Maaaaaaaaaaaaaate, (sorry, that’s how we talk sometimes, it’s meant to emphasise “wooooow”),
there sure is much revealed in these practices. I noticed that sometimes, some unspecific tension emerges afterwards, sort of like being pissed off at nothing in particular. Must be remnant tension in the…[Read more]

Yeah, that’s how it been recently, more of a gentle massage rather than the obvious pulsation that happened initially.

Saying that the slow exhale “touches” the sacrum was a pretty poor description on my part. But I’m glad you knew what I was trying to say.

Did you get those points ie hui yin (and ming men?) activated using the little orbit?

Intersting that you raise that, Trunk.
This is meant as an inquiry based on what I’ve experienced so far.

I experienced the sacrum pulsing only once, it may have been a fluke, or:

– I have since been trying “too” hard
– I need to do it after gathering much qi

In any case, I have noticed latelly that although it hasn’t pulsated, I…[Read more]

I wasn’t serious, it was more of a sarcastic question. I just had a comical picture in my head of people walking into each other.

But I agree with your DNA hypothesis and the way that alchemy allows for our cosmic expansion. Great insight.

If you can find a competant herbalist, they will be able to help. lizhihe AKA semen litchi or lychee seed is good for moving stagnant liver qi.
But as with most chinese herbs, concentration, combination and duration of dosage is very specific for each individual. So if you can, it willl help to see a good herbalist.

I found that simple taichi…[Read more]

I have not begun the semen retention practices as I have not reached that level of qigong yet. So I don’t claim to know the answers in realtion to that.
However I did experience daily pain and aches in the testicles (specifically in the epididymis), for about 10 months a while back. It was usually subsequent to, and at times coincided with…[Read more]

I’m just wondering that if the above proposition becomes a reality, how crowded will this earth become?

Oh yeah, and prolonged physical life without shen cultivation? = immature 235 year old.

Thanks Johnson.
I’m with you there. The way the food is grown and prepared is important. We have some organic and biodynamic growers in my area.

Another important element is smiling into the food/drink. This can be while it is growing, being prepared and before being eaten.

Michael mentioned that in his inner smile book. It was also…[Read more]

Hi Wendy.
You probably already know about flower essence, but I wanted to let you now about these.
Australian Bush Flower Essence produce both single flower and combination formulas.
For example, the “meditation essence” is designed to, among other things. ‘………..enhance access to higher self while providing psychic protection and healing…[Read more]

Yes, Price was a pioneer into researching the degenerative affects of modern refined diets.
The lowering of genetic quality can occur from a few years of eating refined grains and sugar. This may not be evidenced to a large degree within the person themselves, however, the offspring almost always exhibit the effects in some way.
My friend who…[Read more]

Thank you for such a heart felt post Snowlion.
Sounds like Ron was one of those carismatic shining lights.
Although my only communication with Michael Winn has been via email and this forum, I am trully grateful for his sharing and caring intent.
That also applies to you and everyone elses’ sharing on the forum too.

Indeed, the old saying…[Read more]

Thanks Trunk.
Of course, movement is easy to learn by observation, which isn’t possible from a book – as there’s no motion or fluidity in illustrations, even if it’s accompanied by explanation,
So I’ll get the dvd as you suggest.

“Getting paid for study hours” – I wish.

Yes, indeed. Thanks for explaining that, Trunk.
The past couple of days have been interesting.
Yi swallows chi has been soooooooooo good. It hasn’t gone very deep yet, but that doesn’t matter, best to let it make it’s way down gently. Because it’s summer here in Auatralia, it is indeed better practiced in the morning.

The first time I tried…[Read more]

Thanks Trunk and Hagar for your advise and the exercises, I very much appreciate it.
I am continuing to have herbs to tonify the yin and conserve the essence (I should have mentioned that) I also noticed that onions aggravate the yang too much.

It seems that you are right by suggesting that there might be too much emphases on accumulation and…[Read more]

I appreciate the info, thanx mate.

It’s disapointing, that from an Australian perspective, “our” government has blindly supported the US and Britain in almost every example outlined in this speech, not the least of which being Iraq.
The prime minister has now placed australia on the terrorist hit list by doing so.
Some people from australia trvelling internationally (for…[Read more]

I love the zen koan

sitting quietly
doing nothing
the spring comes
and the grass grows by itself

I used to sit or stand for long periods, doing nothing but watching the breath. So peaceful and relaxing, and the mind sooner or later stoped, if only briefly, or sometimes long periods.
Then I would feel the blood flowing through the feet…[Read more]

Lovely post rainbowbear.
This forum was just becoming a bit too crazy. Lots of satan connotations (isn’t that siding with a polarity?) and heaps of exclamation marks in those posts – heavy.
Maybe your post will serve as a frog which will devour the mosquitoes and their larve.

Michael, is the “wudang method of the orbit, with a spinning pearl” on your fundamentals #2? “cause I’m getting it soon.
Thanx, – mat

NN, <>
That’s what I meant when I said that it is a spontaneous flowering of meditaion/cultivation. It just arises in the present, and you go with it. And because it is of the present moment, it is alive.

I agree, because that thinking will probably be sourced from memory or some idea about what is right/wrong, which is almost always based on…[Read more]
