  1. Daoist Talisman Magic - Win The Lottery?

    EFreethought replied to Nuralshamal's topic in Daoist Discussion

    That "sultry baby" statue in the header image is weirding me out.

  2. Bagua, nei gong, meditation etc

    EFreethought replied to Kyungsay's topic in Welcome

    "Crazy wisdom" is BS. It's a term assholes use to justify their behavior. People should not fall for it.

  3. Transgender Q&A

    EFreethought replied to Maddie's topic in The Rabbit Hole

    He pardoned all the Jan 6 crazies (on top of the fact that he has never offered any evidence that the 2020 election was stolen). I think the real issue is that Trump is a signal to all the crazy people that it is okay to hurt people. I recently bought a gun and took a few lessons and got a membership at a local range just in case I need a gun. I also bought a few other handheld weapons recently.

  4. Wang Liping Low Level?

    EFreethought replied to MooNiNite's topic in Daoist Discussion

    I was not around for the mopai wars either. In the past year a now-banned member accused another member's wife of being a prostitute (simply based on her country of origin) and that second member threatened legal action. That was pretty interesting. I wonder what happened with that.
  5. So if someone is past their 30s, is Five Dragons off limits?

  6. Xiang Gong - Fragrant Qigong

    EFreethought replied to adept's topic in Daoist Discussion

    Thanks for the info. Another question: How did you learn it? Did you get the DVDs from John Dolic's website? Or did you do a video conference?

  7. Xiang Gong - Fragrant Qigong

    EFreethought replied to adept's topic in Daoist Discussion

    So what changes have you seen from 100 days of Level 1?
  8. I have a couple of questions: 1. How much physical space is needed for Tao Tan Pai Kung Fu? 2. Can Tao Tan Pai Kung Fu be done by itself, or is learning/knowing Flying Phoenix a requirement?
  9. Are there any bagua practitioners on the forum? I would like some opinions on a local baguazhang instructor whose website I recently came across. https://baguakungfu.com/baguazhang/ https://baguakungfu.com/online-training/

  10. Wang Liping Contact

    EFreethought replied to Sinai's topic in Systems and Teachers of

    Hire a secretary to do this stuff for you.

  11. Wang Liping Contact

    EFreethought replied to Sinai's topic in Systems and Teachers of

    New to this topic, but: Starting responses/sentences with "Dude" or "Bro" just gives off a hostile, condescending vibe.

  12. Do you have a blog or a website?

    EFreethought replied to sean's topic in The Rabbit Hole

    Does anyone know what happened to this site?
  13. Here is an idea: ask questions about christianity on a christian forum and talk about Daoism on a Daoist forum.

  14. Teaching authentic neigong

    EFreethought replied to 小梦想's topic in General Discussion

    Also ask if you could post his reply here. I would be interested in what he has to say.

  15. Current Events Discussion

    EFreethought replied to doc benway's topic in Forum and Tech Support

    Thanks.

  16. The Height of Idiocy

    EFreethought replied to Lois's topic in The Rabbit Hole

    He seems more than a little high on himself.

  17. Current Events Discussion

    EFreethought replied to doc benway's topic in Forum and Tech Support

    I would like access to the Current Events section in the Rabbit Hole.

  18. How not to lose qigong energy? How do I stop the leak?

    EFreethought replied to zfer's topic in Welcome

    Is there anything more to the exercise than "exercise consisted of imagining white energy forming under my navel when I breathed in, and spreading out when I breathed out."? Or is that it?

  19. Yi Jin Jing/ Tendon-Muscle Strengthening Exercises

    EFreethought replied to Thrice Daily's topic in Daoist Discussion

    Robert Peng has an online course on Yi Jin Jing. If you sign up in the next day you can get a discount. I might sign up for it. A few people on this forum over the years have said good things about it.
  20. Check out Tasshin. He loves the whole universe. https://tasshin.com/

  21. Falun Dafa/Falun Gong

    EFreethought replied to Lukks's topic in Daoist Discussion

    Sounds like TM. I wonder if there are (or will be) groups that split off and do the method without all the weirdness, as happened with TM.

  22. Any religion spread by force got nothing to offer

    EFreethought replied to Sir Darius the Clairvoyent's topic in General Discussion

    OT, but here is a joke I read recently: Why were the Star Wars trilogies release out of order? In charge of the schedule Yoda was.

  23. Wim Hof, some less savoury details

    EFreethought replied to blue eyed snake's topic in General Discussion

    I followed along a few WHM breathing videos, but I could not get past a 2:00 hold. It never got easier. I did not push the tension into my head in the 15-second hold after the main holds. Now I am doing o2 and co2 tables from freediving. I breathe deeply during the breathing part, and only about 10 seconds of hyperventilation before the holds. I do feel like my baseline energy is higher, but not like the immediate boost that a lot of WHM people talk about. Hopefully I am not using any core qi or jing. My instructor has said positive things about WHM and breathwork in general. But he does not think pushing the tension into the head as they do in WHM is a good idea.

  24. Wim Hof, some less savoury details

    EFreethought replied to blue eyed snake's topic in General Discussion

    Were your issues from the cold baths or from the breathing? When people say "Wim Hof Method", they could be referring to the cold, the breathing, or both.
  25. Even on a Daoist forum I can't get away from christians.
