I read his last book "Quantum Crawfish for the Clueless". It seemed like all of the turmoil down in Louisiana took a very heavy toll on him.

The meditation today didn't feel too comfortable. Come to think of it, the area around the spinal cord felt really tight during an acupressure massage a couple of weeks ago. How much easier did the ma roller make it to sit upright? -

Could you send him my apologies too? -

Sorry, I can't reject the old guy on "Ripley's..." since I saw his palms glowing on that IR camera that they had set up. I believe that the guy was able to direct his chi with pinpoint precision. After reading some about alchemy, from my interpretation, conscious vision (focused vision) merges with unconscious vision (peripheral vision). Peripheral vision can pick up candlelight up to three miles away. http://www.navaching.com/hawkeen/nwalk.html <--- even though what is done on this page is done without alchemy From some of the reading, one of the indicators that the lower level alchemy is working is a difficulty with reading. -
Thanks. I didn't think that I would be advancing this quickly with so little effort I tried the circles on the abdomen after some experimenting with the breathing and squeezes (can't really call it meditating) a couple of days ago I have to look at the books again because I thought that I was going to make myself sick.

I've seen that in Syracuse, NY in the middle of winter with wind chill that was 20 below in Fahrenheit(-22 Celsius???). Not so extreme with the miniskirt but they were wearing the half shirts with no shaking whatsoever, could have been somewhat alcohol fueled. After a while, I was wondering if it was MY PERCEPTION of reality that was screwed up and their's that was actually sound. -
My bad It slang for the perineum. It's short for "T'ain't quite your balls, and T'ain't quite your asshole" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perineum

I'm not sure if this is it but I feel a vibration after squeezing my taint and everything in it's vicinity. The vibration moves up my spine, spreads to about three inches at the top of my head, and now I feel it go to what feels like the left side of my sternum and down to the stomach and it happens without meditation or breathing:blink: Is there a way to slow it down so that it feels more pronounced?

I looked through one of my books, "Secrets the Gurus will never Show You" from umaatantra.com. It implies that stress is stored in the solar plexus. I tried the belly breathing/buddhist breathing at night, the following morning I thought that I was having some sort of heart attack or anxiety attack (without the anxiety). It lasted for a little less than a minute. I was thinking "WTF?" while it was going on. I stood quietly because I really hate feeding shit like that more energy than it deserves. -
Miyamoto Musashi, the sword saint of Japan, did it without a teacher. I think that I'm going to do it without a teacher too. It's kind of distracting when I have to pay attention to a guided meditation CD (so I don't think that it'll help me to actually have somebody in the flesh guiding me), and trying to pay attention to my own body and breathing at the same time. I'll end up doing trial runs and taking notes in order to internalize so that I can go full speed and see where it goes.

I looked at Plato's page and I just decided that I'm not working anywhere near hard enough to become a dirty old man when I grow up -

I never had a problem with melatonin. I can almost fall asleep at will if I cover my head and eyes when lying down, even when I am not tired. I took note of a few comments on these forums about CoQ10 and about receeding gums. I bought some at the vitamin shoppe at East 86th Street along with vitamin E. I've also changed from drinking coffee to mixing swiss miss with powdered cocoa that hasn't been "dutched". Everything is better it seems, but I hope I don't get "too well" to the point where it seems like returning to my puberty and early 20s (I'm going to be 33 next month), practically being a "walking hardon" 24/7 There is hardly enough blood to support both sides of the brain (especially wearing a size 7 1/2 hat that sometimes feels tight) but supporting another active brain (in the pants) is close to impossible For as much as a lot of people make David Shen to seem extreme, I have to admire him for his emotional stability because if I was at peak and had MSB for a week (in a low stress situation) I would end up in jail for murder.

How much more energy? I'm a walking bull's eye in my dreams more often than not and it seems like I'm always walking around like if I was hit by a Mack Truck...a really big downgrade from being able to fly around...slowly, but being able to fly. My dreams have gotten wierder and wierder since I've added a lot of anti-oxidant supplements. My imagination is not fertile enough to create 7 foot tall, four foot wide lizards and caricatures of people that have two foot noses and feet that are just as big

"second, if they were just treated, they are probably in all sorts of weird states..some people really need to sleep after a treatment." I didn't know that the treatment was that radical

"There is a theme here I have seen before. Does a "Master" deserve to charge what the market will bear to make a living? Should Robert Peng dress in sackcloth and charge by donation only? I think not. On the other hand, is Robert Peng the man who will finally answer all our questions about Chi , the universe and everything? I think not. But... He is accomplished by reputation. And seems to be able to deliver what he promises in the treatment room. Next question - Is he a good teacher? i.e. can he transmit what he knows? This is an entirely seperate question. My hard style MA teacher would often say, "just because you are a good fighter doesn't say at all whether you are or can be a good teacher." I think this applies equally well to this arena as well. Not all accomplished people are interested in teaching, or are necessarily good at it. Craig" I went to pick up some CDs from his office. He is a very nice guy. On the way up to the fourth floor, a rather tall lady came out his office,I stepped aside because I thought that she was going to walk into me, I said "hi" and she didn't respond. I went into the waiting area waited for a while. A lady came in, she was a real sweetheart, she made the trip up to his office worth it:) After a while, the guy that Master Peng was treating came out. I said "have a nice day", he didn't respond either. I felt bad for Master Peng because for the people that he was dealing with...I would probably pay $200 an hour just to have them stay away from me. I wouldn't blame him if he ever lost his cool and uses "the force" for "martial" purposes. The guy has the patience of a saint.

I believe this on account of the work done by William James and Boris Sidis, and the results of William James Sidis. The deaths of Boris Sidis and William James Sidis, both cerebral hemorrhages, convinced me that chi kung and yoga are a reality and that the downward flow of chi to the dantien are essential and life-preserving. -
I haven't felt this completely yet and I've felt just parts of this. One time with vibrations dissipating in the middle of my back, and one time with absolutely no feeling in my back and somehow the vibrations reached the front of my forehead. I'm trying to increase my body awareness right now. For the exception of Da Mo's Cave(which I haven't done yet), I'm going try to keep visualization to a minimum. I don't really want to get stuck visualizing all of the time, if I do then I start having speech problems.

I've been stuck on the inner smile for a couple of weeks, I finally got that fixed:) My body has been trying to tell me to fix myself by polishing the mirror or polishing the soul, I have to figure out how to do that without being antipathetic or apathetic every time I walk out the door of my apartment. Somebody out there sent some good chi and I think that I'm starting to move in the right direction.
