Here's from a recent post on my blog: It's exactly as Master Nan states in his book "Tao & Longevity": "Those who employ Buddhist meditation methods generally suppose mental cultivation is sufficient. As a consequence, physical transformations and bodily changes are ignored. [...] Taoists therefore criticize Buddhist methods as showing only 'the cultivation of their nature,' and not 'the cultivation of life.'" I personally prefer Master Nan's view on this issue which is: "Some people fear that crossing the legs in meditaion not only constitutes a hazard to health, but that the pressing of the blood vessels of the legs may lead to a serious illness such as phlebitis, etc. Therefore, a disagreeable tingling or numbness in the legs during meditation causes some people to become apprehensive. This is a misunderstanding. Actually, one's health has an important relationship with one's legs and feet." Then he posted these excerpts from Master Nan, Huai-chin on the cultivation of qi into shen: http://www.webofmimicry.com/wom2/index.php?topic=16710.0 Very few actually reach this stage of transforming ch'i into shen. Master Nan, Huai-chin

sykkelpump -- thanks for the feedback about Robert Bruce. He was recommended by someone else and so I, being open-minded, started digging to see what I could find. Your feedback is very helpful. So you think Robert Bruce is fake? You think he just has an over-active imagination? Or do you just think his techniques don't enable others to have astral projection?

Here's the coasttocoastam interview with Robert Bruce: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQyNJSSrY5Y...feature=channel Here he is doing his thing: Here's a short book by Robert Bruce: http://www.scribd.com/doc/2425218/NEW-ENER...by-Robert-Bruce

bindo -- I'm a huge fan of Nick Redfern. I highly recommend his books: Body Snatchers in the Desert (on Roswell -- a totally different angle on it) Strange Secrets (on cattle mutilation and FBI UFO research) The Man-Monkey and his other cryptozoology books -- i.e. his trip to Puerto Rico for the Chupacabra search. http://nickredfern.com is his website for some free video lectures as well. Nick's other blog is http://ufomystic.com Did you catch the final questions? My radio reception went bad after the contactee called up saying he knew Jim Mosely, John Keel and Tim Beckley. An older dude who had a contact in the 1950s around West Virginia. What happened after that? thanks.

Yeah it's an interesting point. For example Chunyi Lin says that people who run too much actually die earlier because too much strain on the heart. Meditation relies on the vagus nerve which relaxes the heart. Still you can die from over-activating the vagus nerve -- too much relaxation! My guess is that if you combine the too it could be even more deadly -- an extreme shift from the parasympathetic to the sympathetic.

This is an excellent book focused on stating the mind on its own is weak. Chi is created from the lower body energy but the foundation must first be the mind. Still the mind on its own won't do much. So this book focuses on the "small universe" or "microcosmic orbit" practice but the chi is created from "purification" of the energy down the front of the body through mind emptiness. I call this "ionization" -- since the sex energy has to be burned off into electromagnetic energy. Standing exercise will do this as well but the microcosmic orbit will do the same. The full-lotus is like an active moving exercise as a sitting exercise since you put pressure on the legs, like you do when standing. http://books.google.com/books?id=a_olqazEV...;q=&f=false As the qi develops then it replaces food intake -- and the bigu diet kicks in -- which then further advances qi development until "real" meditation kicks in. That's when a master is needed since the chi will be very stronger and not suited to mundane reality. It's about chapter 10 in the above book.

Qigong master Chunyi Lin said that ice cold drinks have a scorching effect that causes damage just like when a pan that is TOO HOT is destroyed from cold water. I was at a restaurant with qigong master Jim Nance and when the waitress asked if we wanted water he said yes and then as she walked away he said -- "oh and NO ICE!" haha. Maybe in Florida you don't notice as much since it gets so hot down there. But Chunyi Lin calls Minnesota the "Tibet" of the U.S. so once the tummo gets going you definitely don't want to scorch it with ice water. The temperature here has been around zero degrees -- thirty degrees below freezing -- pretty often for the past couple weeks. Still the tummo can be initiated by meat but the heat is from the electromagnetic ionization -- so food actually does slow down the heat energy. I mean meat produces heat obviously -- that's what most Minnesotan rely on for their heat source. Tummo must be from electrolysis of water or something. It's the opposite reason why in deep full-lotus practice you can go without water -- since the reverse electrolysis produces water from the air. So I guess the hotter the tummo the greater the risk from the opposite extreme of temperature. I agree though that "chi" is not as powerful as "shen" energy -- and Tai-chi doesn't focus on the shen spiritual energy as much. So that's probably why the Tai-chi master croaked since he couldn't kick it up to the laser energy as easily. Arctic Med Res. 1989 Apr;48(2):64-74. Sauna, shower, and ice water immersion.

http://www.mindstudio.net/blog/?p=56 Have you heard about the Ice Man yet -- he was tested on some cable show.... Duh -- he's Dutch! haha.

