Not sticking the butt out, but relaxing all tension in proper posture. The butt will naturally NOT tuck under if you're standing right. Just my opinion.

Ah I see...thanks ghostdancer. That does make more sense now.

Thanks for sharing...I will check this out more.

Gossamer, When you write the way you do, it's perceived by others as you yelling at them. We know you're in distress, and we already care so it's not necessary to YELL AT US. Not a big deal, though. Do you have a public library near you? They usually have free internet. Just don't use your old accounts or names. I think this whole thing will end soon, and you won't have to worry about it anymore. -Scott

Awesome.

R.W. Smith, I have NO CLUE what that thing is! It's so ugly. I think they found it in Saudi Arabia.

I saw this one a while ago...weird looking dead creature that looks like a dog, but doesn't... 9-HSu5QUZYc

I don't personally see Mak Tin Si's help as the only option. Gossamer is already being helped for free...

Sometimes the location were in isn't conducive to finding peace and balance within ourselves.

Prayers sent from here.

I agree: exceptions should be made.

I agree. Any other ethics involved? I don't like those websites that are all about marketing, even if the product is good. It's misleading, because it makes you think, "perhaps this is just another scam".

Happy Holidays, Makoto. May you find peace and balance wherever need be.

Great post, Mike (5ET). I pray that this girl finds a way out and reclaims her life.

I watched a couple videos...looks good to me. But I don't know about the actual methods they use, or about the authenticity.

Does cat stretching count?

Merry Christmas, or Happy Holidays all you lovely Taobums.

The personal practice section idea sounds cool. I value Mak's posts, because they're something different. We can potentially learn a lot from what he knows that can help us, even if we don't like how traditional he is. For instance...I liked his post about the winter solstice being the best time for yang qi.

I'm thinking it'll die down after a while. Nothing lasts forever. Hang in there.

Sweet! I am going to check out the first two bands. Islands used to be called The Unicorns...the only album they made under that name was so wacky! It was awesome.

It truly is.

If you make more posts, it goes away and becomes "Tao Bum!" I'm interested in how you change that. It'd be nice for people to have their own little saying underneath the avatar.

Stuff that's infused with spontaneity and spirit. Whatever that is. Something that moves me and brings me in touch with my personal soul...which is full of different things. I listen to all kinds. Hip hop, hard rock, pop, punk, soul, classical, noise, electronica...anything that's good...but I'm also picky. My favorite albums are: Deftones - Around the Fur Tool - Aenima Wu Tang Clan - Forever Rage Against the Machine - Evil Empire The Jayhawks - Rainy Day Music Blur - Think Tank (or '13') Belle and Sebastian - If You're Feeling Sinister Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot Lately I've been enjoying this punk band called Jawbreaker, because of the breakdowns. I also really like Damon Albarn's (Blur, Gorillaz, Good Bad and the Queen) chord changes and melodies. Eddie Vedder's "Into the Wild" soundtrack is fun. I just heard this Yo Yo Ma cd that, surprisingly, I enjoyed listening to. Phew... How about you, cricketty-rise?
