    I do not know what this thread was about. I unfortunately got here after I was tagged, when most of the content had already been deleted. Sorry I couldn't be of any help. Best wishes. Xuan
  2. TESTIMONIAL: "I've been having some very nice spontaneous movements doing the meditation, thanks! Sometimes I would start "speaking" but I'm not sure if I was speaking something, it just felt like a lot of random noises coming out of my mouth, I couldn't figure out exactly what I was saying, I couldn't comprehend a single word lol, I definitely wasn't expecting that reaction haha Another movement I've been having a lot is that when I'm sitting cross-legged my upper body starts to turn counterclockwise a lot of times, I thought I would stay the whole session doing that haha, then it stops and after a few minutes it started doing the same thing again but this time it was turning clockwise, but it happened just a few times, the vast majority was counterclockwise movement. Thank you Xuan, I will keep on practicing! 😁 Oh and english is not my native language, but I think you can understand hahaha, thanks!"
  3. TESTIMONIAL: "Over the course of the week I got accustomed to not holding onto any expectations, just being perceptive and grateful for the time. At first I noticed some neat little creaks and pops in certain back and neck bones, "jade pillow," and down to the sternum. Lately I ended up doing some swaying movements, circling the crown while at the same time sinking to become more rooted. One time I was too tired and just laid down for the second half hour. At some point I woke up and watched as waves of soft light were drifting down from the ceiling and being absorbed into my chest. Thanks again Xuan Daoji and XYP for your kindness in sharing the practice."
  4. TESTIMONIAL: "Q: Hey! Good evening!! I want to do the practice in the "Insight Timer" app but I'm practicing Spring Forest Qigong, do you think I can still do the practice? They won't cause "bad side effects" by practicing two different systems? Thanks in advance, have a great day! ------------- X: Absolutely not. I'm familiar with SFQ practices. There will be no conflict. Feel free to hop in any day you like. Regards. Xuan _________ Q: Wow, I practiced it today. What I felt was a LOT of spontaneous movements, mainly in my neck. Sometimes I would start contracting my body and closing my hands with a lot of strength and then releasing it. I also felt some tingling sensations in some parts of my body, but the predominant sensation was spontaneous movements. I feel refreshed after the session, thank you a lot for sharing, Xuan!"
  5. TESTIMONIAL: "Hi I am new to this but have been trained in Taoist neigong since 2020, and basic qigong for many years before that. I recently joined the free guided meditation thorugh the link to InsightTimer. I’m very thankful for the opportunity and wanted to share my “Day 1” mini-testimonial. Friday, December 8th A few minutes after connecting, I felt a very brief and light sort of settling adjustment on my left arm then right leg. Nice to meet you. Several more minutes in, I’m just kind of wondering: ok what now? I hear someone say nicely “slow down.” Half way through the hour, my mind started wandering to various topics, even pondered making a quick bathroom break. Instead I spontaneously rubbed both eyes with thumb and forefinger, like someone with a headache might do. This turned into quite a bit of an improvised acupressure treatment of the yintang point and surrounding square inch (UB 1 and 2 areas). Also massaging with a knuckle all underneath my cheekbones, along the jaw, and ending up on the front of my chin, which was unexpectedly weirdly sore. This all felt great because I had a cold last month and some small nasty feeling lingering ever since, so this finally helped relieve the pressure. Sat the rest of the time relaxing and listening to the crickets."
