Okay help me conceptualise this please. There's a few questions in here

For context, when I stand, I begin to feel like I'm surrounded by water. When I move my hands left, I feel a resistance to the right - same for all six directions. I find I have the capacity to "move" the resistance to some extent (make it stronger/weaker/change directions a bit)

So for clarity purposes say we have Li and Yi... This may not be exact definition but close enough for my questions I think.

• Li is just regular ol' muscle movement
• Yi is what we do to the body to create and modulate this "resistance" or magnetic sensation.

Is this magnetic-feeling resistance what the "power" really is? Is that what people bounce off of? As you get more grounded and fully integrated, do you subjectively feel, in that state, like it's harder to "push" against your own magnetic/hydraulic resistance using your own Li?

Also, when I'm doing the six directions, do I have it correct that I use "Yi" to move the ball to the right (creating a feeling of resistance right-ward), while using a small amount of "Li" to counteract it to the left? By this I mean, am I using my intention to modulate the magnetic sensation so it pushes to the right, but using my conscious muscle to counteract the magnetic/hydraulic force that I'm generating using Yi?

This is what I'm trying to wrap my head around, this idea of contradictory forces. I'm not sure what aspects of it are Yi and what aspects are Li.

OR is there no Li involved at all? E.g. am I using Yi for both sides (Yi to to create a magnetic sensation to the right, and Yi to create a magnetic sensation to the left, magnetically "squeezing")?

Also, I find whether consciously or unconsciously, I use micromovements to "seek" the magnetic sensation. Once I find it I can play with it. Is this a bad habit? Or is this part of the training? I'll use Li to make a small movement to the left, like only a couple of millimeters maybe, to seek that "edge" where I find the resistance.

Finally, when someone is trying to "jam" you and you intend to bounce them, or you are trying to issue force, how does the interplay between yi, li, and directions come in?

Do you squeeze your frame (li) slightly inwardly to create a back-spring of magnetic resistance pushing outside, which the person bounces off? Or do you use fully yi and no li at all, even to "load" the hydraulic spring?

Or do you squeeze in all directions?

I know this is kind of cognitively confusing but I think the distinction is extremely important. Any clarification for any of the above is much appreciated.

Here's my situation, we've called some solicitors but I think they are too busy to really understand our situation and just hear "crypto" and run off or give us a huge quote - £5000+ or so more than normal, which we can't even afford! - so I'd like to get a second opinion this.

1. I've been working for a non-profit for 5 or so years
2. A donor wanted to donate in bitcoin for a project I was working on but the non profit didn't want to deal with crypto, so they asked if I could accept it directly from the donor on their behalf. I did.
3. So for two years I've been paid crypto directly.
4. None of the crypto is intended to be used for the downpayment. The downpayment comes only from gifts. However, the last part of the gifts were a bit delayed so in the interim I put money in the LISA. This money came from crypto. But only as a placeholder. I've since received the money that was intended to go in there and of course I have bank statements to back that up.

Is there any hope for someone in my situation to not have to pay so many fees that we end up essentially having nothing left?

I'm kind of hoping to find an individual solicitor. I feel like the big names are just churning clients and don't have the time to really try to see how they can work to the clients benefit using clever tactics. Maybe I'm mistaken though.

Any advice or thoughts?

Thanks!

Hello! I'm just starting my Nei Gong practice as about a month ago. Been focusing mostly on building the lower dantian through silent meditation and some body opening exercises. Today I was following some additional more stereotypical qi building exercises that were prescribed to me by a decently renowned teacher. When I do them, even after I stop, it feels as though there is a LOT of residual qi circulating in the body and it all goes to my head and my head gets really hot. I was reading about how to sink qi down to the feet or lower dan tian. I tried some of these sinking qi exercises, granted I'm new to them and perhaps not giving enough time or doing them slightly improperly, but whenever I finish a sinking exercise it always tends to "bounce" back up to my head rather quickly the moment I take my attention off it. Any tips?
