Should be good to help reduce the heartbeat

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.
