MessageI'd avoid Bone Marrow Nei Kung for the time being.
The practices are good, but amplify the qi in your body and
also induce some detoxification stresses which you really
aren't in a good position to process in my opinion *at this point*.
(This is Iron Shirt III, by the way)
The Iron Shirt practices from Iron Shirt Chi Kung (i.e. Iron Shirt I)
aren't bad for grounding and rooting--and in fact, a chunk of
QF4 is really just baby Iron Shirt--however QF3&4 would be much
better for you. The practices in QF3&4 are much more yin.
Iron Shirt is a much more yang, more martial approach. Moreover, the
Iron Shirt book mainly just has standing postures--and I really
think you need some movement qigong to help you get out of your head.
Moreover, since Iron Shirt is really martial, some of the exercises
in the Iron Shirt book can be somewhat dangerous if you do them
incorrectly. Chi packing is one example. In fact, except for
certain specific situations, I wouldn't recommend doing that at all.
Look, do yourself a favor and stay away from these books--instead
spend a little more and get the DVD/CD programs Michael offers here or
find a live teacher. The instruction will be more appropriate
to really what you need and there's less concern about learning something
dangerous.
