Elements, pieces, aspects of it RESEMBLE and elicit the same principles I learned in Bagua. I watch it and say to myself, yeah, that move is just like this move in Bagua. Or, if she would just extend and connect that tendon line in that move she would have so much more juice. Or, wow, she is doing the moves but isn’t really grasping the…[Read more]

I have to somewhat agree with Plato in essence if not in tone.

Since we talk about energy so much here I think it is relevant to look at simple physics.

Everyone knows the formula.

Burn as much as you take in.

Means, move body more, eat less to lose weight.

So why are there so many fat people.

Nothing simple, is simple.

Hi there Max.

One Caveat for our new friend Dragonbones.

While there may be some useful information at the site of the self styled “Meditation Expert” it should be pointed out in all fairness that this information has little to no connection with Taoism.

If you are new to this Forum you will not be aware that there is an ongoing effort by…[Read more]

I think the basic piece of the puzzle which the Taoist emphasize is the need to keep a strong connection with the earth. The human mediates a connection between heaven and earth.

Michael has said in one of the Chi Kung fundamentals course that the main reason he is a taoist and not a yogi, or hindu, or ….whatever, is the unique emphasis by…[Read more]

How did you arrive at the point that you were knowledgeable enough to “strip down the practices”?

Did you not study in depth?

How can you play music if you first don’t learn the scales?

I get it, we all who dwell here on occassion understand you of the many voices don’t agree with Michael.

I think the majority of us, though I only…[Read more]

I agree with the previous post on Soy Milk.

Organic soy – good, but all soy, even raised organically is from GMO stock.
Soy is the MOST GMO crop in the world.

Fermented vs Non fermented.

When I used to go to health food stores in California they had one or two fresh soy milks in the refrigerator.

They didn’t taste as nice as the…[Read more]

I cannot speak for Michael but we have discussed the subject.

In the end all nutritional inputs are External elixir which can support your training. I could take beneficial herbs all day long, but without practice the might make me more healthy, but they will not create alchemy.

As mentioned before, I am involved in the herbal industry.

In my opinion the quality of Dragonherbs products are UNPARRELLED in the industry.

Cordyceps – agree with earlier comments. I’ve added this to my daily regimen for various reasons including to strengthen my lungs.

They have a tincture of Schizandra and Lycium which is great for…[Read more]

Yoda, Yoda, Yoda.

Shouldn’t you be in a mud hut in a swamp on Dagoba?

Now that would keep you in touch with the elements for sure.

Just spent 5 days with an accumulated total of 1 hour on the computer. Boy are my eyes happy.

I sit in my cave doing my thing every day. Don’t even get the “benefit” of jumping in a car to do the commute…[Read more]

Yoga – Self Realization. I think that is a broad term for it.
Hatha Yoga – Physical exercises are what most people define as Yoga. (at least in my experience in the USA.

I am no Yoga expert in either practice, or lore.

Tai Chi – A nice light dancelike martial art practices by old…[Read more]
