All of the above, depending on the circumstance, and what I am going to eat. I would also add that food can be healing.

Good answer!

Welcome to the bums, Chris. There are many of us who have no idea what we are doing here, or how to contribute, but we somehow manage

Welcome to the bums, Guido

Hi Nik, welcome Some community service and metta or bodhicitta meditation might serve you well.

Thanks for joining us

Welcome to the bums, George

You are not the only one. I've gained 4 pounds in a month, committed to losing it and there is butter pecan ice cream in the freezer. Was it as divine as it sounds?

Welcome to the bums, Tanya. Thanks for joining us.

I did laugh out loud! Thank you I needed it! It is important to keep Uranus clean too!

Personally, I think you guys take all of everything that has ever been said about energy, qi or chi or whatever the brand of the week is too seriously. Essentially, I disagree with most all of every teaching that says you have to retain qi. Qi is a give-and-take. It is an exchange with the environment with people, with every interaction that we have. Until you know qi, and it's true sense you'll never understand. Qi is not about a man retaining his holy semen nor is it about a woman slaying the Red Dragon. Qi is about balance, balance within, and has nothing to do with the opposite sex. Everything, all peace, all Divine is within. If you find a partner who is with you on that, that, it's a bonus to this lifetime

It has been an honor to serve as a moderator for this great community. I need a break. I will never not serve those that I love and those I love are inclusive of those who might prickle my skin. They get more love. I value every bum. I read, or skim, every post daily. It is like taking the pulse. I will never not be here for you bums. I would like to take a more behind the scenes approach as in setting up PPFs, changing names, whatever Tech type things that I already do. When my mod ship is over I am still here for you and I was still Advocate and help in any way that I can. It has been an honor and a privilege to serve you all and I thank you very much. Now, two people raise your hand before I nominate you.

For centuries those who have suffered are more open. How could they not be? They are completely open to the earth and the for their livelihood. Love, as most people understand it is a lower chakra thing. Lower chakra love is lust, sexual excitement, that enticing thing that makes us feel good on the physical and sometimes an emotional level. An open heart, is well beyond; it is beyond the sexual, it's beyond lust. It is a refined love, that I can not describe. Pure... Purely, for absorbing, rinsing and sending back the engery absorbed. The person themselves, with the Open Heart , may not be "pure", however, if they receive, and connect it can be life changing. I really kind of find it odd that you would mention celebrities like Oprah and Ellen. For someone who talks about being able to see how chakras and stuff are open that you would come here talk about them. I do not see Oprah with an open heart. I'm truly interested in your further comments @dawn90.

I am sorry, and I am not trying to be disrespectful, but I think that's a bunch of bullshit I'm a very blunt and straightforward kind of girl and again I apologize for that. Qi, chi, energy whatever you want to call it, is internal... It is high and and it is low. Did you practice today? Did you have sex? Many people, do not understand that the teachings that they are reading from men who are living in monasteries. These people did not have anything they had no social media they had no television they had no nothing. There is not a way to be uninfluenced by external stimuli. You only need to dive deep within yourself. I will do my very best to help you with that. You can PM me or we can discuss it here.

Welcome to the bums ☺

***Mod Team Notice*** This thread has veered way off topic and is being reviewed by the team. Stay on topic, please. *********

Not Matt Lauer, too! I am in shock! This cycle of accusations is far from over. Good for those whom have truly been assaulted or harassed and found the courage to come forward, but those who are throwing out false accusations need also be as publicly shamed as their alleged perpetrator when they are found to be lying.

poppycock
