I have 2 books out near my nightstand lately... "Qigong Teachings of a Taoist Immortal" by Stuart Alive Olson "The Primo Vascular System: It's Role in Cancer and Regeneration"

I practice 4 Yogas of Mahamudra, which if I so desire (I do) I can eventually extend my Mahamudra training into the 6 Yogas of Naropa (Heat Yoga or Tummo included). I also dabble in Qigong... Lately it's been Eight Brocades Qigong (seated) though I only have been doing 4 out of 8 Brocades because the full practice takes me 2 hours. But I feel it, and it includes an equivalent to cultivating Inner Fire, akin to Heat Yoga and Wim Hof Method. Bonus, this Qigong is also practiced by both Buddhists and Daoist alike.

My favorite tea is Wild Strawberry Tea, made with black tea and dried strawberry powder. Wild Strawberries are also good medicine in Traditional Tibetan Medicine.

Here is a magazine article on how to practice Mala Divination. Something Tibetan Buddhists and Bon alike practice. Without further ado, here it is... Mala.pdf

I own an expensive book called "The Primo Vascular System: It's Role in Cancer and Regeneration" and it mentions of North Korea's discovery of the anatomical system for acupuncture meridians, or channels as they are called in Tibetan. Then South Korea re-discovered it and now it is part of Korean science as Primo-vessels. It is fascinating stuff to learn more about the channels that are all about Daoist and Buddhist practices. Science is just another method or system of practice, that's why it is called the Scientific Method.

Well I accomplished Ngondro (prerequisites), then Mahamudra. I am an accomplished practitioner of Mahamudra, or Great Adept (yogi) as Mahasiddha means. I have realized the 4 Yogas of Mahamudra of this lineage.

I am back. And I picked up teachings of Ngondro, 4 Yogas of Mahamudra among other things from Lamar Lena online and am now a Mahasiddha. It took some effort in cultivation but I got there. Thankfully Mahamudra is essentially simple, as Lamar Lena pointed out to me. I still need to take my Refuge vows though. Waiting for that. Thanks everyone.

He sounds like someone to keep in mind, but for me right now I'm limited in computer time thanks to my personal situation, temporarily. But I can keep him in mind for the possible future. Is Dzogchen much different from Internal Alchemy in practice? Right now I'm working on Dragon Dao Yin. As well as occasional: Joy practices ("The Book of Joy"), Mindfulness, 6 Yogas of Naropa ("The Bliss of Inner Fire", Highest Yoga Tantra), Jedi Master practices, Utiseta trance ("Neolithic Shamanism") and various other techniques like Sun Meditation.

Theoretically how does one get a personal teacher in Dzogchen meditation without going all the way to Tibet, Nepal or India?

Self-correction: Kosta Danaos now goes by Kostas Dervenis. Pammachon is his Greek martial arts school.

Yeah I've seen some videos and it is mentioned as Empty Force in Damo Mitchell's book, "White Moon on the Mountain Peak." Also it has been brought up on topic years ago in Kosta Danaos' (now going by Kostas Dervenis) "Pammachon" Facebook group. What is Cosmic Healing I, may I ask?

I know it as the Empty Force ability.