Santiago -- Bodri's teacher is Master Nan, Huai-chin. Master Ni, Hua-ching is the one who wrote about the Tai-Chi master winning a competition and then being offered a nice big icey glass of coke when he got his award, which promptly killed him. http://killercoke.org/

I think this Bill Bodri article on chakras and kundalini is must reading: http://www.meditationexpert.com/yoga-kung-...d_kundalini.htm

The book is just a written down version of the audio material. It's just the basic information. It's true I've seen material removed from that site by the owner of the copyright, similarly I've seen the same removals on youtube. Obviously copy-right violation is a huge issue on the internet, especially in the music industry. But it's most difficult to claim ownership of music since the basic principles of melody and intervals are so similar. I would say qigong is the same -- the "small universe" or "microcosmic orbit" practice is the foundation of Spring Forest Qigong and you only need the audio c.d. to guide the practice -- if you want. Otherwise you can use the scribd book from Mantak Chia. If you want to practice on an advanced level then you'd want to follow the book "Taoist Yoga: Alchemy and Immortality." Good luck in your practice.

The website says they don't violate copyright so I guess it's a free exchange of information -- really the radical idea behind the internet. Fair use law doesn't require permission but I see your point about it undermining another person's ability to make a profit. Personally I just give away my books and c.d.s etc. when I'm done with them. Still most people are too busy getting drunk or stoned or having sex, etc. to really focus their mind on this material! haha.

bindo Nick Redfern is on http://coasttocoastam.com RIGHT NOW discussing his new book CONTACTEES and the picture of the Integratron is on the website for the interview. I'm listening to it right now: http://www.coasttocoastam.com/article/nick-redfern-images http://contacteesbook.blogspot.com/

The shen is laser-holographic transmission and it's a very rare transmission. It feels like a laser and you see light when it gets transmitted. The chi is the "zapping" transmission or electromagnetic. The jing is the blissful heat created from the chemical energy of the body.

The feelings are with the organs of the body -- so you can feel your organs get activated -- fear is kidney, sadness is lung, worry is pancreas, overexcitement is reproductive and then the heart connection, anger is the liver. So the reverse breathing will then release the feelings -- bringing the yang energy from the upper body down to the yin electrochemical energy of the lower body -- the electrochemical energy is the emotional energy. The reverse breathing then transforms the feeling and the mind follows the breath. The microcosmic orbit or small universe is the practice to transform the feelings using the mind to guide the energy.

I had watched that already. I do the same bouncing in full-lotus -- at least until the blockages clear out before the central channel kicks in. In fact I was just bouncing before I read your comment. It's not "me" bouncing -- it's the electromagnetic fields cruising up through the neck into the brain and then out of the skull via the pineal gland. So as the brain channels clear out there's cracking and popping and then this magnetic bliss just gets stronger and stronger. Then the light kicks in as the central channel opens up and the cracking quiets down. The vagus nerve pulsates along with the carotid artery. And this force pulls up the head so that the back feels just suspended up. The inner smile is actual from the inner ear -- which was created from the actual jaw for the early primates -- the tree shrews. So the inner ear is the smile connecting to the pineal gland bliss. haha.

http://kevinsmithshow.com/files/bosley/index.htm Here you go.

Yeah that vid is something I could totally relate to but now I just sit in full-lotus and shoot the energy through the ceiling or through the wall or through the floor -- strictly third eye transmission.

Wow -- sounds extreme: http://forum.rickross.com/read.php?12,47136

Here's Santiago projecting his chi at a distance http://www.youtube.com/user/silatyogi#p/u/85/mU7GK8eRYmg

Mantak Chia was asked how does he know he's building the spirit body? He answered because he feels a hot sensation in his stomach. That's just the start but then you build an electromagnetic ball in the stomach. So then it increases and is like the Leidenfrost Effect -- when you throw water on a hot skillet the water bounces around in balls -- dancing -- because it's SO HOT that a plasma forms through instantaneous vaporization. The plasma creates a barrier against the heat. The plasma is the shen or laser holographic spirit body. So there's three levels of the chi -- there's the bliss heat (electrochemical kundalini) and then there's the Tai-Chi master level which is the "zapping" electromagnetic and then there's the more powerful laser-holographic shen spirit body. So the Tai-chi master works with a lower level of chi than a real qigong master who focuses on the shen or laser-holographic energy. Still any energy blockage has to be transformed. So a real qigong master like Wang, Liping -- they eat very little food and if they do eat it is then raw food, etc. They can take in any type of food -- even deadly poison is one of the tests that Chunyi Lin had to take to get his "international qigong master" certification from the government. One of the other students said that Chunyi Lin said that. Another story Chunyi Lin mentions is when the local town drunk challenged him since Chunyi Lin doesn't drink alcohol and in China you have to drink to be a "real man." So they had to drink 6 bottles of wine each so Chunyi Lin just transferred all the alcohol in his wine to the town drunk -- so it was 12 to 0.

Well it could be like the nose channels -- how the left nostril has the energy open for a 2 hour cycle and then the right nostril.... Still once you open up the central channel then it over-rides those differences but they amplify the effects. Especially the 11 am to 1 pm or 11 pm to 1 am with the first being the lower tan tien and the 2nd being the upper tan tien -- solar energy. You can double your meditation effects during those times daily.

Actually cold food is considered not only bad but dangerous -- ice can kill because of the scorching effect -- just like a reallly hot pan under cold water can ruin it. Master Chunyi Lin warns against taking in ice and also Master Ni, Huan-chi tells a story about a Tai-Chi master who won a competition and at the award acceptance he was offered an ice cold coke so he downed it, then died.

Are these students ready? http://gralienreport.com/psychic-phenomena...he-death-touch/
