Day 22
today i have circulated and moved my energy and i noticed all of a sudden how much easier it became. I can now move my energy out of my battery into my limps and so on instantly. Yet i do not know how to utilize that energy for example to not be exhausted or be stronger
Day 23
Due to work, gym and some activities with my friends i dont have that much time to cultivate sadly. I put in a good 30 minutes of cultivation but just through the crown of my head, so through one gate. I noticed that i can get more energy into myself when focusing on one stream then focusing on 5.
Day 24
Since Starting to Cultivate, i have noticed that i progressively got way better socially. More friends, many more women approach me then before, my looks improved a little as well. I get way more compliments and have a lot of positive interactions with the people around me.
Energetically i can now not only feel the “volume” of energy as in the space it occupies, i can perceive its presence by sight slightly but also i can feel the temperature of the energy very clearly. At least a lot more clearer then before. Generally i can move way greater amounts of energy then i was able to do before starting to cultivate.
Obviously that the case because i have been training the “muscle” that moves energy daily thus getting bet at it. Keeping this up will probably put me and anyone else who undertakes the same/similar journey to a point where a single breath will draw in more energy then a thousand at the beginning of cultivating.
Hello, your journal is very interesting. Im always looking forward to your posts.
What is your primary technique to actively cultivate? And im assuming that with “passive” cultivation you mindfully “link” or “connect” your breath to your dantien right, or something different?
Day 25
On this day i started again to research more deeply into cultivation. My second attempt on understanding mantak chia, my mistake was i bought the most advanced books he has and a different book for the basics. Not understanding that the systems are fundamentally the same but mantak chia does so much different that i had to essentially overhaul the information through different means. Mantak chia is really deep in fusing kan and Li, i understand it now. I have to yet attempt it. Putting the water energy and fire energy together to make “steam” rise through my body.
I still lack understanding but i understand how i would do it, atleast i lack the understanding to practice it properly. So i am advancing on my research and continuing to practice.
30 minutes of cultivation, passive cultivation and circulation throught the day. Small heavenly cycle for 30 minutes
Day 26
On this day I started to understand the practice of sealing the five senses. Upon rereading, I now have stopped consuming excessive amounts of social media or even various forms of media. I do not listen to music anymore 90% of the time. Before, I was doing everything with headphones in, in my free time.
As to answer your question, @MartialGod, by actively cultivating, I refer to embryonic breathing coupled with pore breathing. I am yet lacking to properly perform embryonic breathing, but I have advanced very well on pore breathing. So I currently cultivate by linking my breath with my dantian while meditating, pulling in energy through my pores and up to all 6 gates. I have yet to gain the skill to consistently pull energy through all 6 gates and my pores at the same time; it is a true challenge to maintain that.
By passively cultivating, I am just linking my breath to my dantian while pulling energy with the breath throughout the day.
I am happy to hear this from you, i hope that i can provide you with real value so you may cultivate sucessfully aswell
Day 27
Today i have found a yt channel called “Hai Yang”. He has a series called Xiu Dao.
I am now consuming his playlist, i originally was just searching for another video on embryonic breathing to gather some more information of it to essentially just confirm what i know.
I find the information in this video great and it confirmed to me that i am correctly practicing the embryonic breathing. I will go through his entire channels starting with his Xiu Dao series.
Today i cultivated actively for 60 minutes, passively for abt 1 more hour. I practiced the small heavenly cycle for 15minutes.
As a side note whenever i practice Embryonic breathing (Tai Xi) i feel energy flowing in automatically through my palms feet and head. Not yet through the third eye aswell but i can feel it very vividly in my palms and feet. So i seem to get better at a good pace
Day 28
I practiced Tai Qi through the entire day. Over a while i got so overwhelmed by the energy i could barely sleep. In my sleep i had a lucid dream and woke up really energized afterwards on Day 29 i did not practice except a bit of passive cultivation.
i mostly just absorbed more info.
Day 30
Today i have practiced once more actively the small heavenly cycle and proper cultivation. Passive cultivation aswell.
What i watched today:
Abt the Dantien and a practice abt tampering the dantien, i am now practicing it. I will practice this daily now.
Day 31
Dantien Tampering
Small Heavenly Circulation
Embryonic Breathing
I did not have time to watch or read much this day so thats all i did alongside passive practice
Day 32
Dantien Tampering
Small Heavenly Circulation
Embryonic Breathing
again I did not have time to watch or read much this day so thats all i did alongside passive practice.
I discovered a new practice of sexual alchemy i been practicing that for 2 days now, cant say i notice any change yet but i feel that its powerful.
Day 33 and Day 34
Little research, a lot of passive practice but only dantien tampering as a active practice.
I havent had much time recently to practice by of work and my studies.
Day 35
Videos i watched today:
The last video shows and explains a simple method of refining QI in the dantien. i also have done qi refining for about 10 minutes for today. Which is new to me but necessary
Day 36
Refining of qi is extremely effective, it has huge benefits for me and its way more noticeable then just cultivating qi.
Aside from that i did the same as before for day 36 aswell
Day 37
what i have watched today:
Also today while refining Qi, i noticed a kind of explosion of a cloud out of my dantien up my whole body. Not knowing at first what it was i just observed then remembered in one of mantak chias books he talked abt steaming, then it came to me Fire fanned by wind x water = steam.
I kept it up and i am now able to produce “steam” easily. Also i felt a very solid “drop” of something form in my lower dantien that i can feel even out of meditation the second i think about it. Maybe its the embryo/golden elixir/golden core. I do not know what it is but it definitly feels very pleasent.
Day 38
i watched
i really do not get where that mystery gate is, i think its a close guarded secret but well sooner or later it will open up or i will find it and it open it. As the heaven wills.
takeaways: i have noticed that daily xiu dao practice has elevated my mental capabilities tremendously. My body has been gaining strength and losing fat. I became a lot more confident, attractive, positive, stoic, calm, at peace and present in the moment.
Also it has become quite easy in comparison to before to perform embryonic breathing, i roughly breath this way abt 20% of the day by now and i am working to get this to 100%. I am sure it will tremendously help me in this practice.
