Hello everyone, Like the title suggest, are there any good TCM herbs suppliers in EU that sells online? I need some single herbs Thanks

Hello everyone! I'd like to buy a Neijing Tu chart (maybe in color), to put on the wall of my study. Can anyone tell me where i can buy good quality ones online?

This would be fine enough in size but the resolution is very poor

Thanks for your suggestion but I was looking for a high res picture (like was asked in the op)

Sorry for resuming this old post but I'm also searching for an high resolution Xiuzhen tu chart and the links above doesnt work anymore. Anyone has working links? Thanks

Please anyone with these file can upload them again? Thanks

Hello everyone! I'll make the story short and say that right now I can't have a good Zhan Zhuang teacher. I'd like to know what are the best detailed sources for good body alignments (video or books)? Right now I'm reading through Mark Choen's inside Zhan zhuang, is there anything better than this? Thanks

What are those meditations (sitted, standing)? I was taught a sitting meditation in a private lesson...

Being far from bums for a long time... I'm curious, has DVD 6 ever been released? Also if I remember correctly, there was talk of a probable FPCK book? Has it ever been published?

Hello everyone, After a long period of tribulations with his illness, my father is finally going to leave his physical body. At present it his under sedation because the pain, caused by the cancer growth, was unbearable. I'd like to ask to sifu Terry and to everyone who wants to answer (I don't know if this question was asked before): Is it safe to practice FP in the same room where he is sleeping? Can practicing FP in this way help him in passing away? I ask this because when he was conscious he talked about some evil visions he had when he was next to death at some point during the long cancer progress

Hi Kshanti, I feel near to you because I started practicing 3 years ago but never experienced any spectacular effects as other describe. I've also learned from Sifu the long sitted form (50 30 10) not present on the dvd's, via skype. I'm currently practicing daily at least 40 minutes. Usually doing standing+sitting meds Exemples are: - Long standing + long sitting - Moonbeam + MSW1 - Wind through treetops + MSW2 - 18 reps Bending the bow + long sitting - 7reps 1st med DVD7 - Sometimes I do the basics, Monk gazing 10', Bending the bow 10', Holding peach 10', Holding pearl 10' I'm not experiencing any more bliss or other than more usual abiding meditation. I don't even feel any difference between doing using the breath sequence or not. Also for me increasing practicing time usually lead to tension and getting distracted, so I keep my practice time more or less the same. So my only suggestion to you, Kshanti, is don't obsess over results and special effects, one can enjoy the practice by resting in the present moment whatever is happening (blue lights or not) Looking for future events and results can actually block them, and also makes the practice boring and not worth. Maybe I'me bottom of the class, so please Sifu if you have some suggestion for me too Actually any suggestion from more talented classmates are well appreciated!

Welcome to the forum! Congratulations too!!

Hi Sifu Terry and all FP practitioners! I've a memory of sometime ago of reading here on the forum of upcoming new DVDs (FP n.6, and TTP?) and maybe an FP book, if I remember well... Are these any news about these?

So, if i'm not misunderstanding, your view is of a progression? Something like: "It's not possible to awaken to ones true nature now, one has to reach a certain limit after wich one becomes enlightened"

Can you elaborate more on this please?

It's been a long time since my last post here on TB. I'd like to ask a question to anyone here: What the term "enlightment" or "awakening" point to in FP teachings? Thanks

Hello everyone, can someone suggest in depth books or vids with in depth study of body mechanics in martial movments and qigong? Thanks

Thanks dwai

But doesn't "yong yi ling qi" ?

Thanks dwai, can u elaborate more your statement?

Thank you VERY much Gerard! A lot of good info there! Do you also have link to videos where are showed very good rooting and high speed leg movments at the same time? Or does one contradict the other? Is my impression that with rooting exercises legs feel heavy, so how can one move with fast legs while being rooted? Thanks again

First of all thanks everyone for all the support. I practiced martial arts since I was 7 years old, at present I'm practicing TangLang Chuan. Also doing basic aerobic and some weight training... As for diet, I follow an almost gluten free diet, no dairy products, very little yeast products, and since the last two month alchool free. I'm practicing daily "advaita meditation", and started five weeks ago the Presence Process by Michael Brown (a very good book IMO). The point is that is precisely through increased presence in the now that I'm becoming aware of unpleasant emotions, that for all my life have been managed in the ways, sometimes repressing them, sometimes projecting the emotion on other or on the circumstances but in most cases distracting with anything that catch the attention of the mind (as I wrote to Sifu). I don't think any more that suffering should be avoided or ignored, as I said I've always done that and it has not worked. Those feelings keep manifesting in an almost regular pattern has someone that want to express something but is ignore in one way or another... I hope my english is understandable...

As suggested by Sifu Terry I'll post here the original mail sent to him with my present feeling on FP, hoping to get some feedback.
