Except for maybe “calorie restriction”, which the jury is still
out on, I don’t think *anything* lengthens or shortens your life.

I also know plenty of “health nuts” that get a lot of exercise, eat
right, and have spiritual well-being that die early! It doesn’t
seem to hold true that doing the right things make you live…[Read more]

The best I think you can do is create a group of people that
have particular ailments, divide the group in two–one a control
group, and the other a qigong group. Then after a period of time,
see what percent of each group healed. Then the results can
be used as anecdotal evidence.

As far as physical ailments, *nothing* can heal the…[Read more]

I think that all practice does is to accelerate the
transformation that is already happening naturally.

If after doing practice for a period of time, you create a certain
acceleration within yourself that you are content with, then
of course you don’t need to practice anymore. However, it
is likely that through continued practice you…[Read more]

There’s probably a component here as well.

There is still a pretty big fear-based component amongst
the general population of showing any sort of bonding desire
for fear of being viewed as gay or partly gay (as if that
should even be a problem anyway, but I digress . . .)

Contact sports provide an outlet for this desire without…[Read more]

It sounds like your group is exactly what a lot of you
need to help facilitate a journey of deep healing, and
the support gathered through continued meeting may help
to effect further releases. –S

>>And there is a slight difference, you don’t have any
>>contact with that person, I still have lots of contact,
>>and he is the father of the children.

True. And in some ways this is easier, and in some ways it’s harder.

When you don’t see the other person, you don’t have a
constant reminder of what was, you don’t have as much…[Read more]

If you are looking for practices to be physically strong,
then I’d recommend the Iron Shirt practices. The whole purpose
of them is strengthen the integrity of your body. They keep
the muscles, tendons, fascia, etc. in top form, while at the
same time they strengthen your root, your grounding, and connection
to Earth energy.

Wendy,

I can feel the truth of what you are saying at a deep level,
and empathize with your journey.

There is someone in my past that has caused me a deep amount
of pain and residual anger, and I can identify with your
situation.

One thing that has helped me to release some of the bottled
frustration is to view myself and the past…[Read more]

My theory:

“To become more than what you were” basically sums it up I think.

As human beings, we are born into this mortal coil and as we
grow up we learn the limitations of being human. We develop
fantasies of becoming more than what we were, of developing
superhuman or even supernatural talents. We secretly dream of
developing…[Read more]

The QF1 and QF2 indicies I posted are the most recent versions
from 2007. That is, they’re from the courses he gave just in
November a few months ago.

The Primordial index I posted is from 2004.

I could be wrong, but I believe that if anyone buys QF1 or QF2 audio
now, then they will get this 2007 version; and if anyone buys
the…[Read more]

Glad to hear that you are feeling better!

With the people you upset, you don’t need to go into
any details (unless of course you want to). You can
just say that you weren’t feeling well for a period of time.

Also by the way, “Shake the Tree” is just the warmup exercise where you
shake your body loose and get the chi and blood…[Read more]

I found the inverse correlation between reproduction and
lifespan interesting. With inner alchemy techniques, maybe
there was some subtle truth to your typo of “3008” . . .

. . . if indeed it were a typo, o immortal one from 4008. 🙂

Welcome to the list!

Don’t worry about your background.
There are people ranging from just beginning up to Michael himself
on this board, and everyone can participate here. In reality,
everybody is a beginner.

Regarding Yudelove, his stuff is part of Healing Tao and nothing
wrong with doing it if you find it agreeable (he is teased…[Read more]

I see someone else noticed that also.

I considered asking him what spiritual techniques I should practice now to
ensure my survival until then. 🙂
