Hello,
I have been doing the training in the book Qigong, the secret of youth, for 96 days now. I knew from the start that I couldn't put down the time demanded, but wanted still to do it, so I resolved to train twice a day and keep the training going for a longer stretch of time.
However, I feel now that I am very "full" with qi. I meditate 30 minutes after each session and take some herbs to balance the qi and promote production of jing, but nothing to make too much. If I stop meditating I get a rash over my heart and easily agitated, and usually start feeling the qi creeping out into my limbs. I also have "overflowing" up the spine regularly.
So, that was some background info on what I really want to say, which is; must the described time be met or can one move forward with the training if the body is ready? I feel like if I don't start working the qi into more areas it will start doing naughty things to my body...
I'd greatly appreciate a comment from someone who has done the practice and can say how they progressed in the training. It seems like there is a lot of talk about this training, but very few people carry on to do it... which makes it difficult to find someone with experience to talk to.
