Taiji is a form of qigong and it is extremely beneficial for you whether it is Chen, Wu, Sun, Yang or Wudang style. It is ALL beneficial.

AMEN to that one.

And I STRONGLY believe that all qigong practise should be coupled with a good taiji form and practised diligently. Especially if you practise qigong cultivation routinely. Taiji form…[Read more]

One’s opinion only. Not to be taken as all sacred.

Allowing god to guide you is only allowing your higher self to guide you since god and you/me/self is one. And this I believe is a complex issue not just related to ego, etc. but rather deeper cellular/DNA connection. Praying and giving to “god” is not such a wrong thing. It gives our…[Read more]

Amen … me too.

I would like to say that I have been practising the Hunyuan System Primordial Qigong created by Feng Zhiquiang,for 6 years. I have tried some others but why leave something that is great. Works wonders for me on all levels. Amazing really.

For me I have just added some grounding technique from Jerry Johnson’s Medical Qigong text and some…[Read more]

The Garipollis are in Kuaui, Francesco Garipolli has trained with Master Duan.

Lots more than those listed.
Try the long list of taijiquan masters, eg. Master Feng Zhiquiang

OUCH!!

So sorry, that is not something I am into. I just let it grow naturally. Other than doing neidan exercises and prayer I just wing it. Then I search for others of more knowledge to fix any deviations. (joke, but it usually does happen at some point)

Most people on this forum are very knowledgeable and very capable. I am sure they can give…[Read more]

In my opinion, I would suggest that you earn a lot of grounding techniques and “I am” protections”. It is all very well to connect to celestial beings however not all celestial beings have your best interests at heart. It is best to be strong in self.

Just for you totake note.

Take care

I agree with sharing ones journey. Sometimes as individuals we struggle so hard and in opening up during my teacher’s training I had no direct guidance other than hours of “reality is important!!” lectures. Anything I said about my experiences were just shoved away and ignored. I thought I was strange, I got thoroughly confused with no…[Read more]

Hmmm interesting and very nicely put. Agree with that. Deviation can happen any time. I liken it to the forging of a sword. The metal is pounded over and over again over time and fire and prayer …. the end work is beautiful. However even in its beauty, an error in its wielding can break the blade.

Heaven …. my impression. Well, my little…[Read more]

I will always be a beginner. Just that I have done some things already that is all. I guess at this time there are some things I think I need to do more than others. That is all.

Sometimes I just get downright honery about it all. This last time period has been about paring things down. What matters most to me. What is important. Who is…[Read more]

Thank you so much for your sensitive reply. I do get a little defensive on certain things. I am so very careful of putting my well earned money into the hands of anyone designing tours for specific purposes. As I said before when I went to China to train taiji it was not the most pleasant experience I have ever had. I was an outcast from the…[Read more]

If training gongfu is only for the beginner than I shall remain a beginniner. That is nonsense. Go ahead and do all the training …. when you reach the end you will see that 90% of what you did to attain enlightenment was not necessary. But it does keep us busy and out of trouble so it is not all that bad.

I plan to keep physically active…[Read more]

I disagree. Martial arts training is a very good aide in spiritual development. And I do not regard taijiquan in the same category as karate or taekwondo which is definately more martial art. In the western sense anyways. All martial arts if taught correctly have qigong in them. I have taken both. There are similarities of course but this…[Read more]

Thank you for your suggestion of Michael’s trip to China. However this time round I want to train taiji, taiji sword and taiji fan. It sounds like Michael’s group will spend a good time sitting around in lotus or half lotus. I have been there, done that and no longer interested. I just spent a year sitting for hours on end meditating, sometimes…[Read more]

Taoist or no ….. Merry Christmas to everyone. Jesus Christ was and is still the greatest. Dates of his birth may be off and it is all too commercial but forgiving all of that … I hope everyone has very happy holidays.

And on another note … does anyone have any advice in travelling to Wudang Mt. My partner and I are going to China in…[Read more]

I only know of the falun gong from what I have heard and I also know that if I am near a practitioner my skin crawls, it literaly wants to crawl off and I just get the creeps. In fact I cannot stand near them for long, it is a very strange feeling and I find most of them to be very “airheaded” with an almost waxy appearance. I will go to the…[Read more]

Governments are not perfect. Politics are not my expertise. Healthcare is where I sit. Work from the inside out. Change can happen this way too – in politics. Good people are needed in high places, those that do not succumb to greed and power. Any takers? Is easy to talk from afar, much more difficult to speak within the mellee but it can…[Read more]
