Do you meditate during storms?

[Asteriskos]

You're making yourself out to be much more effective than you actually are, just because I'm pointing out your childishness and lack of taste for a very real man's death doesn't mean I'm angered or upset, only SkullTraill can manage to twist my knickers.

You aren't even quoting me, I never used the word heresy. Overall I think my message was impassive and neutral, you yourself are just upset by the contents, believe me I edited it quite a bit to hold back even my impassive snark to avoid getting a PM from the mods. I have to point out that I'm incredibly disappointed with this conversation, rather than discuss the ideas I've laid out, you've chosen to try and attack my character to undermine what I've said. And frankly your opinion is delusional, it isn't worthy getting upset over because I simply don't respect it.




You don't understand meditation, so your perspective is warped. It's a good tool but it's also foundational, you can even use the words "meditation" and "trance" interchangeably because both require dedicated focus. If you cannot control your mind or thoughts according to your will, you will have a hard time getting effective results and it can actually be very dangerous not to have this type of self-control at higher level Work.

What does this even mean.

You don't understand a fraction of what you just wrote, I would be honored if you would block my posts!
I have no desire to engage in a flame fest with you. It's very easy to accidentally upset your apple cart, it's not worthwhile engaging with you on any level, My POV. It's alright though, merely push the Block Button, it's so.... Easy! I'm going to practice what I preach now, don't know why it took this long?

Typically no. My previous Sifu warned against it, especially if cultivating.

*during thunder and lightning storms, when excessive yang qi is generated, which can be unstable and unpredictable. Advanced Neidan practitioners can use these storm for their benefit, sure. For beginners or dabblers it’s not advised.

Typically no. My previous Sifu warned against it, especially if cultivating.

yea, to be clear it’s was warned against during lightning simply due to unstable yangqi being generated. It’s mostly for beginners in Neidan. Thunder Rites are a noted and bad ass, but if you have “bamboo” fingers it will increase chances of be struck by lightning (as per Jason Read “Thunder Magick” Maoshan tradition)

Typically no. My previous Sifu warned against it, especially if cultivating.

yea, just to clarify. For beginners of Neidan, Inner Alchemy, etc cultivating during a lightning storm is not recommend as excessive yangqi is generated and can be unpredictable. Obviously LeiFa (Thunder Rites) are powerful and utilized by advanced lineage initiates even outside of Taoist traditions. As per some traditions (according to Jason Read of the MaoShan tradition) states those with “bamboo fingers” should not practice Thunder Rites at all. Learning to control the elements is also practiced in other traditions. I’ve personally only ever been able to lessen extremely strong winds and rain during a walk home- which I thought was pretty darn dope. Oddly, and massive Thunder Storm just rolled through Edmonton as I typed this reply! lol

During storms, Meditation is much better, easier and more effective than in ordinary conditions of complete calm...
How is this explained during a storm, the wind helps a lot. That is, it makes you act, move, undertake something, do it and. There is an element of unpredictability, an element of That this will happen, or. Will this happen something and? This begins to activate our magical max abilities. Automatically and in addition to meditative states, something else can manifest depending on circumstances, situations and events...

We just recently had a very strong hail with wind and rain, and I used it for good, that is, I collected a little rain from the strong hail - Now I use it for healing and restoration.
