fyi - I've now attended two extended workshops with Lam and have been priveleged to watch him perform his martial arts once (apparently a privilege that very few people have enjoyed, so I feel quite honored in that respect). He's a master of them all, including Bagua. So, please dispell the impression that he does nothing but standing practices. However, he'd tell you that the static practice is the root of the dynamic arts. And if he had to sacrifice one for the other, there's no question which one he'd retain. He basically said as much. The most advanced two-legged posture I've experienced with him is the yiquan dragon stance, not something you should do without instruction, because you won't do it right:

Oozing sarcasm out of every pore in your skin is in fact a poor tactic if you're trying to convince anyone of your integrity.

There was a travel report on tv here a few weeks ago that focussed on the gnomes and their homes throughout Iceland. That was a good watch!

Perhaps pay closer attention to and cherish more the aural perceptions. Hearing is generally a more profound sense than vision.

@corpus - thank you for sharing your experiences, you're quite possibly the first to pique my curiosity about the book. I'm glad you found something useful in it. The breathe work you describe isn't anything exotic or esoteric, and certainly not limited to any one school. How are you planning to advance along the path?
