The Tao of Balanced Practice would iniclude all 4 types of qigong: sitting, standing, walking, and lying (dream practice). sounds like you got into an imblance from excess sitting, and figiured out how to cure it spontaneously. Congrads. The Wudang method of the orbit might have also prevented your condition.

Mat,
I think keith and hagar have you well covered. Your intuition is correct – Qigong Fundamentals 2 could well solve your problem. The wudang method of the orbit mixes the jing and chi bettter than any other method I have found, so I think diligent practice will resolve the issue.

Also, thanks keith for savintg a digital copy of my Iron…[Read more]

I don’t think you are reaching at all, Dylan.

I hve mentioned before my experiences working with the saami shamans north of the arctic circle,
in Finland, and noticing that their power animal, the reindeer, and their dress had been adopted by the rest of europe. The Chrisitans from Sweden invaded and tried to forbid their religion. Apparently…[Read more]

>Adyashanti, who is the main teacher I am currently studying, says he has never met anyone that guides the process to enlightnent(via HT type practices)that is anywhere near the level of those that trusts the process( “Allow everything to be as it is”)

This is a well intentioned, but ultimately dumb comment in the context at least that Golden…[Read more]

Six sections, all the movements are extremely simple. But this requires numerous repetitions with slight variations to directions or focusing on different channels/energy centers. So it is not the simplest.

Simple is 5 Animals, OPen the Orbit qigong, the fundamentals.

Mark,
I fully support testing and evaluating all methods to find the ones that work best and advance human evolution on all levels. The skeleton meditation you’ve posted, as noted below by singing ocean, is already much more eloquently developed in both the inner smile and in Qigong Fundamentals 3 & 4 bone breathing and rooting methods. You…[Read more]

There are several versions of the Inner Smile book already in different languages, awaiting development of new Iinner Smile site.

some transcripts are available at Five Animals ebook. Orbit and Fusion are transcribed, but in process of being edited. Talking and reading generate different standards…

Politics is a topic that most spiritual seekers avoid like the plague, with the exception of religious believers intent on making their belief law for everyone.

they are uncomforable seeking worldly power, it is a snake pit to them of desire and corruption. but it is one place where the rubber meets the road spiritually.

Since the Taoists…[Read more]

I was going to comment a bit on your western magical use of Saturn and its centrality to the Taoist system as well….but it can wait.

I will be in England next mid-september. We are renting Stonehenge for some Taoist-Celtic ceremonies. Email if you are interested in attending.

yes. enjoy.

>The safest strategy would be to merge with the flow of Life Force, not tring to lead it through visualizations/actualizations. It may sound like a good idea at first, but do you really think you can open the orbit by visualizing the energy flow through it? The answer is yes only if a student is already prepared for it and saved enough jing to…[Read more]

>Is it merit you are reffering to or karma?

I was speaking loosely, equating virtue with merit. To be clear, one’s innate virtue exists in the pre-natal, it is there before we are born. When we express it in the post-natal, it is called merit.

Karma is different – it is the shape of your soul pattern, expressed through your…[Read more]

FF,
I think your thinking is clear, but you are confronting a relifious belief from a particular form of Buddhism whose presuppositions you may not share. Those presuppositions have not been made clear really by Max, who would help things along here by clarifying what is Merit and who decides it according to his buddhist tradition.

I believe…[Read more]

congrads, Baba.
As you learn to open to the vibrational tones of the planetary beings, you are spontaneously expressing your merit by resolving deep soul issues.

This is not always apparent to the personality level, and thus confusing. Especially when sex is involved, exchanging jing at the same time you are opening to new levels. You’re…[Read more]

“working from the outside in” is not misleading. Its merely descriptive. It is not a judgment. The outside merely refers to action in the outer physical world, using it to experience yourself and thus know the self more deeply.

This is essential in fulfilling one’s worldly destiny – but not with a goal towards accumulating merit. One’s merit…[Read more]

Thanks Chris for that lovely collection of Taoit wisdom.

I think these passagess highlight the difference between taoism and other religions like Buddhism and Hinduism. Most religions assume their followers are spiritually ignorant and tell them how to live righteously; this eventually becomes dogma, i.e. your ticket to heaven is doing what we…[Read more]

All psychics can only tell you what is already present in your field, i.e. what you (your collective soul team, your shen) already know about you. The good ones can bring to your attention issues that you are not aware of. This just means that your shen know you aren’t paying attention to them, so they are happy to communicate with someone else…[Read more]

Please send to me any emails that have gone unanswered since we moved the office Oct. 24. Send to me at winn@healingdao.com

And let me know if you cannot get through during contact hours or don’t get a call back. Nancy has done a good job of getting office re-organized after the chaos of the move, but I am interested in knowing if her system…[Read more]

But what’s interesting is how quickly the New Age speak is penetrating into Chinese consciousness – i.e. Quantum Buddha….

What a hoot.

by the way, yoga is bigger in China right now than qigong…..They are just like everyone else, the grass is always greener elsewhere.

Some brave human had to take a BIG gamble to create the first lineage, as they had no one to follow….

which brings us back to issues I have raised previously – there is no lineage that does functions beyond the principles of the Life Force. They are ALL dependent on it. So “safest” strategy, given that it is hard to tell from earthly…[Read more]
