Some thoughts on Herb uses:

VCraigP brings a few valid points here on quality, alot of chinese herbs are sulfured and I would recommend non-sulfer herbs; they healthier and safer. A couple of cautions here Ginsengs especially “red” and most herbalist use herb for the fire effect can be harmful to high blood pressure consumers; Damaina, Horny…[Read more]

Hi barry,

I teach Qigong & meditation to Cancer patients, as well to the general public. I have been working with Gildas Club and have learned alot about how to teach it to critically ill people. I run a program at a Major Hospital also.

My approach is that I keep it in line with as a “alternative” to complement their personal choice of…[Read more]

Hi,

A BIG Question that requires a good answer here is a link written by Michael Winn,
https://healingtaousa.com/articles/taoalchemy_idx.html Very lengthy but well worth the time to read. Relates to Alchemy, and elements related to your question.

If you are looking to do a practice Five animals do six healing sounds recommended, if you…[Read more]

Jonathan,

What you describe could viewed as a “sex addiction”, don’t be embarrassed either these problems are becoming very problematic; I supplied a link that links to other areas of interest. Dr. Carnes is a leader in Western Psychology with these matters related to your pattern. Sounds like it is draining you, respiratory Qigong, Healing…[Read more]

Thanks for the compliment Michael, I have been digging deep some of the resources I have read over time and been posting for “reading material” that relates to Daoist thought. Professor Hansens article was a saved article and I have found his website after digging in the web!

1. If you cannot trust your own nature, how can you trust your own mis-trust of it?
2. How do you know that your mis-trust is wrong as well?
3. If you do not trust your own nature, do you become tangled up as anyone can be, over analyzed, too much thinking brain; not enough expierential or natural daily digestion?

Wendy,

By reading your post, you will be very successful; you have what it takes to be a valued resource for the community. I personally like store’s, I am “old fashioned” I like to see what I am getting. Personally I will only buy from Internet sites that I know of them or can contact them, before I will buy, too many con artist these…[Read more]

Hi Wendy,

I did a quick search on the web and found different people selling these type of products, if it were me I would research the most popular products, see what actually moves maybe they can give you some movement figures. Find the cheapest price sometimes you might be able to find there dist. is and buy direct for even cheaper. Easy…[Read more]

I have no issue with your post? it’s not directed towards you …with a licensed professional & self care it will be a good plan. I do think he needs some Professional help considering the complexity of expiermenting from a book and possibly very new to Asian energetic arts.

If he can help himself with the general info on your site great!

Jonas,

I am trained in Family style Chinese Medicine which is an older/Different system than the Communist Chinese version of TCM, with all that being said will not really help you via web “Diagnosis”. I will offer suggestions:

My fat fingers hit the button to fast:

I think you bring a worthy valuable post, stillness is the basis for almost any energy arts system that I have encountered, but we can debate the issue of stillness as it has been.

My personal expierence has been that these “formulas” are really a process and at some extent a dedication to a way of…[Read more]

Here is a great link with Meditation supply’s such as cushions etc., maybe people already know of them; has a few nice articles…..http://www.zafu.net/index.html

Spyrelx,

Don’t let the over disection of sitting or seated postures guilt you one bit. The most important thing on the basic level is to be able to practice a effective meditation without pain, numbness or distraction. Obviously alignment of the spine is important, relaxation of the mind, body and breath I found to be core basic goals.

I learned through as you call it “kowtowing”, I like to call it mutual respect to the system and the teacher, and art form. There is a certain value of having a CEO of your system, in old days you absorb their art form and then make it your own, after complete understanding of the prinicples et cetra. True not for everyone, and most can’t follow…[Read more]

Great Discussion, I feel you are both correct in your stances on Mantak Chia, my only comment is that with alot of these practices I believe the value of studying with a good teacher daily, plays in hand which is almost non-existent, with many of these practices as time continues to move on. When I started in these practices & similar schools of…[Read more]
