Ice stupa's to help overcome dry periods in Tibet http://icestupa.org/

for sore throat, cough/flu I've always used elderberry juice, with a bit of honey and hot water, depending on the person some lemonjuice added too

now I wish that I could read that...but one has to pay for the whole article. How I miss working at a university...

yes, I knew that, I had forgotten that there are actually three layers of 'mater' I like this image, because you can see the rhytmical movement that's what comes up with me, blood is moving rhythmically, lymph i'm not sure, but I think it does too. breath, blood, cerebrospinal are rhythm thingies. concerning lymph, I'm not sure, but now I wonder, back when I was still able to train, the lower dantien woke up, first warm, then hot and then it started to bump. Like a ball bouncing in my belly. teacher told me next phase would be that it would start to turn/circulate. But then I became ill and lost all those things. But I did wonder what made that peculiar feeling in my belly. Now I think, there are a lot of lymfe-nodes down there, when they do pulse/ have rhythm. and by training become more active their heightened movement may be the source of that jumpy feeling. and I like your inclusion of chyle, never thought of it, this is what wiki says this I found concerning lyph and cerebrospinal connection, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC546409/ there's more though, ineresting stuff. Thanks for bringing this topic up. I've no idea about ida and pingala , I'm not aware of them, can't feel them. have no idea about the hinduistic meaning of them. I thought they were to do with breath??

sorry, no knowledge here. but the pic of the layers of fluid that envelop our brain gave a prompt association with this picture I gather from your pic that the thought is that only the subarachnoid space is filled with fluid?/ is that so? or all three spaces capable of transporting fluids? and if so, is that what happens when one ' evolves" and those nadi's come alive? this layer/these layers of fluid must be fantastic roads for ' chi' ( or whatever) Probably in the literature you can find what sort of siddhi's correspond with these three layers, looks like vajra nadi will correspond with the subdural space

thank you CT, as usual you say things better then I do. This is what i meant when I said this

imho every sort of energywork gone awry can lead to both severe psychological and/or physical problems. Think here psychosis and 'unexplained' severe bodily pain this is not a slur on Jeff, it is for every kind of energy work that is worth something. I remember well how my teacher tells us not to do some exercises at home. like: "well, you're welcome to play along with these things at home, but when you're getting out of you're fucking mind and you call me I'll not be at home, I warned you" Imo a teacher worth it's salt will be careful not to let his students overstep bounds that they are not yet ready for. And if that happens, while those students did follow his advice, he should be able and willing to help out. In general i see that when new people come here with problems the advice is not only 'stop the practice you're doing that lead up to this' but also, look for a live teacher from a lineage to help you get you're balance . what people do with advices, hey, this is just a forum, everybody his own karma, his own choices

could you point me to a place were I can read about that?

hmm... I don't know about purifying the heart. but i do know that a growing amount of people gets sick of grains with gluten and many of them have trouble digesting gluten-free grains too. Those people have an inflamed gut. Most often both small and large intestine have inflammation. As far as I know in TCM the heart and the small intestine have a close relationship. So at least for those people there would be a relationship between the (functioning of the) heart and the gut. I think functioning will be affected both physical and energetical. I do not know about people who are able to digest the stuff, as I am not one of them. But I do have a sneaking suspicion that the old taoists were right thinking that grains are not oke for humans who are on a road to ever more fine energy. I do agree with that

thanks, for making words of it
