Jernej,

I often times have trouble reading your posts; as they – at first glance – communicate as a pithy “notes to self” style that is thus more-difficult-to-fill-out-by-others”.

In this thread I’ve taken more effort to get each line, as I felt your post was a reply to my own. I’ve found it dense with meaning, worth the effort.

I think that there’s a lot to it, that popularly often gets only brief mention. The lobes and sections of the brain, how jing fills and moves through them, the various glands and how that relates to channels and transformation.

Paquas, collection pts, etc. I dropped all that stuff a while back.

Now I just hang out in the tan tiens, the deep-centers, the central channel, and the vast spaces that that it bridges to. I find that when I do that, the rest of the stuff goes along for the ride nicely.

One of the best techniques, imo. Does a lot that Taoists would applaude. Mixes breath and awareness all down through the whole vertical length of the torso. A lot of alchemical basics are taken care of,.. at least addressed, with this very simple technique. As energies get blended, its…[Read more]

I’m not in alignment with what’s going on here; I find that its an activity that I no longer wish to contribute to.

Thank you to all of the people who’ve shared wisdom and good company over these past few years. (I will occasionally check my private messages over at TaoBums.com, should any want to say “hi”.)

cheers,
