DMP #35 - The Qigong Body Method

Not a failed podcast by any means. If people were honest/disillusioned about where they actually are in the practice, and what they are willing to put in and which results they wish to achieve, everyone across the board would be better. So many people truly believe that their level is the pinnacle of qigong/ Chinese medicine/ spirituality and never saw anyone demonstrate a higher skill and understanding. Thank you for the illuminating podcast.

Thanks Damo for presenting the steps that are required to develop ourselves and the path one must take, priceless.

Definitely a great podcast, I find a different kind of deeper yin type power in the method for example in your instructional + demonatrated videos to move the qi down, and to nourish the kidneys. It's directly in line with my own personal life work and transformation, healing out of the soul-denying culture of go-go-go , produce-produce-produce, and the-only-reality-is-the-externally-observed-one. When you mentioned in this podcast that more advanced qi gong creates an expanding, stretching, and filling of cavities (with qi) inside the body, it kind of surprised me because that's exactly what I'm Intending to create inside my body, specifically on the right side of my body, since it has appeared to contract heavily , across numerous tissue types and across various organs . Top podcast mate .

Damo thankyou, I really apreciate your kindness and willingness to help others. You have been the best thing that i've discovered online and I am still grateful for that fateful day. Training within your school has been a joy and the seniors that you've helped train are delightful human beings.

First 😆

Hi Damo, thanks again for your podcasts as I find the information invaluable! I learn so much from what you are saying. 🌟

Your talks are so incredibly insightful. It’s like drinking from a fountain of knowledge. Thank you!🙏

This is what we westerners miss most about learning internal skills. Stages of development and their point. Maybe it's just a need of my mind :) and now it's satisfied. Thank you! 🙏

You seem like a gracious and kind person. Thank you for sharing such a wealth of knowledge. It is valued and appreciated. Please take care of yourself so this knowledge can be shared for years to come. 🙏🏽

It wasn't a failed podcast, I learned a lot 🙂

Some advice from The Buddha passed on by a seventy three year old: The Buddha says, ideally, you want to make your mind like a broken gong. People can hit it, but there’s no reverberation. 🙏

Thank you Damo for holding the space.... Hats off to the effort you have put into this and your dedication....

Hey Damo , big thanks again for grappling with needed , tricky explanations, much appreciated as ever 🙏🙏🙏

You gave a very good explanation why at the beginning you don't practice Taijiquan very slowly like 'slow motion'...the 'slow' speed occurs at a higher level when the quality arises from within...and for you, actually it doesn't seem slow at all because there are many events and the moment is full.

Thanks for sharing Damo.

Qigong for me in the beginning was discovering the present moment. A state where the mind is not thinking anymore, but there is independent joy and a curious awareness of the inner and outer merged as one. Mindfulness 😊 Always thankful for your teachings, Damo 🙏 - Paul

Thank you - very helpful!

Thank you for your continued excellent and grounded input into Qigong. It brings to mind an experience in the mid nineties on a seminar with the then head of the Yang Family in London. It had been organised by a teacher and author of Yang Style Taijiquan. His disappointment in how the majority of those present - a large hall packed to the gills - were not aligned nor integrated in their movement was obvious from his body language and what he had to say, the interpreter was very diplomatic . A day I will always remember so thank you again for bringing back the memories. Raymond

Thank you for this video. I always agree with your explanations and as a LNG member it's wonderful to have genuine, knowledgeable and correct assistance on the path

I think I’m getting to understand your sense of humor 😂 VERY informative podcast and you provided so much clarity for this Westerner whose a fanatic for Antiquity & the Roots of systems. Thank you for allowing us into your Mind Damo, extremely grateful. 🙏🏾
