  1. What is Chi (炁 and 氣)?

    astral relates a lot to emotional energies, which can go into and be thought/feeling forms projected out...the world of mankind has mega tons of that goin on.

    right so a good massage and foot rub is along the same lines but without any chance of making babies, (in a sudden moment)
  8. Kundalini vs Jing Chi Shen

    it's a life time process for most schools (at least) as I believe most Taoists would agree with, btw. I know very little about Taoism but there are many here who have been involved with it in various ways for a long time so hopefully they will be able to help a lot more? In yoga systems/schools karma yoga is a very important part of and one's foundation for practice, its also protective in a sense for being grounded for both student and master a like. So I'd say research is fine but don't jump into methods other than very basic well rounded, down to earth healthy ways that apply to life in general without having well a qualified teacher for further guidance. Here is a link to a school you might like, it looks fine to me but one has to find out for themselves in all such things. https://www.collegeoftao.org/harvest-moon-by-dr-mao-shing-ni.html
  9. Kundalini vs Jing Chi Shen

    "for a few days" ??? besides what goes into the mouth there is that which comes out via thoughts/feelings. One could be a great yogi and still fall right into the hell realms for various reasons...as happened to rishis long lost to history.
  10. Let's Talk About Enlightenment(s)

    we are not our minds, minds are our great tools,
  11. Everything is perfect?

    "And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against us..." so ok and to break the chains that bind us, which includes the idea of us not repeating the same problems over and over again with more and more karma and thus learn from and admit our mistakes, along with the question of how much rationalization or slack should I cut for myself and for our undeniable joint wee wee's, being that none of us are total islands.
