  2. Question on SFQ Practice

    The physical movements are necessary. At first you want 3 times more standing active exercise movements (tai chi, etc.) to the sitting passive exercises. The small universe exercise is the foundation for the practice. So as it advances then it moves into the macrocosmic orbit naturally -- which is the immortal breathing as the long distance healing. So the Level 3 exercises of the Sun and Moon meditations are focused on the central channel energy as the macrocosmic energy or prenatal chi energy -- the moon is the neck chakra as the psychic energy while the sun is the heart and third eye soul energy. The Level 4 is the "rainbow astral" energy -- so that's the deep bone transformation. During the Level 3 and Level 4 training the focus is doing deeper long distance healing -- as Chunyi Lin says the more you go into the emptiness the more the power of the energy. Chunyi Lin says he could teach another 10 levels but he also says you can learn the first 4 levels as conceptual information but still not be at those levels in terms of practice. So those 4 levels are more than enough for people to work on in terms of their practice levels. You can take the Level 1 and Level 2 back to back -- it's set up so people can fly in for an extended weekend. But then before Level 3 Chunyi Lin recommends 3 months of training -- which is, of course, the traditional "100 days" as the gong to again "lay the foundation." through the small universe practice to open up the third eye. At the Level 3 class then he touches the forehead to shoot energy into the middle of the brain to open up the third eye so that people can do long distance healing and also so that people can have permanent bliss. That's the enlightenment training.
  3. Question on SFQ Practice

    Umm that quote of me doesn't ring a bell -- it might have been someone else commenting on my blog? Anyway the goal for the practice is to open the third eye -- which is the middle of the brain -- so there is a permanent physiological transformation of your perception. This is called "Laying the Foundation" in the book "Taoist Yoga: Alchemy and Immortality" -- or "achievement of cessation" in Theravada Buddhism. It's called the "Dharmakaya" in Mahayana Buddhism. But Bodri and Nan emphasize that traditionally in Ch'an Buddhism once the Dharmakaya was achieved then the meditator would go off into solitude to further transform the body to develop the Nirmanakaya and Sambogakaya -- sp?... To do this further development then the energy does have to be further stored in the lower tan tien. Still at the same time once the third eye is opened then true nondualism is experienced -- which is called the Emptiness in Taoism -- the Original Face, the Moon, etc. At that stage our "true" self is not our body, nor is it our mind -- and the energy keeps transforming based on the interactions between our self and others. The energy is transmitted out of the third eye and the energy goes in through the perineum, etc. So that's the goal - Gurdjieff calls it the Number 4 person with the "permanent center of gravity" in the center of the brain. But the Number 5 person with the fully opened third eye is much harder to achieve -- it's the true alchemical agent for long distance astral travel, etc. It's after the Number 4 person that Nan and Bodri focus on -- AFTER Nirvikalpa samadhi -- and it can not be described in words. After chapter 11 in the book "Taoist Yoga" is also focused on this. For example Michael Winn discusses how he encouraged Mantak Chia to NOT put the astral "pearl" travel visualization exercises in Mantak Chia's "Fusion of the Five Element" exercise books. Michael Winn states that these "pearl" or spirit travel out of the brain exercises are types of brain ejaculations which are dangerous. The book "Taoist Yoga" also states that if there is astral travel before the lower tan tien chi is developed enough strong enough shen -- then there is dizziness and it is also dangerous. Also at this stage between Number 4 and Number 5 it's easy to have many "chi in the brain" delusions -- of the ego from the spiritual powers -- or of too much love over-excitement -- so that people are over-whelmed by the bliss -- or there is too much cerebral activity -- or there is body sickness from over-using the spiritual energy -- or there is too much fear from the dangers involved, etc. These issues are also discussed in "Taoist Yoga" - it's chapter 9, 10 or 11 -- can't remember off-hand. One chapter is focused on making sure not to lose the alchemical agent during sleep, another is focused on the immortal breathing of Nirvikalpa samadhi, and the third is on all the above problems that can develop during this stage. So I experienced the dizziness from trying to have spiritual astral travel before I had changed enough chi into shen. Then I had lost the alchemical agent. Then I had all the other various imbalances of chi and jing, etc. from not having the proper context for the training. So that's why at that stage -- AFTER Number 4 is reached -- after the Dharmakaya is experienced -- then you really need the guidance of an energy master who can transmit and personally supervise the training -- you need to be accepted formally by a teacher, in a one-to-one training situation. This is rare in the East, much less in Africa or more so the West. So normally a teacher will have one assistant that gets the main transmissions and supervision so that they can be trained as an energy master. They get chosen by the teacher -- the student has to be specially qualified based on merit, karma, past training, etc.
  4. Question on SFQ Practice