  6. TESTIMONIAL: ---- Q: Hey mate, I joined yesterday's meditation and I just wanted to check something. I felt some sort of thought in my head say my spine needs to be worked on first. Honestly I have really bad posture and I'm full of aches and pains from sitting meditation. I started doing lots of movements, the kind you do when cracking your neck. That proceeded to some weird chiropractic-style twists and stretches. After about 20 minutes the thought in my head said that's all my energy system could take and come back tomorrow. I feel pretty pain free today, which is unusual for me. Honestly, the whole experience was strange, in a good way. I was wondering, is that normal, or did I just do a load of stretches instinctively, because it felt good. I wonder if there was an element of hypnotic suggestion - because I have been told about automatic movement, it gave my subconscious permission to get weird. I ask because from what I gather, that zifa gong normally only happens after initiation? ---- X: Hello. I'm glad you're having new and interesting experiences since you joined. I started the meditation group for several reasons: 1. To create a strong resonant pool of consciousness that would entrain to my energy and entrain to the vibration of our tradition, raising the vibration of all participants and aligning it to the devine. This would allow them to more easily expand their focus away from the physical and settle into the non-material realms with greater lucidity. 2. To encourage people to be consistent with practice. Meditation can be lonely and often boring and tedious. It is not always exciting. So having a sense of community and we're in it together-ness can help with consistency. 3. To use the established energetic environment to conduct treatments of people on a general basis for health and wellbeing, but also more personally for complex psychoemotional imbalances. So I use the environment as a sort of treatment room as its easier to work on individuals when they are entrained to me energetically. 4. Lastly, to connect practitioners interested in internal cultivation to competent and qualified guides residing within the immaterial realms who have traversed the path themselves and are recognised to instruct in the alchemical path of our tradition. In these instances, I will use my status and authority to invite Hu Fa Shen to temporarily pair with and guide uninitiated students during the sessions. This allows committed practitioners to get a taste of our tradition and to aid them in alchemical practice. This last point encapsulates some of your experiences last night. Whichever of those ideas the participant aligns to vibrationally, by choice, or whatever we have agreed upon before hand, will be what they experience and synchronise with during the sessions. As most traditional Daoist schools, we begin with realigning and fortifying the structures and condition of the body to stabilise and prepare the vessel for subtle work. This is what you're experiencing right now. It is called Xian Tian Shen Gong and is predominantly focused on movement and postural training. Once the body has been improved to a condition conducive to deeper work, the movements will gradually stop and you will be guided to seated meditation, Xian Tian Jing Zuo or guided breath and energy work, Xian Tian Qigong. While I understand that Zifa and spontaneous movement is what is most commonly attributed to similar phenomena, it's important to understand that this situation is not that and that the Hu Fa Shen guiding you in my room is an independent disembodied consciousness, different from you only by its discarnate state, the quality and size of its consciousness and its authority and rank in the immaterial realm. What you hear is the voice of the teacher that has chosen to work with you and the phenomena you feel are because of his interaction with you while you're immersed in the bubble of his consciousness and your energy is being entrained and your body, subtle energy and consciousness are being acted on and guided in the direction of the subtlest realms of the Dao. This is why our art is called Dao Yin Shu. If you look up the phrase, Dao Yin, nowadays, whether online or in literature, you will find pictures or videos or forms of movements akin to Ba Duan Jin or Yi Jin Jing, and the meaning of Yin there has been watered down to mean "stretching and guiding the Qi and limbs", but this is only because practitioners lost the connection to the divine over time due to the long-held cultural traditions of keeping arts within the family and behind closed doors. Often when a master died, his art died with him. If you go back far enough you will find that the Yin in Dao Yin stands for guidance, rather than guiding and Dao refers to divine existence. So together it means Guided by the Divine and Shu means art; hence, The Divine Guidance Art. To add to your last point. If you become formally initiated, it comes with particular things, such as an energetic signature in your aura that acts as a sort of uniform in the immaterial realms, so other spirits recognise your apprenticeship under Tai Shang and Xiao Yao Pai, authority to perform certain skills and your first Fu Fa Shen that is formally assigned to you, who will change only when you reach certain ranks or achievements in personal development etc ---- Q: Thanks! That's all really interesting. I was wondering what happens after death in your tradition? I asked this on the daobums forum and didn't get a reply. Does your spirit reside in a heavenly realm and become a fa shen for mortal practitioners within the