Practice of Vipassanas concentration on breath helps me to understand primordial breathing otherwise I would still not understand , this is what they teach worldly on goenka retreats, thank you for helping to put peace’s together! I mean on Vipassana you focus on breath and slow breathing for 3-4 days then you apply gathered concentration into further exercises, then they say that ideal breathing is the one that just comes in and out automatically, since I felt this state I can imagine how to apply your instructions better.
This knowledge is so valuable, I have been burning the San Bao ingredients for years with over concentration, thank you for the clear teaching and the compassion to share your insightful information. Here is a vision analogy: to heat the burner do not stare directly at it, but rather use your peripheral vision to keep it within your awareness.
good description. I note that both post and primordial breathing are going on in the human body, once you have been born, until death. it's more a process of recognizing it and helping it to function more fully. at least, that's been my experience of it. a lovely and very life affirming thing to learn and practice. upgrades my bagua training in very nice ways as well.
Iam going through the videos carefully one by one, And now by 4. things are starting to get very interesting. I have practiced buddhist meditation for years, and to many it would appear to be the same, . . There are however subtle, important differences, both to applied technique and attitude that makes a big difference. The goals are different, something that becomes evident in the gentle and sensitive treatment of body, mind and energies in these teachings. Thank you.
Nice sifu I never renew these distinctions before I hope,that it will help me as I practice. I know the mind leads the chi so it makes sense that where you focus energy chi will arrive. I will meditate on this and rewatch to catch details thank you
Referring to your concept of Fire in the video, My interest is in applying the Fire to a movement, so when practicing Tai Chi there are any number of dynamic movements that could be practiced. for example a punch if practiced slowly is aimed at improving the technique, not the speed or the power. Therefore focusing the mind to visualise the correct action during and covering the time the action takes to unfold could be applying Fire. The obvious result would be that in doing so I would not be doing Xiu Dao. This leads to the question of how would the Tai Chi and Xiu Dao interact ? or am I confusing apples and pears. Cheers from Ian on the West Coast of Australia.
Hai Yang Thank you very much for making these videos. I have been practicing the neijia for many years along with internal cultivation but I have never found an approach to the internal cultivation which has been laid out as systematically as you are doing here. I am watching all of your videos on this topic and I am very interested in learning more about it from you. In regards to this video, I can see that there are some missteps I have made within my own practice.
Thank you for your comment. Actually, it helps me as well when I am making these videos since it helps me to organize my practice and experiences as well.
…Thank you for your video presentations. I learn quite a lot from the tenure of your own training/expertise as well as from the references to primary source materials that I would never have access. My question then relates to your multiple use of the very western word of Alchemy in this video. The word is basically Arabic pertaining to an Egypto-Greco heritage of the Hermetic tradition(s). As I develop my own training/practices with both external/internal practices, I am very curious of the Chinese/Daoist term for the similar stove/burner/distillation process of the psychospiritual process of `alchemy’ so often referenced in the literature of Carl Jung. The Daoist term will have subtlety of connotation and a cryptic implication which is not found in the literalness of the western word of `alchemy’. There is one native speaking Chinese person I work-out with who does not have the familiarity with the references. He is unable to answer my question pertaining to the Daoist term of equivalency for the word alchemy
Great video Shifu...internal alchemy is a fascinating topic for me as I have been practicing it for many years now...my question to you is when is the most appropriate time to practice in order to get best results, and does diet have an impact on the "fire" inside the body?
Morning is best time unless you have some imbalances. Don't do it if there is a storm, lightning, eclipse, full stomach, bad mood.... Only in clean areas. Eat according to seasons. eg root vegetables in winter. Its a complex topic when it comes to diet. Stay away from fry foods and very oily foods. Or too much spicy foods. Avoid too much cold drinks and water. Warm or hot water is good for you. Avoid too much noodles. Its very dampening. Hurts spleen chi. Not too much dairy causes phlegm. Etc.
Thanks for video :) A feedback occurred to me while watching: when inserting text of pinyin terms it would be very nice if you also put the accents for proper tones.
Each one of these videos is a masterpiece. Thank you for sharing this knowledge and especially the practices with us. 🙏🙏

I like how you operationally define terms and use language .

Good input. I will find a chance to answer these questions. Thanks,
thank you.
You're welcome.
Amazing once again thanks

Hai Yang In the future can you describe pore breathing I’ve heard of this but never really inderatoouit. Would appreciate it if you can
He needs to open up Hai Yang University.

Hai Yang

Hello, I am very happy to know that different systems have similar practice.
Great video Shifu...internal alchemy is a fascinating topic for me as I have been practicing it for many years now...my question to you is when is the most appropriate time to practice in order to get best results, and does diet have an impact on the "fire" inside the body?
In my opinion, anything can be relevant.
Morning is best time unless you have some imbalances. Don't do it if there is a storm, lightning, eclipse, full stomach, bad mood.... Only in clean areas.
Eat according to seasons. eg root vegetables in winter. Its a complex topic when it comes to diet. Stay away from fry foods and very oily foods. Or too much spicy foods. Avoid too much cold drinks and water. Warm or hot water is good for you. Avoid too much noodles. Its very dampening. Hurts spleen chi. Not too much dairy causes phlegm. Etc.
Well, it is your opinion.
@@HaiYangChannel yes yes of course its just my opinion.
The terms 'primordial' and 'postmordial' seems to carry some of the same meaning as 'unconsious' and 'consious'
Yes, and it depends on the context...
Thanks for video :)
A feedback occurred to me while watching: when inserting text of pinyin terms it would be very nice if you also put the accents for proper tones.
I will figure out how to do it.
Thank you, Hai Yang for your hard work!
What are the differences between WiFi mediation and Xiu Do mediation, is Qigong practice similar to Xiu Dao?
Where are the videos where you explain Burner and Stove more in-depth? if you could be so kind as to point me in that direction.