    Basically what Master Nan and Bodri call "cessation and contemplation" (which includes insight/shamata/vipassana, etc.) is that it is the path as the goal or the goal as the path -- it's the most important practice. At the same time it is also the slowest practice to get results. This is detailed in their "Measuring Meditation" book. If you read Master Nan's first three Ch'an lecture books his focus is how in Buddhism "mind yoga" on its own does not transform the body and without transforming the body then you don't get to the 8th level of consciousness, when the body gets sick. So when you access and activate the prenatal chi during the small universe training this is the activation of the true kundalini energy and if you can focus that energy in the body, continuing to store it up and transduce it then you can create the "alchemical agent." But after the "alchemical agent" is created that means the conversion of chi to shen has been completed so that the third eye is fully open and real astral travel can happen through the yin spirit body. The trick is that this process is done in nirvikalpa samadhi which means that the energy of your body merges with the energy of the environment as a holograph. So that's why Master Nan, huai-chin states it's impossible to describe real samadhi anyway -- not to mention it's not allowed according to the Buddhist monk codes. So anyway what Master Nan and Bodri do state is that if you rely on "esoteric yoga" which uses the right brain visualization instead of relying on the emptiness meditation (contemplation and cessation or source of the I-thought as a K'oan) then it's very easy to get attached to the body energy without the proper means to balance the energy by "emptying it out." At the same time if you do have proper guidance from a master then the esoteric yoga (tantra, taoist alchemy, etc.) is a very fast, powerful path to take. Finally Master Nan and Bodri state that any type of energy exchange where a yogi is taking in someone's jing and then transmitting chi -- as is the case with tantric healing and is what I practice as well -- that is just no different then any other type of pollution of the body -- feces, phelgm, etc. So the focus of Master Nan and Bodri is to get past the 1st Dhyana of bodily bliss which is the lower heavenly realm of desire. Tantra at its best can get you to the lower level of the realm of form heaven. This is why for real meditative practice it's best to have at least an environment that understands these differences -- maybe a monastery (although most of these probably don't focus enough on meditation but more now on doing rituals and teaching, etc). When the 1st Dhyana is achieved and the immortal breathing starts with the real kundalini then you are converting jing to chi and you can go without food and even water. That's when the real meditation begins but it's also dangerous to do -- more so because mundane reality will attack you as insane or something like that. Since at this level of creating strong chi you are also doing spirit exorcisms of people around you. Master Nan, Huai-chin states that at this stage in humanity it is probably best not to meditate at all considering how low the dharma is -- and he also states that the question of why humanity even exists is a very critical one to answer in the realm of the 6th level of consciousness. So that's what I spent my last 10 years of research on -- why has humanity existed, what is its purpose on earth, etc. It was a fun research project to be sure. If you look at the history of energy healing -- the Bushmen have the same as qigong or any other type of spiritual meditation powers -- Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, etc. So the N/um energy for the Bushmen is the same as kundalini or jing while the !KIA is their chi-shen healing transmissions. Now the Bushmen culture were the ORIGINAL human culture for 90% of human history from 10,000 BCE to 100,000 BCE. So the Bushmen males trained for a month when they hit puberty -- trained with the older males doing fasting, trance dance, getting energy transmissions -- all away from the females. But it wasn't until the Bushmen were 40 years old that they were able to become a Master Healer -- so that they could STARE without losing focus -- as the healing energy is laser energy. At the same time it is considered wrong in Bushmen culture for the males to HOARD THE N/UM ENERGY. The males state that they "collect the N/um of young maidens" but then the male healers transform the N/um into !KIA and give the !KIA energy back to the females, thereby exorcising the females of "dead spirit" energy of the lower emotions. So what happens is that sometimes the males try to hoard the N/um energy -- on occasion this is o.k. if there needs to be a long-distance healing done which means that the rest of the healers have to watch over the body of the master healer while his spirit is gone. So that is considered very dangerous. Other times a Master Healer will travel up to see God -- as the great sky spirit (the original source of the healing energy). Whereas the direct source of the healing energy is the Trickster god. Finally a master healer might start living on his own more and then spirit traveling or even shape-shifting as a yang spirit body into a lion. This is what creates fear among the other Bushmen now. At first the spirit traveling into lions is to communicate to them to not attack the Bushmen. But if a Master Healer starts living on his own and then shape-shifting into a lion this can also be used to attack other Bushmen. So the women do throw water on the male healers to keep the male healers from going too deep into trance so that they don't do astral travel. The energy is from the female N/um so then it should be used to HEAL the females!! But some males hoard the N/um and use it for alchemical powers. I see this as similar to the "Irrigation Empire" concept applied to Asia as it started in early civilizations -- like the Sanskrit vedic cultures, etc. So alchemy in a sense is the Plow-based farming (the translation of Tan Tien) used by the irrigation empires to try to store up the power of Nature (as chi/shen for body transformation). Whereas the original healing energy of the Bushmen was a free-flowing energy that was like a free river, constantly being polluted but then restored as clean through movement and the pollution becoming nutrients for the food chain, etc. Also the Bushmen males lived on a starvation diet -- when they hunted meat, it was saved until the next morning and then the food was shared with everyone. There were regular periods of very severe food restrictions from drought, etc.
  5. too much qi in the membrane

