Treasure Bottle Chi, Master Nan, Huai-Jin and Wim Hof

Thanks again to Serious Buddhist who donated to my full lotus meditation long distance healing experiments! This is a great translation he did of Master Nan, Huai-jin teaching full lotus meditation.

Notice that Master Nan, Huai-jin clearly emphasizes the key secret of meditation is that the yin and yang channels are interacting with the legs crossed and various breathing exercises and hand mudras.

This video is one of the clearest, best and most direct - of real meditation - that I have seen. Master Nan, Huai-jin was considered a living Buddha and had memorized the teachings in both practice and written script.

So then he goes into the Treasure Bottle Chi exercise which builds up to holding the breath. Master Nan, Huai-jin teaches that the breath should only be held after exhale and this is also exactly what Wim Hof teaches. Wim Hof studied Tibetan tummo and Master Nan, Huai-jin also studied Tibetan tummo.

And the final exercise Master Nan, Huai-jin shows is a standing exercise that he recommended males do every night before sleeping in order to maintain celibacy. The key for me, as I have detailed, is for the legs shaking to an extreme sympathetic nervous system response that triggers an opposite extreme of the parasympathetic nervous system.

It is very refreshing to see Master Nan, Huai-jin so clearly detail the secrets of real meditation training as based on complementary opposites energy of the yin and yang channels and to state how we lose our energy with our eyes open but through meditation we build up the energy by circulating it as yin-yang. He understood, just like connecting the negative to positive channels in a battery, the energy then is activated for flowing.

So in the end he talks about the abilities that can also be achieved as "fruits" of the cultivation but the beginning is focused on the goal of meditation as stillness or the Emptiness and how the great mystery of the Universe is whether it is stillness or eternal motion.

This is really a mystery about the spiritual ego and how the source of light, our spiritual ego, is actually the qi or prana energy as intelligence that is Emptiness - and eternal motion achieved when the light goes into stillness and our ego is gone. So it is an inherent mystery of reality and yet can be experienced through meditation.
