Question

I am extremely afraid of dying. I wish to become enlightened and I especially do not wish to die before I attain this. I am scared of dying before I become enlightened. Is there anything I can do to ensure I do not die? Not just from disease but from anything. Is there any crystals, talismans, special meditations, anything I can do to make sure I don't die somehow? I am especially afraid now due to the recent attacks. I fear there will be a war and I fear many may die. What happens after death? What can I do now to help me after death? Is this the beginning of the end of the world?
Answer
1. First you must get rid of the fear within yourself. Your own fear will kill you before other things.
2. Just simple meditate on your navel and collect the energy there. The more you store the chi, the fast you will seethe light.
3. Once you have more chi in the navel, focus on the navel and the mid-eye at the crown and look for the infinity and look for the light and focus the light which is getting closer and the inside light. These two lights will merge together and you will gradually be enlightened.

Question
I wonder if you have any experience of Chronical Fatique Syndrome ? Can the healing tao exercises etc cure the decease? If so, which exercise are especially useful ?
Answer
In Taoist practice, we regard the Fatigue Syndrome as the body that cannot hold the energy (store Chi). The organ also cannot hold the energy and it causes the feeling to have no energy. In Taoist practice, we learn to store energy at the navel. The practice is involved with the practice of the Inner Smile to the organs and finishes with the collecting of the energy at the navel. Do the Six Healing Sounds and the Microcosmic Orbit and finish the practice by collecting the energy at the navel (lower abdominal area).

The basic practice is explained in our book "Transform Stress into Vitality".
Question
Is it okay to eat or drink water immediately after meditating or practicing the healing sounds? Sometimes I get hungry or thirsty after these practices.
Answer
No good to eat immediately. Should rest for 30 min. - 1 hour. It's good to practice Six Healing Sounds.
Question
Is it okay to divide the Six Healing Sounds into three separate times in a day ?
Answer
The best is to do it before sleep. It's OK to do it separately.
Question
If the Six Healing Sounds helps to cool down the internal organs, is it also then logical that drinking cold water or beverages can also do the same thing?
Answer
No, not the same as cold water. Cold water is not good for your body. Room temperature is the best.
Question
During meditation I don't feel anything on my energy points, but when I am relaxing or doing something (watching TV, reading book, or before going to sleep) , I can feel the distinctive warmth inside my navel area and sometimes on my lower back of my spine. Is this an indication that I'm already ready to go to the next energy point?
Answer
Yes, when do meditation, do it in the way of being more relaxed and let go. You can feel them.
Question
Please give me some advice or suggestions on some of the basic or very important massage points and techniques describe in your book - Chi Self-Massage, so that I can use it to dissolve some energy blocks that can prevent the free flow of my Chi. Just the basic or very important points that I can immediately use to enable me to at least assist in the opening of my microcosmic orbit.
Answer
About massaging, massage your navel area, starting from the left side of the navel and circle round to the right from small circle to larger circle: with one finger and find the knots and hard points to massage and release them.
Question
I have a question because I find it nowadays very difficult to make choices about all spiritual "schools". I have done Usui Reiki I and II and also course I of healing Tao. Spiritual Human Yoga from a master. It looks very interesting because you can treat yourself or people for only 5 minutes instead of an hour with Reiki. Here you are meditating daily on Pai Hui and in a later stage you use a pyramid. This should be enough to strengthen body and soul. Healing Tao is another story. Here you have many steps and start with opening the energy channels and this method includes all ancient methods from Tai chi to Feng Shui. This looks very "reliable" because it is old, but it can also be old fashion. My question is do we have to train like in the past as the Healing Tao system says and is the ease of SHY only dangerous? Do you know enough of the systems to give me answer ? I hope so because I want to go further on my spiritual path.
Answer
There are many ways of doing things fast and quick- way of making money or making money in the old fashioned way. I learn the Taoist traditional way and improve and make it a quicker result than before. Like in the old days opening the microcosmic needs 2-10 years. Now people can experience them in 2 days to one week and improve in many ways, but it still needs time. A slow growing tree will be stronger and more stable. In the meditation on the Pai Hui too long will make you unstable and ungrounded in long term. It will cause problems.
