The Root of Chinese Qigong: Secrets for Health, Longevity and Enlightenment
arrived thursday yay!
and today arrived
Qigong, the Secret of Youth: Da Mo's Muscle/tendon and Marrow/brain Washing
Having now read "the roots" cover to cover
what a can of worms I have just opened
Time to beat back the Xin emotional mind with Yi wisdom mind
(This is going to be interesting/challanging training)
Regulation in my new buzz word!!
(think i will leave the other book for a while but may have a peek in it )
afew questions for people who may have read the book / and can understand my questions.
ive tryed out the arching the arms posture gong shou pg 99
its an exercise for sensing qi flow
its opened my eyes for sure.
I also tryed the leading Qi exercise on page 100
you stand and amagine you are pusing your palms down while being fully relaxed
my palms did become warm and it did feel what felt like air was coming out of my palms,
is this too yang? ie to make your hands warm like that on page 56 it says the chinese symbol for qi was constructed with two words "no fire."
and goes on to say that a qigong practitioner should not try to feel your qi as heat, its better to feel it as an electrical sensation?
also With abdominal breathing and building qi in your lower dan tian it was suggested to think your dan tian was on fire to help regulate/ focus your xin emotional mind on the dan tian and help it not wander.
but if you feel that is it too heat/fire .. is this also too yang as well?
Maybe im looking to deep into things at this stage.
Fantasic read though.
