Dang, i don’t think i’ve heard of that. It does sound pretty branch/system/school specific. Do you remember *any* other characteristics about it? I do some martial arts research, so i thought i might have known, and i still might be able to help you find it if you remember any other characteristics. Southern Praying Mantis is a pretty hardcore…[Read more]

I’m not exactly sure what your question is. Are you looking for a style that incorporates both characteristics of southern martial arts and southern alchemy methods? or are you looking for a southern style martial art that incorporates any kind of alchemy method? or are you looking for any kind of martial art that incorporates southern alchemy…[Read more]

Steven, I have a somewhat related question. Sometimes when I transport my consciousness to someplace like within the Earth or out in space somewhere, it seems that when i try bring whatever i took with me back into my body as it were beforehand, that i left something behind, and sometimes it feels like i left a lot behind. and it doesn’t really…[Read more]

there are probably others more qualified to answer this question than me, but it sounds to me like you have more yin energy than yang. you might have issues of what it means to you to be rooted, that’s just an idea, hopefully someone like Steven will come along with a boatful (pun semi-intended) of insights. as for a solution, maybe do some more…[Read more]

Stalker,
I’ve been meaning to tell you about another person who claims to have an authentic version of the yin-yang symbol. Here’s a link to a forum thread he started, and another link to his website.

This DVD is based on work by R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz, but I haven’t read his books so I’ll recommend the DVD, which I’ve seen.http://www.amazon.com/Magical-Egypt-Episode-Temple-Man/dp/B000CSENMG/ref=sr

I don’t know what “wheat meat” is, but I think the article is mostly talking about junk foods that contain a lot of what Dan Marino called “bad carbs” in those commercials he used to be in talking about the “glycemic advantage”…and they obviously contain a lot of sugar…

atxryan replied to the topic Interest Indian Martial arts in the forum Practice 16 years, 2 months ago
interesting, i think there were also martial arts systems in ancient Egypt and that other really old area (lol) in the middle east that starts with an “S”, you know, by those rivers… I recognized the narrator’s voice in that video, it’s part of a series of a bunch of different martial arts. here’s a link to the one about several Chinese internal…[Read more]

It’s good to read that you’re making progress in your practices and goals, SD. I plan on starting an 8 brocades (i’ve read there are many variations) qigong practice soon, so that was an interesting preview.

atxryan replied to the topic Is Sun Absorption Practice Safe? (article) in the forum Practice 16 years, 2 months ago
I read something about how people with darker skin need to spend more time in the sun than people with lighter skin because the darker pigment makes it take longer to absorb the same amounts of vitamin d, and that when people moved further away from the equator their skin became lighter so they could absorb the vitamin more easily as an…[Read more]

Thanks for the information about the eclipse…
but does anyone else think that russian site is kind of arrogant to claim that their model of the yin and yang symbol is “the only true magical” one, especially since it denies the aspect of the symbol moving faster or slower, which changes the curvature (slow one has little curve, fast one has more curve).. -

word, thank you Steven. I hadn’t really looked at it like that, but it’s probably good that you brought up the point of a possible split, because I didn’t really know where that practice could have lead to.
Thanks

Word, Dog. I think that HT has a really great setup as it is, I wasn’t trying to disrespect it in any way (not to say that you said I was). In The Tao of Meditation Jou, Tsung Hua said something similar, he made a comparison to a flower having to grow outside and handle the weather and whatnot (training in modern life) compared to a flower grown…[Read more]
