I think Ive finally felt what blocked chi feels like. After a bit of a tense day, I did sitting meditation for 30 min then stood practicing sinking when I suddenly felt a sensation which felt subtle yet fairly obvious after standing for a few minutes.
On the back of my neck down to my shoulders I felt a feeling of contraction that was there for a minute or so while I focused on it but slowly it went away and I lost feeling of it as I continued to practice.
Im wondering could it be that the sensation of a blockage to go away but still remain only to be felt once practicing again?
Its been over 4 months of practicing sinking and scanning with no real obvious progress so I feel good to know that Im getting somewhere with learning strictly from the book and cds. THANKS BRUCE!

Im still practicing sinking and have been basically starting at the top of my head and feeling my whole body from skin inwards, down till I reach the bottom of my.feet. Im not sure if I can feel the chi continuously throughout, so I think I may be partly visualizing and focusing on sensations (if any) as I move down; not necessarily feeling chi.
It also feels like as Im learning its a bit of guess work, but I understand that eventually it will be a clearly felt sensation the entire time moving down; like a wave.
I feel as if Ive gone “sung” after practicing so Im wondering is it more of a passive thing that just “happens” after one maintains alignments and proper breathing etc (practice of course)?

Dear friends,
I have a lot of inspiration of this new qi-gong side for me.
Althought i am not so healthy the last years, a colon and gallbladder that are removed. So long doing sport Athletics, 400-800m till end 58 year i was amased that i could have such heavy problems.
Trying to find and strenghed my tandien, doing every day exercises barefoot on gras. Of course missing such important organs like galbladder and large intestine, it worries me a bit. How will the body compensates that loss ?
I see on many you tube video’s that many masters doing their exercises with shoes on, or doing it on concrete. I do it barefoot on grassland, is that the good option ?

Still workin at it; I feel as though when sinking downwards, the sensations which Im gathering are chi are going down in sections for example feeling my neck, then shoulders and entire arms at once rather than a thin laser like sinking inch by inch. .

Ive recently begun learning energy gates and have been practicing sinking for about 2 weeks now. When I reach my arms Im assuming that I focus on my torso as well while sinking. I find myself struggling to focus on both. Any suggestions?

This is interesting and I may be taking a session on Maui.
How does Taoism relate to Christianity? In its meditation, can one still pray in quietness to our Lord Jesus?
Thank you.

What you’re experiencing is the result of one of the three:
1. A problem in the brain, which is unlikley and on which I am not qualified to comment.
2. The blood isn’t dropping out of your head; I teach how to deal with this kind of stuff all of the time. Any one of my Senior Instructors know these methods well and could teach it to you, see the Instructor Directory on my website.
3. Something could be wrong with your spine, which any osteopath or chiropractor could probably fix–even doing qigong would probably help.
