Steven

Yours were MUCH funnier than anything I got for my name.
So apparently you need to “quit being gay in North Carolina”?
I wonder how Google found where you live 🙂

Anyhow, mine were:

Steven needs you!
Steven Needs a Permanent Home of His Own
Steven needs Little Rehearsal
Steven needs a band
Steven needs to be loved

Sounds like a blood circulation issue.

If you do a lot of standing practice before doing meditation, you
may have a lot of blood and/or qi stagnate in certain places–in your
case, your feet.

Several suggestions:

1. If it doesn’t bother you when you do standing practice, try
doing the microcosmic orbit while doing your standing…[Read more]

>>>I am curious why are you in school?

I often ask myself the same question. 🙂

My original reason was that my main passion in life
was mathematics and I wanted to be able write mathematics
books about topics interesting to me, to teach at the college
level, and to pursue the study of really advanced material.
I figured going for a…[Read more]

That’s my theory as well.

It’s kind of annoying actually. I’ll see 5 new posts,
and I’ll scan all three pages and not find 5 posts.

The weird thing is, is that sometimes when I look at
a page, I’ll see a “new post” that was posted several
days previous but didn’t see before–and I could
swear wasn’t there before.

I almost wonder…[Read more]

Hi Ryan,

When I read through your first paragraph and didn’t consider your
interpretation in the subsequent ones, the description of
your symptoms and situation suggest to me that you are
having an anxiety attack. Let me explain and first focus
on what you initially said:

>>>I’ve noticed recently that when studying for school
>>>or…[Read more]

I wonder if that extends to testicular cancer in men who
wear overly tight underwear . . .

Does this extend to saying less clothing is healthier?

What are your feelings on nudity?

What about doing qigong nude? (obviously not appropriate in mixed company)

From Dog’s book excerpt above, the book looks to be
a good one, and is probably a worthy addition to
the shelf of many women (and men, for that matter) . . . S

The “Feminine Treasures” booklet is relatively cheap, so
maybe you could get that as well as Michael’s Fundamentals.

Just a suggestion . . . S

Hi Julian,

I’ll answer, but quid pro quo your story 🙂

A few years ago, a six-year relationship with someone
I truly loved came to end. I felt like I did everything
possible to have it work, and I lost myself in the process.
In the end, the relationship still ended, and I was
left in an emotional garbage pile, with very little…[Read more]

>>>It’s is nice to hear so much good thing about
>>>the QF fundamentals! 🙂
>>>My plan for us is to continue with Michael Winn
>>>stuff in about 1 year.

I’d be interested to hear your experiences after you start . . .

>>>Perhaps the stuff with the egg is something good for them,
>>>they already have had a course with my woman qigong…[Read more]

Hi Wendy,

I have an interesting sidebar and surprising update/correction that
sheds light on the nature of the fluid.

I was at Barnes and Noble a few minutes ago for a
completely unrelated reason, and had in fact forgot about
the forum post. I was in the DVD addendum to the store, and
I suddenly felt “nature call”. I started on…[Read more]

I only material I know of, by Joyce, that is “sexual exercises”
would be the CDs that are PART of Michael Winn’s 17-CD
Healing Love Audio course where Joyce details the Jade Egg practices.

The other material by Joyce that I’m aware of, is her recently
posthumously released Feldenkrais CDs, which is sort of a softened
Tao Yin practice…[Read more]

I agree with you that the available knowledge
about the components of female ejaculate is slim.
There’s always the intuition that it might be urine,
but from people who study and/or play with female
ejaculation, there’s insistence that it is not.
However, at the same time, no real good explanation
is given as to where the fluid comes…[Read more]

I remember that Matt Wiszniewski, the guy at the Healing Tao
retreats that came from Poland and had an interest in Hawaiian Huna,
did some kind of healing work with tuning forks. I don’t
know if it was the same system as what you are talking about, but
it very well could be. Of course, if it is the same system, and
you were talking…[Read more]

Hi Bagua,

I don’t know that I agree completely with this perspective. 🙂
You didn’t think I’d let the dialogue end there, did you? LOL.

Two people handcuffed together are inexorably linked and
inseparable, but that does not imply that the two people overlap.
Two sets can intersect (not be disjoint) but still not be
“the same set” or…[Read more]

Nice retro song . . . I like the bit about him being just as “free as any Dog” 🙂 S

Hi Bagua,

You ask a large number of highly nontrivial questions!
As such, there are too many to answer with the level of care
as in my last post. Let me just provide you with a few nuggets
to chew on. 🙂

>>>Is the life force the Tao? Is life force every not the Tao?

ANS: The lifeforce and the Tao are NOT the same thing.
