So it seems that the split into male and female is the cause of sexual hunger, and humanities solution is unconditional love.

I have been noticing a HUGE contrast between the need for sex, and the need for love in the last few years. It seems that love can transform the raw need for sex to a higher level.

It seems that one of the main issues with people projecting their Qi into fantasies is that there is no emotional/virtue quality connection in the same way that there is with a person.

When someone has cultivated their connection to the feeling quality of qi, you can naturally sense it from another person in any interaction, even if just on a…[Read more]

Many people get colds or the flu when their immune system gets weak. If you are doing a lot of iron shirt III or tiring yourself out through too much excercise, that could contribute towards draining your kidney (jing) qi.

I think the most beneficial for healing the body are practices that draw up earth qi, and practices that cultivate neutral…[Read more]

Wow. Very nice. I like the focus on rejuvenation and longevity and the emphasis on people taking responsibility for their own healing.

Interesting, reminds me of the female immortal sun-moon breathing method that uses inhale-only breathing for most of the practice. It seems that would also increase the Co2 levels in the body.

Here is another interesting article that describes how sound vibration creates certain geometrical structures – “vibrational shapes”:

I looked for that particular handout, and couldn’t seem to find it, but as a general answer, I would say it is tricky because jing, qi and shen can be either yin, yang, or yuan. The polarization mostly takes place in later heaven (hou tian), and the farther you go into early heaven (xian tian), the hundun and wuji, the more neutral it…[Read more]

Hi Wendy!

Good to hear from you! Its true that when you use a handle on the forum, it can be difficult to tell who people are. I remember seeing you last at Dao Mtn. in NY 3-4 years ago. It sounds like you have been going through many changes with family and such, I have as well, and am currently feeling like things have worked themselves…[Read more]

Good idea to try and get the details on this, I like the info table you set up. It would be interesting to know. I will write michael when I get the chance, maybe he would know how to find out.

not yet, but maybe if I use enough intention, they will purr…

Actually I kind of assumed that he trained with him at the later part of One Cloud’s life, because of the knowledge that he left at age 96, Mantak must have somehow been in touch with him until that time. I could be wrong about that one. Do you think I should change it?

That is great. I think things are manifesting really quickly now.

I remember some strange things when I was young, I used to draw people with cats heads, and remember really wanting green eyes instead of brown, and maybe 6 years ago noticed that I had half-green and half brown eyes. Also seeing this kid in a wheelchair in elementary school,…[Read more]

Hey Barry, that was the first time I checked out the practice log thing. It sounds like you have gone through a lot of changes…being out of a long relationship can definitely shed some light on yourself. I am in the same boat, and it feels like I had developed a lot of compulsive patterns. Being with some people can either push you to grow…[Read more]

Barry!

Good to hear from you again! Thanks for the suggestion, I will add one in, and see how it feels. Put it on the front page for now, and maybe move it later.

Hey Steven,

The vista is from changbei shan, I thought it was fitting because of the origin of our practice. I really I meant to say that Mantak Chia trained with One Cloud until age 96..thanks for pointing that out, I’ll change it. All that stuff was more or less meant as an outline, and will refine it and add in more info soon.

Thanks!

I found it on a GIF site somewhere, so anyone can use it…everyone should have a rotating Xian Tian bagua!!!

Rotating Baguas for all!!!

Yeah, it is a bit long, but the idea is that people who search by subject will find it more easily (once I register with google), instead of putting a more esoteric title that a beginner would not know about.

Hey Steven, looks great!

Very accessible front page and clear descriptions of the practices. I think I suffer from TMI – too much information.

I have been working on one as well, but needs a lot more work. The more we seed the internet with alchemical vibrations, maybe it will raise the consciousness of the medium.

Hi Rainbowbear,

It will be interesting to hear his perspective, though there are bound to be different viewpoints within the Daoist community depending on their background and the school of practice they adhere to.

More questions:

6. Many Daoist alchemical texts focus on the cultivation of yang qi, can you comment on whether it is…[Read more]