tradition? Is that how spirits in the heavenly realms avoid transmigration? I'm assuming there's some type of karmic bond that is forged with the tradition? ---- X: Sorry, I must have missed it or maybe I was not in the mood 🤓 It is important to note that merely becoming initiated is not sufficient to ameliorate the condition of one's consciousness, qualitative speaking - to a degree that would allow vibrational synchronicity with a stratum of the fractal multidimensionality that corresponds to the idea of a "heavenly" experience. There are in fact many who become initiated, practice a couple of times and then never come back to it again. So aside from being assigned a teacher, one must practice Dao Yin Shu diligently in order to qualitatively and quantitative cultivate the consciousness in order to settle and abide in the realms of their preference. Any "spirit" in their discarnate state may act in the capacity of a "guide" to those other souls having an incarnate experience whom they have some affiliation with or have made agreements to assist them in exploring the themes they have chosen to challenge themselves with within the context of a particular experience of physical reality in the incarnate state. It is not necessary for them to have developed to degree equal to that of a Xian Shen, or for them to become affiliated with any heavenly schools - but merely to contain within themselves enough of what is lacking in another that they can execute the function of a guide effectively. Fu Fa Shen have a particular rank and are affiliated in a formal capacity with both the heavenly and earthly branches of our school. They specialise in particular things, such that under certain requirements of a practice phase, one teacher may be temporarily swapped out for another, just like in school on earth where u have your head of year, then you have your math teacher biology teacher, physics teacher etc. So, whether you become a Fu Fa Shen will depend on your degree of advancement. ---- Q: Thanks, it's just I wondered if there was a karmic debt incurred to the lineage that one must effectively pay off at death. I'm just thinking of the long term implications of initiation, and the ramifications of that after death. ---- X: "Transmigration" isn't a curse, it is a free choice and a desire of each developing soul, for it is in the incarnate state that the quality of the consciousness can be improved, especially the emotional quality of the consciousness, which is an essential condition for the experience of and vibrational synchronisation with the heavenly realms. The immateriality of existence beyond the density of the physical vibration is void of material form, thus the action of manifestation does not take any time or space nor does it need to issue by way of the actions of a physical body. Simply in your discarnate state, being only of mind and light, what you feel and instantaneously becomes a loved experience. Thus the existences of heavens and hella as described by traditional abrahamic religions are in fact simply various strata of the immaterial vibrational multidimensionality who are populated by souls of like vibrational quality who then pool together in collective consciousness to experience the realms project by their emotions and thoughts which constitute the creation of the abides they reside in. So there ate many many vibrational layers of existence pooled by populations of synchronistically aligned souls. They are all eager to incarnate and portion a part of their consciousness within the volume of their soul that is assigned to have a physical experience. Thus the experience of Taiji and duality or physical life, happens within the volume of the discarnate consciousness as an idea of reality. Where space time is separated from it's unity and split into the experience of one and the other bringing rise to process and the experience of things happening over time. It is in that incarnation that they can then work to improve the emotional quality and intelligence and wisdom of their soul in order to reside in realms deeper and deeper in the Dao that are subtler and more tender, up to the energy of the creator in his abode. So, incarnation is not something souls avoid, it's something they queue up to do with their friends. Each picking something to work on, a new perspective to explore that will help them balance one side of the scale of their growth against another in order to guarantee an healthy, even and holistic growth as a consciousness. When an discarnate being looks within its volume and assesses and energetic imbalance in their growth they desire to enter a physical experience in order to absorb the opposite perspective in order to balance themselves. "God" does not force anyone to incarnate or not incarnate, that would be a condition. How then could he be the unconditional all that is if he is conditional? Thus the Dao allows each spirit free will to develop in the direction of his choosing. Supporting all of its creation as parts of itself. So it is good to learn to look at incarnation from a more positive perspective. For it was your choice to come here to learn and play. X: "Transmigration" isn't a curse, it is a free choice and a desire of each developing soul, for it is in the incarnate state that the quality of the consciousness can be improved, especially the emotional quality of the consciousness, which is an essential condition for the experience of and vibrational synchronisation with the heavenly realms.

So there are many many vibrational layers of existence pooled by populations of synchronistically aligned souls.

