Beware of your prostate gland

[KEND]

From the write up it appears that the problem was the colon not the prostate. Excessive pressure can cause problems such as hernia etc as weight lifters know, for the colon to be affected seems to indicate blockage or some other defect, which, under pressure from the abs, split.
The reverse breathing is a sucking in and if done correctly should not adversely affect the colon

Yes the writeup was referring to colon but I was highlighting to G that any practice involving a particular organ bodypart can be adversely affected, whether its the prostate or one of the main organs, if we attempt to do practices when not ready.

As for reverse breathing its not really something we should do from the start of our training imo, should be working upto it. I tend to use more of an expansion breath getting more and more expansive as you go on. Eventually you get to the point where reverse breathing becomes the new mode of breathing as the tendons and ligaments loosen up and the hips are square along with the upper part of the body, not twisted or bent, which is the ideal posture conducive to making the most of reverse breathing.

It is at this point when the tendons and ligaments loosen that provides us a window of opportunity to 'change' our body dynamics by working it according it to the dynamics of our internal martial arts practice. But its important to note that we don't keep loosening, we only loosen as much as we can get 'internal access' to whatever muscles or organs we intending to work. As I said it really is golden opportunity to change the body dynamics and health of our organs.

I think this is related to the death of Huang Weilun recently - he ruptured his colon doing hard qigong. Tragic, RIP.

Yeah RIP, I remember he was the same guy who fixed a broken neck from some freak accident years earlier.

G I dont think the problem was the 'Hard qigong.' It might have, probably did, contribute to his demise but in and of itself it's not a dangerous practice providing you did it when you are ready.
It's like that chi weightlifting exercise written about somewhere in some mantak chia book where you strap a light weight to your genitals which you of all people have probably come across. Many say its a 'dangerous' practice and I have no doubt about it if you are not ready. But it helps prevent organ prolapse which naturally occurs as we age. But its one of those exercises that is not basic its probably one of the most advanced of the advanced exercises and if you do it when not ready you could well end up in an early grave. I suppose the big question is how do we know when we are ready.

Lol - why me of all people???

He said himself he was doing hard chi King, I think. I'm imagining, probably not correctly, that he was doing that one where you pressurise everything while squatting down low and bending forward.

Haha, cuz you The Man G.

No particular reason you brought it up about the colon and I assume someone like you has read widely on all sorts of IMA material whether it's legit. or nonsensical, at least you project this view, on me

I'm not sure and I wouldn't know never done anything like that still on 'the fundamentals'. But I'd imagine he had tension somewhere he couldn't feel around that area and probably wasn't aware of it, internal tear ...you know the rest, RIP.

If you don't lie prostrate, God's gonna come and smack you in the prostate.

For the record, I have never attached weights to my Johnson. Just saying.

...... when you inhale and contract the lower parts of your body.

Is this a reference to reverse breathing?

Yes, it is not a good idea to generate impacts on the prostate gland by any means.

People use weigh belt to protect their groins in weightlifting and Hung Quan, etc. Alchemist wants to generate heat in the Dantian with reverse breathing for certain reasons such as prostate stimulation, but this is a non weight bearing activities. Maybe groin hernia and retrograde ejaculation are related to pushing downward and contracting the pelvic floor muscles at the same time for male.

[meeks]

I always do.

Once I turned a corner, had just farted - naturally contracting the entirety of my lower body.

Out of nowhere, my prostate gland has jumped me.. bashed me over the head, stole my wallet, chain and watch. Then ran off laughing with my spleen in tow.

Beware indeed.

At the 1 minute mark - hard to tell if that's a rope or his pecker's been stretched inadvertently by the concrete roller....
