Strengthen Your Qi: Essential Guide to All Metaphysicians | Bell Chimes In #39
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ส.ค. 2024
- As far back as the start of the Bell Chimes In video series, if not earlier, I’ve gotten repeated requests to share my personal Qi cultivation practices. Most Eastern esoteric paths espouse that a practitioner proactively cultivate and strengthen the personal Qi, or life force, because when you do any form of intense occult work, you’re drawing from that pool of personal Qi. To maintain optimal health, and that’s physical, mental, and psychic-spiritual health, cultivation practices are necessary.
This video chat is my response and answer to the question. What I ended up touching upon, however, is what I hope to be very practical tips anyone of any path or background can implement for noticeable self-improvement.
Even though this is just an opinion piece, I titled it “Essential Guide to All Metaphysicians,” one, as clickbait, and two, because I do touch on some of the common health concerns metaphysicians tend to experience as an occupational hazard, and how to ameliorate the deficiencies.

“Bell Chimes In” is a video series on my channel where I pick a topic that is oft talked about and chime in with my perspective. In doing so, I hope you’ll chime back. After the video, please join in conversation with me through a video response, blog post of your own, or by adding your thoughts in the comments section of this video. This isn’t about me. This is about us, about discourse and the collective ideas of a community.

That was beautiful when you described the different dietary needs of yourself and your husband. One day I hope to find a woman who is a occultist, I'm a Taoist/Buddhist (one cannot separate them). And a black man, for some reason Chinese culture resonates with me. It just feels right. I appreciate what you are doing for everyone, it's a great gift and I appreciate you. Thank you Benebell.
On the second part of what you said, I feel the same. Years ago my mother was discussing something and she got a bit annoyed and said to me "You must have been asian in your past life!", and she meant it in a joking way, I don't think she was serious, but it just popped out of her in that moment when she had emotion running through her and her mouth wanted to say something. But for some reason I remembered what she said, and years later I reflect back and it seems true. In learning a new language (and then the culture, and now the traditional spiritual approaches that Bell discusses), I started to realise that a lot of the things I do, and have done since I was a child, or have self-taught myself, frequently align much closer to Chinese culture and mysticism than Western ways. The me in this lifetime is very accustomed to Western thinking, knowledge, language, but the way I act, think, perceive, give the impression my soul has been trained through Eastern practises. Regarding my mother, perhaps her spirit may have provided the clue to me in that moment, even though her logical brain in the 3D physical world wouldn't necessarily agree.
As an old Western man with multple pathologies, i have been using an integrated approach to maintaining good health using both western medicine and TCM, even growing and collecting as many Traditional Chinese mediceines as i can. The practice of several martial arts would appear to be a necessary component of this integrated approach, as is growing and preparing our own food to the greatest degree possible. In doing this, i have tricked myself into a variety of enduring Qi Development exercises which are gradually becoming coalescent to make life, one great giant ongoing Qi Development exercise. It's one way to ensure that one never stops changing, and that this dynamic nature remains constant. 😅
You mentioned you could request one meditate three hours per day, I meditate three to four hours per day with an addition hour or so of Qi Gong, yoga, or Nei Dan. ☯️☸️☯️ I agree with you on French fries and ice cream 😋.
Leo ♌️ man here with way too much yang energy which leads to severe anxiety issues at times.
Amazing as always, well you just diagnosed me to a T, I have throat chakra issues to where it hurts when in meditation, its been like this for years but has gone down since I've started actively developing my mediumship. Im also looking into shamanism at the moment. Im shook at how much that described me!
Just found this channel, I love it.
wow benebell i didn't come to this video expecting these insights on my throat issues but you're kind of blowing my mind...
That was wonderful to hear❤ you have a brilliant way of thinking thank you
“Not intended to be educational” but I still took notes lol! So much great content thank you so much for chiming in ❤️
Wow Bell so true, as a professional spiritualist, diviner and spiritual counselor. I can't tell you the amount of psychic vampires and parasites that have attempted to come and feed on my psychic abilities. I learned a long time ago how to shield myself from them. I have seen other spiritualist get sick, have tumors on their bodies and die from heart attacks, from working with certain people especially those on the wrong side, of the law needing constant protection, or those who are always convinced someone is hexing them, and some entities tormenting them. I stay far away from those types, I will not have my energy fed and drained.
thanks Miss Bell for chiming in 🎊
You are awesome. Can I just tell you how much I love you???