Thus the experience of Taiji and duality or physical life, happens within the volume of the discarnate consciousness as an idea of reality. It is a holographic experience and the experience of it is akin to a part of the soul falling asleep so to say and having a dream of being physical, much like we fall asleep and dream of many non-physical things, so too a portion of the soul sleeps and dreams of the physical. Within that realm, space time is separated from its unity and split into the experience of one and the other, this and that up and down, hot and cold, Yin and Yang, bringing rise to process and the experience of things happening over time. It is in that incarnation that they can then work to improve their emotional quality and intelligence and wisdom of their soul in order to reside in realms deeper and deeper in the Dao that are subtler and more tender, up to the energy of the creator in his abode. So, incarnation is not something souls avoid, it's something they queue up to do with their friends and it is a cause of great excitement. Each picking something to work on, a new perspective to explore that will help them balance one side of the scale of their growth against another in order to guarantee a healthy, even and holistic growth as a consciousness. Not skewing too far in one direction or the other and becoming disharmonious. So, when an discarnate being looks within its volume and assesses and energetic imbalance in their growth they desire to enter a physical experience in order to absorb the opposite perspective in order to balance themselves. "God" does not force anyone to incarnate or not incarnate, that would be a condition. How then could he be the unconditional all that is if he is conditional? Thus the Dao allows each spirit free will to develop in the direction of his choosing. Supporting all of its creation as parts of itself. So it is good to learn to look at incarnation from a more positive perspective. For it was your choice to come here to learn and play As for the karmic debts. No karmic debts. No strings attached. The only thing is that If you dissolve the apprenticeship you must wait until you decide to enter physical reality anew in order to be initiated again. Perhaps it's the cost of complacency or the swine not valuing the pearls for lack of a better analogy 😂 After death, depending on your degree of entrainment to the vibration of our school, you will settle in a realm affiliated to our vibration and may continue various forms of work there or reincarnate again if you wish to experience new perspectives of the absolute through your unique unique individuality, or you may simply abide in a the realms you're entrained to and exist until you are spurred into action. ---- Q: That's really fascinating, thank you for your insights. I suppose, coming from a Buddhist background, I tend toward a more pessimistic view toward the physical experience, so it's nice to have a new perspective. I'll keep going with the evening group practice for now. Will keep an eye out for the next initiation. Thanks again! ---- X: My pleasure. See you around 🙏🏽
  7. Hello! Hi! I read through this whole thread the past couple of days, very interesting! Glad you found it interesting : ) 1) When is the next initiation in Europe? In the near future, currently no dates are set. I will make announcements here and on FB when the time is due: www.spiritualdaoism.com (FB Group) 2) I read several times, that people requested testimonials from experienced practitioners, and you seemed to have that on hand. However, I couldn't seem to find them. Were they posted? It sounds very interesting I'd have to ask first, what constitutes an experienced practitioner to you: time since initiation or time in practice? Most of our testimonials tend to come from new initiates and internal discussions we have during meetings and seminars where we share what we've experienced during practice and in life. It's not something we really record, but we're always happy to answer questions and queries as we have a large community of cultivators. 3) What are the views of XYP on vegetarianism? IF you want to be a vegetarian you can, if you don't want to be - you don't have to be. It does not affect our cultivation and we don't have any prejudice towards either. You have to consume what your body needs, when it needs it, at the right amounts. 4) What are the views of XYP on sexuality? It is a healthy part of our life and necessary to fostering intimate connection with our partners. In moderation, it does not disturb our work; in excess - it makes some processes take longer. Ultimately, it is part of being human and sexual relations have their own place in the evolution of our character within the context of physical experience. 5) What are the views of XYP on sexual cultivation and sexual practices? We do not practice sex for the purpose of cultivation, and we generally do not believe it is an efficient, effective or karmically constructive approach to supplementing the bodies energy, but everyone is free to explore their own path in the Dao. There are 10,000 gates that lead to the subtle one, some are faster, some are slower, some are straight, some are winding - all offer experience and growth through various perspectives of the absolute. Be blessed by the Divine! Many blessings to you too. Tai Shang Bao Yu! Regards. Xuan
