Continue sharing with us about the Theory of Chi and Jing...
I will share my little tid bit and you may correct or add upon as you see fit!
There are three main types of Chi
There is the
Prenatal or Primordial Chi which is inheredited by the parents Through conception and compulation. The Chi is derived from the congential essence of the parents which is substance it takes to make and embryo IE Spearm and Egg(Menstrual blood/zygote). After birth the Congential Jing is stored in kidneys to promote development of reproductive system as wall control and maintain it. The second Formation of Chi comes from the very foods you eat. The food you eat is distributed all across the body producing nutrients and Chi. This sometimes called
Nutritive Chi. The Chi is carried through your body via the blood under the direction of the spleen and stomach. Then the third accumlation of Chi comes from the very Air you breathe. Fresh air is enhaled by the lung is in fact the main source of Chi through out the human body. The Chi in the human body is very much dependant on Kidneys, Lungs, Spleen and Stomach.
Now there are Four Classification of Chi. But I won't delved into that right now. They are similiar to three I just named but also intel of desired functions and processes needed to keep the body running smoothly.
What is Chi? Chi is Energy or Air
What is Kung? Kung is skill or Work
What Chi Kung? Air work or Energy Work
What is Jing? Jing is your spearm or essence
Jing is basically known as Kidney Essence.
There are three main Jewels or Treasures
Chi=Energy/Breath
Shen=Spirit/soul
Jing=Kidey Essence/Sperm
Also there is YI = mind/intent I would love to hear Jade talk more about the Yi in relation to your Chi and Jing.
Jing is the most dense phyiscal matter in the body. Jing is material basis for the human body and is Yin in Nature. The Jing is stored in the Kidneys. The Jing actually creates marrow and semen. You have prenatal jing known as Yuan Chi. But you acquire more Jing from Exercise(Wing Chun Practice)Study, Meditation and even food. Chi Kung is dedicated to replenishing post natal Jing. Since prenatal Jing can not be renewed once consumed. Walking the Circle helps to preserve prenatal Jing and accumlate post natal jing/ Ginseng is great herb to utlize for Jing and Chi Accumlation.
Now when you practice Wing Chun Forms you are doing both Nei Gong(Internal Work) and Wai Gong(External Work).
Neija means Internal
Wai means External
Neigong is a set of Chinese breathing and meditation exercises. When you practice Sil Lim Tao you are meditating on circulation of Chi from you Dan Tien to your limbs up your spine to your brain etc etc. You also utilize the breathe. That means breath out when you punch tan sau etc. Breath in during retraction. Even with Wu Sau Fook Sau. Breath in bringing Wu Sau closer to body. Breath out pushing Fook Sau away from the body.
When you strecth meditate on your Chi and moving it through your body.
When you do stance work meditate on your Chi to cyclone it through your body.
In time you will be able to feel your Chi first maybe in your finger tips, Then hands then arms and then legs and feet. An all through out your body.
But I will let you elaborate more on that Mr. Chinese Alchemy.
Jade you spoke of men not ejactulating. Well some men do so for iron body studies. Here is some text I located for you talking about another reason for stopping ejactulation:
Men have to get aroused almost to the point of ejaculation, then mentally concentrate on making the semen flow upwards instead, along the spine and then into the head area.. This act is called "reverting the semen to nourish the brain" Once a man has mastered this and no longer ejaculates, he then has "subdued the white tiger" The energy can then circulate in what is called the "microcosmic orbit" A "pearl of dew" forms in the abdominal cinnabar which is where the divine chi is made. The more chi that circulates through your body builds up a stronger and purer chi which is what you desire for immortality. The more you have, the stronger your chi.
And as for women:
Women to preserve chi are first subject to follow a diet with lighter bland foods and mediations which will make the red menstrual blood rise upwards. This will leave only a clear coloured fluid or chi. You want this clear coloured chi because it means you are not losing any vitality and can eventually achieve immortality. After the women has depleted the red blood from her menstrual blood, it is known that she has "decapitated the red dragon,"which stabilizes chi. The menstrual blood is brought upward monthly forming the female "pearl of dew". The layers are built up forming a strong chi. The "pearl of dew" is present in every women from birth, but disappears during every monthly cycle, losing the chi in the body.
So I take Jade your into acheiving immortality?
