Agree with that, sometimes after hour of bagua circling it feels like you can go through someone without even noticing. However I do prefere Taiji for it is more balanced for me and makes my body and spirit stronger.

Yes, however Daoists are magic folks. We can help our partner to grow up, to develop inner qualities and accelerate self-perfectioning. So living with the daoist is a challenge, however I think that is worth it

Hello everyone! Glad to start my account at this resource. Actually I was reading it from time to time, but now decided to join the community. Open to research --- DaoKeeper

I don't think that Dao Keeper should look after the manifested universe. That would be really tough to do. However I believe Dao will handle it without efforts on my side Basically I concern my practice most of the time and take the universe as a perfect example of how should I behave and how should I practice. Everyone of us is connected to the Universe after all not regarding if you like it or not. So considering this I'd like to double your sentance: Managing the Universe - NO Managing yourself - YES Best Regards

Hahaha!!! This is SO TRUE! Living with Taoist means self-perfectioning everyday. Not everyone can actually handle this. Thank you for the topic

Thank you, Rara for sharing this experience. I think several practicioners should have spent 1-3 years to finally realize the simplicity of the life. Thumbs up for this. Also I did write nothing about meat-eating because I'm sure there are vegans on this forum and I'm sure they also know what vegetables/beans/spices should they use to warmup in the Winter time.

I usually change my diet when I do feel the winter is coming. That means focus more on the food which gives you more warmth. Second point is to change the clothes. If you feel chilly - just take warm clothes on and you are in the balance again. Dao is always simple. These two are the most basic things to do for me

Marblehead, WayofChi, I believe that everyone of us is the Dao keeper, so thank you for warm welcome I hope I'll be able to pay you back one day, by posting on TDB Have a nice day.
