  1. fanatical Buddhists

    And I've a feeling they are going to learn to coexist on TTB in the near future too
  2. Kung-Fu Shoe *ALERT*

    That's a shame as these shoes are a consumable for me, only lasting a few months. (Although I use the sticky rubber sole version not the cotton) I switched to dunlop vollies because they became cheaper then kung fu shoes in Aus and IMO do the same job while masquerading as normal shoes rather than slippers
  3. Greetings

    Yah it worked At least I achieved something good today. Welcome to the 'bums Meow. I hope you have fun here
  4. I had planed to do some experiments with the articles section. But pressing moderation issues are consuming that time currently. Another weekend
  5. Bad Ovary?

    +1,000 what a great idea, remember the child within. I just called my mum as she keeps the old photo albums
  6. Don't worry it's much more annoying to have to go in and delete the threads and the reports do help as they give us a "heads up" via email when we are not on-site, thank you.
  7. Hunyuan Qigong eBook

  8. What Books are by Your Bed?

  9. also http://www.thetaobums.com/index.php?/topic/5946-mysteries-of-the-life-force/page__view__findpost__p__68136 Just had a quick read on Google books and this seems quite interesting so I've got a copy coming in the mail.
  10. Chat in an external program

    I always thought I'd found my "tech support" title in a cornflakes box Thanks for the info and good luck with the project.
  11. Non medical tao practices?

    Ken Cohen's The Essential Qigong Training Course covers a lot of practical information, I still refer to my copy. Or some Wong Kiew Kit books like The Art of Chi Kung: Making the Most of Your Vital Energy
  12. We are not sure but Im thinking that might be the best plan as one thread will - Collect all the works into one place. New posts will still bump that thread to the top and show up on the summary pages. Keep the articles section concise But for the moment well keep things as is, to give people some time to comment on the idea. (I also need to check that I can merge all the threads properly without loosing too much infomation {eg thread titles})
  13. The collected works of Blissmusic

    Thanks for the report Stig (you know it takes us ages to discuss stuff )but Kip's posts actually don't smell like spam to us. but we are working to "tidy up" the contributed articles section. Cheers Mal
  14. Thanks Kip. I know quite a lot of people here really enjoy your posts and music, we definitely want you to keep contributing them.
  15. Chat in an external program

    Hi Buscon, Unfortunatly I've got no idea. I don't really play with the chat, I had a quick look but couldn't find any "info" Sorry. Perhaps someone might know what sort of plug in a V3 powerboard would generally use.
  16. Yin-Yang Concept in Tai Chi Chuan

    Cool looking book (yes I am going to summarize your entire post into cool looking book ) although I just tried to buy it and it's out of print, not cool Just read a bit of the preview on Amazon and it's talking about exactly this topic, the yin yang nature of Tai Chi and the futility of studying such theory until you are ready to balance (or express) it's ideas in the physical realization of your actions "it is not intended for the student to read once and understand" Well you could only know that by observing his actions. My Sifu would occasionally talk about "book fu" A new student would arrive and know LOTS about tai chi, energy moving here and there, how this esoteric concept relates to this concept... unfortunately more often than not these people had NO kung fu and while they could talk about concepts and ideas they could not display a single one physically. oh as for your question I know very little, but if you push me I can show you what little I have.
  17. Taoist Tai Chi Society?

    Perhaps, fortunately these dont seem too traumatised While its not my place to comment on their form, unfortunately my personal experience with the local TTCS is of them refusing to participate with other local Tai Chi clubs in celebrating World Tai Chi and Qi Gong Day. Their reason? Its not an event organised by the TTCS.
  18. Tai Chi Practice: Question

    Excellent news, sounds like the student was ready and the teacher appeared Have fun
  19. Greetings :)
