What should I do if my qi suddenly surges?
Q: When I am meditating to absorb qi, I suddenly feel my qi in my lower abdomen surging upwards uncontrollably, reaching as high as the upper bridge of the lungs, and still surging upwards. I can't help but open my mouth, as if holding my breath, which is extremely uncomfortable. At this time, my head shakes along with it, and then it slowly stops. What's going on? What should I do when I encounter this phenomenon?
Answer: Sit quietly and control your qi. Your qi will start to move, but because your cultivation has not yet started on the right track, sometimes unexpected things can happen. The above describes the occurrence of such a thing, where the qi suddenly rushes up from the lower abdomen, unstoppable, and the suffocation of qi in the mouth is difficult to bear, causing panic. This is a kind of reckless movement of the qi, so it causes extremely uncomfortable and adverse consequences. If the qi machine is activated normally, it will definitely run in the direction of certain meridians and acupoints, which is a very smooth and unobstructed movement. Even if you don't feel comfortable with it, it will never lead to suffocation.
The reasons for this are: one is that the mind has not yet truly entered a state of tranquility. After entering a state of tranquility completely, the internal energy will not move recklessly. Even if it is extremely active, there is a naturalness to it; the other is that the energy is not yet pure, and it is mixed with acquired turbid energy. Therefore, it is coarse and difficult to subdue, and the movements are hurried and out of proportion, against nature. Fortunately, it has not yet happened that the energy machine moves recklessly, deviating from the normal track, causing chronic illness and leaving future problems. In this situation, the only way to deal with it is to calm the mind and suppress the fire of the heart, so that the qi does not go too far.
Then, to investigate the cause of the qi's reckless behaviour, it is necessary to do the following in the external environment: pay attention to regulating emotions, do not be impatient and angry; eat light food, not greasy and thick; keep the environment quiet, not noisy and rowdy. Once the external environment is straightened out, the internal qi will naturally flow unimpeded.
When doing work, you should focus on your heart and mind, clear your thoughts, concentrate on tranquility, and not use the method of attracting qi. If you haven't mastered the skill of entering tranquility and use intention to attract qi, it will be easy for qi to act recklessly and become uncontrollable. Once you have truly entered tranquility, then you can use the method of refining qi. Even if qi is activated, it will naturally be fine.

炁忽然冲动怎么办
问：静坐服炁之时，不知不觉之中，丹田之炁忽然往上冲起，势不可挡，向上到达上鹊桥，还往上冲，不由自主张口，如同憋炁一般，极其难受，此时脑袋跟随晃动，后来慢慢就停止下来了，这是怎么回事？遇到这种现象应当怎么办？
答：静坐服炁，炁机会有发动的现象，但是因为修功的开始尚未走入正轨，有时也会发生始料不及的情况。上面所述出现的这种事情，炁机忽由丹田上冲，势不可当，至于口憋炁难行，导致惊慌失措。这是炁机的一种妄动，所以造成极其难受的不良后果。如是炁机的正常发动，定会沿着一定经络窍脉的方向运行，是很顺利通畅的动作，即使感觉不太习惯，决不至于发生憋炁难行的情况。
造成这种情况的原因，一个是心中还没有真正入静，完全入静之后内炁不会妄动，即使静极生动，也有一种天然度数；另一个是其炁之中，尚未清纯，夹杂有后天浊气在内，所以粗重难伏，动作起来急促失度，违反自然。幸亏还没有发生炁机妄行，失于常轨，造成痼疾，留下后患。遇到这种情况，也只有死心大静，把心火压住不动，则炁机亦不致失之过度。
然后追究炁机妄作的起因，在外部的环境之中，要做到以下几点：注意调节情绪，不可急躁发火；饮食清淡为好，不可肥腻过厚；环境保持安静，不宜嘈杂吵闹。外部的环境理顺了，则内部炁机自然调畅无阻。
做功之时，应当多在心地用功，扫除杂念，专心入静，而且不要用引炁的方法。入静功夫尚未做好，用意引炁，则易炁机妄行，无法控制。等到真正入静之后， 再用炼炁之法，即使炁足发动，亦自然相安无事。
