everything wrote:hmm never knew that and wish I did. I had my gallbladder removed, and from a TCM pov, the liver was the root cause, and now also has more work to do. my eyesight is anecdotally not quite as sharp now, but by coincidence it's also just that middle aged far sightedness thing.
Thought it should be helpful to connect qigong and TCM to modern knowledge, unfortunately I can't follow too many "science" words. I find they are a distraction from a practical point of view. I prefer my TCM and qigong theory straight up, not mixed with anything.
Taoist Seasons - Spring - Wood Element - Energy Arts
https://www.energyarts.com/taoist-seaso ... od-elementThis is the Spring compliance of qi (and) the cultivation of the Dao of sprouting. To oppose these principles injures the liver.
So in the spring time we take in lots of greens from the new shoots of energy from the sun.
So dandelion greens - considered a weed - actually are sold as gourmet.
Stinging nettles was the food source of Milarepa when he was not meditating in his cave - so his skin turned green.
The T'ai Chi symbol has the Universe as Green - because the Yin Qi of the Liver has "no substance" in alchemy - so when we die and turn into a "yin shen" ghost - this is still powered by the yin qi of the liver.
The left eye - for males - is the yin qi of the liver as the Hun Soul - also called Cloud Soul. It rises up easily and the qi turns to "steam."
Alchemically then the Red Dragon is the heart with the eyes open but with the eyes closed - the dragon is turned into a female as the Green Dragon - by going down to the small intestines - to ionize the neurohormones - the jing - to create Steam. So then the Yang qi rises up - due to the yin qi ionizing it. Normally the Yang Qi from the water descends as ejaculation.
So this is why the supposed myth that ejaculation causes blindness is actually true.
The right eye is the yang qi as the Po Soul - it originates from the lung energy. So you need strong reverse breathing to maintain celibacy - called Quick Fire. This causes the water to rise up - and so the Shen from the liver qi is beneath the water - the fire goes under the water - to create the steam.
Otherwise the Hun Soul goes out the eyes - and then the Po Soul will grab on to the Hun Soul - and so we lose energy out of our eyes - and we deplete our yang qi. This is what I did since I overused my qi to heal other people. haha.
But again - the spirit or shen originates out of the yin qi - and so this is why the Emptiness as the Universe is actually green.
Then when the yuan qi is activated - as the Mysterious Gate through the Ancestral Cavity - this is called Yellow Sprouts - so we can see yellow light as auras around other people.
So this means to have true intention - to use the spleen to do deep reverse breathing to sublimate the yang qi - along with the liver of the Red Dragon turned back around - so that the "yang" of the upper body is turned yin - since it's Inner component that powers the spirit is the liver yin qi.
So I like to buy spirulina - and this makes my eyes dark green - since my eye color is normally hazel light green. So also the dark chlorophyll from the magnesium acts as a photo-receptor to convert the light into electrochemical energy - and so protects us from UV radiation and converts sunlight into qi.
So by rotating the eyes around - we activate the yuan qi that emanates out of the pineal gland and so we can also then actually capture photon energy - just like a plant does with photosynthesis. So this is called sun gazing but only in the early morning is it done - and by looking at the sun - then your pineal gland turns the photons into qi energy directly. Then when you close the eyes you will see bright green light - even though the sun is not green. haha.
So the left eye is the dragon and the right eye is the tiger - and also our eyes send out the yuan qi and yuan shen when they are open. This is why a spiritual master can see someone's past lives - by looking into their eyes.
So the left eye and right eye have to "copulate" by rotating and this in turn "copulates" the heart with the kidneys - or the Fire with the Water alchemically. And if we keep building up the energy through celibacy and not letting the energy go out of the eyes - then we access the Yuan Shen through the Yuan Qi.
But if we lose the qi out of the eyes - this is called Evil Fire of the heart - so the eye balls will pulsate in resonance with the Schumann Ionosphere field with the Earth - the 7 to 9 pulsations per second. This is just as what birds do during migration - it's called the Quantum Zeno Effect. The Schumann energy field - creates a standing dielectric medium that then bends the photons - to use quantum entanglement of the relativistic mass of the light. This is how birds achieve migration - by converting the photons into electrochemical signals due to the "spin" of the photon which is relativistic mass - the phase wave of the photon is in the 5th dimension as virtual information or quasi-matter as superluminal momentum energy.
This is how the future and the past of light can be accessed via the Yuan Shen going into the Yuan Qi. So then the Yuan Jing can be restored - this is called the "golden key" of "yin matter" - as superluminal phonon energy. So the yin qi is accessed as "yin matter" that is phonon quasi-matter from the future. So you can have visions of the future that are more real than having your eyes open while awake. haha.