Thanks for sharing all your great work. I absolutely loath questions I get from those who don't understand and are too lazy to so any research on their own and therefore obsess over those of us who are actually PRACTICING the ancient practices of living a truly healthy lifestyle.
Namaste, Benebell!
I loved this. Thank you for chiming in! 💖
Appreciate your videos soo much!!!! Avid student with a gold pearl.
Paradox’s hold the key to understanding balance and respect. After that it’s just 3 things, Subject and contrast.
It kinda works the otherway around aswell. Not only channelin may affect inmune system but also Weakend and sick people may develop "begginer's luck" or some natural talent for esoteric work, even more, people facing terminal illnesses tend astral project during their last resting evenings on earth.
Great video as always! And your shadow work course is truly wonderful 💞
Oh ... this is so refreshing ! Thank you. I think the same would be true to say about many aspects of our life. “5 tips to ... “ is usually fail. “ Bell chimes in” is my favourite:-)
My brain and mouth run at about the same rate, but usually different directions! This spoke to me on so many levels. I'm not a freak (well, ok, maybe I am...). I'm just really, REALLY imbalanced. I've watched your blog producing more books and I can see some in the works, programs, videos, you obviously network with peers, do all that social media stuff. Oh, and a job, a "real" job. Well - make that 2. Care and Feeding of the Husband is yet another full-time job! :) I've been in 'research mode' with a "neuro-immune" condition of some sort, so thinking, remembering, even reading a book is a challenge when 10 years ago.... But that was another person, this is now. And today is "Benebell Wen Catch-Up Day" - and that's the only thing I will accomplish, if even. Yet my list is miles long.....!
You hit all the points I've been "collecting" and now I'm about to "take action." One step. The another. But putting all this knowledge to use, now that I see how "whole" the different angles paint once put together (like a photo negative, 'eh?), and they're 100% specific to me. Friends all have to tell me I'm eating wrong, exercising wrong, need to do this or that, read what their expert says about.... That is "belief." "Faith" is based on experiential knowing, so nope, not at all 'religious.'
I've had to find my inner b!tch and I'm Pisces Rising. I morph to everyone's vibe - but no more! Maybe if I'm having a whiny day I'll engage in some victim drama, but getting better at seeing the mindset, and hence changing it. Tapping into my Scorpio sun conjunct Uranus and inner confidence/agency. Like you said, "You KNOW what needs to be done". I'd add - if I "let" myself quiet down enough, maybe not spin on BIZZY accomplishing nothing, and instead tuned "in."
Awareness is so key. Bravery to look at one's own sh!t is vital. Curiosity, View, you nailed it all! Now I just have to make myself visibly accountable for the small steps, and visibly put a big red X when I don't do what I said I'd do. Get through the self-shame and use it to empower myself.
p.s. Thanks for the throat chakra info. I've always wondered why my throat locks down doing spiritual practices. I heard it was holding in my own voice, you gave me a new vocabulary. Thank you, amazing woman! I'm totally buzzing now!!!
This is fantastic and has come up in conversation for me a great deal recently. Synchronicity! Can I ask you-anything digestive/stomach issues relates to.... and how do you calculate yin and yang? Birth chart elementals? Thank you for your generosity in making these, all of these, all of your kindnesses. ❤️
SO much re: digestive/gastro-intestinal issues and occult practitioners (or just those who are more emotionally and intuitively sensitive to the world around them-- what's the word going around these days-- highly sensitive person or whatever?)! You hold other people's pain and insecurities in the same place our own pain and insecurities go-- that tummy area-- and when you see suffering in the world that you are helpless to heal, you hold that in the seat of your personal power, which is around the GI area of your body.
I love her humour - a really amazingly wise and good woman.
