Misdirected Energy… Help please!
I have a problem that I hope someone on here can help me with. I’m trying to begin Qigong and work towards Neidan exercises, with my far term goal being to cultivate spiritual resilience, fully transform myself with its inner alchemy and increase the natural longevity I inherited from my family. Only… I’m having trouble getting started building my lower Dantian.
The reason is actually kinda embarrassing. See, when I was younger I put a lot of emphasis on mental strength and trying to open my third eye. I had unknowingly been cultivating/building up my upper Dantian. Now that I’m trying to build/cultivate my lower Dantian every time I try to meditate, my attention automatically snaps to the area of my third eye, making it a struggle to direct the energy to my lower dantian. Even more irritating, I can feel this area is active throughout the day even without me focusing on it. I don’t know what to do. Do I just struggle through it?
