vidiami replied to the topic Rethink the 3 amigos in the forum General 19 years, 11 months ago
Just wanted to mention that in chi kung basics 3/4 Michael Winn teaches just that – breathing through the heels saying that’s the best way to open up and ground yourself. 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]

vidiami replied to the topic zhang zhuang in the forum General 19 years, 12 months ago
I guess that this is what happened to me about a year ago. 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]

vidiami replied to the topic Born again Christians!!!! in the forum General 20 years ago
I don’t think it’s possible to win that argument. 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]

vidiami replied to the topic Primordial chi kung in the forum General 20 years ago
That’s a new one to me. 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.

Thanks guys…
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.In the video Michael says the form is good for…[Read more]

Have you looked into this in more detail? Sounds interesting… But what does it take to get a scholarship? And how long to get a degree?
Peace.

vidiami replied to the topic What the hell with the Tan Tien? in the forum General 20 years ago
In the book “opening the dragon gate – the making of a modern Taoist wizard”, the idea seems to be that the location of the tan tien varies with the distance to the equator the person in question is living. 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]
