MessageHello TheSeeker,
You say "it always comes back". What is "it"?
Are you still doing sexual practices, or have you stopped that?
The reason I ask is that it seems unlikely to me that if you've
stopped the sexual practices that it's still jing qi--possible,
but unlikely, since it didn't sound like you had practiced the
method too much before you developed the problem.
It sounds to me more like a standard qi deviation of having too
much qi rise up into the head.
Do you tend to be a real "mental"-type, i.e. intellectual, and
spend a lot of time doing a lot of heavy thinking? This can
cause qi to rise up into the head naturally.
As to your question about the orbit, rather than "concentrating"
or "thinking" about the energy to guide it, try "feeling".
I suggest less mental energy and more feeling in your body.
If my question about being a mental-type is right, then all this
"mental effort" is not helping. You want to get "out of your head" not
into it!
By doing a lot of thinking and concentrating, all you are doing
is reinforcing the fact that you are *in your head*. If that's what
you are telling your body, then your body says "OK fine, I'll be in
the head . . . and it does so".
I suspect that some movement qigong would do you a lot of good, and
would help you get out of your head.
