If I understand you correctly you are saying that chi gung and the like is the means to communicate with the jing and if you apply a certian understanding of polarity interaction without a specific and limiting structure you can get to the core of a problem. Yes?

Like holding one part against or with the opposite part in a neutral space to…[Read more]

Hi again-

“I had a great giggle about your mention of my want for spiritual transformation on steroids… and I guess you’re right – a part of me is still trying to control the process and make it go quicker.”

I’m glad you found that funny too. I thought later that I should have added “You should be more freeform about it.” Ha!…[Read more]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid

“The ancient Egyptians capped the peaks of their pyramids with gold and covered their faces with polished white limestone, though many of the stones used for the purpose have fallen or been removed for other structures over the millennia.”

My intuition says this is more or less correct. When I look at it…[Read more]

When you/me/we see that we are in lack of love for ourselves we can either:

A- take a deep breath and smile to ourselves
B- Go get a beer and turn on the TV
C- Kick the dog (ha! sorry, no pun intended)
D- “other”

“I have an impression that I am being lectured too. If you are unshure of my understanding on a subject please feel free to ask. I understand it is out of a place of love and caring but best to limmit assumptions. I understand I can not hit a topic from every angle on my own.”

I’m sorry if it felt that way to you but I’m not intentionally…[Read more]

“I’ve realised that this process of bring all your parts to emptiness is a rather buddhist approach to enlightenment…to carry on further up the path a more body-centered route must be taken (imo)… So I’m sticking to my plans… slowly integrating my ego, until such a time when I’m dealing with the pure energy of the organs – and then fusion…[Read more]

Dog-“our ego driven need to defend our reality.”

It’s this kind of thing that we are doing the practices to transmute. It’s the old lineage/genetic issues of fear and survival. We carry them around generation after generation until we decide to face them and change them. That’s where the alchemy comes in. But I believe that we had to learn…[Read more]

“wouldn’t it change things when you start getting into lucid dreaming?”

Yes!

Any attention you put on your dreams, like writing them down and interpreting them, will change how you dream. You can give yourself suggestions/directions as you go into sleep that will change things around for you. Being lucid in this 3-d waking reality will…[Read more]

I have used it successfully for older dreams too but I feel that there is something missing then. I think it’s “the moment.” See what works for you.

“in Fusion you dont work with specific memories, you work with say ‘anger’ in general… where-as in Parts Integration you *have to* work with very specific times and moments in one’s life.”

I don’t do it like that, F. I go to the center of whatever I am feeling and if it’s specific, then, it’s specific. If it’s general, then, that’s where I…[Read more]

Yes, it’s all about communication and relationship.

The tribal thing we do is a substitute for the sense of oneness we lost. Individuation at this depth calls for practices to reestablish the communication links. The “One” and the “Many” and the mediating between them is like the particle/wave idea. When in normal human perception, we see…[Read more]

This method was created (as far as I know) in the 70s by Patricia Garfield who wrote Creative Dreaming. She is/was an amazing dreaming master. This technique is totally simple and elegant, and after a few practice sessions with it you’ll have it down.

Writing your dreams down as soon as you wake from them is almost essential to get them…[Read more]

“it seems to me, though, that one would need to know a little bit about you and your life experiences to really be able to advise you on your dreams and their significance. i could be very wrong on that, but i know that my dreams often relate to what has been going on in my day, in my mind”

You are very right about that, TS. While it certainly…[Read more]

“how do you know what your inner weather is?”

Inner weather is how you feel physically and emotionally and how your organs are working together. You tell how your’s is by comparing what you know about yourself and the flows you go through with what an acupuncturist can tell you by reading your pulses.

“it does’t have any big effects for me…[Read more]

Trunk- It seems that the red lettering is used when someone writes in their log that day, and the green when it is a previous day. Too bad. I agree with you.

“are you saying it is the caffene or the coffee?”

It is both. There is 2-3 times as much caffeine in the average cup of coffee than there is in a cup of black tea. Less even in green.
Coffee is extremely acidic and very intense on the organs. The substance of coffee is difficult for the body to process through and it gives you nothing. On…[Read more]

Sometimes when areas are opening up they hurt. Make sure you are not concentrating too hard. Tension or too much energy can get stuck in places. Circulate it down into the LDT.

Sounds good.
Remember to breathe, relax and smile.
Make your practice regular and moderate.
Balance meditation with movement.
Think about your goals.