  8. For your information, I am running a free meditation group every day from 23 PM UK Time. If you're interested in joining you can find more details here with some testimonials: TESTIMONIAL 1 "I strongly advise you to participate in @Xuan's daily meditation. It's a fantastic opportunity to let go of what no longer serves you and reconnect with your authentic self. I've been participating for the last three nights and am amazed at how much my days have improved. The first night, I had a powerful bodily experience in which I felt blocked energy begin to flow through my body. My body was shaking as a cold sensation flowed through it. On the second night, I was led through many former events when I felt a lot of fear and clarified why I felt that way because of the meaning that I assigned to what happened. Last night, I found the strength to forgive and let go of all the resentment I had been carrying for a long time. My everyday mindset improved significantly and I was able to go through stressful events while remaining present in my body rather than running away from what I was feeling. During these days, waves of love poured over me, and I felt at peace doing my regular tasks. I was present, which helped me to trust that I am unconditionally supported by the creation and that my life is unfolding just as it should. I used to have a lot of resistance during the day because I kept arguing that I couldn't let go of control for a long time, but since I started meditating with Xuan, I've been able to let go and appreciate every part of my days. I had the idea that everything happens at the right moment and that I will not miss anything; that I am where I am for a reason and that it is exactly where I need to be. I was also able to give and accept love, joy, and compassion, as well as detach myself from my old beliefs and trust I have exactly what I need. For a long time, I felt at my core that I was so insignificant and had so little control over what was going on in my life. With Xuan's guidance and support, I was able to connect the dots and begin relaxing by realising I had the freedom to choose what I preferred. I am a Reiki master in multiple systems and have been working with healing energy for a long time, but the Xiao Yao schools cultivation is uniquely different. Thank you, Xuan for all your hard work and for allowing us to benefit from it." TESTIMONIAL 2: " Hi Elizabeth. The energy feels really different. Reiki energy has always felt hot for me, but when Xuan connects to me, I feel a flow of strong cold energy, not heat. Another thing that is different is that Reiki energy tends to make me feel energised, it charges me, but in a general, non-specific way, if that makes sense. On the other hand when im in the meditation room with Xuan, i feel the energy is doing specific things in my body, focusing on problem areas im aware of and i can feel it clearing blockages. It's like it has intelligence or consciousness of its own. Reiki also tends to leave me a little tense afterwards, but with this I have a persistent feeling of peace and emotional stability afterwards. Also a significant sense of detachment from my emotions, almost like im watching things from a distance rather than identifying completely with them." TESTIMONIAL 3: "Quite an interesting experience. I initially started off before reading the instructions and did my usual seated stillness with hands in dyana mudra position. I found that I could breathe much slower than usual and was able to concentrate better. After around 20 minutes I had to adjust my seating position and saw the instructions to properly connect with Xuan. I put my hands in the relevant position and did the intention. Soon after that it felt like a jacuzzi in my head, an effect I sometimes experience from qigong, accompanied by images of outer space. Throughout the meditation I didn’t see much except blue, most of physical affects were being able to breathe much deeper and much slower than usual, and I felt some energy around my shoulder blades. Towards the end I had to adjust my seating position again, re did the connecting process and experienced the same effect which was quite interesting. Looking forward to join again and highly recommend everyone tries a session!" TESTIMONIAL 4: "I had an extraordinary experience yesterday when I started a group meditation session. First of all, just before starting meditation I felt a very strong energy resonance from my heart chakra, then after starting meditation I immediately entered a deep meditation state and felt the energy from the heart chakra spread to the third eye chakra and sacral chakra. This lasted for 1 hour and after finishing I felt very peaceful and felt like all the energy blockages in my body were all cleared. After meditation I feel very energized all day. On the second day today, I immediately felt peaceful when I started meditating, although the sensation was not as intense as the first day (maybe because on the first day there was clearing of energy blockages in my body) but I felt peaceful throughout the meditation. That is my testimony from following the daily meditation session for 2 days. Lu." TESTIMONIAL 5: "Hi Xuan, it's me Lu. I am grateful to you because since attending this group meditation session for almost a month I have experienced a very significant change in myself, it feels like I was reborn into a different person. I felt very calm, balanced and filled with love. My Lian Gong process also feels deeper and I feel that my Gong Li has improved a lot since attending this meditation session. I hope that more people can benefit from these group meditation sessions. Once again thank you very much Xuan 🙏" TESTIMONIAL 6 "I had a tremendous experience yesterday during your mediation session. It is very hard to put into words, but after several minutes, my hands wished to move independently and if I moved them back to the original position they would then proceed back to where they wanted to go. After rising and falling they rotated over both knees for a very long time, so much so that I began to think I would be doing it for an hour. Next my body did circular movements, in both directions, then my spine