A Xing Zhuang (Moving Meditation) like Circle Walking, is designed to get a person’s Glymphatic System Microcosmic Orbit to turn on/ trigger…
Fixed it. Carry on, carry on
I wouldn't conflate the two of those.
But what I would look into is the effect of motion and vision on the inner ear and activating that glymphatic system, which is a good thing.
I can't find the research right off hand, but while looking into EMDR I read a paper or two about how motion in our periphery helps improve all sorts of brain function, the theory being it's tied to our migratory walking ancestors. Slo mo, a neurosurgeon, talks about it in the documentary above around 8:50
Eyes are a part of my jibengong.

Eyes are an important part of Circle Turning. The month or so of daily practice just to get past the dizziness phase, has to be developing changes between the eyes and inner ear. The periphery is speeding by even when walking very slowly.

The inner ear, eyes, and tension sensors (?forget the name) in the ligaments that communicate the sense of how much force and distance is involved in our movements and structure.
D_Glenn wrote:Wahkeen, so how do you do the MCO? What are these preparations that you speak of? What do you feel? Do you get any tangible physiological changes? And significant changes in your mental state of mind? What is the scientific reason why you think it is happening? Can you post some studies showing people doing what you do with before and after bloodwork and other monitoring?

There's a lot of speculation about using the eyes to manipulate the brain, NLP, EMDR, the RAN.
This is part of what I was saying about ting jin and the ear that I was soundly dogpiled over.

The nerve sensors are in the joints, too, which have their own "brains." It's why sometimes a joint "just gives" or someone has "trick knees." Your feet 'read' the surface they're on, but that only becomes apparent when they aren't working well -for example, because of a nerve disease or injury.

If you just keep telling everyone that they're doing a good job, even when they are teaching sub-par technique, then you are contributing to the dilution of the art. However, if you tell someone that they're doing it wrong, then you are "in-fighting" and who is the authority who says what is the real stuff anyway? I think this is part of the bundle of problems that surround this issue.
Obviously, some kind of forum where the representative masters of various lineages come together to share in a practical, hands-on way (perhaps a modern Guoshu) is a type of answer. However, it's quite a feat to get something like that setup and to get the people to actually participate, for a number of reasons. There's also always going to be people left on the margins who say that what the centralized group is doing is shit and lacks the special sauce - and the problem is that they might be right!

What a hoot! I understood from the start that overthinking often creates problems that didn't even exist previously. LoL