OMG, you are AWESOME. Very accurate descriptions, especially about throat and lymph and channeling divinity at around 4:00. I'm VERY MUCH interested in knowing more about resolving any and all stagnation or toxic build-up in the lymphatic system. How do I - if you were to share your personal viewpoint - help myself in balancing my lymphatic flow to pure wonderfully good health again?
I'm gonna search your channel after completing this video for anything relating to this.
One simple method shared with me by my Longmen Pai teacher is to stand with feet shoulder width apart. Keep the feet flat on the ground and gently bounce up and down without the feet ever leaving the ground. Very gently bounce and sway at the hips gently left and right. Start with a few minutes morning and evening. Bouncing pushes fluids through the limbic system and is a great, simple boost to overall immunity and support to the Lymbic process.
Excellent as usual♥️👍👍🕉
Mindfulness would be a key for you.
Awesome 💚
The TCM part was interesting. Thanks for sharing
This is a great topic Benebell, can you pull out say each of 5 elements and talk about that re: chi cultivation? (OMG-edit-the post talks about this just went to it...) I am a healer doing shiatsu and wellness coaching, so I"m very involved in TCM principals. I disagree on one point-(early/middway in video you say there is no one practice...) the ONE practice that can help everyone is meditation- all ancient systems included some form of it. But even there the particular type of meditation may vary. I see later in the video you joke about "3 hours..." which is true too much but your post does give more info on it. So wise words.
Timely video. Thank you Ms. Bell!
Loved this! Also, thank you do much for the time and effort you put into your videos 😊
I'm very interested in reading the accompanying blog post, but the link you provided does not seem to be working right now.
Maybe it isn't live yet? From the date of the blog in the video it is supposed to be posted today but so far it isn't there. 😭
Here it is: benebellwen.com/2019/05/25/cultivate-qi-for-occultists/
You should do a video on healthy yin and yang dominant foods
Wow! Thank you so much for this video im into metaphysics and divination, I also been interested in Chinese Medicine I traveled from NYC to Amsterdam to a Chinese medicine practitioner and she was saying everything you said. I’m amazed lol so glad to have found you on here!
Thank you
Thank you for the guidance and the reminder to trust oneself :)
When I was watching your shadow work video I realised I had been doing the practice of externalizing my shadows via visualizing them and how cool that was that it was this ancient practice that I had no idea about. Then afterwards I felt I ping in my head on the right side and saw it as a tornado above my head. When I spoke to it gently and asked it to appear in animal form it was a sad and tired bunny and I just started crying because I realized she had been running in circles in panic. When I heard you talk about your thoughts in this video I wondered if I had been picking up on an energy that we share some how. Like a thought form. I normally don't comment on videos but I feel very connected to your messages. I'm wondering to if you are an Air moon sign like me (Aquarius Moon). Thank You so much for making videos about semi uncommon topics you are very detailed and that air energy bunny is very wonderful when she can just slow down and eat grass (or cookies lol) Bless🌷❤
Thank you for the vid! It definitely falls in line with ideas I’ve had for years.
I have mood strings, based on emotional intelligence, detecting bs, or intentions, not a dramatic , immature, flatterer, or liar woman intelligence. That the difference. Im not bi polar or wish washy , im straight forward about how i am feeling or sensing from an individual that alot people, hate to accept, a woman with truth. # Nature is heterosexuality.
You are a wealth of info. I really appreciate your broad knowledge base, on such a wide spectrum. Thanks for the thorough, detailed, and articulate sharing. It's a generous gift you are offering. [your cursing surprises, then makes me giggle ;- ]. Blessings.
Oh I swear like a sailor.
Gonna cultivate me some Qi
💫💫✨💫💫
Seriously, diet, exercise, meditation, study are my vehicles of success. A great set of goals and realistic sense of confidence is the best way to build up momentum. Thank you so much! Always love to hear your perspective! Awesome
You're adorable. I appreciate your input and being a leader of these conversations!
