Martial Arts? I am curious how many of you guys incorporate your martial arts training with your spiritual training? And, how many of you train at home without a established school? I used to do Tae Kwon Do in the past, but suffered a back injury some time ago. I have been debating on returning to Tae Kwon Do or not. My plan is to train myself from my own home as a self teacher and student. Fortunately I can't afford to go to a established training facility or school at this time, but want to practice again.

Okay, I have been reading about ways of opening the microcosmic orbit and one way is the cool draw technique known as testicle breathing. Another I have read is about imagining a small white pearl at the lower dantian and then orbiting the pearl around the back and front channel with intention to feel at the same time as visualization. Do you guys think the deer exercise can help open this orbit? And, can you guys tell me what techniques you use to open the microcosmic orbit?

Is there a picture I can look at?

Hey, guys I am in my early 20's and keep having these strange dreams of meeting a female companion. And, for the record I have never been in a relationship. Her face changes time after time and my memory is a little hazy when I wake up. I do know for a fact she completes me and makes a whole. She is the complete opposite of me but she is the other half of me for some strange reason. I feel alive with her and happy and without her I lose all hope being alive. Do you think dreams have a meaning or is this my subconscious mind telling me I need to experience a female companion?

Did lord shiva awaken kundalini power while living the ascetic life? If so does this mean true celibacy is the key?

Hey, guys I have a bulged or herniated disc in the middle of my back. I never been diagnosed by a doctor, but my back gets in so much pain from bending and stooping or lefting heavy objects. I am only in my 20's and would like your opinion if I could or should practice tantra yoga?

Hey, guys I have been doing Mantak Chia's method of opening the lower tan tien by placing a finger below the belly button and concentrating on the feeling. I can also feel this feeling by doing deep breathing, rapid fire breathing and reverse deep breathing. The best way to describe this is by calling it a deep feeling in the lower tan tien. I can't seem to move this feeling or energy. Any help would be helpful?

@OldWolf So, basically you are saying the chi I am experiencing in the lower tan tien will move on its own through the microcosmic orbi in time. Is this correct? So I really don't have to do anything, but meditate and chi will take its course.

Okay, I need some help here and I would appreciate your guys feedback on this topic. It seems to me every time I try to mediate on the lower dantian below my navel I lose concentration because I feel energy running through my back? I was wondering is this do to my back injury in my upper back because I sometimes feel this energy just by standing still and concentrating. It feels like thousand little electrified ants running in my back is this my chi or is this normal for people with back pain? I usually feel this energy get stronger when I mediate, so is my back trying to heal itself or is this loose chi from my back injury or could this be my spinal fluid? Any ideas?

Acupressure and acupuncture are two therapies based in the practice of traditional Chinese medicine. They both believe that symptoms and diseases in the body are caused by an imbalance or blockage of energy flow in the body. These techniques aim to restore the flow of energy to improve health and well being. In Mantak Chia's book Awakening The Healing Energy Through The Tao he gives us a great insight on how to open or awaken are Chi through acupressure. I have been performing this mediation to help awaken the lower tan tien and may I say this is a great technique if you are having no luck opening the lower cauldron. Please read the book for full description. Here is brief description taken from his book: Use a Finger to help Concentrate When you concentrate on the navel focus one and a half inches below the skin. In the beginning, apply pressure on the point with your index finger for one to five minutes, then return your hands to your lap with the right palm over the left. Concentrate on the sensation created by your finger, pressing again when the point becomes indistinct. Once more, do not concentrate on breathing. Merely relax your eyes, tongue, and throat, and the mind will become still Once the mind is calm the power will accumulate. At first it is not easy to draw power to the energy center because your vital regenerative faculties have been abused for years. Your health cannot be restored overnight. The more you practice the stronger you will get, and you will be more able to endure heat produced by the higher voltage of chi. If you have been concentrating on the navel for a long time but do not feel any energy, change your focus to the Ming-Men, the point opposite the navel on the spine. This helps the energy to rise up to the head and descend down the front of the body to the feet. However, if you do not feel anything in the navel but have definite signs of improved health, you are on the right track. Remember, the experience of chi is different for everybody. Some people experience warmth or bubbling sensations, others feel as though their navel area is expanding, and some people can increase their chi circulation without creating vivid sensations. No matter what your experience is, try to be as sensitive and aware of your body as possible. Adventure into your body, it is a vast land laden with riches.

Injaculation & Kundalini Okay, I have been wondering for some time if injeculaton can lead to or awaken (enlightenment) kundalini? I know in hinduism they talk about abstaining from all sexual activity to attain immortality and reach enlightenment. On the other hand Taoist sages talk about how sexual activity is healthy and one should not ejaculate during sexual intercourse. Even the buddha abstained from all worldly desires. The Tibetan Buddhist Monks believe that the Buddha himself attained enlightenment with a female consort under the bodhi tree, and that it was edited out in many iconographies and written accounts. Lord Shiva talks about semen retention as well, but what confuses me about this diety is he had all kinds of sexual activity. This leads me to another question did lord shiva practice injaculation to control his sexual organ because even the God's had sexual intercourse? So we all can agree on not spilling are seed unless you are going to procreate. Should one abstain from all sexual activity to reach enlightenment or not? Could someone help me understand or at least clear the confusion?
