Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ Spring Forest Qigong Drinking Water and Going to the Bathoom

Probably a silly question but in the Level 1 course Master Lin talks about not going to the bathroom (it releases qi) and not drinking water (it’s like splashing water on a fire) after doing the active exercises or the sitting meditations. My question is for how long should you wait after the meditation?

Also, is it drinking any water or just cold water?

Aloha GayBard,

Check out P. 30 in the Level I manual. When he says "exercise" you can think "meditation" as well.

Thanks. I had read p. 30, but somehow hadn't remembered that it had the time frame on it. I will have to re-read the whole manual to see what else I've glossed over... :-)

Hello Gaybard,

I think that 15mns is a reasonable time to wait. That's how long I waited after
did a Yoga exercise.

Actually, Master Lin recommends 30 min.
