Well, that's what I am saying. If you have gold right in front of you, why would you NOT use it? I actually see nothing "unusual" if there actually ARE programs like this ( as long as they don't separate families and not inject kids with weird stuff... but hey... isn't there a movie/TV show about it as well... "Fringe"... plus a number of Marvel's comics:P)

well... Once in China... many eons ago... I remember being measured like a "prized horse" ( and so bunch of other girl athletes). They were basically making a "perfect" athlete for forward looking 2008 Olympics... If I were in Chinese govt, with all the knowledge I have about TCM right now ( and more energy side of it), I would probably fund some "research" on the topic to Make China Great. I assume USA would do ( is doing) the same thing... Note, since this energy/knowledge/skill is not something you can buy/chemically engineer ( for a substantially long period of time), you would have to track people by DNA marks. I am sure all of "energy sensitives" who would be any interest to the agencies would have some DNA "deviations". But this leads us to the topic of aliens starting life on Earth, the question of who Daoist Immortals really are and other topics found in yellow press all the time. "Yeah, I have seen that movie too, about super humans with magic powers... what was that name... oh, I forgot... X-Men? Matrix? ( insert any movie about alien invasion:P)"

And she said, 'we are all just prisoners here, of our own device' And in the master's chambers, They gathered for the feast They stab it with their steely knives, But they just can't kill the beast...

find somebody in your area who does this: https://www.google.com/search?q=medical+qigong+doctor&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS520US520&oq=medical+qigong+doctor&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60.4142j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 as an alternative to acupuncture... So.... how friendly are you with plant spirits?... do you garden?... do you respect Mother Nature?... just sayin.... What do you mean by "do"? Do you just drink stuff or do you actually DO stuff? How many have you had so far? If that's what you think it is, than I would probably take a vacation days asap as perhaps your overdue "purging" is about to come...

well... than it's not "spiritual", but physical level energy stuff you need to clear. Perhaps ask at the studio for good TCM doctor and they might help you with this? p.s. Until you clear physical level it is VERY unlikely you will SAFELY surf "spiritual" stuff. Just sayin...

Go to acupuncturist and ask to check for damp-heat, most likely gallbladder/stomach issues ( based on nausea, headache and "Yang Yoga" you mentioned). Good luck! P.S. So far this is the match: Internal Acute Damp-Heat at Qi Level.

And one more thing Q5: Was there any NEW person in the class in the past 10 days?

Can you post a link to the asana description please? Seems you are triggering liver/galbladder or spleen/stomach meridian and energy is trying to clear. You mention Yang Yoga, but I cannot find anything useful online to tell you which one you are triggering. It is interesting you do not mention heart, but gut level.

I bow to the Great Bear Ursula Major... Bears are friends...

Q1: When you feel nauseous, does the energy feels "hot and heavy" and starts around your heart area and when you are nauseous even if you try to relieve there is nothing there? If not, what exactly does it feel like and where does it originate? How long does nausea last? Can you stand/function when you get "hit" with it? Q2: Do you feel nauseous irregardless of asana you are doing or does it come ( and go) only during certain asana? If yes, please share which one. Q3: Just to exclude coffee/food/etc before the practice, can you confirm you do not eat/drink/smoke anything that could cause this reaction? meow p.s. As a yoga teacher I assume you got "yoga high" few times at least. Can you confirm you are NOT getting that state after the nausea ( and possible heat) is gone?

So... Mathematically... Who wants to pick up census data and tell me when the areas will "organically" kill themselves at this rate of "murders"? Are we looking at linear growth or exponential and then sharp drop off ( i.e. no one left to murder or they are not in a state to commit murder? Why do I need it? Just looking for a nice neighborhood to move in... meow

dude, I just don't want my IP logged on that website. Call it paranoia:P So, cliff notes? Have you read the paper? p.s. How is meditation going? Meow

wow just wow p.s. but seriously, summary on paper please? did you go to college? eng 101?

He is ok. Here is my review on him at Esalen: http://www.thedaobums.com/topic/43389-retreatsworkshops-review/

cliff's notes please?

I was at the carwash before my qigong clinic session. The lot was full of cars ( Shevron) and it did not seem I would make it on time. I thought to myself that I want a clean car. Suddenly one car in front of me drove away, then another, as if suddenly they decided to be somewhere else and I got to be the next car in line and got my car wash. The guy I did clinic with told me this is what mahayoga looks like in real life - opening paths to your wishes But did not elaborate on details...

I am not talking about ngondro. I am taking about Tantra as non-dual approach. I doubt in preliminaries offering pain and such is a common practice, but if he is past that ( i.e. had completed preliminaries and on his own deity work) and his Guru instructed him to do mandala offerings, it is possible to offer your pain and suffering as offering as it is the same as "love and light". It could release the energy in the same way we are asking him to drink tea or do qigongs, just another skillful means to pass the rough spot... However, we have limited knowledge on what his actual practice is. I doubt Green Tara energy can cause stuff he is describing. She is very.... soft...

Ed, I was not looking "into" you. It's not my practice to do energy work ( even diagnostic) without consent first. I was writing "theory" stuff as if you do have some attack the following could happen, but then my intuition said it's not correct. I won't mislead you with my "visions", simply because I did not look. And if you already got some help, it should clear it. If you will still dwell on him tomorrow, check your ego stuff. Unless there was love/hate stuff going on you should not be consciously hanging on someone like that for a long time after cord cuttings. I mean the energy crap would still be there if any residual left after clearing, but it would be pushed by your memories into "clear this crap later brain box"... Humans these days have short attention span. It could be a benefit in a case like this:) p.s. There is still new moon today. Black moon. Some interesting developments. Perhaps it is your own psyche ( Anima/Animus) come to visit?

so you are done with Ngondro? It should have cleared you in 3 years... I am in a clearing/purging state myself right now. Trying to do the foundations first without going high flying. You might benefit from mandala offering. I.e. offer what you have ( heat and pain). I assume you know the mantra/mudra for short version? Or you can do 37 offerings one.

well, okay... 1. Do you still feel it? It had been few hours. 2. Try praying/reading mantra - what's your ancestral religion? Google their main prayer/mantra and read it for 20 min non-stop focusing on it. How does it feel now? 3. Close your eyes and "look". Do you see anything? If yes, what does it feel like? Any sense/taste/feeling of dark/heavy or light/pleasant smell? 4. Did you do anything "unreasonable" in the past few days? ( to put your "guy" aside to make sure it is not something else). I.e. did you cut a tree, broke a branch, dug a hole, cursed someone, etc? p.s. It's new moon tomorrow. So weird stuff can happen without your active participation, but being a "receiver". my intuition says it's not it. weird.

I see we have lots of tantra experts here... okay.... MEOW...

perhaps with the collective wisdom we will define the state and the moment it s defined we will lose it:) ( as Dao cannot be defined...)

perhaps pleasant is not the right word the concept is the same however "being in the flow and be empty" alert and awake and with the quiet/clear mind

I believe in buddhist terms you are referring to rigpa state. Note, it's a little bit different than total non-duality "emptiness" ( as you cannot really function in that state as human anyway). But wuji/rigpa state in human form is a very pleasant state of being.
