Grounding should be practiced at least three times a week.

Grounding is a simple exercise which should be practiced at least three times a week.

- Sit down or stand up, whatever is comfortable for you.

- Close your eyes or leave them open, and begin your breathing cycles. 

- Once you obtain a good rhythm, imagine roots leaving your feet and sinking deep into the earth. 

- With every inhalation, imagine green (positive) energy coming up the roots from the earth into your dan tien. 

- When you exhale imagine red (negative) energy coming out of your mouth.

Continue with this process until you feel you have gathered enough. 

You will find that with practice your chi control will grow impressively.

I am getting weird vibrations around my body, what is this?

Always listen to your body. The slightest vibration can mean that chi is flowing. A lot of the times when you first try this you do not experience results. Fear not, through practice you will be able to.

These reports generally indicate that there is just a greater presence of snakes in their lives all of sudden, in the form of pictures, dreams, conversations, TV shows, books, etc. There are also the more incredible stories regarding snakes, especially cobras, and those with awakened Kundalini . An example of this is the cobra that would often visit U.G. Krishnamurti at night at his house.  This cobra would hiss and bang at the door and

3 Tao Longevity Practices (Free Instructions and Video)

Turtle Breathing Qigong  – Longevity Practice Taoists were greatly concerned with promoting longevity and became renowned for their longevity practices.

Adrenal glands sit on top of the kidneys and produce adrenaline that participates in the body’s fight/flight/freeze response and cortisol that stimulates stress. Long-term adrenaline and cortisol over production, partly brought on by chronic fear , can lead to adrenal burnout and chronic fatigue.
