Here I'll post a new energy work thread by the Crimson Alchemy Guild.
Feel free to come here and discuss your own energy cultivation experiences and practices.
I'll stick around to answer questions and share ideas that I feel are necessary.

For the microsmic orbit or energy cycling. From the tailbone up the spine then down the body is yang and reverse is yin. Use either depending on your needs.
MCO is cyclical kundalini at a lower voltage.

I believe the traditional method of centre cultivation goes
Qi Condensation - Gathering qi in the sacral chakra or ldt
Foundation Establishment - Focusing on the root to consolidate it and fix stability issues.
Core Formation - Focusing in the naval to build a core of focus
Nascent Soul - Focusing in the heart area or mdt to spiritualize your energy.
Immortal Ascension - Focusing in the head dan tien.

I'm intrigued by the Crimson Alchemy Guild. Do you guys do combined ops stuff or just focus on your members' individual work?

>>2458
There's the choice to do group stuff like rituals, meditations, etc.
Some of us do divining and empathic work which you can get a reading in, we also do wizard battles together to challenge our abilities.
Other than that I can't speak of what else we do.

To where I've mentioned the ldt as around the hips, change that to around and inside the pelvis. Feel out for those two wide bones under your gut and above the hip joints and inside there is your key.

So my chakras are open and I came to a realization:
On normal cultivation you gather the yin energy from above and the body energy acts like the yang energy. But I realized that if you gather energy from the earth (yang), from the feet and mix with the energy from heaven (yin) from the head and make them mix @ lower Dantien, the energy gathered is much bigger.
Thoughts on that?

>>2520
That is a wide scale technique. You can absorb energy externally similar to what you said. You will soak up and make the area dead though if you go too hard. A good balanced will let things flow.

>>2521
I see, thank you, better be carefull then

>>2520
But yang comes from above and yin from the Earth.

>>2523
It's that I don't use this name and don't know of your pratice. But it doens't really matter since both are different energies that you use to create, that much is truth in any pratice, this is what is important.
But Yin coming from the heaven and yang coming from Earth seems more correct. Because yin is a more ethereal energy and yang is a more material energy. Male is will, female is act. Male is spirit, female is body. So it doens't make much sense to think that energy that comes from the Earth is more "masculine" than the energy that comes from heaven and it is the same with the "feminine" energy.

>>2525
I think you got the terms swapped, but the energies correctly identified that's all. Yin is female, dark, cold, receptive, productive and comes from the Earth. Yang is masculine, light, hot, projective, willful and comes from Spirit.
We are in agreement about the energies, but I think you're mistaken about the words. I think if you look them up you'll see.

>>2527
Perhaps they just had a little misunderstanding.
Or they're specifically drawing central heat and cold air, the reverses.

>>2527
Oh....Ya...I think that's right

>>2528
>drawing central heat and cold air, the reverses
Does this work?
------
Do you know how long I have to wait for not deplete yin energy from earth on the same spot? Would it be better to just go and gather where energy naturally clean itself like on water sources or the sea?

>>2530
Yes it works. You feel the cold of the wind and the heat of a hotspring or volcano wouldn't you?

Different areas give different energies. Go to the corresponding location for a 10-20% bonus.

>>2531
I see, thx.

Is it normal when you gather a certain ammount of energy on LD to it to parcially block the flux of energy from upper and lower body? If I cultivate to make it to not block the path will I limit the capacity of gathering? Or it just I am "full" and should do something about it?

>>2533
Oh...nvmd, discovered it.

Here is an update to show the naval center in the first picture

New guide here for the intermediary students.
At this point of practice you need to figure out your own path. This means you can take some of the info here and apply it to what you want to do.

I've simplified things down a bit but all you need is the basic idea. If you can't understand it then you need more internal practice.

Please fix the first failure on posting images bug.

Remember your positives and negatives for elemental manipulation.
I find cold is negative and relaxed while hot is tense.
Same with densities too. You'll want to match whatever you're working with or want to make.
Later on you can break these rules.

what do when it feels like my lower dan tien isn't absorbing energy anymore

>>2727
Assuming you're lying down, put a hand with soft pressure over your lower stomache then try to breathe so that this part rises a couple of times.
Next try taking a full breathe again!

>>2730
it seems to have went away on its own but ill try that if the problem comes up again, ty
