This is not exhaustive and it’s what I’ve learned purely from my experiences doing Immortal Fang over the last few months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. In exercise #10 (rotations sitting down), I never noticed how jerky my rotations were. I had an insight one day that I should do my best to make the rotation as “smooth” as possible without the slight delays I would tend to make when going down or reaching the furthest area of one side. I think this is very important. Really make sure to have a “smooth”, consistent rotation as you spin your upper body 21 times – first right to left\/clockwise then 21 times left to right\/counter clockwise.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. I had an insight where after #10, exercise #11 should be resting in the emptiness generated from the rotations. I think that this is super important. Really stay in this emptiness to cultivate\/refine qi, which you’ll feel all over your whole body.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Exercise #9 is the two bows one makes before doing the spinning. My opinion is that this activates the MCO in some way. Super important, please do not skip this.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Really take your time to build up slowly, and it’s not practical to expect you can go from 0 to 7 reps, 3 times per day. It takes time to build a regular practice, and don’t beat yourself up if you miss some days.\ud83d\ude0a<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. [FOR BEGINNERS\u2705] <\/strong>Do seated LDT stillness meditation just before doing immortal fang to calm down and direct any random\/deviant qi into the lower dantian – where it belongs. As a beginner, don’t exceed 5 – 10 minutes (and scale up to 20+ minutes over months\/years). Call this exercise #0a. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. [NOTE: NOT FOR BEGINNERS!!!\u26d4\ufe0f]<\/strong> Do yin breathing before immortal fang for some added potency. Call this exercise #0b. This is only for advanced practitioners who are already passed 7 x 3 and would like additional gains. It otherwise pushes too much energy into the dantians too quickly for the novice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Immortal fang activates all 3 dantians so take.your.time and don’t rush into the full practice. It could take upwards of half a year to a year or longer<\/em> to do the full 7 repetitions X 3 per day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Be gentle with your movements and pressing down on your body. If too rough, your fingertips (especially middle finger) can get sore), your upper, middle AND lower jiao(s) can start aching\/paining. This sucks and is painful, and it can result in mandatory breaks to allow the body to heal\/regenerate. Keep in mind, at an even a modest 5 reps of #1 – #8, you’re doing 105 repetitions of a movement…for.every.single.21-rep.exercise…TWO TO THREE TIMES PER DAY = 1,260 – 1890 movements per day. This can physically be painful and that’s generally not conducive towards stable growth. Be.very.gentle. and take a looooong time to work your way up – allowing both your physical body and energetic body to grow; with grace, fortitude and strength\ud83d\ude0a.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
