Absolutely. Anorexia/bulimia has been one of the most destructive things I've seen someone go through. Not just to the body but obviously the mind and every other aspect of trying to live a life of torment and secrecy. If starving yourself or any other over-austerity has been part of what's gotten things to this point, go and get you a dang quarter pounder with cheese and no regrets.

a thing called order simple to define, but hard to follow sometimes

Hey @Tryingtodobetter I don't know if it's already been one of the recommendations or if you have any experience with fasting. If there's something eating you from the inside why not stop feeding it? Literally. Cut off the energy source. I'm not even that fond of the word 'fasting' because it also has connotations of some spiritual or energetic practices, but those can just complicate things and keep introducing even more of other energies. Digestive system is chemically powerful, to be able to break down foods. When no food arrives for a while, certain enzymes themselves will travel from the intestines to the blood stream looking for miscellaneous junk they might be able to burn. You don't have to kill your whole body in order to kill what's trying to kill you.

aww, we accept u just the way you are, but appreciate the clarification

I've only been on here a couple years, but I always kinda got an impression of ViYY as being at least "on the spectrum". Now that concept gets thrown around a lot these days it seems. Heck, I wonder how many more of us than not would be considered in a certain light. Anyway. Please let me disclaim I'm saying all this with zero disrespect intended. Quite the contrary. Whether it's endemic or a result of being poked in the third eye. Being mental shouldn't be an automatic excuse for being rude or a perv, but it does warrant certain consideration in judgments passed. All too especially with regards to levels of awkwardness or appropriateness deemed any form of interpersonal interaction, and apology or lack thereof for it. I'm going to leave it at that, and I hope I'm not just totally off base here. Personally I think he's great, but I am a weirdo also

Saturn also joins the party, just visible here near the top left corner. There's a new Moon hiding somewhere around here. The sliver crescent should show up tomorrow.

Can a planet move a person, and vice versa? Yet both are only truly moved by the Dao. The planet just speaks the mind of the Dao more reliably. For fickleness on the part of a planet, would take too astronomical an amount of energy. Can learn a lot from planets.

That’s awesome! As a tyke I took many a trolley ride to the land of make-believe, and other groovy projects around the neighborhood. All set to some tight piano jazz to boot. I‘ve caught some documentary about what a saint in real life he was, too. I’m so glad to hear this movie is doing justice to the greatness.

Did you take his advice?

Angst? Here? Whaaaat? Seriously though, sorry to hear you are laid up. I wish you solace and healing. Was zhan zuan prescribed/recommended specifically or just known to help recover and strengthen in general?

Excellent perspective. i listened with earbuds and the relative volume seems fine, but occasionally some wind is hitting the mic. Nothing detrimental and it’s even kinda cool. There might be an issue with echoing. You can try rigging some kind of drapes over the larger hard flat surfaces out there.

What’s up! I like your background picture, “DANCE“ Do you take any lessons, or just boogie down?

What's he like in person? He seems nice. Well this just sounds like what those with vendetta against ruler-wielding penguins say. ... indeed,

@flowing hands I’m just glad to see you’ve stuck around. I can understand it might be irksome if for instance you’re working your arse off to maintain a fit flying Ferrari and someone comes along saying “meh, my beat up station wagon is really just as good.” It’s just a fact of the times that the dao should flow into myriad diverse, even contemptible, nuances in order to do its work. Christ is a legitimate savior, no matter what “the church” has subsequently dragged them into. JAJ, in his healing work, rather than turn away a Christian genuinely seeking his aid, on the grounds they can’t believe in his brand of magic, has forged a real and miraculous bridge.

Do the postures look anything like this? I used to do a Damo qigong except with open hands instead of or in addition to fists. I'm thinking it might be a similar or less intense / entry level. It also static, starting from a stillness pose, hands resting in lap. Then progress to an intermediate movement, with hands raised near chest level. Finally an active movement of holding a maximum extension for as long as it takes until fatigued. Always recover in the intermediate movement before changing to a different active pose, or to stillness. The basic process is detailed here: http://taoiststudy.com/qigong_practice/free-qigong-course-part-one
