Category: First 100 Days

I had a fantastic meditation practice today – one of the best I’ve ever had actually. Today during sitting meditation, I decided to try a technique I had seen in another book. I did my best to quiet my inhale and exhale – to the point where I couldn’t hear them. I essentially slowed my […]

Alright, so my left hip has been bothering me quite a bit. I woke up and it was very sore/painful. I decided to slow down a LOT today and see how it feels. My middle back will also appreciate the rest, because it also feels pretty sore. I’m quite a bit overweight at the moment, […]

So, especially after my sinful performance yesterday, it’s easy to get distracted and not notice any spiritual gains. However, since I began the program, I can confidently say that I am slightly more flexible – especially in my hamstrings. I also recover a LOT faster from pins and needles/dead leg after meditating for a while. […]

Today was a day of sin and confusion. I did not leak my seminal jing, but I also engaged in behavior that I don’t consider reflects our noble linage in its true light. For that, I apologize sincerely. I wanted to do an extra 20 minutes of meditation for penance but was simply only able […]

That includes 10 points + earth breathing. I think I’ll edit the program a bit after further experience based on what I think will work best. […]

Well, today was quite a challenging day, because my libido was on “rocket mode” all day…lol. Somatic meditation, celibacy, etc… all make a powerful, potent restorative fuel. I’ll confess that I nearly broke, but I found a really useful strategy. Whenever I felt I was nearly gone, I’d just start repeating in my head “this […]

It’s no secret in the neigong/qigong community that the 2nd most difficult part of training is maintaining monk-like celibacy. It is critical to refine seminal jing to qi. Without it, there is no practice and very little progress. The first most difficult part? Laziness. Today was especially difficult for me celibacy wise. Any kind of […]

So, I didn’t quite stick to the guide on my first day. I fell a bit short. I did #1, #2, #3, #6 (the hard part lol), #10 and part of #8. I fell asleep while doing qi packing lying down because my body just felt too tired by the evening to go on. I […]
