PRACTICE PROGRAMME FOR BONE MARROW CLEANSING
Pushing Mountain is a useful technique to generate an energy flow at various levels
Question
What might be a good practice program for a Chi Kung practitioner who has the aim of achieving harmonious energy flow at all five levels of skin, flesh, meridians, organs, and bone marrow?
Will the consistent practice of Bone Marrow Cleansing alone enable a student to achieve this aim, or is it more of a specialized skill, with less holistic results than say, self manifested chi flow?
With this query in mind, how will an understanding of spread and depth enrich our practice of Bone Marrow Cleansing?

Answer
If the practitioner knows only Bone Marrow Cleansing, he has no other choice but to practice Bone Marrow Cleansing everyday. However, he can operate at five different levels.
Initially he should spend about 5 days a week focusing on the first level, the level of the skin, with the remaining 2 days on the other four levels. When he has attained a reasonably high standard on the first level, he would then spend about 5 days a week on the second level, the level of the fresh, with the remaining 2 days on the other four levels.
In this way he progressively attains a reasonably high standard on all the five levels. After this, he can practice at any level he likes but with an emphasis on the level of bone marrow.
If he knows other types of chi kung, he should spend about 5 days a week on Bone Marrow Cleansing and the other 2 days on the other types of chi kung. For the 5 days on Bone Marrow Cleansing, he should spend about 4 days on the first level, and 1 day on the remaining four levels.
In this way he progresses to all the five levels. When he has attained proficiency at all the five levels, he can practice Bone Marrow Cleansing at any level but with an emphasis on the level of bone marrow, or any other types of chi kung on any day he likes.
Yes, the consistent practice of Bone Marrow cleansing alone can enable a student to achieve the aim of achieving harmonious energy flow at all the five levels.
Relatively speaking, Bone Marrow Cleansing is more of a specialized skill with less holistic results than self manifested chi movement and generating chi flow.
An understanding of spread and depth can much enrich the practice of Bone Marrow Cleansing in an reactive as well as a proactive way. In the reactive way the practitioner does not have to do anything special. Just because of his understanding and practice of other types of chi kung, his Bone Marrow Cleansing would be better.
For example, if he has practiced Iron Wire, the tremendous internal force of his Iron Wire training will give him better result in all the five levels of Bone Marrow Cleansing.
In the reactive way he has to apply the skills he has gained in other types of chi kung to enhance his Bone Marrow Cleansing. For example, he may employ the skill of consolidating force gained in Iron Wire training to direct his energy to flow in his flesh in Bone Marrow Cleansing.
