Hello Sifu Terry, as regards worldwide events you mentioned in a previous post the importance of specifying the location where one practice... can I ask why?

this friday is 21st

Sorry but as I've stated before, in general I've some problem with that schedule on Fridays, this week for exemple I can't however I'm almost always free from 5:30am to 10/10:30am (speaking of Fridays)

I'd like to thank Aurelian for organizing this, also Sifu Terry and Leif!

If isn't a problem I'd prefer DVD1/2 meditations, possibly not MSW3 since in Italy is pre-sleep time

Pitisukha

This week I can be in at 12-13 PST only on Friday

I'm in Europe too, usually I practice 0:00-2:00am or 5:30-8:30am PST sometimes 11.30-1.00pm but it's uncommon

Comprehensive and detailed answer as usual, thank you for your help!

Hello Sifu Terry, regarding mastering the various meditations: My actual practice includes 18 reps of BTB (45 minutes, thighs parallel to ground) and 7 reps of MSW1 (30 minutes), for a total of 1:30 (including the preparation) Let's presume this is the total time I can find during the day, is it better to do less repetitions of BTB in order to practice also other meditations? or is it better to alternate the various meditations between days? also, big question, how can one know to have mastered a particular meditation?

I'm in the 2nd group: Europe, Italy I don't have a fixed practice time. Some days I practice in the morning, say 9:00am - 11:00am, some days in the afternoon 2:30pm - 5:30pm The sun rises 9 hours before California so your time band correspond to 7:00pm - 10:30pm (quite good for my morning days )

wow this's a great idea! hoping time zone will not be a problem..

welcome mrwhy!

Thank you for your reply, it's well appreciated

Thank you for your opinion, can you give some examples of pre heaven ways? Anyway I'm truly interested in tao stillness thoughts on my previous post! (and any other FP practitioner of course )

Welcome Sploosh, maybe this can answer your questions #347208 #220384 #191264

Sorry but I don't get this.. If the chi kung method is designed to clear energy blockages, aren't people with more blockages the ones that should see the most of benefits? If I have not flu and get some C vitamin I don't see any evident result for example

Two nights ago, after one session of MSW1, I went to sleep... Then I've experienced what I think was sleep paralysis. I woke up (at least this seems to me) but I can't move my body in any way.. It seemed like someone was pushing over my chest and kept me blocked to the bed. I asked a few time what he/it wanted, then I instinctively moved my hands in the vitarka mudra... everything gradually vanished. After a while when most of fear was gone I opened my eyes and realized that actually my hands were not in the vitarka mudra

Thank you for the reply. The "hear the heartbeat" that I get seems to me more like the one you get after a strenuous session of training or a fast run, maybe an increase in blood pressure? I might be wrong, of course I've found this chart here http://www.astrodreamadvisor.com/Qi-Cycle.html however at first sight I don't see any relation with it and what I'm experiencing

Please forgive the auto-quote.. but now this happens every time Can this be an obstacle to the free flow of FP energy? Should I raise my horse stance or continue until eventually the body adapt to the lower posture?

I've noticed in my daily practice of Bending The Bow that sometimes my heart rate increase quite noticeably. Also the "strength" of the beats is apparently increasing, I can hear my heartbeat in my eardrums. However this doesn't happen everytime. Dose anyone have this experience?

A great post that gives inspiration to start the new year with the right foot, FP foot Thank you situ Terry and Happy New Year to everyone

Hello Sifu Terry, Talking about Jhanas, did you know Ajhan Brahm? What do you think of his exposition of jhanas? Also, is it possible to expericence the four immaterial jhanas, infinite space, infinite consciousness, nothingness, neither perception nor nonperception, during FP practice? thank you

No, for ShivaShakti