    The best small universe exercise I can recommend is the c.d. from http://springforestqigong.com -- it's a very helpful guidance practice. The whole purpose of the small universe is to cycle the energy down the front channel. Of course as the energy goes through the brain centers then there's sensations of magnetic pressure, bliss, light, visions. The dizziness is from the inner ear channels opening up. That's why it's always important to store the energy back into the lower tan tien. The other alternative is to return the energy back to the emptiness which is either outside your head -- but usually it's considered as the inner tan tien area. In reality the emptiness is always-already inseparable -- it's everywhere -- but the emptiness as consciousness is what creates the spirit light energy. So guiding the energy and using it for healing others -- if you have extra energy then it will naturally flow into others -- or storing it to build it up -- these are based on the situation you're in. Still if you focus on your hands by holding your arms out and sending the chi out of your hands then that will move the energy out of your head -- standing with the knees bent will increase your kidney energy and that will reduce the dizziness also (since the kidney channel is also for the inner ear energy).
  6. Question on SFQ Practice

    Wow the Fragrance qigong looks great but surprised I hadn't heard of it since Master Tian, Rui-sheng is named next to Yan, Xin. Yeah Chunyi Lin teaches the simplest is the most powerful and the basic teaching is to use your consciousness to go into the emptiness. I first attended qigong master Effie P. Chow's demonstration and that blew me away -- I felt really strong electromagnetic fields between my hands. Master Chow blew out the fuses for the room behind us, according to the University security guard. That was 1995 and so then I continued research and I went to San Francisco in 1996 to look further into Effie Chow but I didn't have any funds besides travel money. So then in 1997 I met the Yan Xin Chinese practitioners and started doing that, plus more research. I felt the lower tan tien heat from the Yan Xin and the bliss. Then I attended a Tibetan Llama lecture and I felt this buzzing in the center of my forehead -- which surprised me. I kept practicing and had some wild experiences but I was also very busy with other things and then my friend told me how she had studied with Chunyi Lin. I didn't give it much thought since he was just a local teacher I assumed -- but then Chunyi Lin presented to my graduate class at the U of Minnesota. I sat right in front and I knew right away he was the real deal. I had read Dr. Eisenberg's excellent book on qigong masters. http://books.google.com/books?id=DgFA-kVkuZEC&printsec=frontcover&dq=eisenberg+qigong&source=bl&ots=95szipKwCH&sig=FaQ1NhEpdCAARheneCiFLVQWq1A&hl=en&ei=zHFKTIKlJcSGnQeAke2BDw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4&ved=0CCEQ6AEwAw#v=onepage&q&f=false Yeah so I took an initial class with Chunyi Lin and he said he'd walk by us with his sword fingers and we'd hear the sound of his fingers shaking but to just keep doing the standing exercise calmly. When he walked by me and I heard the fingers -- suddenly I saw bright light and I felt this really amazing bliss -- the best bliss ever. It was a real love energy. So then I did more research -- reading Mantak Chia and then I discovered the "Taoist Yoga: Alchemy and Immortality" book. I also was researching nondualism big time. So then I made studying with Chunyi Lin the focus of my final graduate class as self-directed research. That was I could do the proper gong 100 day training -- and I ended it with the 8 day bigu -- called "achieved of cessation" in Theravada Buddhism -- and that got me to the immortal breathing -- it was between chapter nine and chapter 11 in the book "Taoist Yoga." So by that point I healed my mom of a serious illness so she no longer needed surgical stockings and I had telepathy, telekinesis and precognition. I also saw the dead spirits -- at the Level 3 retreat. Chunyi Lin says that when he's giving chi-emitting lectures then the dead spirits will regularly visit him to find help and so he gives them energy so they can return to the emptiness for peace. I had already seen the dead spirits but didn't say anything to anyone and then Chunyi Lin said that someone had asked about those spirits so he gave the answer. Strangely I had also just read about that same type of encounter from another meditation master. I had specially ordered the below book through inter-library loan: The Venerable Phra Acharn Mun Bhuridatta Thera, meditation master by Bauw Ă‘anasampanno, Phra Maha.; Siri Buddhasukh. (Samudra Prakarn, Thailand : Buddhist Books Service, 1995) After that I had some even more intense energy experiences -- external chi transmissions and spacetime travel and spirit exorcisms of other people. So I stopped practicing and then I discovered Master Nan, Huai-chin's books and I had to read his 5 books in english -- the trilogy of his memorized Buddhist lectures on Ch'an I had to read those book three times each just to understand the concepts he was communicating.... Still Chunyi Lin then transmitted the energy to the middle of my brain even though I had stopped practicing and ever since then there's this permanent magnetic bliss in the center of my brain -- that was 10 years ago. The initial training was just 6 months but for the gong training I went on the salt-free diet stated in "Taoist Yoga: Alchemy and Immortality."
  7. Question on SFQ Practice