did forward and back motions. I then did a movement that made me feel the movement of my ribs and my internal organs felt massaged. Lastly my neck was stretched upwards and I felt a heavy pressure that pushed me backwards until I was leaning completely backwards. At any stage when I moved against the direction my body wanted to go, I was then again slowly led back. I stayed in the backwards position for quite some time. Despite being cognitively there I did not realise the session had finished. I was then pushed forward at a much greater speed and then felt a release. I should add that I was conscious, that my breath was much deeper and lower and felt guided throughout. I have never had an experience like it and went in not expecting it. I felt a great feeling of relaxation and peacefulness, and immediately went to sleep. This morning I feel that I have had a work out and feel stretched especially internally. My mind has clarity and peacefulness Guy"

  13. THE GIFT OF LIGHT ....................................... A daily meditation session offering free healing and energy attunement to help clear blockages, dissolve resistance and align you with the subtle vibrational energies of the higher realms. Xuan Daoji is an ordained priest, Daoshi 道仕, in the ancient tradition of the Xiao Yao School of Daoist Spiritual Cultivation. In this scheduled one hour guided meditation, you will be energetically empowered to receive a vibrational attunement in the frequency of our lineage with the purpose of guiding your consciousness into a state of calm and peace. The transmission will help to facilitate an energetic re-balancing of your physical and subtle bodies and bring you into alignment with your encoded blueprints for optimal functional health and spiritual awareness. For those practising internal alchemy and the esoteric spiritual arts; this daily transmission will assist you in cultivating your subtle energy to stimulate the delicate process of internal transformation by infusing the volume of your body with a refined Shen energy through the Shang Dan Tian. This light will step down into Qi in the Chong Dan Tian and then settle into the Xia Dan Tian to facillitate the transmutation of Jing into the frequency required to activate the Du and Ren meridians for the refinement of high vibrational energy through the Xiao Zhou Tian (Microcosmic Orbit). INSTRUCTIONS: ................................ After you join the room. Take a comfortable seated meditation position with your back naturally straight and set a gentle intention to reach out to me with your heart and mind. This will establish a consensual resonance between us and allow me to elevate your vibration, attend to any areas that are out of balance and imbue your subtle energy with transformational light. When the countdown timer hits 1:00:00. Put your hands in a prayer position against your chest for a minute, then relax and allow your body to react spontaneously to the session, permitting the energy to go where it is needed and to flow through you to release stagnation and dissolve resistance. You may experience sensations of heat, cold, tingling, shaking, vibrations, visible lights or glowing, see images, re-live old experiences from a different perspective, or experience cathartic releases of emotions. Whatever you need to heal and fortify your being; you will receive. Many blessings, Tai Shang Bao Yu. .....................................................................

Thank you, Xuan for all your hard work and for allowing us to benefit from it." TESTIMONIAL 2: " Hi Elizabeth. The energy feels really different. Reiki energy has always felt hot for me, but when Xuan connects to me, I feel a flow of strong cold energy, not heat. Another thing that is different is that Reiki energy tends to make me feel energised, it charges me, but in a general, non-specific way, if that makes sense. On the other hand when im in the meditation room with Xuan, i feel the energy is doing specific things in my body, focusing on problem areas im aware of and i can feel it clearing blockages. It's like it has intelligence or consciousness of its own. Reiki also tends to leave me a little tense afterwards, but with this I have a persistent feeling of peace and emotional stability afterwards. Also a significant sense of detachment from my emotions, almost like im watching things from a distance rather than identifying completely with them." TESTIMONIAL 3: "Quite an interesting experience. I initially started off before reading the instructions and did my usual seated stillness with hands in dyana mudra position. I found that I could breathe much slower than usual and was able to concentrate better. After around 20 minutes I had to adjust my seating position and saw the instructions to properly connect with Xuan. I put my hands in the relevant position and did the intention. Soon after that it felt like a jacuzzi in my head, an effect I sometimes experience from qigong, accompanied by images of outer space. Throughout the meditation I didn’t see much except blue, most of physical affects were being able to breathe much deeper and much slower than usual, and I felt some energy around my shoulder blades. Towards the end I had to adjust my seating position again, re did the connecting process and experienced the same effect which was quite interesting. Looking forward to join again and highly recommend everyone tries a session!" TESTIMONIAL 4: "I had an extraordinary experience yesterday when I started a group meditation session. First of all, just before starting meditation I felt a very strong energy resonance from my heart chakra, then after starting meditation I immediately entered a deep meditation state and felt the energy from the heart chakra spread to the third eye