"I still had this sticky and churning jing in my head.I have been fixing it by guiding it into my navel to store it there every time the jing becomes uncomfortable. By circulating it in the microcosmic orbit (not all points), I was able to make it soft, sometimes as soft as water that it descends down quickly. But it always comes back."
I think you should continue the microcosmic practises for a long time as you do right now. It is a bit dificult to know how long time you need to continue before your symtoms stop. It might also be a period of trial and error with sound ideas on what to do before finding the best solution for you. I think Steven might be right in telling you to add some moving form of qigong or perhaps a standing form. It could be a good idea to do the microcosmic orbit standing in the standing three stance, as soon as you have been comfortable with it, and having instructions on it. Standing or moving forms add ying qi from the earth that might be very good for you and could possible balance you energy in the head, exept for the benefits Steven talked about. If problem finding a teacher try to learn any moving form that is available close to you, perhaps at a low cost.
The manual says that the orbit starts at the navel and gather energy there before circulating it. Does that still apply if you have jing in your head?
"It might be possible then to start from the head and go down and then around some times. But you can always start in navel if you are unsertain and then when you have reached the head it will still take the Jing with it, part by part, remember the Jing there might be wery dence and compact and might take time to move completely. So even though you feel it go down there might be alot left. Licke you take water from a well, you take the water but there is plenty left in the well."
Should I bring the jing to the navel first before I do the orbit?
"I think you mean the Jing from the head, you can do it either way, it is not nessesary to start with taking it down. The important thing is just to close you session with taking it down. Then perhaps in the long run you will empty your well of Jing in the head. If you not have found a method that is faster before that, like standing might be"
For concentrating, should I "mind-guide" the flow of energy or just let it be? I notice that it sometimes move by itself.
"When it move by it self it might be wery good to let it do so. Just follow with your mind and let the energy guide you. Sometimes the body qi know what it best to do and you just distube it if using ot much will power."
Good luck and keep on with endurance. :)
