Kunlun Clarifications

Kunlun Nei gung not just one Practice

Kunlun Nei Gung, not just one practice.
I received some questions in regards to clarifications of Kunlun Nei Gung. This art was created by my efforts and the efforts of my various Taoist teachers that I have come to know through both my training and friendships with them.

I chose the name “Kunlun Nei Gung” because it represented the many aspects of my teachers’ philosophies. It embodies the idea of the path of no more learning and the image of the peak of the mountain or the top of the head. Kunlun Nei Gung was also representative of a path students could perfect without the dogma of other systems.

The name Kunlun Nei Gung reflects the personal arts and flavors of teaching of all my masters. Using this name allowed me to honor all my masters, instead of singling out one teacher and insulting the rest
There is a Taoist system called Kunlun Pai, but it is more of a martial art and a style of qi gong. In this system I have taught, I stress the underlying principles of my teachers, which show the practitioner how to be self-awakening, self-healing and self-knowing

In this system I have taught, I stress the underlying principles of my teachers, which show the practitioner how to be self-awakening, self-healing and self-knowing.

My masters all agreed that this name was representative of a system in which the practitioner could awaken themselves through their own efforts, a system that would build the practitioner’s character and bring forth a person who could then assist in the growth of others.

My systems are not the same in style, form or result as that of my teachers.

Kunlun in nature

Monday, April 5th, 2010

Today I would like to answer the question of doing Kunlun in nature. I myself like to do Kunlun in nature, near a waterfall because of the negative ions that come from the water splashing on the rocks, and the sun empowering the water. Breathe in the mist, feel the coolness of the water, experiencing the moment.

Another place is high up in the mountain where the Qi is cool and fine, much as in areas found in temples high in the mountains. Never go to a valley, where you see the mist settled below the flat of the land, we call this “poison qi”, the toxins that settled to the earth during the cool night, within this mist are various toxins that were suspended in the air from the day before.

I would find a log and sit down, first covering the place i would sit with a blanket for comfort, but making sure that I never would sit out in the sunlight of the mid-day sun, because of the negative aspects relating to the mid-day heat of the sun.

If your in the forest, sitting under an evergreen tree, such as a spruce, or pine or juniper tree is also great, because your magnetic field aligns with the tree, which also should be standing straight, never use a bent tree, also the evergreen filters your qi making you feel good, try hugging a tree, open the kunlun in the heart, and connect it with the tree, you may even feel a strong pull from the tree.

If you’re wanting to expose yourself to the sun and do kunlun, you can do this exposure either within one hour after sunrise, or one hour before the sun goes down.

The reason for this time is that the harmful Uv rays will not be present at this time, so the exposure to the skin is safe. I like doing kunlun at this time, exposing the bare skin to the arising or setting sun is healthy for you and the burning heat of the sun is not present , which is not really good for you.

When doing kunlun, or any of the methods I taught to you, keep the child-like nature, feel the wind, listen to the sounds of nature, and just let go and be “natural”, just being in the moment. and being ” no-where” as you let go.

Be careful that there are no rocks, or branches, or sharp objects where you are doing the methods, be safe, so you do not fall onto anything if you fall off your seat.

Remember you are nature, you came from nature, some of you may have fears of sitting alone in nature, if that is the case bring a friend to share in the experience, go out, do not speak, communicate by feeling, by your smiles, and enjoy what nature has to offer you…….

Kunlun and pregnancy

Sunday, February 7th, 2010

As of late, many kunlun practitioners have requested me to write on the subject of kunlun’s effects on pregnancy.

Well, let us start from the beginning, when the woman is very young, the glands are fully functional throughout most of her life, then after the first period, the glands are put into a state of external action, because of the body’s external and internal changes.

As life progresses, the monthly purification occurs, which at times is painful and sometimes not. This painful time of month, plus external factors, can weaken the glands and affect the kidneys, and since the kidney connects to eyes, via the qi flow, it has an health affect.

As a non-kunlun practitioner woman ages, the glands break down, the sexual drive slows or even disappears, and then comes menopause. After that, the use of medicine or herbs to help the woman through her changes, both mentally and physically, become necessary because the glandulars are not  working at their peak anymore.

Now you have learned kunlun, a regeneration method, which first regenerates the kidney functions, and then the glands start to rebuild themselves, first energetically through qi flow, and then through physical movement. If you are in menopause, sometimes, you will regain your monthly period, which by our method means the glands are becoming re-potentialized. Eventually, the period stops, like going in reverse from childhood to adult, the skin starts to smooth, the eyes become clear, and the muscles start to tone up.

This is a great thing, the glands are regenerated, your lost health returns, but again, you must practice correctly, and the mind intent must be youthful, and a physical movement must also be done, like walking or running.

Now, many women have found this regeneration has another affect,  since your glands are regenerating, you are also becoming even more fertile, like when you were young, other women who were never fertile have found themselves fertile, and also your sexual desires, and feelings are more developed.

It is important  for you to be non-attached to these new manifestations, it means you’re doing the right method for you. Remember, if you find yourself more fertile, use the proper preventatives, your kunlun energy makes you feel more sensual, it makes you more attractive to the opposite sex, so do not get lost in the sensual bliss-like feelings. Kunlun energy, plus your fully blooming glandulars, will make the regenerating woman feel like she is twenty-four again.

I have also been asked if you can practice kunlun while pregnant. I would advise you to do kunlun only to month six or seven, because the baby is preparing for it’s birth after that, and if you have had premature births, or if you should slip from your chair, it could bring complications, so be safe. Be responsible to yourself, have patience, a few months off will be good for you, and for your body to readjust. If you want to do some sort of  practice, do the one-breath method, it will help with the birthing, and is calming, during thoe many bodily changes.

I am not a doctor. If you are unsure about doing kunlun while pregnant, ask your doctor, whether physical exercise is ok for you. I can only give you the guidelines set by my teachers. So, common sense is important.

Be well…max
