Hi,
Quick question: - I went to a Falun Dafa Qi Gong meeting tonight.
Falun Dafa differs from other Qi Gong practices in that it is solely
meant for attaining enlightenment, and health and vitality are a
consequence of the practice, but not the goal in itself.
I was speaking to the women who runs the group, who apparently spent 14
years teaching various forms of Yoga, and she says that there is no
correlation between the energy systems of yoga (indian understanding of
energy: kundalini and chakras etc.) and Falun Dafa's energy system. The
process of kundalini ascending through the body then into the crown does
not exist or make sense in this form of Qi Gong.
Apparently 'master' (i.e. the founder of Falun Dafa who is still alive)
looks after all Falun Dafa practitioners and that as a result of
practicing this form of Qi Gong, I may notice one of two things: either
my energy system my blow open, or, alternatively I may notice all the
wild activity I've been experiencing lately suddenly die down as the
master takes control of my body and 'locks' certain aspects of the
energy process until I've attainted the right level of spiritual
developed through Qi Gong cultivation.
OK, I can accept all the energy subsiding, but what I can't understand is: -
A living person could really have control over this ??? I admit I know
nothing about life and it may be that I just can't see things the way
spiritually evolved beings can But how can this really be possible? Can
'master' control the energy systems of all 20 million (?) world wide
falun dafa practitioners, without ever physically coming into contact
with them!?
Also ... that this phenomena or bodily energy configuration is unique to
this form of Qi Gong, and that the process of kundalini rising is
something totally different. I thought that kundalini was a biological
phenomena and that these systems (Qi Gong, Kundalini, bioenergetics
etc.) try to understand the phenomena and have techniques for initiating
and working with it, but ultimately, it's all the same thing. Could I
be wrong here?
Mildly confused and also very curious! =)
