Secrets of Flying Dreams: Liver blockage of yin qi energy

 So just got back from a two day meditation fast in the Hermit Hut - soaked the new shiitake logs. Should be rain tonight for last year logs - in case they want to fruit.

So I had a serious flying dream in the middle of the night and I was awake afterwards for quite a bit. I probably did ten hours of full lotus meditation over the two days - maybe more.

So the Liver is the Red Dragon that goes out of the head - either when the eyes are open or during dreaming. The key then is that meditation is to control the autonomic nervous system - while sleep is to restore the voluntary nervous system. So meditation is actually more powerful than sleep.

So that's why we have to control our dreams for serious meditation. Then as the dreams get stronger we get more precognitive dreams which demonstrate to us that being awake is also a type of dream. I call those "glitches in the Matrix."

Meditation depends on the kidney energy being build up - so the Yang Qi is built up via yin qi going down in meditation. The Yang Shen goes out of the eyes when open as the Red Dragon but when the eyes closed - then it's the Green Dragon. This is from the yin qi and yang qi combining with the yang shen and yin shen in the third eye - the Yuan Qi then emanates out of the heart and as the alchemical pill goes down then it builds up MORE Yuan Qi which is stored in the small intestines as the central channel.

 When we rotate the eyes clockwise as visualizing the pill being tucked into the lower tan tien we should be able to feel the third eye activating the lower tan tien. When the third eye is fully open and the lower tan tien energy is restored with Yuan Qi then we would see bright light in the lower tan tien when we closed our eyes.

So the "original qigong master" had to take a dangerous cleansing herb to clear out his meridian channels and then he was able to see light in his lower tan tien consistently. He did that maybe 15 years ago? I remember him talking about it soon after he did it. He said he almost died but when it was done then he had restored his lower tan tien.

So flying dreams are fun but just a beginning stage of showing that the yin qi is building up to restore the yang qi. And then it takes more "small universe" meditation via the rotation of the eyes (the sun and moon shen) to then build up the Yuan Qi as real alchemy.
