Completely lost in Qigong

I really need some guidance because I am completely lost and overwhelmed. I’ve been dealing with a chronic health condition that keeps me stuck at home most of the time, barely able to go out, and it has prevented me from living a normal life for years.

I want to use Qigong to genuinely improve my health, release deep physical tension, and clear my energy centers/blockages. However, every time I look into it, I find a massive amount of different styles, lineages, and complex systems (like Yuan Gong, Shaolin Wahnam, medical Qigong, etc.), and I have no idea where to start or what actually works for deep, long-term healing.

which style, approach, or foundational method would you actually recommend to start with? What should I focus on first?

I've seen Ren Xue's page with Yuan Qigong, but I don't know if there are any students here who can share their experiences. Also, I don't know if I need to reach the final level to achieve healing...

Any advice or honest recommendations would mean the world to me. Thank you so much.

(Also, if you happen to know of any good, reliable courses, teachers, or resources available in Spanish, that would be an amazing help for me).

A materialiam of Qi

Most people who talk about qi gong, tai chi, and internal alchemy talk about them as spiritual practices. I have always been wary of this. Not because the practices are not profound — they are — but because the word “spiritual” is doing something dishonest. It parks the practice in a box marked “beyond the physical,” which is precisely where it stops mattering to anyone who takes the physical seriously. The wellness industry loves that box. It lets them sell you the breath work and quietly drop the cosmology, the politics, the whole demanding business of what it means to route your attention and your energy toward a particular end. I have had enough acupuncture and enough years of thinking about this to be sure of something that sounds counterintuitive: these practices are not immaterial at all.

MCO starting on its own

I've heard people describe the orbit starting on its own for years, but I'd never actually experienced it. It always sounded like something that happened to other people. Through working with the authentic nei gong practices and Rudi's recommendations, my orbit started on its own.

Heat was introduced during stillness as I adapted to the recommendations provided. What started as a tiny bit of heat grew drastically over time and started to feel like fire in my lower dan tian. During today's stillness, I experienced more heat than usual. Then the microcosmic orbit started on its own, and I wasn't trying to run it.

That's the part I keep coming back to. After all the reading about the phenonemon, the actual experience was much more matter-of-fact than I expected. It just happened.

It did get stuck in the lower back and didn't fully clear. As the qi moved up the spine, the heat in the lower dan tian ramped up on its own, like it was building pressure to push through the block. That felt purposeful rather than random.

Has anyone else experienced the MCO starting on its own during practice or have some similar experiences?
