Do you use any physical movement with the orbit? My experience is Michael teaches it with movement not only to make it accessible to westerners but to really move the connective tissue where the chi circulates. the spine, belly, pelvis and joints.

The question of sexual energy has little to do in a way with the bad external experience you…[Read more]

Thanks for revealing so much Wendy. I had some major shifts…again…playing that edge and came home to my Total I Ching to hexagram 4. It isn’t a response to your state in the process but it offered a humbling balance for me to new exuberance which is actually protective not obstructive.

I cannot put it in terms of the shen but having lived through ten years of my mom’s slow departure from memory before she passed on constantly opened she and I up to deeper ways of being together.

As you spend time with these relatives they will affect you deeply especially if you have significant past memories with them because it is as if…[Read more]

This is a few hours after writing the above and gracefully losing the card game ( I chose not to win (; and I feel the value of having a forum of practitioners who can tangle and disentangle the mind.

As I walk about today I sink into the gentleness of change and not the mental drama. It is a body experience, a whole body and comes in and…[Read more]

Thanks, I hear you, bar

S,

Thanks,I feel the warmth of your comments and approach. Also the wisdom of not working so hard. A constant edge for me in this time of great shifting.

Your comments make me look at what I really mean and try to put into clearer words.I will ramble a bit, but that is what the forum allows- to listen to myself unedited and get…[Read more]

When we say people are disconnected from their bodies what do we mean?

I experience it in myself as a sickness of direction and attitude. The disconnection holds a lot of unfelt emotion.

I mean the core of this energetic practice is grounding- earth cultivation- but if heaven/energy or earth/body is experienced without the center it…[Read more]

The heart the belly the feet the earth…I like it…balance out the big head

Plus I am feeling more the sense behind the pearl which holds substance and energetic wanderings. Holds the physical circulations and the energetic/heart circulations.

Thanks, Sophia

I have some random thoughts. Chris talks about emphasizing the chi kung as a communication skill which is helpful. To keep living in the question and listen.

I also hear in what you describe a tension between the contained physical feel of your one practice and the lighter energetic one of IA. I think what Chris is inferring is this is not a…[Read more]

wow. again thanks. I have to take this one in bites. barry

With just a few words shifting this is a heartfelt summons and prayer. Embodied deeply in your journey. Thanks for sharing you and You. barry

Thanks for this link snowlion. I am not an avid Potter fan but the article gave me more a valued perspective of art. I need transformation to properly enjoy theater or movies and while they can run the risk of Disneyfication, really good art openly invites me into another’s death and resurrection. It is life affirming and transcendent.

Could you restate this? I don’t understand is there is a question here you are posing or just steam of personal consciousness. Barry…I am interested- it sounds tho more like a philosophical point than anything, yes? Say more…

This is a young man’s site at best to bring consciousness to a deep choice where one loses control on a lot of levels. At worst it is misogynistic, speaks not to the heart or soul of a man’s journey but to the need to hold on, on many levels.

This is an elder males site ( or a younger man’s need to hear only this form them) to bitch and moan…[Read more]
