It looks like an incomplete list of foods. Do you experience digestive problems or something? If so, it'd make sense to eat less of what causes that. But if you're normal, then I don't see the point of having such a restricted diet.

It is very complicated. Read this to get an idea. We always talk about having a lot of "qi", but things aren't so simple.

John, It's cool how you can look at this from so many different vantage points. Once you have some time, could you describe the role of the belly? Maybe related to how well we digest our experiences? -Scott

That seems to be true. Given the relationship between the throat and solar plexus, it could be due to the throat being connected with how we interact/communicate externally, and the solar plexus acting as a sort of gauge for that interaction...gut feelings. Interesting stuff.

Different systems have different approaches to this...so if you are in KAP, you really should ask your teacher. With real healing, you can't just do one thing on the specific area that's problematic, and expect good results. Your whole approach to engaging your life affects that one area, so it requires a total change in who you are. Covering all of your bases in the system you practice will help...an analogy would be hiring a multitude of workers to chip away at a stone, instead of just having one or two work at it...it will be removed more quickly. Anyway, the solar plexus is basically where people trap their feelings. Worry and frustration. Some say the neck is related to the solar plexus, and also that in order to heal the neck you should work on forgiveness and compassion. Once the neck heals, the trapped emotions are released. Or in another way of looking at it...once you feel good about who you are by being a good person, you don't have to hide anymore. You stop tensing up. Keep practicing the system you are, focus more on mastering the basics, and gradually you will be healed. This is what I think.

Chrisn, It's taught to facilitators, and they can teach it to you if they want...kinda similar to the one in the book, but not the same. I haven't worked at it enough myself, since I'm focusing on other aspects of development. Peace!

Kunlun has a dream yoga practice which is Taoist.

You can produce more melatonin naturally by wearing certain blue light blocking sunglasses. There are other products on this website which may also help decrease blue light...like the computer screen filter. www.lowbluelights.com

Agreed...you know, people always say that what makes a master is skill in the basics. Practicing high level stuff only gets you so far when you haven't yet healed, integrated and centered yourself. Plus, you have low quality foundation stuff and then you have high quality. XSZ does a great job of healing the spine, which is the basis of our well-being. I would rank it in high quality, because it actually accomplishes what people are wanting from "qigong".

Agreed. Here is something to try that can help...read each sentence twice and really do it... Picture the property in your mind, focusing on the first mental image you get. See the outside of the house. Look at the grass and yard...what's the weather like in this mental image? If the sky is cloudy and overcast, maybe it's not good. If it's sunny and blue and a few white puffy clouds, it's really good. If the grass is extra green when you picture it, good. If it's off-green, bad.

Thanks ralis...I'm not a vampire or a goth-type person, but I have been enjoying learning vampire stuff recently.

Thanks r.w., That can be helpful to compare with, for those who have only practiced from the Russian dubbed video.

I've had dreams of real locations that open up to new areas...but when I would go visit the real physical location, none of it is there. Maybe people are mistaking these dream locations for waking reality...the mind is powerful! Who knows...just another theory, which I tend to lean towards...but reality can be surprising.

It might help to gently relax the anal muscles, and feel as if they're expanding like a balloon on the inhale. It's easier to feel it if you're laying down. I was taught it's best to pay attention to the sensations in the lower abdomen, while doing that.

I'm also not the best student in the world, but this seems to be true.

XSZ is a good physical method.

No I just meant the Tao Te Ching.

It doesn't matter, because no one truly understands the book without studying under the author personally.

And I bring the t.

Great point.

Finally rechecked siddhi energetics, and got a sample (if you're a health practitioner you can request a free sample). Trying the agar 35 tonight and it seems nice so far. Could be too subtle to tell, so I am planning on ordering a bottle.

Not related to his juice...but he reminds me of Marlon Brando in Apocalypse Now.

Don't make me use my burning palm on you, Spirit Ape!
