Navigate in Qi gong

ADAM MOLNARÍRÁSOK

A very slim part of humanity is interested in Qi – 氣.

This small group is even divided further. Major part of it is interested in Qi intellectually ( feng shui, medicine, philosophy …etc. ).

From this even tinier division, majoritiy seemingly go to a very determined direction and only a microscopic part remained, who is willing to dig deeper, toward resistance, difficulty, sacrifice and so on. Entering a realm of uncertainty, perhaps chaos and defenitely unkown territory.

Let’s cut all possible contexts that do not truely relate to find Qi in the practise of Qi gong. What remains in a very thin line of interest, seems to me almost the pin of a needle, where there is a gate actually a vast , wide territory that may open up for the seeker, behind that pin.

The baby steps in true search, amongst authentic Qi gong methods are quite difficult. If we remind ourselves again the above shortly described divisions… it may give us a bit more realistic standpoint where we stand truely.

Given we realized our actual standpoint and take that we are deluded naturally, and how much confusion exist on the surface about Qi gong, it is quite sobering. A chance opens up now. With just enough honesty, a bit more clearly we may devide false from relatively true informations.

Anything that is appealing, gives results in short term and rock us into a belief that we are special in any shape or form, might be discarded immediately. What remians , we may start with.

Fast leap…

Nei gong seems to me difficult, hard when in working and complex. Something I would respect more than just to use it for marketing aims or just because it is trendy nowadays. Qi gong practise in the nei gong systems seems so far from what main stream promises people. Majority of times also very contradictory to its true principles.

Few pointers, that may need a minute to think about and comprehend and used with confusion in mainstream:
– lower dan tian: its conditions, location, methods to work with, functions, associations,
– qi : how to find, use, mobilize, collect, refine etc. and illusions about it.
– alchemy: mostly used term, majorly to attract exoticism, draw attention… explain, without truely explaining, etc.

– mind, intention, shen, jing and all phrases could be copy pasted.

Appealing, seemingly logical, saves us from reality, promises desired states of mind, or imagined results. So many traps.

How should a practitioner prepare for the search, structure their practise and controll mindset, right intentions and actions and speech. To prevent from further sliding down on slopes, that lead away from the real work. Keep doing the real work without giving in for promising fake wishes and sedative methods widely promoted.

As everyone should at least be reserved the right to access authentic methods to find and work with Qi, a bridge that is almost sacred and let us connect with the finding of truer meanings.
