It won't if you just do a little research on how to practice, and always correct yourself. A lot of people like this book. 11 bucks, can't beat that.

Not necessarily.

Yes, it means you're practicing right. What I was taught is to keep the heat in the lower dantien...not good to have it rise to the head. If it expands and rises naturally no matter what you do, that isn't bad. When there's no heat, then working above is good. You should get the book, Embryonic Breathing by Yang Jwing Ming.

If this is how your standing looks, then it can eventually cause problems... "Cultivation". We cultivate the feeling of integration throughout the body. If you feel disjointed, then you're cultivating the feeling of being disjointed, and should adjust your posture so that you're centered, rooted, at-one, etc.

We could just call it the "waste our time bitching about everyone else" forum.

Same here. Hehehe. Yep, me too. Oh well.

I noticed that as well. Reading older posts, it seemed more like a "community". Friends who were just interested in all sorts of stuff. It was a good vibe. Oh well, "change is good"...or not...nothing lasts forever. Hope I didn't seem too judgmental. I'm working on it!

The giant amethyst seems much more grounding and higher vibrating.

I will go count them now.

Well, a lot of girls in high school/college today who I know act like that as well. This is true...but then again, most seem primarily interested in sexual things...how to be celibate (denying their own sexuality probably due to frustration), how to have multiple orgasms or increase their "jing", how to shove aneros up there for spiritual growth ...etc.

Well I don't have any recommendations, but personally I've been thinking of checking this one out... http://www.shambhala.com/fengshui/books/bookDetails/1-59030-104-8.cfm

Oh wow, I didn't realize that. It's a small book and no one should be selling it for that much! It seems they have it at this website for 12 bucks. http://www.shambhala.com/fengshui/books/bookDetails/1-57062-725-8.cfm

Blasto posted, I think this is an important point...if you want progress, you have to let go of feeling energy. Something most don't understand, and something that can be challenging. Vortex, It seems to me that the true method of alchemical training is very complex and subtle. A lot of good tips are mentioned in the book in that link (even though a lot can be misleading)...in my opinion it can be considered a companion to Taoist Yoga, in that it's not easy to digest quickly.

Same here. Drunvalo was "contacted" and came up with his information that way. I'd be interested to learn the real purpose and use.

...None of your business? Peace.

My own opinion... A father has a right to raise his son in his own way, and an uncle should have little say in that. Why? Because the father directly created the child, and also has to support him for many years. The uncle didn't, and doesn't have to.

Exorcist, I have loved your posts. They are valuable to me.

True.

What do you mean, JK?

Concentration is like mental fire (can be damaging), and detachment or letting go is like mental water. Gotta mix it up, and get things steamy!

My question is: how does she pay for all of that bacon, without being able to walk to a job? A whole pack for breakfast each day, in addition to eggs, etc! Her fetish website earns that much? If she is getting money from the government, then that's wrong. People should be allowed to live how they choose, even if that means being a useless and disgusting hump of lard...but they should be required to support themselves in doing it, or else have no money.

I heard good things about the first link.

Yes many people are seduced and destroyed by it. One of my grandpas, my uncle, my best friend, many other friends...it is risky.

Hello suninmyeyes, This is true, but with moderation the opposite is true. If a person has one drink, they calm down. Their health improves...numerous studies have shown this. There are other ways to relax, and I'm not saying I want you to drink! Just saying that some poisons can be helpful if used right.

That sounds nice! Welcome to the forum, Brennan.
