Steven’s Reviews > Daoist Internal Alchemy Neigong & Weigong Training > Status Update

Shelving this book because it's more of a reference book than anything. I'm focusing on my Buddhist practice right now, so maybe I'll come back to this book once I sign up for qigong or kung fu lessons.

We're making our way through the finer points of Daoist posture training. Your anus is a vacuum (for energy)!

Breath work, sounding, sexual vampirism, oh my!

Having done Buddhist breath practices in the path, I can already tell that these qigong breath exercises are extremely, extremely powerful. My guru says that qigong practice will be immensely beneficial to my anuttarayoga practices, so I can't wait to give some of these a try! Another thing that I'm realizing is that I have to develop my lower dantian, which admittedly I have neglected for a while.

Daoist external alchemy is crazy! There's a reason that you should not eat mercury and that reason is that you will die

My first impression of this book is that it's incredibly detailed. Each page is double-columned with 10-point font, kind of like the Bible. I'm 77 pages in and I just got through the mostly introductory stuff. Can't wait to get to actual technique
