Great work

Then the book that solely focuses on the alchemy from the small universe is “Taoist Yoga: Alchemy and Immortality” trans. by Charles Luk. This is is very complicated — I got to chapter 10 in the practice — or so. It’s like a cook book — you practice the book and you are transformed. I got to the week of pure meditation — no food, just half a glass of water.

But after that the energy was too intense and I couldn’t follow the book because it was too complicated! haha. Now I know that when the book says generative force it also means negative vitality — both are jing or electrochemical energy felt as blissful heat. Positive vitality is the chi or electromagnetic force which is also negative spirit. Positive spirit is when the light as shen energy is so strong that it creates telekinesis or transforming matter — which is then called prenatal vitality and is the same as jing. So the generative force is also the prenatal vitality. I’d have to double check but alchemy starts and ends with jing and the terms overlap plus there are more factors. It’s a fascinating book – I gave my copies away to encourage others to investigate.

But in the end the book keeps practicing the small universe until the person makes another physical body and then after traveling around the universe doing healing, etc. (while his first body is in meditation) he then makes his first body completely disappears and his spirit is immortal after that.

To be honest this part confuses me because Master Nan, Huai-chin (an author I discovered RIGHT after my week long bigu fast) states that even if you can travel into outerspace you’ll have immortality for a long time but eventually there’ll be some cosmic catastrophe, destroying the galaxy. And maybe the whole universe — that’s exactly what Advaita Vedanta teaches that only the emptiness or pure awareness as consciousness is real — that any immortal energy as matter or spirit is temporary. That even the whole universe is an illusion.

This is what Taoist Yoga calls “eternal nature” and the book ends and begins with “eternal nature” but doesn’t elaborate on it.

I personally haven’t had earth-shattering results. I’m a martial artist, I’m in peak physical health, have a pure diet, and took up Spring Forest Qigong to cure, *note* cure, asthma. I’ve had it since childhood.

I did notice an increase in cardiovascular health, with new veins showing up and those types of benefits. On the other hand, I do still get asthma a bout as infrequently as I usually do (I have to use an inhaler to sleep maybe once a month).

I’ve been practicing pretty much daily for about 3 months now.

Have you personally tested it out? I was a little disappointed thus far, even though I’m going to continue practicing. I figured a respiratory ailment, of all the ailments there are, would be benefited the most by an increased circulatory system. It didn’t really do anything thus far.
