi and shen, then we are integrated and whole as humans – physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, ………..
T >>they never directly addressed the serious muscular strength, strong contraction, that comes from vitality. That feels to me a very primal male expression (women probably express it too, I suppose)<<
Sorry Trunk, I don't fully understand what you mean by 'serious muscular strength, strong contraction'
Do you mean that the feelings/sensations of 'power' and strength that come with vitality, (particularlly arousal) are not addressed by most systems?
And with that being the case, how then to integrate this strength/contraction into the rest of the body? In other words, how to use the 'power' mainfestation of jing into the body for the entire bodys' benefit?
Extreme cases of the strentgth/power overload are evidenced by footballers and other power athletes who have so much jing that they easilly get into fights at nightclubs etc.
If that IS what you mean, it's the very same question I ask my masters. (i have 2)
I said to one of them that sometimes the practice generates so much energy in me that i feel that I can't contain it. The cup spills over so to speak.
He said that there is a way to increase the size of you cup – the kineys' and bodys' capacity to contain and integrate a greater and greater charge of jing
This when combined and balanced with qi and shen cultivation completelly balances the body and allows it to continually regenerate itself.Hope I'm talking about what you originally meant by strength/power contraction and how to address it.
here's a link to the powerful practice i was refering to taught by Master Feng
