He actually has a set of five postures (or around) where you stand with straight legs, weight on heels, and doing a few breathing techniqes. I think you start with breathing up…[Read more]

I was practising zhan zhuang (from Stand still, be fit) and felt great. Then after some time I started to get into problems. Scary things like a racing, irregular heartbeat, the stomach felt like a pounding heart on its own after eating and some other stuff too. At the time I didn’t…[Read more]

In my opinion born again christians are some of the most fearprone people around and that fear will stop any reason from entering. It’s not arguments against arguments – it’s about trying to reason with fear – and that’s a never win situation.

You would imagine that if you could find something…[Read more]

Is it your own invention? I guess it’ll mix left and right even more.

By the way I emailed Michael asking if he considered making a second “advanced” video for primordial and if he still was writing the book. No – video, yes – book. The book would be mostly about the historical background of the form.

So, we seem to be at least 4 guys on this board doing this form. It would be nice to hear how this practice unfolds over time for you. I’m in an intense “primordial period” right now (doing the form twice or thrice a day) and I hope I can keep it up too see what happens over time.

Sounds interesting… But what does it take to get a scholarship? And how long to get a degree?

A person in China would then have his tan tien in a slightly different location to someone living in the west. Or so the idea is anyway. This…[Read more]
