在美华侨练功日记
很抱歉,我中文不太会写,用英文写我的日记. 希望能帮助海外的同胞们.

Today is the second day I am practicing chi. I am pretty much doing 3 to 4 times a day, and around 20 minutes each time. I use the sleeping sideways form to practice in the morning and before i go to sleep. During work and lunch time, i use the sitting stance.

Today I can feel slight heat around my upper stomach area when i breathout. The heat intensifies when i concentrate on breathing out. I am hoping it is not just a fluke or imagination.

Mental Notes: use lungs to breath in, and mentally forces a passage from throat to stomach when breathing out. It is weird to push chi into the stomach when you push air out of your body, but it seems to be working.

more later.

Next is the reply from 海外华侨版主：

It's ok for you to write in English, you are welcome!

Sure it's not just a fluke or imagination, it's real and proven by so many Zhen-Qi student.

Then the author's reply:

thanks for the support.

Third Day:
Today I finally figured out how to consistently concentrate on my upper stomach area and send every breathout "chi" I suppose to that area. My breathing has become very consistent. I can no longer hear or feel myself breathing "air" out of my nose, on the contrary, when i breath out, I feel that most of it is going to my stomach. My stomach is heating up during this practice, not to the point of going to step II yet. I am pretty much practicing 4 to 5 times a day now.

Then Mr. Haiwai Huaqiao's reply:

Well, I think you have achieved Step I and mastered the technique of breathing.

When
breathing out, just slightly think about your upper stomach area, says
only 30% of concentration or less, heating is not that important if
compare with "compress", feeling of compress is mean the upeer stomach
"Zhong Dan Tien" is full of Zhen Qi, and then Zhen Qi will
automatically flow down to the lower stomach "Xia Dan Tien". It's means
you will automatically get into Step II.(for those who practice at
home, this is a better method)

When you less concentrat, your
upper stomach may not as warm as usual, but it's ok, as I mentioned
just now : feeling of "compress" is more important.

And I would like to advise you to practice more than 20 minutes per session, may be more than half an hour to one hour( 3 sessions per day is sufficient)

The author's reply:

thanks! I will definitely keep that in mind. I am spending hours reading all the postings in this forum. It was kind of fuzzy to me how to approach step II, or step III and so on. I figured every step should go on to the next naturally. I will keep in mind on the word "compress" and let it naturally flow to the next step instead of me forcing it.

greatly appreciate it.

Mr. Chen's reply:

you are welcome.

We need a lot of material for English.

My reply:

Everything goes well with you.

If you have finished Step 1 well, the secnod step is easier to follow than the first step. So be confident tha tyou will be able to do it perfectly in step 2.

In Step 1, you focus on the upper stomach;

In step 2, move your mind from upper stomach to hypogastrium (Dantian), which is in the lower part and four fingers distance from navel. Attention: it is not a ponit but an area.

If you still have any question, please contact Zhenqi Institute or contact me.

Wish every success!

OK, I find the author's name: coder0000, but I am not sure whether he had left his contacting method.

Then the following is the remnant information I can find back:

Thank you for the details on step 1 and 2. I wrote down your contact information, i might really email you when chi blows up on me. LoL

Last night I felt the strongest chi movement from throat to upper stomach so I practiced 3 times and 40 minutes each time. The final practice was done laying down sideways on bed. Half way through I felt tingling sensations on my hands and lower back. First I thought it was a fluke, but it kept happening for another 3 or 4 minutes. What I am thinking is that the sensations are caused by heat inside my body cause i was feeling really hot inside-out. So no big deal.

Day 4 today.
I wasn\'t able to concentrate too well in the morning because I woke up at 5 am to squeeze in the morning practice before my golfing session. After golf, I did another 30 minutes of practice; however, everytime I feel the compression start to happen around my stomach, my mind drifts away and I have to start over. I think i just need to calm down and let nature take its course instead of trying to rush to step II.

Need quick help.

I tried exercise with my mouth closed for the first time. I felt intense pressure inside my mouth after a while. My question is, should i do this with my mouth shut or my mouth semi-open??? I can\'t find any sources that suggest the correct choice.

thanks!!!

Whole body must relax. so the mouth shall close naturally.
