Aetherous

I will need to attain gold dragon body WITH my guitar so that I can move at the speed of light there instead of making the trek across the country at human speed again!

I watched the first 15 seconds of that and started cracking up

Yeah the indoor wood one was most likely 51. Originally it was on Wisconsin Ave, then they moved it closer to Menasha. Anyway lol, welcome to taobums.

Area 51? My good friend's family used to own it! Awesome, if that's what you're talking about!

Well, kunlun progresses really fast each day! Hopefully they bring a seminar somewhere in the midwest...untapped area here! I can't wait to go to another one! Wow I'm doing a lot of "!" Anyway I'm in Appleton for another week at my parents, then I'm moving up to Marquette Michigan in the UP. How about you?

Good practices! Kunlun is great, especially after going to a seminar! This is the first time I've heard of hunyuan.

Yeah! Humid, overcast, then sunny, then storming...what the hell is going on! Anyway what kind of stuff do you practice?

Great state.

Definitely beaming up! Or down? But no I don't disappear. My mind has a few times with red phoenix practice, but I guess that's not as advanced of a thing as having your arm disappear?

I'm getting what I consider advanced results with one transmission. Each day it gets greater.

Hey! Good part of the country! I'm in WI/Upper MI.

Well you did call us kunloonies. But in all seriousness, I wasn't only saying that about you... By the way, I know people have asked before, but is there a good source for info on the kunlun/bonpo connection? I look into some bonpo stuff on the net but it's hard to see where it connects. Thanks!

It's so crazy how this could turn into a kunlun vs kap thing. Why do that? Both are great from what I can see! What's the point of all this?

Actually running it in reverse counters the negative effects of the proper orbit...at least that's what Jwing Ming says in his book, The Root of Chinese QiGong. Here's a little excerpt. I'll just put the important info and leave out the rest:

This is a great video of Sifu Wong Kiew Kit demonstrating horse riding stance. Really helped me understand the posture more! I started learning about this concept of rooting, first from Vajrasattva in another thread. Then I recalled that it is actually in a few of my qigong books already (Root of Chinese Qigong by Jwing Ming, as well as the guy in the video's Shaolin Kung Fu book), so last night I went back and did some studying...I think this video best demonstrates how to do it. And after having practiced it a couple of times today, I think it's a great technique! Enjoy!

Well they say that the chi is cosmic, which is similar to the ultraviolet 3 in deep space idea. They do "induced chi flow" which is a lot like kunlun level 1...not in the form but in the fact that the chi flow is moving the body and does the same thing to people. Other things I can't recall right now...

Yee haw! Giddyup! So yeah, I also don't see why you can't learn stances from a video or book. Maybe just because the teacher can't give you on the spot corrections, like if you're leaning too far forward or something...but that is just corrected by consistent practice, so . As an aside, shaolin wahnam qigong reminds me A LOT of the k-word.

Yep he did say that, as well as with the bagua...you can do it really low.

Great post!

I really liked the awareness watching awareness method back when I was meditating heavily. Energetically I found that it's the most balancing, and it's a practice where the goal IS the practice...which is cool. I also had some very real, weird experiences...for instance once thousands of different kinds of birds started circling above my trailer (when I was in Iraq), and another couple of times it seemed that thunderstorms came as a result of a deep experience with it. I still think it could just be coincidences, but the bird thing was especially weird.

Yep! My view has changed towards the whole thing now. I can't wait to go to another seminar.

Santiago, I just gotta say it's great you're here. You seem like you definitely know what you're doing! And despite me being a k-word practitioner, I plan on attending the KAP workshop whenever I can...I love learning new things!

Smiling really helps move stagnant energy from the third eye, if you find you're getting a headache, as does keeping your tongue on the "dragon ridge" right behind where the back of your top teeth meet with your upper palate.
