  1. What does everyone practice :)

    Cedar Tree, besides "formal practice" I think most of us dedicate quite some time to experimentation. On this thread started by the gentleman above there are some useful ideas:

    Not referring to you, at all, just the article mentioned.
  17. Forced Mind-Intention

    Sure. Sending it by pm because I think it can't be found online. I receive it by email. Also, some people don't need more advertising than what they already have.
  18. Forced Mind-Intention

    There's not much to elaborate but here goes... for example I tend to carry much tension in my eyes and face even doing tai chi so sometimes when I don't seem to be able to stop it I just exagerate it for awhile (some seconds to a minute). After letting it go what follows is a feeling of natural relaxation. Imagine someone who has the bad habit of walking with the back bent. If someone made him do it deliberately what do you think it would happen afterwards? Trying to find a good article that may help you too. When I do I'll send it to you via pm.

    Mimicking my tense movements or breath or whatever usually works for me. When you can reproduce what you're doing wrong what follows is that you naturally start doing it right.

  21. mystical poetry thread

    Psalm 131 A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem. A psalm of David. LORD, my heart is not proud; my eyes are not haughty. I don’t concern myself with matters too great or too awesome for me to grasp. Instead, I have calmed and quieted myself, like a weaned child who no longer cries for its mother’s milk. Yes, like a weaned child is my soul within me. O Israel, put your hope in the LORD— now and always.
