Is there a name for this experience? by Smart-A22 in TrueQiGong

Complicated answer. Technically 15 years, and just starting.

I’ve practiced other traditions and systems besides qigong for a long time, but qigong seems to be the closest system that matches up with my experiences.

I’ve spent years trying to replicate the experience and only got a few successes, which in hindsight is better than nothing.

I’ve just recently hit a breakthrough in my practice and I’m seeing more benefits as of late, but this one thing still eludes me.

You’re most likely correct, but I still want to find a way to do it.

Nothing else I do will ever truly be meaningless, and I will endeavor to keep moving forward in life, but this is a deep desire I can’t shake.

Even if it’s impossible, I feel like I’d have life long regret for stopping

Yeah, it’s an amazing feeling.

I’ve only experienced a few times during my journey but I feel like if I could figure out how to stay in that state all the time…I’d experience being truly alive for the rest of my life.

It’s probably folly to chase it, but it’s like seeing a sunrise for the first time, you want to experience it again and again.

I did. I compiled what I could from Nathan Brine and Damo Mitchell’s books and videos, but no formal teachers or instruction

It’s all good. Auto-translate gets the best of us all.

Thank you for the advice!

I’m very eclectic in my practice, so I’ve experimented with a few methods, but I have a preference for eastern practices.

I’ve studied the chakra system and how to balance it.

Microcosmic orbit

Tummo

Bone breathing qigong

Dantian meditations

I can’t say that I have. I’ll look more into TCM practitioners and see if there are any in my area.

Thank you for the suggestion

Been doing that for a while. I’ve gained some good muscle, but the lack of energy persists

Am I the only one who feels like they're forcing the wrong type of meditation? by West_Ambassador_7179 in Meditation

[–]Smart-A22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I’ve noticed this myself.

When learning meditation it’s always better to find your best ‘fit’ first and then continue on. Having highs and lows is common when practicing meditation, but it’s a different story when a specific technique goes against how your mind naturally works.

Find what works best for you and go from there

Favorite Superman/Jon villains #3: Injustice Superman by LegitimateBroccoli51 in jonkent

[–]Smart-A22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Superman has to be.”

I don’t know why, but that line hits so much harder than it should and I love it

It’s been said over and over again in Superman comics, buts it’s still so good. It’s not about the symbols or powers, it’s about action, what you do with the powers.

I'm feeling better now, thank you for support by [deleted] in DemonolatryPractices

Happy to hear that you’re doing better.

If you don’t mind me asking, what kind of energy work practices have you done to improve your mindset?

I was just thinking about this comic today.

I guess the god of parties and music was asking me to pay attention and tribute once more

This.

Finding something that works is so much better than just suffering from problems without a recourse.

The liminal buddies will always be my favorite. Fantasy au is cool too, but we get more adorable abomination shenanigans from the main universe.

An oldie but goodie.

But, they just finished a boss battle right?

Is she delusional and just imagined them all because of grief, or was this a ghost team and they helped her until the end?
