Microcosmic orbit VS zazen and qigong

I want to share my experience. It is possible i practised the microcosmic orbit meditation a bit incorrect though. For two years i practised the meditation 1-3 hours a day, focusing on each energy spot 10-20 minutes.

I had wonderful results and it really transformed my life! I could write a small book about it. There was some side effects though. Every time i sat down i was thrown into a trance state. My body become extremly relaxed (way more then normal relaxation) and it felt really heavy. This also started to happen when i just stood up, for example in stores trying to decide what kind of milk to buy.

Finally i had to drop the meditation, because i started to feel ill during meditation and i got really dizzy, it was related to the third eye area and it also felt very bad at the solar plexus chakra. This soon extended to even when i was not meditating! I had felt earlier during meditation that a part of me didn’t need to circulate energy, a part of me was already perfectly at peace with myself.

So i decided to develop that instead, and started to sit zazen. The first time my third eye overfocused and i felt ill again. I then started to practise qigong, and the second time i did zazen the place my focus came from (what i focused with, one could say) (or what it should be called) was changed from third eye to a place between my navel and back inside my body. This totally ended all illness and everything was fine.

Now i practise zazen and qigong almost every day. I am not thrown into trance states anymore. I guess my energy is way more balanced now.

I just wanted to share this. If anyone wants to comment this, feel free to comment!
