  • Just a quickly recorded clip on the nature of building Qi vs Regulating Qi through moving exercises. Mostly to answer a bunch of questions that have come in recently.

    Oh boy, you are a STAR. you answered many of my questions that I couldn’t find elsewhere. I’ve been meditating intensely for years, ended up with a lot of Chi (stagnated, unregulated Chi), now at the very early stage of Qigong (bought a book, doing it at home), that stagnated chi has improved, I can make it move now. head pressure due to excess chi in the head has improved,
    Thanks a lot for the videos and for the information.

    I'm glad you mentioned that you can't just build chi without regulating it as you'll die young. As that's what I have been doing through various RUclips videos also been doing many breathing exercises all through RUclips. I think all lessons on chi building should carry this warning.

    Brilliant, as per usual. Your ability to explain these subtle concepts so comprehensively constantly astounds me, even after many years of following you. And that tree behind you, covered in vines, is moving in a most fantastically trippy way. Like Snuffleupagus doing Qi Gong. :)

    Your content is outstanding and has helped my practice immensely. I want to ask about your comment toward the end of the video where you say the Embrace the Tree posture in standing isn’t useful for building qi. Could you elaborate? That posture seems like the one that virtually everyone agrees is a good one to practice. It’s the first shape in Yiquan, for example. Are the other Yiquan postures better, or perhaps a staggered stance like Santi?

    Very helpful and clearly explained. Nicely complements the sitting exercise videos you've put on youtube.
    I was wondering if there are significant differences between how much difference sleep, diet, breathing meditation exercises, just sitting exercises, and any other practice makes for developing qi. And what difference it makes practising early morning vs in the evening (or any other time).

    Therefore, building Qi through certain techniques while sitting or standing is more important than just movements dedicated to regulating Qi. After building the Qi, we need Qi Gong or Tai Qi movements to regulate the accumulated or condensed Qi.
    Sounds like an excellent starting plant to me. 😊
    Thanks Damo

    • @supremeknowing
      @supremeknowing 9 месяцев назад

      Very much true, but most people igronre building cui foundation (dantien)
      They go directly to mobing tai chi. Almost all thai chi master only show this aspect and rarely talk about building dan tien.
      What's the point if there not thick, dense chi?
      Damo mitchell hit the nail here

    So basically, be still, relax, open sink, centre and have mind as emptiness and chi should build? To pit it another way, increase in chi is increase in feeling /awareness?

  • @Kshade92
    @Kshade92 4 месяца назад

    I appreciate this distinction here. Would you say that the more Regulating Qigong forms are Waigong, while Building Qigong is more Neigong? or are both considered Neigong, while Waigong would be more even more "external" like calisthenics

    Hello and thanks for all your videos I have recently been immersing myself in!
    I am wanting to join the online training course for LNG/Tai chi but have a question: is there any merit in practising, for example, the sinking the chi and kidney nourishing routines which I have been doing, before first building the tantien? Are there any videos on this or is it only revealed in the online training course?
    Many thanks.

    I’m an energy healer who is new to Qi Gong and I’m looking for a balanced Qi Gong routine that can do exactly what you described: Builds qi and regulates it. Do you have any videos of a daily routine that would do just that? Or is there one of another teacher you could recommend? Thank you!

  • @marcodeza3359
    @marcodeza3359 5 месяцев назад

    Hi Damo, I connect with what you are saying and can find tons of techniques and practices. But to built energy, you mention standing with your hands out is not the technique you had in mind. Please make a video on the postures/techniques to build Qi.

    Hey Damo, thank you for the videos. Do you think your courses online would help with harsh kundalini activation effects I got from practicing kundalini breathwork and the micro cosmic orbit? I watched your series on it but am not sure if I would benefit from your courses online or not. Thanks!

      I have been standing for two decades now, and I feel that 3-5 minutes is the absolute minimum. That is, assuming you are fairly empty, grounded and aligned from the start. Otherwise 10 minutes in 2-3 positions, starting afresh in each.

  • @stewartcracknell3903
    @stewartcracknell3903 8 месяцев назад

    So I have been doing ba duan jin 30 minute practice every day for several years and as you say it has been good for stress with the breathing, flexibility I can now touch my toes and hold horse stance for longer. I've noticed an increase in energy from the effort I put in, its like I can push up or down with controlled pressure as if I were pushing weights without having anything in my hands, hard to describe. If my practice hasnt been building qi, how can my experience be explained? What is needed to build the qi? I have also been doing breath work alone, sitting on sea front, sharp inhale four seconds, hold for 12 second, slowly exhale for ten seconds. Anymore ideas for me please?

    • @janopenksa6668
      @janopenksa6668 7 месяцев назад

      I have the same problem and I think that building qi is based on neidan training, which includes a small circulation of the path of fire, where I can't understand it yet and it's dangerous

    repent and then return to learning as a driver of a car. Who's advice are you following, after you received your drivers license? Parkour is the power of pure thought.
