Chi Kung experiment: Day 2

So, a second day of Chi Kung experiment is over so let's sum the day.

First of all, I have to admit I really like the feeling right after the Tao Yin exercise. The whole idea of cleansing the energy channels (meridians) and then getting in more chi is very interesting. I also like that Tao Yin is really a meditation exercise, buzzing sound (Nada) and vision of a color appearing out of nowhere and then disappearing in the middle is part of the experience. This is something I always missed in Five Tibetan rites, they are great for cleansing and physical exercise as well, just the meditation part seems to be missing (at least in my experience).

Tin Kuang exercise today made me a little bit dizzy, hard to say why. I either overdo the breathing or doing this exercise in a moving vehicle is not a good idea, but hell, if I can do pranayama in the bus, tin kuang should be no problem either.

Other exercises
I was a little bit ahead of myself today and wanted to add more exercises to the list. Specifically Yen-Chi (swallowing of Chi), Pi-Chi (holding of Chi) and Nei-tan (microcosmic orbit). I think I have to take things nice and easy at least this week, keeping just Tao-Yin, Tin Kuang and Tao Chi (basic chi breathing exercises). But I do plan to use part of Tao-Yin wisdom for massages.

Quick note
I should check where the name meridian comes from because it seems in Chinese these paths are called simply Ting.

Simple Sumerian Banishing Ritual

In this simple ritual we will call two entities that were given to Marduk. Nariluggaldimmerankia, guardian of Igigi and Annunaki, enemy of all maskim and rabishu, and we will also call Asaruludu, ruler of the flame sword, giver of the perfect defense. I am a bit tired now to give any more details, so here we go: 1) Face north and take a couple of deep breaths 2) Center and ground yourself (as described in How to begin with practical Magick article) 3) Call the word of Nariluggaldimmerankia, the word is BANRABISHU. Call this word to each direction, when you are done, turn back to north. This should clean the space of all negative energy, no matter if it consisted of negative emotions like anger, fear, frustration, negative entities like demons, larvae or some curse. 4) Call the word of Asaruludu. Proceed the same way as in step 3, call his word in each direction. His word is BANMASKIM. 5) Enjoy the effects. This ritual is very simple, words of power can be easily memorized and

Art of Shinobi: Simple Protection Ritual

Introduction I made my mind to slow down during holidays and return to my old hobby from the childhood: ninjas. As an occultist I have found few jewels. These jewels certainly weren't created by ninjas, but they were extensively used by them, given by the time, place and tradition. Kuji Kiri Kyu - nine Ji - syllable(s) Kiri - cut(s) Kuji Kiri is a simple ritual of doing nine cuts in the air with your hand, each of them being associated with one syllables. Sorted syllables and meanings associated in Ninjutsu are: RIN - power PYO (or HYO or KYO) - energy channeling TOH - harmony (with the universe) SHAH - healing of self and others KAI - intuition, sense of danger JIN - telepathy, reading thoughts of others (can also be used for suggestion) RETSU - control of space and time ZAI - control of heaven and earth (control of elements) ZEN - enlightenment To say more of the syllables we would have to mention its chinese origin and I am not really a histo
