Howdy All,
I just have a few questions about when to do chi gathering and which one to do; the long version or the short version.
On my days off, I do the following:
First, I do Level 1 for various aches and pains, then I do the long version of gathering chi (massaging kidneys, tapping arm meridians), then I do the exercises to increase flexibility in my hips and legs.
Next, I do Level 2, then sit in the half-lotus for an hour of the microcosmic orbit. Finally, I end with the simplest of the two Chi gathering methods, i.e., massaging the ears, rotating the head.
So, would it be better if I waited until I was done with Level 1, Level 2, and the sitting meditation before I do any chi gathering? If so, should I do the long version or short version.
I have a chronic knee problem, so I'm not ready to abandon the level 1 exercises just yet. And I think the Level 2 work along with the sitting is helping me a great deal when I work on others.
I've learned a lot just lurking on the forum, and do appreciate any replies or suggestions.
Sincerely,
Jay
