I didn’t have much luck getting good stuff on yiquan on the web. My favorite yiquan books are Everyday Chi Kung by Lam Kam Chuen, and Warriors of Stillness volume 2 (need to go to the warriorsofstillness.com .org(?) website to order it.

The big lesson I’ve learned is that you have to do it outside to pick up on all the energy going on out…[Read more]

I just read the rainbow practice too. I’ve read several yiquan books, but haven’t encountered this spirit before. I’ll have to check into YP Dong. Since learning about sungazing, it has occured to me that yiquan masters have tapped into this practice at least to some extent. The most famous photo of Wang Xiangzhai actually practicing–it seems…[Read more]

Most programs are geared for getting a PhD and the job situation isn’t stellar at the moment. I got an MA in Buddhist Studies at Naropa in Boulder, CO and it was outstanding. You can get a BA at Naropa and also take classes at U. of Colorado and split it up. The psychology program at Naropa is very good too.

Tried it yet? But then again, you’ll start sleeping in like Ron and the rest of you retired guys who have somehow managed to get their wives into the yoke via past life merit. Just do what you can when you wake up and report back.

If you can deal, try barefoot. Some say they are surprised by their cold weather hardiness while SGing. I was…[Read more]

Enough theory–watch a sunrise and let me know what happens!

Prediction: it’ll blow you away.

It’s badass!

Actually, it’s too short. 9months is too short a time period for the average person to make such gigantic strides, if they are even possible in the first place.

I’m always a true believer and I’ve already convinced myself that the practice is seriously powerful. Many have claimed to replicate the above results. Many have…[Read more]

Back in 93, at the height of my new age involvement, I became convinced that there were “earth changes” coming and that the age of aquarius was right around the corner so I figured I could live off my credit cards till then (I was homeless so life was cheap). That aspect didn’t work out, but I had fun and then Mrs. Yoda, who was employed, took me…[Read more]

As Trungpa Rinpoche said, “You never get to finish your book.”

Right now, I have a neighbor three doors down who just mysteriously stopped showing up for work, his business partner says he’s on drugs, various girls are in and out of the place (I’m all for that part) and my next door neighbor says he’s got his gun collection all laid out on his…[Read more]

Right now, I can see the sunrise from my backyard but in the summer I’ll need to drive, not walk, a half mile to see it. Maybe if the practice really improves me, I’ll walk.

Love that song. It sounds like your friend is one.

Sungazing make you a natural mystic. Just stand and watch the sunrise or sunset. Watch the pre-rise and the embers too. The beauty, energy, intelligence, bliss seem to arise of their own accord. If you do it as a ritual habit, the feelings seem to grow over time.

If you watch the…[Read more]
