qigong for cold

When I looked at my posted response I saw that the system had left out your quote:

“I found that trying to actively change the situation is about as effective as lifting myself up by my shoelaces.”

before my response: “You can’t do that until after you learn Kan & Li. (smile)”

Hi Mat,

While you may have stirred something up using Lin’s technique, I feel you are in a growth process, not just “having a problem”. I would not treat it as such myself.
My inclination is to believe that you have some unconscious fear blocking your system and that your tendency is to try to control what’s going on by figuring out what the problem is and then doing something about it. I, myself, would simply relax and ask my shen and the lifeforce to take care of the situation, allowing the energies to blend and harmonize and take me through the process of healing. It is not about asking “How?” but about having the intention to be whole and then letting the process do it’s work.
Opening the heart is paramount here. Your beingness can come through only if you do. Fear is the opposite state.Health/sickness is totally energetic, mostly subconscious in its origins and is always meant to take you to another level of completion and selfhood. Somehow, you have to “let it go” consciously and let it take care of itself. All healing happens because we have let go of whatever we were doing that caused the problem in the first place, and, as I said, most of that is unconscious.
So forget about trying or controlling, turn off your thinking, settle down and let be what is. It is trying to take you somewhere, teach you something.
If we have a lot of pain and fear or thinking around something, we may find ourselves in a position in which we are in over our heads. Then we need outside help to let go. Ask yourself if this is true and go from there.
Peace and positive energy,
Alexander

…I had this morning while I was meditating-

You may not know the Kan and Li formulas yet, Mat, but you can still imagine the clear, colorless light of yuan chi while you smile.
That energy is “source chi.” It is neutral, neither yin nor yang, and its nature is to transmute whatever is imbalanced and stuck. It is a pure love bath that has a much higher power than if one were to attempt to change something by changing it into something else.
You simply fill your innner space with clear, colorless light as if you were inside a rain drop or quartz crystal. There is a profound shift in the energy from polarized to neutral with this technique which releases the form of the situation you are working on from its stuckness without messing with it. It is a high level surrendering to the source and should you succeed in doing this it will quickly alchemize what is happening inside you. It is effortless and blissful, so look for that when you practice if you choose to try it.

Good luck!
Alexander