Wouldn't say I'm a leader in these conversations, more like a follower. (1) Followed the request of someone asking me to make a video like this. (2) Followed the lead of others who spearheaded this conversation first. ^_^*
@@BenebellWen From where I stand and look, You are a LEADER. For you are the one who chooses to step into the Arena. You are the one in the Coliseum and all of us get to watch the MAGICK you create. Your an open conduit of facilitating information in a timely and concise manner. Your continued cogency is appreciated for you bring conversation that stirs our own souls. I appreciate your time, commitment and amazing talents. There is no EGO in accepting a compliment, doing so allows the flow of gratitude to be equally exchanged. Many blessings, See you in Rhinebeck!
Ive been thinking of this too. Thank you!!
So good. Thank you
Bell: "I shoot my mouth too much."
Me: That's.... that's why were here 😎
You are bliss Benebell Wen🍀💚🍀
Swimming 🏊♀️ great for balancing the mind..
Can you recommend any books or other resources for beginners who are interested in TCM?
what if I don't believe any of this.? there are many issues when --- you believe they exist.. I do not. I believe if I channel thru me the divine --- I can let go of the causes of others in order to stay sound and what I channel into reality has no dominion over me... so what I am saying since I feel this way in reaction to someone.. I need not be this way.. I know existence..is great if you can understand how being positive .. is the cross the board effecting everything. --- I can blank slate, my mind and know I am starting over/// --- I like that you are doing these videos 'DON"T STOP' trust who you are and emphasize the positive .. You know when there is negativity is "seeping in" consciously don't allow that to happen. I feel I need not dissolve or release my positive energy in a way that weakens me,.. mundane moderation is neutral and null sets of neutrality --- being centered is the middle path.. the body knows...good karma comes from good actions ... I believe in you but not what "you" esoterically believe.. I have lived without beliefs more then with. (apologize for writing so much most of which was necessary for someone else to read) again thank you .. for doing this talk.
Curious, what are your thoughts about Falun Gong? The techniques seem similar to qigong and seem like they could be beneficial, but I have heard that the founder apparently has some hateful teachings with regard to LGBTQ folks as well as people of mixed races. But, I haven't heard this directly from their sources, so I don't know if that's true or just propaganda. Is it possible to benefit from and practice the exercises without supporting the ideology of the founder in a group like that, since I've heard they don't charge for their classes. Also, when they say they are a cultivation system, what does that mean? These are maybe newbie questions. I am mainly asking because I am looking to start an energy work practice and don't have a huge budget so they seemed like a low cost way to do it, I'm just not sure of their ideology.
Conservatism is a natural part of one’s spiritual progression. ☯️☸️☯️
Every act of divination transcends logic and creativity.
Humans can't truly know thyself until they accept Jesus instead of feeling tied down to the things of the world.
If astrology was truly good then the world would be a better place and everyone will be happy but in this virtual world that man has created is temporary.
Astrology just satisfies the ego.
They're things visible and invisible.
I meditate so therefore I truly know what's going on in our world.
We wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, powers, rulers of darkness in high places. We humans shouldn't act like beast of the fields.
This is a great video 👌
The only thing that would of made this better is a fix all method jk lol
Thanks for sharing ☮️
Qi sounds alot like how I understand Ki and even Ashe
In terms of my astrology, I’m yang dominate, I think. Probably that’s why a vegan diet suits me so well
I love your voice o.o;; have you ever considered voice acting?
Really? =) I've always, always hated my voice! Since high school. I can't re-watch any recording of me for more than a couple minutes and I can't listen to any audio recording of my voice. Because I can't stand my own voice.
@@BenebellWen Yeah! It's a great, unique voice. I like it. It's very soothing to listen to your videos before sleep. I can also see you voicing a super cool cartoon character

Oh! The link for your companion blog post isn’t working.
haha yes. This video was never supposed to have seen the light of day. So imagine my surprise when I woke up this morning and saw there were comments to this video. Guess I forgot to un-schedule it. =P Anyway, since it's up, it's up. So I fixed the link as well: benebellwen.com/2019/05/25/cultivate-qi-for-occultists/
none of that is actual metaphysics........its existentialist tripe
hate to see this crud in America
