Other serious western authors who studied the mind-body connection deeply. all worthwhile reading: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F._Matthias_Alexander https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerda_Alexander https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moshé_Feldenkrais Being in my humble opinion, Feldenkrais, the rocket scientist of these three

I feel exactly the opposite peace

Could be a famous one. Once I think I've bumped into one and to this day regret not having stoped him for an autograph it would be the confirmation

Great explanation Nungali,and yes that beginners guide is something worthwile reading. Another thing was the orgone box he developed as a way to cure cancer. He truly believed in his theories and worked on them but unfortunately not at that time nor now can someone work on an alternative way of curing cancer. After being persecuted by the CIA ( one time he even expeled them at gun point out of his property) he ended up in jail where he died of a heart attack. His book "Listen little man" where he describes his fight as a scientist agaist the system is something really worthwile reading. I would say it's one of my 5 favourite books.

Thanks for sharing this with us... man and this thread... no words to thank you for starting it and to thank all the participants.

Don't know if I can agree with you in this point. People may have overwhelming experiences that change them at their core, mystical or not. More than 20 years ago I had my life saved at great risk by someone else. Don't realy think I'm the same person since then.

Hi Phil. the theory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetotherapy also, Alexander Lowen (disciple of Reich) created "Bioenergetic". Lot's to work with here if you want to:

By chance I found out this video yesterday and loved it. It could be entitled: what happens when a kid asks the wrong question to the right person ?

There's plenty of energy work in the Russian martial art Systema which is said has its roots in an ancient tradition.

Having had someone who took serious risks to save your life is something that deeply changes you. Just hope that this is the general rule and true. ...and thanks Taomeow.

Even so and as the DDJ teaches the sage like the sky and the earth lives not for himself but for others. I understand your point Steve and this thread is being a good exercise in making us think deeply about these things. I've learned over the years that spiritual capacities and teachings can also be used to harm others so, regarding this matter when I hear "non-doing" I think that most people will use the term as an excuse not to do what is right which in my point of view is much more harmful than acting for selfish reasons. The following images are very shocking but shouldn't we all take a look at them and think... think deeply?

It's about wushu, or qigong, or cancer, or tcm, or love... you choose.

Congratulations cold! As you know many people do exactly the opposite: capitalize over addiction taking advantage of ill people. Also, you're helping them in doing a more conscious choice with what they do with their money.

yes, giving a shit instead of giving some change. It's commpn behaviour how some people immediately look for an excuse to not give a shit.

For me the lie is when you see yourself in that homeless man and deny and supress your true feelings, turning him into an object, giving him some "change".

Hi Shera! Don't know if this helps but here you can find a very interesting story of someone that was cured of urinary incontinence with hypnosis https://books.google.pt/books?id=1Pqo7BCLcmMC&pg=PA83&lpg=PA83&dq=milton+erickson+dry+beds&source=bl&ots=1Hiq_6xAWB&sig=ymR-r12QNQ9ewKIIKfPra_jNMC0&hl=pt-PT&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjd6-L4osjXAhVJIOwKHc7bBNkQ6AEIJjAA#v=onepage&q=milton erickson dry beds&f=false