    Yeah I just read Master Zhang just gave a workshop in Boston! There's another online report about a transmission from Master Zhang that was amazing. So Chunyi Lin said that when they (each in their own cave) were in the cave meditation for 49 days in full lotus they weren't allowed to sleep and that their Master was watching them with his third eye. That's the real training -- http://www.members.tripod.com/hronald/ahommmt/spring.htm Yeah here is that transmission from Master Zhang -- amazing testimony.
  8. Question on SFQ Practice

    Kate that stance for nonstop for 2 hours straight -- you can see this in Jackie Chan movies when he gets punished and he goes into the thunder palms. Then they put candles under his backside and on his knees and shoulders with the wax in there so if he moves he gets burnt. Anyway when Chunyi Lin later did his cave meditation that was no sleeping for 49 days -- nonstop full lotus the whole time. Also no food and no water -- and no sleep. That was through Master Zhang http://qigongmaster.com

  10. see white flickering after meditating

    yeah that's just the chi in the brain activating the visual cortex. It's when you start seeing light with your eyes open that you're then transmitting the shen energy out of the pineal gland. Still if you're seeing lights internally that's an excellent sign of building up the chi energy.

  12. Question on SFQ Practice

    Well last I heard (which was several years ago) Chunyi Lin starts his day out with a Tai-chi routine. So what you're doing sounds fine to me. At first Chunyi Lin says the practice is 3 times more standing active to the amount of passive sitting meditation. But then as the energy develops, using the "small universe" exercise and working into full lotus for third eye opening, the ratio switches to 3 times more passive sitting to 1 time standing active. Also you can definitely modify the SFQ active exercises. Chunyi Lin says you can do just a half hour of the "Moving of yin and yang" which is the foundation for the active exercises -- very simple yet powerful. Or you could do the "Harmony of Heaven and Earth" for half hour or the full routine working with the chi ball, etc. There's also the 1,000 palms of Buddha exercise and also the shaolin static standing practices -- training the sword fingers and the thunder palms. So while at Shaolin Chunyi Lin did the 2 hours nonstop thunderpalm training or sword finger training -- with the knees deeply bent and the thighs straight -- no movement allowed! That was everyday nonstop for 3 months I think. Then after that at Shaolin they did long distance healing using their now opened third eyes.
  13. Getting Down and Dirty with Dao

