http://ymaa.com/articles/generating-jin

Nei Kung can also be called Nei Jing.

not surprisingly the author is someone I already recommended
a book on. Please check out the link.

Ideas presented:

Yang Jin (aka Li-Qi) muscle strength
Ying Jin is relaxed muscles

The meditative mind increases the power of these

Brain wave monitoring

I have been meaning to buy this product.
Should be good to help reduce the heartbeat
which is another way of slowing down brain waves.
The product can help with meditiation.

Steps to Nei Kung and Meditation

I am not able to meditate for too long. It has been hit and miss, mostly miss but a few hits at least.

Take it to next level... I myself struggle with it, however the difficultly is all in the mind, and controlling your own mind.
Tips I have learned:
1)take the heart beat as low as possible and focus on breathing.
2)Sit lotus style.
3)Things that can disturb your meditation show how weak your meditation is.
For example: A dog barking outside for example, if that annoys you or provokes other thoughts, you have lost your meditation. The dog has more power in your mind than yourself!

4)Meditation is not concentration, it is de-concentration.
5) Touch the tongue to top of the mouth to connect chi path ways. This should be a relaxed effort, you may be breathing out exhaling through the nose at the same time.
6) focused de-focus .. use teeth clicking in a light and ultimately slowing pace in tune with the heart beat to enter total meditative state.
With the newly acquired book I have, mentioned in my previous post, they use the mind's attention center to meditate. I am not sure how effective the author has become at Nei Kung although his method may work to a certain level. Up to Level 1 it would reach is my thinking.
He mentions after some Nei Kung breathing meditation he is able to affect the flame of a candle by directing the Chi from his Dan Tien to his arms.
Anyway, his directions derive from the Wai Dan exercises I mentioned in the previous post. Chi flows with your attention and your breath. From the meditation, you are seeking to build up chi in the Dan Tien area.
It will flow from top to bottom and bottom to top. The body naturally produces chi and so we are trying to capture it and store it like a capacitor. Flows down the front and up the back.
Now the trick is to also clear the mind of everything, this is total relaxation, total freedom from anxiety. If you have high blood pressure it's hard to relax. I recommend dieting and exercise to lower blood pressure.
Meditation Directions:
Sit lotus style. close the eyes and empty your mind. Your mind is like water so it must be still. Take the mind to the breathing but do not focus too hard. Everything will become unfocused, but first you must use 1 thing to defocus the other. In this case we use breathing.
Breathe in, filling the lungs from the bottom to the top. When you feel calmed start clicking the teething lightly in a slow pace with the heart beat, the breathing has become defocused. We are using the teeth to defocus the mind from the breathing, we have moved on to the heart at this point. With each click of the teeth the heart gets slower and slower. The focus is on slower and slower. This in itself should lead you to a state of meditation where you are not focused on anything.
I have gone into this trance at the same time I was laying in bed starting to sleep. The meditation feels so peaceful I think my mind was on autopilot while i lay there. I eventually 'woke up' some hours later from my whole was tingling very strongly. It was honestly the strangest thing that ever happened to me, and what drives me on in my quest of knowledge in becoming an adept Chi practitioner and chart the unknown.
I know I do not have many visitors, but I'd like others to share their meditation practice methods. Please leave your comments :)

Tai Chi Exercise

I have learned new information about how to channel chi through normal tai chi exercises. This should be learned first before trying to learn NeiKung. Nei Kung is the build up Chi in the Dan Tien, a place 3 finger widths below the belly and 1/3 the way inside the body. Nei Kung is achieved through meditation. The Tai Chi can give the practitioner an immediate impact and feeling of chi to understand what Chi really is. Meditation is not required. I would say it feels like the increase of blood flow/saturation to a particular area of the body. The exercises work to give you power by training your blood vessel to work harder to work with the breath and give you this power. Example of the exercise: Stand with hands to the side, make fists but do not tense the fists hard. Breath in relax the fist, when you breathe out you imagine the fist getting tighter. I used the image of me holding very heavy weights in my arms, and when I breath in the weights lose all their weights. I repeated this 50 times. There are different poses, I would suppose these exercises were described by sixth century Buddhist Monk Da Mo in his book "Yi Gin Ching". I have read this information from a book you may buy here: Chi Kung ... the exercise I have described are in this book. It is very beneficial to my health already, and I can say I really do feel chi from these exercises.

Principle behind Chopstick Demo

I am embedding a video of the physical principle I believe can explain John Chang's chopstick demonstration in the previous post. In the video embedded here you will see a pendulum maintaining a balance against gravity. The vibrating of the saw back and forth is providing the force into the pendulum and straightening it against the outside force of gravity.(It could've been more stable if it was more fast!)
John Chang is doing a similar approach, Vibrational energy (yin) is given off from John Chang to the Chopstick strengthening it against the force that would normally bend and eventually break the chopstick when you push on it in. The vibration is molecular and invisible to the eye, and probably MUCH faster than the saw!

Pushing the chopstick through a table

A popular video on the internet is John Chang pushing a chopstick through wood like a man hammering in a nail, I will share my thoughts on what makes it possible. My theory is this is common physical phenomena makes it possible! Yet, John Chang himself is the amazing one to find the way to use the phenomena himself.

The concept of Chi/Qi/Ki

Known from Chinese traditional medicine, Chi, is referred to as an energy within our bodies. Living creatures possess the quality of chi. The concept is not proven under western science, and skeptics are abound with criticism of the concept. I am lead to believe in the concept of Chi because of my own eyes seeing it action.

The idea is that Chi travels through your body and gives relaxation or strengthto the individual. Open heart surgery without anesthesia ? (while the person is still awake!) It has and is still being done today in China. The concept of chi has been in China for some time, and culturally lead to their own practices based on the concept of chi. The method done in the open heart surgery is referred to as acupuncture. This is not exclusive to heart surgery, it has many applications.

Another source of chi practice is from yoga exercises. Maintaining tough stances increases the strength of flow of the chi in the body. A sign of this is the heat felt from exercises.

Combining the two, and seeking a connection between yoga type chi and acupuncture chi, my mind comes to the hypothesis: acupuncture helps chi move while yoga helps chi build up.
The heat is the sign of chi moving in the body, and acupuncture is for conducting the heat. Needles are inserted into the key locations of the body for the heat to move. They conduct heat outward from the body from the metallic properties of the needle. The body has natural mechanisms to maintain body heat, which work even at the cellular level. The stress is not so great to affect a large system of cells, they will place needles in the subject that are not heated or chilled (sometimes they will heat the needle to inject chi).
The importance here is two qualities of chi, heat and conductance of heat, one does not exist without the other.
It is like electric potential and copper wires. The electric potential will not create electricity without a conductor for it. Human bodies are natural conductors, the blood stream is our natural conductor carrying fluid around different temperatures distributing the temperature differences.
Placing needles into the body can affect the temperature of our conductor. People with ailments have the needles inserted to correct their problems, such as back pain. The chi is said to be 'blocked' and so the needle lets the heat out, the body cells then need to generate heat, the cells get energized and fix the pain and the problem.
