Some are almost indistinguishable from bullshit.

Oh yeah???? What about this?

Did it make you laugh or cry?

I practice once a day. Sometimes in the morning...sometimes in the evening. Often I practice outside.

So i've been doing each of the first 2 positions for 10 minutes a day for around 5 days now. it is pretty difficult doing that 2nd position for a full 10 minutes. as i was doing it today my arms and hands were getting extremely tingly. i was thinking to myself, wow am i getting weaker? and should i be eating breakfast before i do this every morning? then i checked out the book again for the first time in a few weeks and apparently the tingling sensation is a good thing that comes from increased blood and chi flow. i guess i'm making some progress.

for the most part i'm doing this twice a day now, once in the morning, once at night. it kind of took the place of my nightly meditation, but i still do meditate a couple days a week after the qi gong exercises.

I just finished my first week at 5 min each, per directions in the book. Two more weeks to go. I plan on doing it twice a day (as advised in the book) as I progress towards the next level.

Well shit...I bounced from the shroomery about 6 months ago, quit smoking and everything else, got a good job at a university, and for the most part had a much needed straightening out my chaotic nogin. During that time I started doing allot of qigong, and now here I am back to the good ol shroomery and there is a huge qigong forum going, and 2 really good books posted. Synchronicity, it never ceases to amaze me how full of them my life is sometimes.

Well that is exactly why I keep coming back...the love. I'm pretty sure you have all been monitoring my activity's the past few months, extrapolated that I would be back on here pretty soon, and began discussing my current interests just so I would feel all warm and fuzzy.

so how's everybody doing with it?

i was supposed to start doing each position for 15 minutes today, but i think i'm going to give myself another week of 10 minutes. i feel like i'm getting better and better at remaining completely still. i think at first i was moving around a little bit without even realizing it.

I am up to 10 minutes a day now. I like it very much and have not missed a day. Still it's too early to tell what the benefits may be in the long run.

I spend about a minimum of 15 and a maximum of 45 minutes a day (5 to 6 days a week). I am still standing, but I am thinking about moving on to section 2 of the book. I have been juggling Qi Gong with a steady diet of kettlebell lifting and swinging. I see benefits to the Qi Gong in mental focus, but it is hard to judge. My mental focus may have improved by trying to keep from bonking myself with a kettlebell. In any case I am still on board and going strong.

You can hold your arms in that position for 45 minutes?:whoa:

I spend some time in position 1, but I can and have "held the ball" for over 30 minutes. I don't really get distressed until about 25 minutes into it. I have considered trying it while holding my 53lb kettlebell. The standing practice does increase arm strength in the laterals quite significantly if you push yourself a tiny bit.

I have done it for two (!) days now, and am sweating like crazy. Usually this happens if I mediate as much as I'd like to too. Makes me back off because so much stuff comes up at once.

Is it safe to just keep trodding through this?

Yes. If you are having difficulty, that is all the more reason to stick with it.

I sweat like crazy much of my practice.

I do ten minutes of just standing to get ready and then do the ball standing. I'm up to 11 minutes now. I have still not missed a day since I started. I feel if I did allow myself a day off I would find a way to quit.:lol:

i do the first position for 10 minutes a day now, and the 2nd position for 15 minutes. in 2 weeks i think i'm going to bump each position up 5 more minutes, then after a couple weeks of that i'm going to move on to the next set of exercises.

i think ive missed a total of 3 days out of doing it for 2 months now, and i only missed because i was staying over friends places on those days.

i'm still really enjoying this. glad i started doing it.

i'm on about the 10th day of this practice, and grateful for it.

Some numbness, and a lot of tingling in my upper back and chest are frequent.  I, too, sweat like a motherfucker.  It feels really good.  Mmmm, chiiiiii.

it also makes me very high :smile:  Mmmm, oxygeeeeennnn.

There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt

I will keep it up then. I sweat more after practice. Maybe I just need to work on grounding that energy.

This is the good stuff. I have decided to enroll on studies under Master Lam himself once I return to Europe this summer.

Many of the moving qi gong exercises I have done spontaneously during trips. It feels very natural.
