To follow up on Steven’s post, you can read about all of these forms in Mantak Chia’s books, although it is difficult to learn the practice (exception may be Tao Yin). There are excellent DVD’s for both Tai Chi 1 (Marie Favorito) and Tao Yin (Karin Sorvik) which I would recommend (see links below). Iron Shirt must be taught live though, but…[Read more]

Wow that is a pretty intense article and I couldn’t stop reading… I can’t imagine that the sentient or “demiurge” beings in the astral plane are so devious to our enslavement, however. But still makes you think. I imagine what he is describing is similar to the cleansing that is done in inner alchemy.

I am a joyist too! Haha love that post…

Well said! I love the mayonnaise analogy…

I’ve heard good things about the Eight Extraordinary Channels book. David Twicken seems to be pretty well versed.

Thanks for sharing. So which lineage does One Cloud’s alchemy formulas come from?

I think my body may be recalibrating due to unbalanced hips from carrying around kids for so long on one side…

Who’s to say what is “natural?” Not that I am advocating it, but in some other societies, perhaps having sex with young boys/girls is completely natural? Do wild animals not force other animals to mate with them in nature?

I agree completely. Even to a (much) lesser degree, you teach kids abstinence and don’t let them have condoms and they end up getting pregnant.

Steven – save your dissertation for your doctorate! Haha jk!

I guess my picture link didn’t work…it was supposed to be Dr. Evil…

I will teach you the ancient secrets of alchemy…

…for one…miiiillion…dollars…

I think we all owe Steven a nice lunch!

Anyone have this DVD or know if it’s any good: Mantak Chia’s Tai Chi Chi Kung II ?

Sounds like someone needs to produce a DVD for Big Dipper Qigong (w/ and w/o alchemy) and for Tai Chi 2…

Just sayin’…I’d buy them…

I actually think Steven should get paid for the service he provides on this forum!

I should’ve known that was the answer… 🙂

Adel made quite an inspiring testimonial. I am curious as to whether the “hunchback” corrections are related to tucking under the sacrum, or rounding the scapulae, or both…or something else? I’ve been practicing Embracing the Tree more lately and did feel a difference when I tuck my sacrum more.

We’d clean up Washington in no time! All in the name of helping the elderly!
