Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ Spring Forest Qigong Noob question

I mean, what do you think gives most for being happy? If you had to choose only one method to do. I do both and will always do, 34 min with SFQ and one hour meditation each day.

According to taoism (and others), they emphasize the importance of the inner organs influence on peoples feelings and physical condition (which seems to be what SFQ also does), while the buddism says that meditation is the King road to God.

Aloha JohnA,

My answer would be whatever is needed at the time. Yes, in later levels there aren't active exercises and it focuses on the sitting meditations. Even at this level, there are times when the active exercises are where one needs to be.

After you've done Levels one and two for a while, and are doing pretty well physically, consider doing the Virtual Compass from Level Two - not only for the best direction to face for your current session, but for the best exercise/meditation for you at that moment. Trust what you get and do it - even if it's one that you'd rather not do.

Some will think I'm ducking your question, but I think you'll understand what I'm saying. There is balance in everything: yin/Yang as well as passive/Active meditation.

Much Love, Shawn

Thank you

I understand well what you mean. I haven`t put myself into those type of meditations yet...doing another type of practise so I may have something to look forward to.
I have read that the basic exercises in Level 1 needs to be done the whole life. I have the impression that Lin does it

Aloha JohnA,

You could be a Level Three, Four, Five, etc. student, or a master and Chunyi would still recommend doing the Small Universe meditation.

Once you build the energy in your lower dantian and start to do the Level Two active exercises, you'll revisit the Level One exercises if you find yourself ill.

Much Love, Shawn
