M. Chia had many teachers and
assembled all knowledge into what is
known as the Universal Healing Tao today.
In particular, the Iron Shirt practices
came from other teachers, not One Cloud.

As to what grounding practices (if any) came from
One Cloud, that is unknown . . . but most
of the Iron Shirt came from other teachers,
and not…[Read more]

I mostly agree with this . . . S

I’ll let Michael speak for himself, but
from my experience Michael has on occasion
done some of the eye-movement stuff in the
Healing Sounds before, but not nearly to the
extent or infatuation that Chia now does.

As to whether “it is good or not”, the
real question is whether or not is
“good for you”. I don’t think there is a…[Read more]

Methods passed on by enlightened people / immortals / what have you,
were presented/given to specific people, and under specific conditions.

Now HT methods are taught to the masses without any real concern
as to who is being taught, what their background is, what experience
they have, what problems/traumas they are coming in with, etc.…[Read more]

What you are describing, is what I would call a “measured pace”.
I.E. progressing at a rate that makes sense for YOU and not
someone else’s idea . . . too slow means boredom and impatience,
too fast means receiving more change/adjustment than maybe
you are ready to handle. It requires a lot of “prajna ” aka
wisdom/insight to understand…[Read more]

Chia was even doing this back in 2007 when I first took a
retreat with him. It’s kind of a nice technique, so long as
you don’t use it as an escape to avoid learning lessons
that troublesome emotions and life experiences provide, in my view.

Most of the material presented by Chia (and Michael) is
innovative, and not part of the…[Read more]

Hang in there, adel . . .

Remember, you are in control of how much you process . . .

If it gets to be too much, just back off a little and
enjoy life 😉

Doing a lot of grounding practices, will stabilize
your emotions, and you will find you will not need
to process as much during Fusion.

Support and qi to your practice,

>>>Is wu wei a thing to achieve or a way to live life?

It is a way to live life, but for those that don’t live
that way, it is therefore both.

>>>I wonder what could be a qi-dream?

Doing alchemy/meditation during the dream state
and getting a powerful qi response, c.f. post below
on qigong/meditation while dreaming.

and for some nice translations of books
of the Dao Canon, this website is goodhttp://home.comcast.net/~taoistresource/doe_idx.htm

Having the pursuit of happiness as a goal
implies you currently lack it.

Trying to be happy means you are not happy currently,
and it is something you are seeking.

Happiness is not something to seek, to pursue,
to try, to look for . . .

All of these imply that you lack something,
that the way you are now, is somehow not good…[Read more]

This would be a good summer to take it.
The Kan and Li’s run in alternation,
and Greater is not offered this year.

If you take Lesser this summer, it gives you
the option to take Greater next year.
Otherwise, it could be 3 or more years
before you could take Greater.

I’ve been having some intense dream experiences recently.

One, the qigong/meditation experience from dream reference point
I shared in the other article. It’s something I hope to do more
of in the future. I think it has the potential to generate
a serious expansion of consciousness.

Two, on a different note, I’ve had a recurring dream…[Read more]

which Kan and Li?

Fantastic!

Taking these things live is a much different experience
than just doing homestudy. You get complete immersion,
you are surrounded by a lot of high energy friendly
people, you get acceleration from the group energy,
and it’s a lot of fun. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.

Only a little over a month away for your retreat . . .

Moderation in all things
INCLUDING Moderation itself
It pays to be extreme at times.

Looks fantastic.
Wished I lived in CA.

Best wishes on your workshop series,
