  1. Thanks. I was wondering whether the body resistance decreases when the channels and meridians of the body were cleared and the dantien was full of qi, referring to what freeform had posted earlier.
  2. Assuming body resistance, what would be the voltage generated to light the LED? Does the body resistance decrease once all the channels are cleared?
  3. Original Dao Bums

    @Straybird Have you looked into the ease of exporting reddit chats to proboards or others?
  4. Non-dualistic Shaivite school(s)

    With one system absorbing the practices of another( like Vedata adopting the practices of Saiva tantra) there does not seem to be any clear line of demarcation anymore.
  5. How my body decided to kill itself

    A series of videos on dragon sickness and qi blockages, thanks to @Earl Grey who posted this link earlier. Might offer something useful.
  6. Vedic Astrology (Jyotish)

    SKY members might be helpful in finding some reliable sources of Agasthiar Fingerprint Astrology. https://www.quora.com/What-do-you-think-of-Nadi-Jothidam-astrology-based-on-age-old-manuscripts-written-by-sages-like-Agasthiyar-Is-it-genuine-or-does-it-involve-some-guess-work
  7. Which books sit on your nightstand?

    Tripura Rahasya : The Mystery beyond the Trinity
  8. Can qigong be practiced by someone whose internal organ, e.g., gall bladder, or spleen, has been removed?
  9. Power centers/vortices

    Towards the end of 2020, Sadhguru had travelled across several energy centers in the USA. The daily vlogs uploaded during that time had some details. Those videos have been removed and replaced by a shorter version.
  10. Qigong without internal organs?

    Thank you @Taomeow
  11. The End Of Sushumna

    The concentration is on the full length of inhalation and exhalation and not the physical structure of the nose. https://www.lakshmanjooacademy.org/kashmir-shaivism/practice/ The first few meditations of Vijnana Bhairava Tantra deal with the details of the breath (the first being anapana)
  12. The End Of Sushumna

    or perhaps? Anapana instruction: https://www.vridhamma.org/What-is-Anapana https://www.vridhamma.org/sites/default/files/node-uploads/2. MIni_Anapana_english_10_minute_GourpSitting.mp3
  13. Order is freedom

    Order reminds me of a teacher who was deeply into home organization following the principles of Marie Kondo. The more everything was set to order. the more the mind became constrained and unaccepting of the outside world (maybe not all cases).
  14. Is there a special significance for nine/ ten days? Navarathri seems to be the female counterpart, similar with nine days of fasting ending on the tenth day. The process seems to start with Ganesh Chaturthi, (opening of the root chakra perhaps?) leading to the nine days of fasting and ending with Diwali or something similar. Is someone's enlightenment day associated with these set of events and dates in Indian history?
  15. Heart and breath stopping

    Experiments on Swami Rama by the Menninger foundation (Links to a PDF)
  16. Indian acupuncturists who usually have a diploma or certification don't seem to have a comprehensive understanding of the system. Would prefer a TCM doctor instead. The TCM acupuncturist I have gone to, fixes the issues of most of his patients with 2 or 3 sessions.

  18. Maybe something like gibberish meditation might help release pent up stuff Osho's dynamic meditation also is a easy way to release stored patterns, maybe start with 5 mins for each stage.
  19. It is best to consult a doc for a better diagnosis wrt your inability to eat. (Recent experience of a family member) Perhaps lemonade with a pinch of salt might help with nausea.
  20. Ping Shuai Qigong

    .
  21. Have read that Babaji was trained under three Tamil Siddhars, who were masters of alchemy, linguistics, mantra, yoga etc. which might be the reason for the Daoist similarities. The Kriya techniques through Sri Yogiraj lineage were perhaps designed for this particular period of time for a particular set of practitioners.
  22. Focus

    @freeform Can you please add more details on this: Something seems to have changed in the past few months and it seems a razor sharp mental focus has disappeared. Would like to know if there are methods to work on that? What actually is focus?
  23. Your opinion about reiki?

    Does the healer have a past life connection to those they heal?
  24. The TM rabbit hole

    Yes, just listening to the chants on youtube helps tune in to the the vibration, esp. with my experience with Om Mani Padme Hum and some Hindu ancient chants. Some chants are very powerful that they are best avoided listening to continuously if you are already into some practice. On most of the points mentioned, I disagree with Maharishi. Around two decades back was initiated into TM, around the same time was into Om, Aum and Im (as in him) chanting as well. Always felt TM had a pleasant experience, maybe an introduction to meditation. If the the physical and energetic bodies are well prepared the benefits maybe enhanced; but I would not recommend it for a lifetime of practice.
  25. The TM rabbit hole

    What would be the difference between chanting Om and the mantra initiated for TM meditation? Wouldn't Om be a better choice with no fees attached to it?
