Republic Of Zen

I am stook in this place where I dont know what to do to become happy. I am trying to let go of control but it just isnt happening. I have been stuck in this headspace for months now. Example, right now I am trying to think of a physical excecise and a mediation to get the energy moving, but I can think of what I want to do. I havent felt like doing chigong in ages. If I make myself do chigong is that the ego winning?

On Saturday I am goig to European Rainbow Gathering oF the Family of Light in Greece. 10 days of banging a drum naked in the sun eating good food. No drunk people for kilometers! For people who dont know it, its basically woodstock without the bands. After Greece might head to the one in Germany or Netherlands. Just finished a Taoist workshop with Kris Deva North. Everyday I will do Iron Shirt Chi Kung, Steel Body Tia Chi, microcosmic orbit, inner smile, caldron of fusion, fountain and open various pyschic channels. That and pratice the bodhran!

Ha thanks! I generally beat people at staring competitions.

Hit the nail on the head. Humans, like other apes, naturally form large organisations and the ones at the top will likely abuse thier power. I'm both Buddhist and a voluntaryist. Wake up and hcose whether or not you want a ruler.

Thanks. The space is open for workshops. Wonder if I could teach qigong.

I find your comment antagonistic. Are you saying you cant be a child in finance or an adult in energy work? Mantak Chia gives warnings. he wants you to do the workshops and read the books. If you choose to only read the books thats your own business. I recommend you dont accuse people of things without backing your accusations. You come out jealous by just randomly attacking Mantak Chia.

As adults its not Mantak Chias fault for that people dont follow nessicary safety precautions.

I shall join your sect.

Best advice.

Do you have a link to an audio version of that book? Typicaly his are written down versions of his discourses. I listen to Osho at work and couldnt think of what to move on to.

Hopefully I can tell you next week. I only sponanteously become aware of my energy body. Working on with Kris Dev North this weekend.

Oh I googled this. I found packing difficult so I dont do it. I breathe with my attention on my dantian. This is how I try to breath all day long and how I meditate. Micheal Winn gives some insite. Packign isnt dangerous, some people just do it wrong or strain themselves. "Master Chia's warning not to hold the packed breath if strain is felt goes unheeded." http://www.precisiondocs.com/~altaoism/IS1WinnGentleEasyWay.htm I'm going to consult my teahcer two weeks about this.

Sorry I dont understand what the packing practices are.

Well now we're out in the open talking about it. How would you describe your skin after practising?

I have been practing Mantak Chia Iron Shirt methods for a few months, my teach is Kris Deva North. I am very happy I have found it as it has helped me in many ways. Helped me managed my energy more efficiently, I was getting dizzy from tantra energy practices. It feels good doing them so I do them. My skin is notably "better". I can take a beating for long periods of time. I had a scar on my chest from falling down three flights of stairs, a doctor told me it would take 10 years to heal, it was gone after a month of doing iron Shirt. The practices help me feel ground and more balanced. I understand that some traditional Taoists would dislike his practices because he has wasternised it to make it more appealing to his audience. There is no visable Taoist teacher to follow so I will continue reading his books and following his path. I will drop him for another teacher if I meet one in person. I am going traveling soon so if I randomly some across a Shaloin Temple I would study there. I have been looking for people to point specifics in his tachings which are wrong. At the moment I am only seeing vague comments. At the moment I'm just considering it to be rivial from competing schools.

no. she threatened call the police because i left the toilet seat up. I'm going somewhere 8km away from nearest road. rainbow gathering of the family of light greece.

this helps my journey thanks.

"the leper with the most fingers" I dont understand this phrase. People dont seem to like his material but he has a lot and there isnt really anyone else to follow?

Try microcosmic orbit. I recommend Mantak Chia.

No dude this is awesome. Going to explore alternative communities in Europe. Lots of places you can go mediate and eat healthy food.

Ah Taoist libertarians! :-) I handed in my resignation yesterday. Been kicked out of my appartment. I'm taking the little money I ahve totravel and find a temple to live in.

this makes me sad.

I believe he masculine feminine thing is just symbolic and I wouldnt get too hng up on it. What is or is not masculine or feminine doesnt seem to be agreed upon even within similar cultures.

I meditate with my eyes closed because it is easier. I will move to eyes open when I move toa monastery.
