Introduction
- Energy is a big subject and itself is very abstract.
- But in this philosophy it can be understood from rough to very fine.
- Refining energy is part of our martial arts training into meditation direction.
- Daoism uses this refining process in meditation towards a God direction
- Buddhism refines this energy into meditation towards kindness, heart and wisdom, and compassion. To open 6 sky abilities and will to finally to create Pure Land to help other life.
- So energy is neutral.
3+1 Energies
- We begin with essence qi / original qi (not sure of Chinese??)
- This energy is hidden in the bone marrow
- To move you need energy, so this is the original energy you are born with.
- By age 19, for humans, it starts to deplete unless you continue to train and develop it.
血氣Xue Qi – Physical – Blood Energy
- The blood pumps to create muscles, and it makes bones grow, making organs grow
- As we grow, Xue Qi can become stronger or weaker. We can develop or destroy it
- Need more notes here…
精氣Jing Qi (Essence) – Marrow Energy
- More refined than Xue qi – More light and no gravity brings a feeling of a body built by air. Floating feeling. Then very fast
- Xi Sui Jing develops this energy to become more sensitive
- You can call it fine energy – relaxed light movement with less muscle movement
- Most modern humans do not know how to control it, or how to develop it
- Because it is so fine, it can easily get blocked – as you age and become less flexible, nerves get blocked, your body stiffens, and this energy cannot pass through anymore.
- When original qi comes out from bones marrow we call this Jing Qi??
- This energy sends information to our nervous system
- We dont have to refine our energy to Jing Qi before we can open Lingqi. As there are some systems to open Lingqi directly.
Training – Duan Gu (Bone Awareness training)
- Consciousness connected to bone structure
- Eyes half closed – be aware of someone pulling your head up, someone pulling your shoulder out
- Feel bones stack on top of each other.
- So your awareness feels the posture at the bone level
- Similar to how a bodybuilder makes a pose from every angle look the way he wants. Aware of the bone placement and muscle position.
- Not focused on how the energy moves (Ie Taiji) but on how it forms??
Training – Yi Jin Jing – Bodhidharma training system
- Consciousness connected to tendon and ligaments Yijing
- Feel the stretching open and powerful
- Chest open and free
- Weighed stretch it open
- Ensure nerves are not squeezed, make the area have space and feel great 🙂, and not get mentally stressed.
- Weighted stretching with laser line to open joints and set the nervous system free
- Use a machine to strongly open ligaments and stretch out to fingers to send energy through all meridians with light twisting
Training – Xi Sui Jing – Bodhidharma training system
- Feel energy in your body
- Feel something come out of your body no muscle not much strength
- Because we train rough energy, we are so used to it we can’t feel whole body light, no tension, and being sensitive
- Stiff heavy blocked not doing it
Ling Qi
- This we can call spiritual energy. We can also call it no more personal ego. Energy no longer trapped by our ego.
- This energy exists somehow outside of the world of form
- The limited human brain cannot access this energy by following blind human desire ego
- Ling Qi is Pure Land energy
- The heart can create unlimited Lingqi like Amitabha Buddha. Purify into compassion and wisdom heart
- Goto Amitabha Buddha Pure Land, it is also because of Buddhism Ling qi unlimited force
Training Ling Qi Notes
- Observing
- We can take every ego serious, but it disappears all the same.
- It has the power to control us. But it is created by our pure essence.
- We develop wisdom to be free from it. Back to essence trains this ability.
- We can take every ego serious, but it disappears all the same.
- Lingqi is also related to the idea of unlimited light
- Feel everything is for us to learn
- Feel appreciate towards everything able to learn to develop self and help others
How Sifu trains it
- When training free from tension, he can sometimes see energy run in his body
- When train meditation can see inside the body
- Much wisdom appear because from training Taiji into meditation and then connect to Buddhism the wisdom appears by itself
- Sometimes he connects to Amitabha Buddha and his system and experience many spiritual lights, signs, see Buddhas, learn wisdom directly.
- Anytime into a discipline to be free from personal – energy trains from Jingqi become Lingqi
- What does it feel like?
- Firstly no gravity
- Body melt open itself
- Brain free no thinking
- Heart feel open and joy
- Wisdom rising itself
- You can also experience it from sincere bowing
- Sometimes you can use herbs
- Or you become open heart no think about yourself
- A stage of empty-mind stage – free stage mind observing philosophy
- Appreciative heart observe statue, life, wisdom – totally forgot yourself
- Pure Heart is where Lingqi comes from
How other students train it
Ask other students if they might share their systems to put in here 🙂
- Zentim: Many of my sky-eye experiences came from the same process of training Taiji outside in nature and then observing nature and philosophy. Training happens a lot, and magic a couple of times a year which is the best odds I’ve found for myself 🙂
- Sequence
- Be in good condition neck and shouolders not much tension.
- Stretching, increase heart rate hike, stretch opening and freeing the body, into Yi Jing Jin, train more centre,
- Qigong and Taiji, relaxed no mental stress, forget myself for awhile,
- Observe nature, read philosophy and be peaceful in nature.
- Then sometimes magic happens. Not sure if Lingqi??
- Eyes or ears can open. Sometimes, I can hear far distance, like it is right next to me.
- Sometimes eyes can zoom in very microscopic fine detail and back behind me so I can see myself simultaneously. Super cool 🙂 But never if I want it to happen.. enjoy training it.
