- Damo Mitchell guides you through a simple seated practice for 'stilling or settling the Jing'. This is a good precursor to deeper alchemical work as well as a beneficial practice for a person's health, especially if it is combined with this Kidney Qigong exercise: • Qigong to Nourish the ...

I know it makes for a great video, but sheesh, sitting out on that rock must have been a bit of a challenge! I liked his practice a lot, different but similar to a practice i've used for years for settling & soothing my nervous system (and relaxing/opening the pelvis region - useful for when sitting on a rock). I had some slightly oddball primordial vibes/imagery arise during this practice. Thanks for taking us through this.
I used this for 5-6 minutes in the middle of a table tennis training, before a couple more practice matches. (I have a tendency to "get in my head" while playing so hypothesized this could be a bit helpful) i went on to take a couple-three breaths like this inbetween points. And man. I beat a guy I never beated before 3-0 (i.e my consistency and focus went up drastically) and the other woman Ive had a 'close' loosing streak to 3-1 in the game after. I mean, I knew I had the skill to do it, my main issue was always getting worked up and loosing after getting some good starts. So just wanted to let everyone know this can be used for that as well if you have a tendency to get 'worked up' or 'emotional' during matches. Cant wait to try it in an actual match :D
Do you mean you did the 20 mins?
@@alFeras_tell ah no, only 5-6mins.
And then in the spaces between points.
Thanks for your service, very peaceful Damo. Blessings 🙏
🙏
Perfect timing Damo. Thanks for following the light of nature and being in season.
Blessings and yum. Lol !
Bloody brilliant! This is really good.
Thank you 🙏🏻 I’ve missed Damo’s demos!
I really liked this. To the point and immediately calming
Thanks Damo ☺️ what a gorgeous location. I gave this “settling” practice a go, and found something interesting. While I was able to feel the sensation of the wave of Qi descending toward the perineum on the out breath pretty easily, I noticed then that there was this sense of lopsidedness, like there was more energy shifted over to the right side and not evenly perceptible throughout. Any advice here? Generally I would continue to practice until it feels better balanced from side to side but if you have any specific suggestions for this one in particular, that would be great. 🙂
Hiya :) don’t worry, hardly anybody is ever symmetrical with regards to the Qi movement, it’s not such a worry, it will correct itself when it is good and ready :)
Is the the same formation you shot the Ji Ben Qi Gong Vid on years ago?
Yes, it is a spot I have spent many hours at over the years when I want to get away from the crowds and practice :)
Greetings Damo, thanks for the difference you bring into my life. In this exercise, "Stilling the Jing" as soon as I hit the meeting point of yin, hui yin, a cascade or shall I say a torrent of coolness would start pouring down from head, very cool. Is it okay to follow the exercise with sinking the qi as outlined in one of your earlier videos? Thanks again for the beautiful work that you are!
Great :) yes, sink the Qi after. No problem :)
@@LotusNeiGong Thank you Damo for your speedy reply.
I didn’t understand it, can you pls do a follow up one with a flip chart to understand the mechanics- because it sounds like anchoring the breath Qi…thanks in advance
Behind this method in particular you mean?
Do I put my hands on the lower tantien or just my mind? I did not understand the points name accustically and in th script it says barium which cannot be. Where is this point located?
Thank you for an answer.
Thank you so much for this excersize! It skyrocketed the meditation I do afterwards.
I found some things peculiar though.
At first it felt like the breath was getting stuck in the lower abdomen all across the lower gut, got denser and denser and then strong flatulence appeared suddenly. After a while of this it calmed down and it felt like some of the breath was able to decend further into the perineum, after some more time there was a little pop and started sensations of consolidation.
Is this normal? Is it maybe because I have ibd? Or is it the other way around?
I have many other questions, is there somewhere I can ask them?
It is usual for this exercise to create change where it is needed and so none of what you write here is unexpected :)
Can you please do a video on an introduction to all the terminology like what Jing means, nadan, dan tian, nei gong and chi etc... I am new to this but really wish to learn all the main terms so i can better understand what is it you are talking about.
That’s not a bad idea, so sure, I can do that :)
Hi Damo,
Can You provide us with jing distilations instructions?
Actually, these can be a little risky for some if they haven’t done prior work and so, for that reason, I don’t tend to put those instructions on RUclips, I would want to hurt anybody. I generally only share the totally safe stuff publicly like this.
I feel intensifying pressure in the front of the chest while trying to do this, what am I doing wrong?
Also do I breathe out as long as possible or follow a natural breathing cycle? If I sigh after breathing in am I stretching the outbreath too long?
Intensifying pressure means that the mind needs to relax a great deal. Be chill my friend! :)
Allow the breathing to naturally unfold and don’t force it at all. Let the exhalation be of a natural length.
Sighing after the inhalation may be either constriction of the diaphragm (which needs to relax) or weakness of the acquired Qi which could probably be helped with a healthy and nourishing diet :)
Good luck with it
Hey Damo! Thank you for this video.
Two things I noticed. With the downward breath I felt like a cold breeze at the perineum. And when holding the qi at the bottom and breathing normally, the dan tien point felt as a cold point.
Do you recognize this?
Hi. Yes, it will change soon enough . Sensations switch and this isn’t that uncommon :)
Thank you! So, the purpose of putting hands on the eyes at the end of the practice, is to prevent Liver hyper yang rising?
Essentially, yes. I may need to do a short explanation on this some time as it is common to many Qigong systems and there are actually a few ‘knacks’ to making it work :)
What is liver hyper yang ?
curious to know more about this ! @@LotusNeiGong
Consolidation leads to refinement, no? If not would love a video on refining the cultivated jing..
Nvm, you answered the question at 2:14 lol
Hello, Sifu Damo, thank you for sharing this exercise publicly. During this exercise, the sensation at the base of the body was quite strong, and the day after my perineum was very sore. I think that perhaps this might mean I am making an error or have some kind of imbalance. Do you have any advice? Many thanks for all of your instruction.
Just sounds like far too much strength to your intention to be honest. Soften it a great deal, be more casual in your efforts :) good luck
@@LotusNeiGong Thank you 🙏
Grate respect! Your work resonates with mine right now, I feel deep connected with the universe thank's to you. I have two questions if possible; the first part sounds like anchoring the breath as explained in your MCO; or the intention must be different here? Can these practices also be done by lying down? thks
Thanks for your kind words :) it is better to do these practises sat upright due to the way the Qi moves within the spine. The intention on this breathing method is a little different due to the direction of the breath rather than the observation of it :)
Thank you
Nice! Thx!
Thank you ta
Nice but too far away to see the movements. Can't zoom in on a video
I have a question can do qi manifestation like you do in novels or become immortal by practicing various exercises .
i seriously want to practice martial arts
and do qi manifestation use sword ki or sword intent so please clear my doubt as are those truly real and if its true can i reach that level with hardwork.
thank you
Yes, these things are possible but very very rare and so difficult and unlikely to achieve that people are better of studying these arts for personal development and cultivation of nature :)
Thanks but can you put the ads at the beginning and not the middle? Very jarring
Oh, apologies, didn't know they were on. Changed :)
@@LotusNeiGong Thanks very much
❤
I don't understand the breathing instruction. Need more information please.
Where is the mind placed?
On which part sorry?
