fill the dantian bucket - neigong

another good vid came to me from "the algorithm", the universal tao of youtube. very good descriptions. first build the bucket instead of having a colander. then you can try to let the bucket fill. it's better than "sink qi" as an esoteric sounding idea that takes you to linguistics, fascia, philosophy, culture, and all sorts of red herrings you can read or let the monkey mind ponder endlessly to no avail.

Eventually you have to "empty the bucket" and let the "water" circulate between you and the Earth.

Qigong for the wallet seems to be a real thing.

That's why I make my qigong classes available at reasonable prices. Reiki? Not so much.

my bucket still leaks so my "non doing" will take care of it.
