Trip,

Clearly you’ve received mostly benefit from Chia-studies, and i respect that.

To the degree that attempts to clarify Tao principles become personal attacks, this whole conversation becomes (exponentially) counter-productive, imho. Distinguishing the two is often difficult, both for the person talking and for the one listening.

Please break your future posts into paragraphs. Much easier to read.

Sounds basically ok.

However, there is no formula that you can follow totally by rote. A big part of the…[Read more]

> how to properly do k1 breathing? >

How i do it is the tan tien expands and pulls qi in from the k1’s on the inhale. I don’t worry about the exhale so much.

I have a caution about Yi Swallows Chi. Since in that practice the starting place of the slow yi-swallow is fairly high, I am cautious that in some cases where rooting is weak and there is prone to fear, that you might not effectively be able to guide the chi all the way down.
