Usa Healing dao in light of Chia

>>>but somehow I’m now more interested about those Dover books
>>>which I have also ordered or will order in near future
>>>(Undergraduate Topology by Robert Kasriel,
>>>Introduction to Vector and Tensor Analysis by Robert C. Wrede,
>>>Group Theory in Quantum Mechanics: An Introduction to

Kasriel’s book is probably the best intro book on Set Topology
there is, in my opinion (assuming one has a basic background
in proof theoretic techniques / beginning analysis).

Vector and Tensor Mathematics is probably my favorite
non-research area of math. Sidenote: I am presently writing
a book on the subject, and have about 300 pages written thus
far. Upon completion, I expect it to be more than 1000 pages long.

Depends on what you mean by “Taoist practice”; the Healing Tao
alchemy formulas can get quite complex and powerful, depending
on what you are looking for.

Pratyahara (Devanâgarî प्रत्याहार) or the ‘withdrawal of the senses’ is the fifth element among the Eight stages of Patanjali’s Ashtanga Yoga, as mentioned in his classical work, Yoga Sutras of Patanjali composed in the 2nd century BCE.
It is a bridge between the bahiranga (external) aspects of yoga namely, yama, niyama, asana, pranayama, and the antaranga (internal) yoga. Having actualized the pratyahara stage, a practitioner is able to effectively engage into the practice of Samyama. At the stage of pratyahara, the consciousness of the individual is internalized in order that the sensations from the senses of taste, touch, sight, hearing and smell don’t reach their respective centers in the brain and takes the sadhaka (practitioner) to next stages of Yoga, namely Dharana (concentration) and Dhyana (meditation), and Samadhi (mystical absorption), being the aim of all Yogic practices…pratyahara is derived from two Sanskrit words: prati and ahara, with ahara meaning food, or anything taken into ourselves, and prati, a preposition meaning away or against. Together they mean “weaning away from ahara”, or simply ingestion.
-WIKIPEDIA

Swami Sivananda Saraswati has somewhere stated that innerlife can start to grow only when one is able completely to immobilize one’s body for over four hours.

So if this would be true, and one would have been able to solve some technical problems, there are seemingly still quite a few external karmic aspects to be neutralized.

I asked about this Iron Shirt book because from Master Chia’s output especially his ‘The Inner Structure of Tai Chi: Mastering the Classic Forms of Tai Chi Chi Kung’ is nearly as perfect that one can expect in this kind of conditions. My opinion is that there is no need to search for some perfect collection of forms, because it introduces all essential techniques with few classical forms. With many later ones immediate impression might be that financial gains have been more important than creating something really usable.

If only these DVD & CD homestudy courses would be available more easily, I would for sure start to study them first of all for information.

The 2012 Summer Olympic Games, officially the Games of the XXX Olympiad, also known informally as London 2012, began in London, United Kingdom on 27 July and will continue until 12 August 2012. The first event, the group stages in women’s football, began two days earlier, on 25 July. More than 10,000 athletes from 204 National Olympic Committees (NOCs) are expected to participate.

Master Chia is about the only one who can get away with practicing
things to extreme levels, because he is doing practices
consistently several hours a day via all his workshops.
Very few other people do this. Doing it for short-term,
provided the person’s channels are open, there is very
little problem.

According to the Mo-Pai tradition, there are seventy-two Levels of Power that make up the steps to ultimate enlightenment, the greatest point of human existence. That much I had learned from John Chang. Mention of these levels is universal. The Sufis say that there are 72,000 veils between God and man. Hindu yogis talk about either the seventy-two chakras of the human body or the 72,000 nadis that must be opened before the thousand-petalled lotus blooms.

Having real possibility to internalize one’s practice might be quite rare, so maybe also enlightenment and metastability are matter of competition.

Somehow maybe even much more serious as for example Olympic Games.

Should one think that all these questions have been already solved in the past for the eternity?
