Re: Qigong - Standing Like A Tree, Breathing Like A Buddha
Standing on stake in one position helped me with severe pain and limited
mobility of my arms.
Once you get past the intense shaking at 8-10 minutes it gets easier and
working up to 45 is when things started to get better fast.Relaxing is key.
Garchen Ronpoche was asked if it would be ok to visualize seed
syllables while standing on stake Qigong and he said it was not
a good idea to mix them.

Re: Qigong - Standing Like A Tree, Breathing Like A Buddha
Never thought of combining qigong and sadhana practice. I always thought of qigong as a great way to train in mindfulness and also prolong healthy portion of life a bit. I think it is perfect secondary practice, doesn't lead to enlightenment by itself, but can create the needed foundation.
“Observing samaya involves to remain inseparable from the union of wisdom and compassion at all times, to sustain mindfulness, and to put into practice the guru’s instructions”. Garchen Rinpoche
For those who do virtuous actions,
goodness is what comes to pass.
For those who do non-virtuous actions,
that becomes suffering indeed.

Re: Qigong - Standing Like A Tree, Breathing Like A Buddha
Every temple and monastery under Thich Tinh Tu teaches stick qigong, and for just those reasons: an activity that uses the whole body that helps to promote mindful engagement with the body and environment, health for the joints and tendons specifically, and some light discussion on energy work is covered too. It's an excellent supplemental practice.Miroku wrote: ↑Tue Mar 13, 2018 11:05 am Never thought of combining qigong and sadhana practice.

as we are exercising our mind, the body also needs to be strong to follow the path.Miroku wrote: ↑Tue Mar 13, 2018 11:05 am Never thought of combining qigong and sadhana practice.
