  1. Meditating to Music vs Meditating in Silence

    There are many different meditation methods--a huge difference between Zazen, Golden Flower, mantra chanting, Zhan Zhuang, and Merkaba, so it depends on what you are doing for the appropriate answer.
  2. nCov19 Development and Prevention Discussion Only

    Anyone who wants to pitch in some questions, I'll be doing a session from submissions from others and what I have come up with through Akashic for us to know about coronavirus. If I have enough questions from others and relevant things to learn, I'll post them here. @Nungali want to cross-check questions with tarot after submissions are in too?
  3. nCov19 Development and Prevention Discussion Only

    A lockdown might happen here! In a IATF/Cabinet Level meeting now presided by Sec Duque at Camp Aguinaldo, the Task Force approved a recommendation to declare Code Red Sub Level 2 for PRRD’s approval in a meeting to be held 5pm today. Consequence of Code Red Level 2 declaration: no mass gatherings, work suspension and extension of suspension of classes. Other specific recommendations still being worked out in an ongoing discussions are: 1. School suspension to continue for additional 4 weeks 2. Strictly no mass gatherings 3. LGU decides on specific localised strict lockdown 4. Work with skeletal force, most work from home 5. NCR lockdown Extreme measures are favored to contain COVID19 and avoid reaching levels as seen in Italy, South Korea, Japan, US. Goal is containment before it gets out of hand.
  4. Hello from Dalmatia

    You could also ask Dolic nicely to teach some Zhan Zhuang... or other qualified teachers. 😊
  5. nCov19 Development and Prevention Discussion Only

    What's worse is that I meet people saying that "people get better anyway" and the media is exaggerating it, so it's bad for their business. With the WHO raising it to epidemic and outbreak, I wonder what the next comments will be...

  8. Finding a master or school

  9. Finding a master or school

    In the beginning, it takes a lot of work. Build your foundation and what once took several hours can be done in minutes with quality. As your skill goes up, you learn techniques that beginners can’t do because their bodies are not rewired yet. I get more out of a super heavy posture than a beginner doing it because my joints, tendons, and fascia are rewired by the proper Zhan Zhuang, contraction, linking, and competing exercises, and this is for Xin Yi alone. Details are reserved for students and classmates. People with a family and work can still get far in 3-5 years if they do exactly what we teach. Most of the time people don’t listen and want to do what they think is right, and then get mad when the few who do listen show them what they could have had if they did their assignments.

    Nope, chakras, not LDT. The LDT comes much later. Dantians and chakras are totally separate. MCO is not safe in general--I know one way of activating it intrinsically and another one tied to one system I practice, and in general, it is not a good idea to do unless you have done the foundational work to develop and open your channels first so that you are safe.

    https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/03/online-yoga-homeschooling-life-quarantine-italy-200311110233444.html Life is moving home. I feel sorry for food delivery workers.
  13. Finding a master or school

    You know how to trust them based off of their integrity, sincerity, and skill. I have posted many times that a good practice requires the following: These first four criteria are a must: good lineage, good system, good teacher, good community, and the fifth criteria is most important: being a good student. Without this fifth criteria, you can have all four of the above but get nothing if you are lazy or entitled. If you are a good student, then all four criteria will find you--assuming you are paying attention and ready.

  16. Flying Phoenix Chi Kung

    Yes, but if you have a VCR, they were on VHS before too. 😂 You can buy a cheap DVD player for your TV for around $50 USD. It’s worth it for now, as they are not officially available digitally.
  17. Finding a master or school

    Now, if time and money bother you, start building a foundation with the Flying Phoenix DVD series. Sifu Terry even answers questions and teaches advanced forms on his thread here. Next, consult Eric Isen for what is good for you and see what systems you are interested in him to scan for you. www.ayurvedicintuitive.com Lastly, if you really need a push, schedule a free or donation-based Akashic reading with me.

  21. How to make offerings to Dragons?

    Hey, if he wants to feed dragons, he could actually just send you money since you're technically a baby dragon as you've said...that counts as making offers to dragons and it's like hitting two birds with one stone!
