Thanks for the well-wishes. No need to worry, I am all good again. Just an old problem that flared up but finally got sorted :) Still in good spirits and functioning fine once more 🙏🏻

Hambdolilah :) cheers bro!

Thanks for the great month in Bali. I've learnt so much from the great teachers at LNG.

Sorry to hear you were in a bad way. Much love to you and I hope you're feeling great now ❤

Very cool. Looking forward to that Taiji, Xingyi, Bagua video! Also interested to learn about the different cultivation particulars for women. And then the mysterious third video I'm sure will also be a delight :)

Glad to hear you are okay now Damo. Take care of yourself 🙏

So glad you are healing, & healing old injuries as well. 🙏🏼

Glad you're okay! Thank you for the update. I am really interested in what's going on there. Sounds like a lot of fun 😂 I hope to join someday!

Oh my. Glad you are well and still around

Happy to hear that you are recovering quickly good sir!

As usual, you put some things in the right place. Keep up the good work and take care of your health first and foremost!

Take care , glad to hear it’s all going so well and that you have made a good recovery. Quite a curve ball 🐲☯️🙏

Glad u r okay. Blessings brother

Don't neglect sorting your will! It's a weight off your mind

Beautiful sharing ❤thank you

Great chat as always, that clicking was Jesus trying to chat with ya HAHA

Many thanks, as someone unlikely to ever be able to attend a live event I like to hear about initial physical training. More guidance on this would be greatly appreciated ❤❤

Best explanation of using the stance postures to cultivate tissue elasticity and joint connectivity/articulation. Activate those springs!

Yeah... would love to see a demo of that on video, but I guess that's part of the going to Ubud course.

Whether we can accept qi or not... I was formerly a hardened life-long atheist and did not believe in anything spiritual. Then in my mid-40s I met the dragon god Tiamat IRL and she asked me to follow her. Now I can pretty much accept anything. Since I met Tiamat my entire body has been pulsing with energy, and I'm always feeling electric currents moving through me, especially up my left leg. It usually starts just above my ankle and then flows upwards into the rest of body. Also, I recently went to an accupuncturist and when she put a needle in my right leg, just below my knee, she was electrically shocked and jumped back across the room. Simultaneously I felt like a little lightning bolt hit my leg and an intense electric current flowed through my leg and down into my foot for about 20 seconds. I guess this was qi? She wore gloves with me from then on. Anyway I am interested in the spiritual aspects of training, so I signed up for your foundation course! I'm older now and have no problem taking things slower and easier. I have bought all your books and am enjoying your extensive theoretical knowledge, which I appreciate most. Thank you very much.

Maybe one day ey

So I get the process goes something like this: 1. External training, build strength „springiness“, discipline, punching. This is to prepare the body and get basic skill in martial arts. Build it such that it is compatible with the internal arts. 2. Build the Dan tien, prepare the energetic body to work. Learn some forms - why not, learn to open sink and release. Springiness, stretches can be transferred in these forms. Open the body to create space inside. 3. Mobilise the insides. (Weirdest bit so far perhaps.) Learn to have the inside move the outside. Most important thing in internal arts. Do loads of standing (correctly). Create internal body standing. Do „stupid exercises“: little movements that look stupid from the outside and are highly sophisticated in the inside, they open the body up. (Takes about one year) 4. Develop power with Xing Yi. … …

4. Develop power using Xing Yi. 5 fists, Xian Ti: After Body and Mind are together (Xing Yi) strength comes very fast. This is then polished further. 5. Develop the mind with Buddhist teachings 6. Some Chinese Medicine.

Move on to Push Hands Tui Shou, after they know how to do Xing Yi power. At some point everyone has a Basis in Ba Gua, Tai Chi, Xing Yi along Qi Gong Meditation etc.

Glad your doing well, are you planning to do more long term training groups after this one?

I doubt it actually. This is most likely my final time teaching martial arts in this way. After Bali, I wish to fashion my life with a slightly more gentle pace 😁 Even considering bowing out of public teaching to a large degree after this.

„Well actually…“ (23:56) - I think that’s me :D

Damo, what do you mean by "Consolidation" of the Dan Tien?

@LotusNeiGong

25 күн бұрын

The Dan Tian needs to gather Qi and condense in order to be useful. At the start, the Qi is too thin to be of use and that’s why we consolidate :)

On May 17, it seemed to me that the atmosphere of the earth was destroyed by the sun, and I literally found myself at the Last Judgment. I wonder if our experience is somewhat similar?..

I wonder, how do people finance themselves doing this? Seems hard to work along side a full time Martial Arts training…

@@LotusNeiGong If you almost died, I am screwed, haha.Do you think the increased energy of spiritual practice can make the margin of error smaller, making what would be a slowly progressing illness in many people something potentially more volatile in the practitioner, almost like the spirit wants good health or death to continue its journey, no longer content with the drawn out unwellness of so many modern people?
