Does anyone know if Jim McMillan is still alive?
KenBrace replied to Sleeper's topic in General Discussion
I wonder if Kostas still has cancer. Anyone know? -
Yeah I guess. They're basically the same thing.

The first two movies with Donnie Yen were awesome! The new movie doesn't look near as good. I was disapointed when they didn't continue using Donnie Yen as Ip Man.

Do you know what the science behind taking cold showers is?

Thanks, I appreciate help! I'll definitely use this advise!

Thanks man! I'll definitely give this a try!

Thanks for the advise! I'm still working on level one which is rather simple and doesn't require a teacher, but I do plan on looking for one after I finish it and am ready for the higher levels. I've been trying a lot of things and they seem to be helping so I'll see how it goes. If the problem persists I'll try this exercise you recommended. Thanks again for the advise!

The only reason I said that is because it seemed like you were saying that all Jim was interested in was money which isn't true. His focus is on helping people not snatching as much money as he can. You probably won't be reading this but if you do please realize that I had no intension of annoying you. My apologies. -
What would it feel like to tear the lower dan tien?
KenBrace replied to KenBrace's topic in General Discussion
Cleaning and opening your energy channels is important but it won't do much more than make you healthy, stable, etc. -

Thanks! While I still disagree, I respect your opinion. Anyway good luck on your own path. -

"Tearing" the dan tien doesn't literally mean that you are tearing it. I'm not sure exactly what is going on but it could have something to do with the nervous system that brings energy to the dan tien. When the dan tien is "torn" it might mean that the nerve fibers that feed it tear. I'm not really sure about all this but I'm practicing Mo Pai and the top master of Mo Pai is John Chang and I'm not willing to bet my dan tien that he's wrong. Best just to trust that he knows what he's talking about. -

I'm not directly a student but I've received advise and help a guy that is a current student. At my level the packing hasn't gotten that intense yet but it will. -

I'm practicing Mo Pai Nei Kung which is a very old and refined system. I asked the original question because I haven't personally torn my LDT so I have no idea what it would feel like. I know what I'm doing as far as training technique goes. We have a lot of energy now but it's almost nothing compared to what you will have if you cultivate. Saying that becoming aware gives you access to limitless energy is like saying that becoming aware of your muscular system with give you limitless strength. You have to build muscle if you want more strength, and you have to build up energy if you want more internal strength. -

It's completely safe as long as you have a valid training system and you obey the warning rules. -

Just learning to feel what little tiny but of energy you have now won't help you that much. If you really want to progress you have to cultivate and store this energy so that you are able to use it. -

Well in Mo Pai the first step to developing the dan tien is to store yang chi into the dan tien through meditation. In level two the yang is compressed and twice as much is packed into the LDT (lower dan tien). By this time the dan tien is packed so full that it actually becomes "hardened" and can be externally seen moving around once it becomes mobile in level 3. In level 4 the yang you have cultivated is fused with the yin in the dan tien and the real training begins. Each level past level 4 doubles the power you previously had. Level 10 for example is 64 times more powerful than level 4. This is basically what I mean when I'm talking about developing internal power. -

When I said that learning to feel energy is useless I didn't entirely mean it. It does help a little but won't get you very far if you're trying to develop internal power. -

Yes I agree with you that feeling the energy helps but it won't get you very far as far as internal power goes. If you really want to develop internal strength you need to cultivate and build up energy. Interesting experience btw! -

KenBrace replied to Sleeper's topic in General Discussion
That's probably what he figured which is why he didn't email you anymore. I'm sure he respects your choice but he's very busy and isn't going to waste time with people who aren't interested in Mo Pai. I could be wrong but I don't see any reason why he would spend more time emailing you. He can't help you if you are interested in anything besides Mo Pai. -

Indeed. -

From what I understand the three dan tiens aren't physical organs like a kidney but instead are energy centers (kind of like chakras). Energy can be stored there. Becoming more aware of your energy is useless because so what if you can feel it? It doesn't add power. It's like becoming aware of a muscle. You're not accomplishing anything unless you build more muscle and add strength. -

The fact that you didn't send him the money meant you weren't interested so there was no need for him to use any more of his time. -
Yeah Mo Pai originated in China I believe.
