it takes awareness & equanimity. my perception is that it's all a bunch of (subtle) energy that can be dissolved when one cultivates equanimity to the feelings being generated by this energy. a practice that brings increasing awareness to this energy is the most powerful one and for many people will have enough legs for a lifetime. i would say yes it has mass in the sense it is energy, it holds a charge and can be directly perceived-penetrated by the mind. but clearly not in a scientific sense, it takes a level of awareness that could take years, even decades to cultivate and that's presuming an effective practice to begin with.

a very high & mighty post considering the constraints of the modern world, a long history of dried foods, extracting herbs etc and the fact that nobody here is living purely on supplements. you are preaching to the choir.

the dragon herbs fanboy returns, after having tried various greens mixtures over the years, this one truly is godlike and worth the extra cash amazing grass would be my choice on a budget and their raw reserve formula (extra sea vegetables) somewhere inbetween

in my experience hair thickness and tendency to fall out is very much related to jing levels. it's the testosterone converting to DHT that irritates the follicles, so if you have high T (many of us practitioners will have if of a reasonably young age) then sexual activity will be bad for hair prospects. the answer as far as i'm concerned (my hair is resprouting in areas rapidly since starting qigong & meditation) is to try and be balanced with the sexy stuff and nail the diet-vitality-qi-jing stuff to such a level that it will withstand stress to the system, namely DHT bombardments. helps to have awareness spread around the body so the qi can do its magic in the head without getting congested.

just brought back a big bag of lychees from the local market - the biggest & pinkest specimens i've seen all season, fantastic!

yeah i thought they were super cool as a child, first visit to see some in real life and boy oh boy the stench of fish!! just horrible

here i am

what a horrible thing that would be eh! maybe not mercilessly, but grant me some artistic license for painting a picture, bodhidharma loved it too.

besides a womans vagina (a healthy one) has shapeshifting properties - it can mould to the shape and clamp down mercilessly on any size of penis! there's no design flaws

i don't consider there to be many women who have reached a high level of dance/style/feel within 'popping' (dance that i do - many of the better known ones are overated) but this japanese girl is awesome!

turtle style, i like it

the problem is that many on the left are so narcissistic they would gladly give away the rights of others without doing so themselves. they fail to see the hypocrisy that underpins so many of their arguments, this video is a perfect example:

i would say that the youth who believe in the liberal (or should we say regressive left as it's not truly liberal per se) narrative are accustomed to performing unbelievable feats of mental gymnastics to maintain what they believe to be the morally superior viewpoint. the way i see it this relates back to the current problems with society, namely the overuse of technology that is plauging our culture - the need for gratification and in the case of far-leftists it's a projection or form of social signalling to see who can be the most tolerant of widely unpopular groups of people, regardless of the validity of any concerns. the problem is that these people are by far the loudest and have the majority of the media establishment on their side (outrage sells). what is clearly propaganda to a well balanced individual is more and more the reality to a disenfranchised generation who have been conditioned to live increasingly in their heads, through their viewpoints. it's intellectualism and digital cultre run amock, before we even factor in potential big picture schemes from the elites or whatever. it's very bad from the point of a view of creating a productive society. Thomas Sowell wrote some very poignant and predictive things on this topic long before the current situation came to fruition: http://www.amazon.com/The-Vision-Anointed-Self-Congratulation-Social/dp/046508995X

at the most fundamental level the basis for concentration is virtue (right view). if there's still work to be done there, improvements will be manyfold greater than increasing any technical understanding. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noble_Eightfold_Path 'I need and I want to enhance my ability to concentrate!' could a clue there as to where things are going wrong. edit: just noticed this was in the hindu discussion forum still very relevant though.

yup i think so. the whole point being to gladden the heart as we genuinely wish all beings to be happy and find peace. not to be overthought, methinks. even if you're an ant who has no idea of any of this stuff, maybe one day somewhere down the line

the DH ant formulas are great for zinc, definitely ants in your pants material

keep getting this filestore thing come up the first time i try to access the site, then it comes up ok after that. been happening for a couple of weeks, will screenshot it next time it appears.

do you have a practice? with an effective practice these type of feelings will gradually over time dissolve (no i'm not there yet). with more energy comes more awareness, with more awareness comes increasing familiarity with feelings being generated around projections based on what other people think of you. it's all ignorance, there are no grounds for 'judgement'.
