If I bring awareness to this exchange of beingness between me and another object (person, planet,etc.) it isn’t that I…[Read more] -

HI Oscar, I am not Michael but a humble practitioner who has examined the same questions. I work out in a gym, do Pilate’s, yoga and other physical trainings. I have found that the core chi kung focus on imagery, body awareness and centering into the lower dan tien has been the common theme in all.

Beginner replied to the topic Is Raw Meat the Primal Diet? in the forum General 19 years, 7 months ago

We are too yang as a whole and need…[Read more]
