I do feel some anger coming through your posts.
Sort of a frustration that “people just don’t get it” . . .
Maybe that’s just my feeling I get from reading though and from not
having the advantage of being able to talk genuinely and
in person. That’s the limitation of this sort of medium I suppose.
Smiles to you, nonetheless. ^_^Also,…[Read more]

There is more to sexuality than sex.
Obsession with sexuality really is about not finding simply sex to be sufficient.
It’s more an intense interest in coupling sex with heart connection, with passion, with emotional intensity, with love, with taking it beyond the mundane and into the
super-spiritual, with feeling totally saturated with the…[Read more] -

I wonder what he means by “whole of earth”.
If you find the background info, please share.
I guess otherwise we wait for Michael to weigh in.Best,

I don’t understand what you mean by “whole earth view”.
I must not have been present for your earlier discussion.
Could you please explain what this means?Keep in mind that DHQ and Primordial have an intention
built into them. In particular, DHQ is meant for deep healing
and for affecting your manifest life–thus the form is
done…[Read more] -

Becoming aware of what is already present
is a major player in the practice. As you
become aware of these things, it can be
overwhelming, as you’ve been living in “darkness”
up until that point.As this awareness awakens, suddenly a new respect
and appreciation for grounding dawns. Suddenly
a practice that didn’t seem spiritual or…[Read more] -
Steven replied to the topic Deep Healing Qigong Question in the forum Practice 15 years, 3 months ago
Deep Healing Qigong is a fantastic form, my personal favorite.
Your question of starting with Fire is a good one.
DHQ is an adaptation of a medical qigong form.
Most medical qigong forms have the practitioner begin by
facing south (the Fire direction). The reason for this,
to my understanding, is to give honor to the Heart, which
is…[Read more] -

Yes, I agree with what you said completely.
I only used the word “tend” because I wanted to
soften the blow, a little bit. ๐Re: partnered situations
Part of my experience in partnered situations is
that a Scorpio can help a Scorpio partner by giving
full communication at every step of the way . . . so that
as the partner experiences…[Read more] -

Doing both Primordial and Deep Healing Qigong are
a powerful combination, but sometimes too powerful ๐Add in the Big Dipper Qigong also and you have a
collection of three potent forms . . .Warning: If you were to do all three in combination
(say on the same day), you better buckle up. ๐S

Sort of speaking in general, I think Scorpios have the
following characteristics (and being one, I think, gives
me additional insight):1. Intense interest in spirituality, life, and death.
2. Obsession with sexuality.
3. Tend to do things with intensity.
4. Tend to be extremely passionate when in love.
5. Experience emotions…[Read more] -

Buddhist approach here is Theravadan Buddhism,
much different from my posts on “ZBuddhism”
(lower on the same page).In particular, these views (Theravadan Buddhist)
are too negative and life-unembracing, and focus

Other than doing some *very gentle* tapping around the area,
I don’t know that I would do much in a physical way while the
area is still healing. It would be better I think to just do
a lot of Inner Smile to the area and encourage the body’s natural
processes to heal it on its own. Some bone breathing exercises
could be combined in…[Read more] -

Hello Ryan,
Keep in mind, that all is Tao . . . so in particular, it is quite
easy to supplement Daoism with external insights from other

Yes, millions of people get root canals, but millions of

Hi Ryan, Great to hear from you.
Nice surprise to see you post. Keep it up. ๐Basically, the following is what I consider my Zen practice:
1. Periodically reflect on the truth of the Four Noble Truths.

3. Do some periodic Zen sitting practice.

Steven replied to the topic Bone breathing in the forum Practice 15 years, 3 months ago
So long as it feels OK to you, I do not see why not.
Usually some muscle contraction is used to help perform
bone compression as a training aid for bone breathing.
But if it feels too intense, back off.
In particular, I’d caution against this practice with
people who have blood pressure issues, as I suspect that
this practice would…[Read more] - Load More
