Today I have decided to start a Journal for Cultivation, recording what I do to cultivate my Energy/Prana/Life force/QI/Blood essence etc… into my lower Dantien. I plan to daily put in more and more energy into my Dantien, gradually increase the speed of cultivation along the way.
I normally use the Western Chakra system, but for Cultivation I use the Dantiens to store the energy.
About myself, I practiced a lot of different types of magick for multiple years now.
My main focus was Vampirism in the form of the works of N.D Blackwood and E.A Koetting.
In the book Scholomance there is a practice of preying upon the stars and taking their energy, so I tried taking various different energies and cultivating with them. While preying on Human energy has its benefits, it’s easier to get energy from essentially everything else, and every type of energy brings its own bonuses.

Work:
-2x 1 Hour of walking while Cultivating energy into my lower dantien
-30 minutes of seated cultivation
Results:
I noticed a extreme sense of calm, peace and serenity while cultivating and many hours after that, it gradually returned to normal but my base conscioness still remained slightly elevated then before the cutlvation of energy.
In the meantime something i noticed was a hyperrealistic dream and my dream recalls was a lot better then usually. Far better i was lucid in the dream for short amounts of it but that was it.
Today i have cultivated a few breaths throughout the day and 1 hour sitting
I have been cultivating with the mantra “TEK - LA - TON - FO - KEM” its a mantra i have a lot of positive experience with. Its been posted here on balg on a post called “Angelic Mantras redux” by Darkestknight i can only recommend it.
Today i have started to feel the outline of my dantien through the entire day. Sometimes falling out of my consciousness but then swiftly making itself noticeable due to a feeling of warmth or just the tingling of energy. The energy flowing through my body has now increased noticeably aswell. When i close my eyes and watch my body i can feel the current of energy flowing through my almost instantly.
These small results are motivating to cultivate even more.
Today i cultivated for 30 minutes seated and for 4 hours passively by cultivating energy while working. Now after posting this i will cultivate for about a hour then go to sleep,
Today i have cultivated a lot less then usual but i have noticed that if i mive my astral body actively before going to sleep, especially by increasing its size and then decreasing it. I always get a very lucid dream.
Still i have cultivated for abt 30 minutes and i am searching for ways to cultivate more effectively. Possibly throigh evocation or rituals for bigger energy transfers into my dantien.
I have cultivated little today, but i can still talk abt some results. I keep having heightened dream recall and lucidity. I also have more energy day to day. Now before going to sleep i will cultivate for atleast 30 minutes but aside from that i only cultivated for 10 minutes today. I plan to put in more effort the coming days.
Today i have started to cultivate in a different way after reading through the forum.
I am now focus on the energy of source, i gained the ability to dip into source energy after a while of kriya yoga. Now i am using that to cultivate that energy, i did fully body breathing drawing in source energy and compressing it over and over.
In total i cultivated for about 60 minutes.
I started practicing the microcosmic orbit aswell today i only practiced it for about 20 minutes
To further edjucate myself i bought 3 book of
mantak chia
, they will arrive on the 9th of april till then i will keep cultivating and running the microcosmic orbit.
Practicing both brought about many sensation within body/mind and a great sense of stillness and peace.
Today i have cultivated for abt 60 Minutes and run the microcosmic orbit for 20 minutes.
Also i have noticed that i qas but a frog in a well after researching more abt qigong. I will continue reading i ordered 4 books by now till they arrive i will stuff myself with youtube and posts on various websites.
Today i have binge watched mantak chia. Read all posts regarding qi gong, Neigong, Neidan on the forum and watched some more content on yt to continue learning.
I practiced the microcosmic orbit for abt 30 minutes and i practiced embryonic breathing through all 6 channels to cultivate more efficiently for about 60 minutes.
Since doing that i can feel 2 big “holes” in the middle of my palm and less noticeably on my soles, crown and minds eye. Tomorrow the book :
Will arrive and then i will surely be able to get a better understanding of this and fill in the missing information i need. Things like how to turn qi to shen and when to even attempt that are for example questions i couldnt find answers too or what elixir formation even is.
All of this seems very exciting especially because the results i have been having, are very motivating.
Same shema, i read more then i practiced but i practiced for about 1 hour sitting and while working for abt 4 hours did the microcosmic orbit. I also cultivated for about 1 hour
Today i have read for hours in the book mentioned above. i have gained many conclusions and changed my practice accordingly. I have been practicing embryonic breathing for hours now through all 6 gates passively.
Sometimes i forget to condense the inhaled Qi on the exhale into my lower real dantien, but i keep reminding myself to do that. its been 5 hours now that i have been doing this without stop and i plan to do this forever.
After this becomes effortless i will tackle doing the same with the small heavenly circulation (microcosmic orbit)
Also after reading i have decided to for now start the small heavenly circulation through the fire path mostly but i plan to switch occasionally so i can develop my spiritual faculties and my physical faculties accordingly.
The challenges i am facing rn are to keep this pace up and build on it. I wonder how life is going to be when i hit day 100.
The first 100 days seem to build the foundation of Cultivation/Qigong/Neidan
from the moment i woke up till abt 7 hours in i help up the embryonic breathing to cultivate qi. After that it started to overwhelm me. I need to condition my Dantien properly or rather let the qi sit in first.
Afterwards i cultivated for another 2 hours and then 30 minutes while sitting. Microcosmic orbit for 30 minutes aswell. I wont be able to put this much time into my Neidan practice in the future except on weekend due to my vacation ending but i will try to practice actively for about 1 hour a day and keep up the passive breathing regulations.
Also i finished the book “Qigong Meditation Small circulation.: The Foundation of Spiritual Enlightenment” today. A total of 430 Pages in about 3-4 Days. Great book, the amount of theory was a bit overwhelming but oh well, by the end of it, i learned a lot of practices and a lot of variations to it. I for certain know that for the goals i have, Embryonic breathing and small circulation will be part of it but not all of it.
I now will start the book “The Practice of Greater Kan and Li” By Mantak Chia, for it is the first to be delivered.
IF any of the more experienced practioners have any advice for me id also be happy to hear it !
I keep up my practice of the small heavenly cycle with the fire path and water path for good balance. After cycling today for a bit i noticed the energy cycle flowing by itself and me staying consciously aware of it. It was a very peaceful sensation to observe
Nothing mayor today, i kept watching through mantak chias youtube videos and practices the microcosmic orbit with the water path and the fire path. Also Embryonic breathing abt 1 hour each
Am keeping up cultivation. I noticed again that my brainpower increased, i am thinking way faster and i also get better ideas. Also in situations where my heart would race as a trauma response i was calm and collected, generally i am way calmer throught the day.
Yesterday during cultivation i frlt so profoundly at pesce i turned my music off and just abode in silence for most of the remaining day. Sadly i was not able to uphold embryonic breathing the entire day, im forgetting to contract my perineum and stomache muscles correctly most of the time.
Other then that again insane dreams abt past problems i have yet to resolve.
I had a great day. I have become more social and more confident through cultivation of energy. That resulted in me having more friends and also being approached more by the other gender.
Today i was asked out by a very pretty girl. New friends and a lot of fun.
My days have been like this and are improving at a fast pace. Today i only cultivated for abt 2 hours passively, i will sit down for abt 10 minutes to cultivate actively and another 10 for circulation.