Maybe someone has heard of them... Here is a link to the website for the Yellow Bamboo school https://www.yellowbamboo.net/john_chow_yellow_bamboo_en.htm Yellow Bamboo Written by John Chow What is Yellow Bamboo? Yellow Bamboo is a path of spiritual/self development, healing, health, protection and white magic founded in Singaraja, the northern tip of Bali. It is a spiritual practice control one’s inner energy in order to manifest our spirit’s intention to develop, heal, help others, protection etc. As a spiritual path of white magic leading human beings back to Tuhan (God), Yellow Bamboo relies on moral virtues, concentration/focus, and belief in Tuhan (God). In general, Yellow Bamboo is concerned with acquiring the necessary meditative stability & concentration, focus, internal energy and spiritual power to bring about healing, protection, tranquillity, and whatever positive goal that is desired. It rapidly build health, self confidence, concentration, endurance and well being as well as many other practical benefits. Human beings are very powerful and are limited only by the nature and strength of their beliefs. Yellow Bamboo entrusts the practitioner to the Almighty God who is without limitation. Yellow Bamboo is a path of Tenaga Dalam (Internal Power – Nei Gong). This involves development of internal power via yogic breathing methods (pranayama) and meditative stabilisation to create inner calm, focus and strength of body, mind and spirit. Essentially, Yellow Bamboo combines internal power development with the spiritual force of Balinese mysticism. In contrast to other spiritual paths, Yellow Bamboo produces results quickly. In as little as 2 or 3 days of intensive practice, practitioners can feel the energy as it grows in their bodies. Natural elements (Fire, Earth, Air, Water, Wood, Space) that exist in the world also exist within our human body, and Yellow Bamboo exercises nourish, stimulate, strengthen and increase them. With regular Yellow Bamboo practice, we can channel and control this energy for positive intentional goals. One facet of Yellow Bamboo energy is the very powerful protective aspects which react with full force against anyone who is really intent on harming a protected person or property. Being a spiritual practice of white magic, if someone uses Yellow Bamboo for negative intentions, it will either have no effect, or the energy will boomerang back on the practitioner. The power of Yellow Bamboo also can only be used when it is really needed, and can not be used for frivolous purposes such as tests, contests and challenges. When the practices of physical exercises, meditation and cleansing are carried out diligently the energy will automatically become available when it is required without need to summon it. Yellow Bamboo practitioners must always be willing and ready to help people in suffering, need. or distress. The benefit of Yellow Bamboo is to create the necessary power within you to achieve whatever positive goals you desire. Whether you desire self-realization, personal/professional/business/financial development, strength, confidence, success, greater self-esteem etc, Yellow Bamboo provides practical methods for easily and naturally achieving your outcomes. Regular practice of the physical techniques, cleansing and meditation results in belief in the heart and mind that anything and everything is possible. Once you begin to experience the unlimited force of Yellow Bamboo you can truly accomplish whatever you wish. One of the many benefits of the Yellow Bamboo is the immediate results you obtain actually while you are practicing. The Yellow Bamboo program is a cohesive, step-by-step method of attaining spiritual and personal development. You will achieve more spiritual, personal, business and financial development in one month than in years of yoga and meditation. Yellow Bamboo may have similarities with other spiritual traditions, in particular, Javanese mysticism, Majaphahit mysticism, Hinduism, Tibetan tantrism, Chi Kung (Qi Gong) and healing practices. Through meditation, prayer, visualisation, breath control, physical exercises and ritual, practitioners learn to transcend the mind and body. Yellow Bamboo, although Hindu based due to Balinese culture, is flexible and open, and thus, does not impose any particular religion on its practitioners. There are Muslim, Christian and Buddhist practitioners of Yellow Bamboo Yellow Bamboo has over 30,000 members worldwide. Because it requires a mature mind to practise, students generally must be above 16 years of age.

Midi-Chlorians:Physiology, Physics, and the Force by Chris Knight http://www.theforce.net/midichlorians/index.asp The boy nodded his understanding. "Can I ask you something?" The Jedi Master nodded. "What are midi-chlorians?" Wind whipped at Qui-Gon's long hair, blowing strands of it across his strong face. "Midi-chlorians are microscopic life-forms that reside within the cells of all living things and communicate with the Force." "They live inside of me?" the boy asked. "In your cells." Qui-Gon paused. "We are symbionts with the midi-chlorians." "Symbi-what?" "Symbionts. Life-forms living together for mutual advantage. Without the midi-chlorians, life could not exist, and we would have no knowledge of the Force. Our midi-chlorians continually speak to us, Annie, telling us the will of the Force." "They do?" Qui-Gon cocked one eyebrow. "When you learn to quiet your mind, you will hear them speaking to you." Anakin thought about it for a moment, then frowned. "I don't understand." Qui-Gon smiled, and his eyes were warm and secretive. "With time and training, Annie, you will." --from "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace" novelization by Terry Brooks

The author of the above website on Dao Yin seems to confuse Dao Yin with Qi Gong a little bit. But other than that it is informative.

I personally emailed some of these links to the Dalai Lama's email address.