    Well since I had mentioned the humanure topic -- I've spent the last month focused on my new chestnut trees. The American Chestnut was the biggest single wipe-out of a tree species in the U.S. So I cleared out a ton of buckthorn (the top invasive species in Minnesota) and I planted 16 Chestnut tubelings -- they're actually a hybrid of Chinese and American Chestnuts.... Then they got full on smothered by candy-striped leafhoppers. So I used soap and oil spray to hunt down and kill the leafhoppers.... Then we had tornadoes and we're out of power for a few days. The deer got into my garden for the second time -- I use a make-shift buckthorn fence but the branches break down and sometimes I don't replace the branches.... So I got beans growing back, peppers, squash, pumpkins, corn, potatoes. I started using "liquid gold" urine fertilizer but then I was doing it around the house without watering it down enough so the ammonia smell got real bad. Anyway then I contracted Lymes Disease so I went on antibiotics and took pain relievers -- I never take legal drugs (except alcohol sometimes or coffee).... Still the "death warmed-over" symptoms of Lymes Disease is pretty bad -- I had absolutely no energy. Of course I used full lotus to charge myself up. I guess we all become humanure in the end. haha.

    Sweet! Yeah if you have Jim Nance for Level 1 he also does the long distance healing very effectively -- he can make the middle of your brain burn up at over 10 miles away -- that was my experience. http://www.thesheilashow.com/strength/lin/ This is the 48 hour free replay of the Sheilashow interview from yesterday -- not sure if it's the same as above which might be an earlier Sheila interview. Gotta check again. Yeah so these are two different interviews.
  18. How to overcome sugar cravings

    If you watch that Coca Cola Conspiracy video I posted by the doctor -- focusing on fructose as the single greatest cause for hypertension diabetes obesity He states that the normal level of sugar intake is 14 grams a day. 14 grams a day -- that's 5 prunes (dried plums). So sucrose is half fructose and he says fruit are o.k. because of the fiber but still that's just ONE serving of fruit per day.

  21. SHAKING by Bradford Keeney

    The Bushmen describe it as a fire in the belly that then shoots up the spine and opens up the brain into the !Kia state of awareness -- so the N/um (sp...) is the jing or kundalini energy. It's activated by listening to the females sing (the voice transmitts the jing energy) and also by dancing nonstop. But first to open up the !Kia state the males train on their own for a month -- when they enter puberty and the older males do the transmission with them -- relying on fasting and trance dance. There's a phenomenon of the Bushmen males "collecting the N/um of young maidens" but that is of course taboo to write in words as language is left brain dominant while the trance healing is right-brain dominant and !Kia works through the pineal gland. The Master healers focus on staring in a trance without moving at all so that the !Kia energy is better focused -- as it's laser energy it has to be harmonized with the mind focus.
  22. The Secret of Bigu!

    http://www.thunderbolts.info/tpod/2010/arch10/100630biology.htm A major problem in biology is the internal motion of proteins. Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania using Magnetic Resonance Imaging were surprised to discover that the calmodulin protein molecule possesses an internal "jitter" that shakes it billions of times per second. This revelation led them to conclude that it is not merely the complex folded shape of such molecules that affects their function, but their internal movement. According to Dr. Joshua Wand, “The situation is akin to the discussion in astrophysics in which theoreticians predict that there is dark matter, or energy, that no one has yet seen.” Where the internal energy necessary for protein binding comes from is unknown at the present time, but it seems likely, based on research with electrostatic fields on various organisms, that there is an electrical component to the source. Cell walls are arranged in a double layer configuration with positive and negative ion channels built-in. http://www.urzeit-code.com/index.php?id=23 In addition to corn and trout experiments, the results of experiments with wheat were also amazing: thus the cereal exposed to the electrostatic field developed new proteins, which people looked for in the original wheat to no avail. Furthermore, it surprisingly produced much larger roots than the control group. This had the advantage of allowing the crops to grow far more rapidly. And occasionally in these experiments, a variant emerged which resembled the genetic antecedents of the wheat. Thus, a meadow grass-like arrangement of ear shoots and small narrow leaves was observed, for example. "In the case of our 'manipulated' wheat, growth was so rapid that it was ripe in four weeks instead of the usual seven months", Heinz Schürch recalled. "However one has to say that although the ears and stalks were somewhat smaller, there were more ears per plant. The actual benefit is that we could cultivate this wheat in regions where spring and summer are short – where conventional wheat cannot be grown at all." In this case, one can also cheerfully refrain from using pesticides and herbicides: "The pests that have adapted to the growth process of normal wheat have not yet developed when we harvest our wheat as early as four to eight weeks after planting."
