She had a heart transplant some years back.

It could be excess; it could be deficiency.

My dad also had his gallbladder removed, and he was constitutionally only 3% wood with an overactive metal (which cuts wood even more).

Others burn out their gallbladder from too much wood energy, too much yang push-push, trying to do too many things.

Gallbladder also stores the negative emotion…[Read more]

The shen are distributed throughout the body and are not located in any one specific organ. The organ is just the shen’s home address.

If you are biologically still alive without the needed organ, then the shen are still functioning together as a unit. Otherwise, you would not be able to keep living.

Moreover, each five element organ…[Read more]

When I say ALCHEMY, I’m talking about Healing Tao alchemy.
That’s what I do, and that’s what this Forum is based on.
Not on other systems.

There are plenty of systems out there that focus on the third eye as their main transformational tool, but we do not want a body-spirit split in the Healing Tao. In our belief system, we want the body…[Read more]

The correct answer is 2) blow your horn like you are going to whip their beep’n a**

REASON: It’s your duty to let idiots know that they have done something idiotic. Otherwise, they will be lead to believe that such a thing is OK to do, and then they will likely do it again later on . . . to someone else . . . possibly leading to the injury or…[Read more]

Yes, Cosmic Healing is definitely like this.
A big emphasis is to keep your attention on the dantian and the universe.
You want to continually be funneling energy from the universe to your dantian, and then out to the patient you are healing as a continuous stream.

This is to amplify the amount of energy you deliver to your patient, while at…[Read more]

Not only are CFLs unhealthy via the light they produce, but if they break, you get exposed to mercury.

I’ve never heard of this, but it sounds reasonable to me.
Getting out of one’s head and deep into your body is key to making alchemy work.

Sounds wonderful 🙂

The Earth is so nurturing and motherly.
It sounds like you were able to tap into that.
Keep it up!

Sounds exciting!
Feel free to share any further developments. 🙂

There are not a lot of inverted postures or positions in Healing Tao qigong. Even in the entire Tao Yin yoga, there isn’t anything where you invert. The closest would be in the Cricket posture (which I don’t usually do). Inversion is pretty rare. The Iron Bridge–Yin Position from IS1 is one that comes to mind. Some movement qigong, such as…[Read more]

Wow! Sounds great.
Sounds like you really got in deep.
Congrats. 🙂

This is why I recommend to all folks that they make grounding the number one practice. When someone gets deeply grounded, emotional reactivity decreases to a minimum and one can detach from their emotions.

Without adequate grounding, too much qi in the head fuels crazy thinking which amplifies emotional instability.

Without adequate…[Read more]

I’m going to tell you the same thing I told c_howdy a little bit ago and I will do it using a color that will hopefully get your attention:

Please be mindful of Forum guidelines

Otherwise, I will have to start deleting posts.

This section in the book is really a preview of the macrocosmic orbit meditation in Fusion 3. When you get to Fusion 3 material, you will explore this more comprehensively; it can be skipped in the intervening time. The “version” of the macrocosmic orbit meditation given in the “Awaken Healing Energy” book is a simplified version, and is not…[Read more]

Note: Qabalah is actually a Aleister Crowley spelling and his variation on the Kabbalah (different spelling). But I’m not going to argue over terms as the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn is not my area of expertise. I had an ex-gf who was/is really interested in the Golden Dawn and the BOTA (teachings of Paul Foster Case), but I never really…[Read more]

>>>the emphasis on the kidneys is on the water
>>>running through them
>>>the emphasis on the liver
>>>is on the bile within it…

Of course.

And I think the white for the lungs is really connected with
the clouds in the sky, part of the atmosphere, or the air we surround ourselves with.
I was just pointing out that the organ…[Read more]

Both the kidneys and the liver are reddish brown, but we use blue/black and green respectively for these. Lungs are more of pinkish/gray than white. The physical organ color doesn’t really match the 5 element model qi energetics. Only the heart, also being reddish brown, is close to the color red.

In the Daoist 5-element model, the adrenals…[Read more]