chakra and sacral chakra. This lasted for 1 hour and after finishing I felt very peaceful and felt like all the energy blockages in my body were all cleared. After meditation I feel very energized all day. On the second day today, I immediately felt peaceful when I started meditating, although the sensation was not as intense as the first day (maybe because on the first day there was clearing of energy blockages in my body) but I felt peaceful throughout the meditation. That is my testimony from following the daily meditation session for 2 days. Lu." TESTIMONIAL 5: "Hi Xuan, it's me Lu. I am grateful to you because since attending this group meditation session for almost a month I have experienced a very significant change in myself, it feels like I was reborn into a different person. I felt very calm, balanced and filled with love. My Lian Gong process also feels deeper and I feel that my Gong Li has improved a lot since attending this meditation session. I hope that more people can benefit from these group meditation sessions. Once again thank you very much Xuan 🙏" TESTIMONIAL 6 "I had a tremendous experience yesterday during your mediation session. It is very hard to put into words, but after several minutes, my hands wished to move independently and if I moved them back to the original position they would then proceed back to where they wanted to go. After rising and falling they rotated over both knees for a very long time, so much so that I began to think I would be doing it for an hour. Next my body did circular movements, in both directions, then my spine did forward and back motions. I then did a movement that made me feel the movement of my ribs and my internal organs felt massaged. Lastly my neck was stretched upwards and I felt a heavy pressure that pushed me backwards until I was leaning completely backwards. At any stage when I moved against the direction my body wanted to go, I was then again slowly led back. I stayed in the backwards position for quite some time. Despite being cognitively there I did not realise the session had finished. I was then pushed forward at a much greater speed and then felt a release. I should add that I was conscious, that my breath was much deeper and lower and felt guided throughout. I have never had an experience like it and went in not expecting it. I felt a great feeling of relaxation and peacefulness, and immediately went to sleep. This morning I feel that I have had a work out and feel stretched especially internally. My mind has clarity and peacefulness Guy"
  14. Upper dantian

    A: The idea of initiating practice in the Xia Dan Tian and moving the cauldron to the Zhong and Shang, in that order, is with the purpose of assuring that the necessary vibration of Qi is utilized to stimulate the corresponding dimension of energy associated with those centers. Thus, it would not make sense, for instance; before laying the appropriate foundation in the Xia Dan Tian, to attempt to cycle energy through the MCO - as you'd literally just be doing nothing different that what your body is already managing as an automatic process; as regards moving Qi through your mai to sustain your experience of physical reality. The MCO is always open, the Ren and Du are one of the first vessels to form. They are the governors of the body's rivers. Qi has always been flowing through them. Were it not, you'd be dead. The idea is that the Qi that flows through our meridian network, before we do the right work - has a particular vibrational range which is responsible for producing specific effects in the body that are consistent with that dimension of processes. However, the full spectrum of the vibrational range of the meridians is a capacity capable of facilitating much higher vibrations of Qi - and each tick up in the vibrational strata, enables the Qi to "trigger" and catalyse a different and otherwise dormant level of function as regards our diapason of capable perception between the physical experience and the non-physical experience (somatic senses and extra somatic senses). So, the Xia, Zhong and Shang Dan Tian all require a specific frequency of Qi to activate the complete range of their potentials. This is why there is a process and a sequence of work. Having said that, these frequencies of Qi exist outside the body also - and it is possible to introduce them into the system from an external source in order to infuse and induce the respective energetic systems within to modulate their functions. In nature in particular, there are various natural sources from which the corresponding frequences can be entrained to by merging ourselves into the aura or bubble of the respective source. It is also possible to directly entrain yourself to the necessary frequency of Qi by sharing the space with or directly receiving the vibration through transmission from another being and then habituating the resonance within the body of your own consciousness, which can then be used to affect the respective areas of interest with a vibration that resonates closely enough to stimulate their non-conventional activities. Those who work with the appropriate vibration in the Shang Dan Tian, will begin to enter the domain of non-physical experience and "refine" the states pertaining to loving-oneness, emptiness, god-centerdness vs self-centerdness, will consciously expand their physical awareness deeper into their non-physical counterpart and access the faculties associated with those ranges of phenomenal and non-phenomenal existence; and they will, among many other things, also reinforce reality outside of the physical range of existence in the form of a disembodied consciousness. There are many doors to the Dao, beware of those who claim there is but one whose key is in their sole possession.
