Wow awesome story! I'd totally do that too!

Kerouac is gold, but I haven't read this crucial novel yet. Only On the road, and not the whole book.

It according to your choice, not out of predetermined social needs. Food is not a religion. That was good

my point was, one does not simply sleep less... not in the city with a normal life. I haven't met anyone who could carry on on less than six hours on average. Still I'll listen to the rest just out of curiosity

"For the last 25 years I've managed on 2,5h sleep a night" "if you sleep for 8+ hours a day, you're sleeping 40% of your life away" yeah he lost me right there

Wow, Stan Grof is a legend!

@silent thunder Well it's very strange that you mention that because I have found a sole chapter in pdf on the web(6 The nameless) and I have felt the same urge to get a copy. What a treat! But it's seems like a rare and precious gem, price listings at 40$ USED on amazon. Interesting. Thanks for sharing, the article great.

Could you please share the source?

And maybe others would like to share your experiences with various herbs, oils and so on?

Hey that's great for you!

Wow I was just about to start a topic by the same name. I've heard about that mixture from many people, been wanting to try it. So what is the exact procedure? You do 10 days(with activated carbon too?), then rest 10 and then another 10? What about dosage?

Those cost a fortune haha

I resurrect you, thread I have a really nice mattress, but whenever I sleep on ones that are even more firm I need noticeably less time for my limbs to feel ''fresh''. So does anyone know a good way to harden a mattress? Once I heard about putting birch twigs on top inside the cover, or a coconut fiber mat. Will it do the trick?

it's cool that two guys they're sitting on exercise balls

Wooow that looks super tasty and easy. Doing that tomorrow! Except I don't have dates and I don't think I'll find that root anywhere near me, so parsnip has to suffice lol.

Well anyone who has practiced qigong regularly for some time can say that it does indeed 'improve' you in one way or another. For the longest time, I have been wondering: Is there a way to accurately, scientifically describe how qigong exercises work on a physical level? I'm just simply not satisfied at all with explanations such as "it promotes chi flow", "it removes blockages", and even all the talk about meridians and channels. The Root of Chinese Chi-Kung has failed me. Yes, I guess I have to admit I'm asking for a western scientific explanation of things, so any studies would be welcome, as well as just your common sense understanding. In other words: 1. What makes movements of Ba Duan Jin(as an example) so special and different than, I don't know, aerobics for seniors? Why those particular movements? 2. Since there are thousands of qigong forms, and even Ba Duan Jin has so many variations and styles, wouldn't it be possible to easily come up with your own, spontaneous forms, for all these systems probably utilize virtually every imaginable motion of the human body? Also what's the point of stressing details so much if the variation next to previous one looks different anyway? 3. What exactly happens to your muscles, tendons and organs, apart form better blood circulation? I'd appreciate serious answers, thank you :-)

Oh my God this is sick! I'll be digging this. Any specific issue that you had in mind? Thank you windwalker! I really appreciate it.

Thank you idquest, and everybody. Ok so I was aware BDJ works with fascia and so on... I just still don't know what does it exactly change inside of the tissues. And why for example it is said that Drawing the Bow to Shoot the Eagle is good for spleen and kidneys, and why you have to point your index finger up for it to work. Kinda like a switch? The same with other movements, why Sway the Head and Shake the Tail is good for the heart? And how was it discovered? How was it designed? By Dao Yin you mean the Yi Jin Jing exercises? or something else? Speaking of yoga, how many incorporate it in their routines? How many of you do both qigong and yoga?

I just did it too. Generated just the right amount of gratitude and calmness, moved my imagination into familiar world of fantasy. The stars were pretty indeed. After leaf 86 I drifted into thoughts of loved ones and warmth of human company. I wish everyone to experience these good feelings as much as possible throughout 2018 :D. Thanks ML

I'd like to jump in an throw a word of caution. I did both of these things only not one after the other. The olive oil/grapefruit juice flush didn't do me anything except excruciating pain and nausea the morning after. No stones in toilet no nothing. Fasting is cool but in retrospect it seems to mostly deal with mental "toxins" after all. IME of course. YMMV but if you're slim, or especially if you do not have much muscle mass, it might be unpleasant to the point of not being worth the result. Still cool experiment, I did it at the beginning of the January too :).

Well thank you, that's some awesome advice Wells! I know exactly what water you're speaking of. I went down and bought a 10L pack right away LOL. I was also considering supplementing calcium in tablets since apparently 3kg of yoghurt a week and tons of kale aren't enough! But we'll see. I am surprised that xylitol has such a property, I think I read somewhere it is helpful in quitting sugar and only in that way was beneficial, but I guess there's more to it. Would consuming it instead of spitting out be a problem though? I am using it to do just that, limit white sugar intake. Cheers.

Does anyone know the music from that video?

This should be a quote somewhere.
