You can't undo the past, if indeed anything happened in the past to be undone, but you can work toward the realization that your life begins afresh with every breath. For therapy, I'd go to someone with a lot of experience and success in the 'family constellation' method. I think that's what it's called in English but I can look into more later. here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bert_Hellinger I've participated in many, many of these sessions, as 'actor' or 'placeholder' and as the one with the issues to be addressed. If you look at the page, don't be put off by the 'controversies', they aren't as controversial as the English-language wiki page makes them seem. Some more info in English: http://www.goodtherapy.org/family_constellations.html

Looks like London's burning! Glad I live by the river

Meditation leading to increased blood pressure
soaring crane replied to OnARoad's topic in Daoist Discussion
Interesting old thank, thanks for resuscitating it :-) My experience, gentle qigong movements in standing posture, wuji, generally drop BP without much complication. But the downward focus has to go deeper than the belly. Has to travel down the legs and out the feet into the ground below. I find people generally have trouble connecting to their bodies below waist level and are generally top heavy and hand/arm-centric. That equals high BP. -
It's a very complicated subject. I have 5 or 6 books and the only one I can recommend for learning the basics, but also quite a bit on deeper levels, is actually an appendix in a Feng Shui book (the two are intimately entwined, so it really only makes sense to learn both). Search 'The Complete Idiot's Guide to Feng Shui'. I think it's out of print but always available at Amazon cheap used. The same authors also wrote what for me was the most important Yijing / I Ching book, in the same series.

Hello Home Team :-) (originally from Brooklyn)

I think Gerard's images were only meant to illustrate astrological situation, not the astronomical ;-) And they do a good job of it! :-)

I don't think that was an opinion...

It's really speaking to me. What it's saying I'm not exactly sure, but it's communicating. I don't think I'd hang it over my bed.

nope. Nowhere that I can see.

Music for Meditation/Relaxation/Contemplation

http://open.spotify.com/album/25tizCCwyJKc5XycBoA2F8 Spotify link to my favorite qigong music, from büdi siebert - give it a spin :-) -
hmmm... you guys are making me curious. I do have contacts in Chicago who travel to Germany regularly and are happy to bring stuff with them. Think I'll order the DVD after all

Yeast in itself is ok. But yeast extract is industry-speak for MSG. And your initial sensations could simply be a reaction to glutamate. But probably not, given the further details of your experiences.

Did a meditation with a group this evening that may tie in with this thread and these sensations. We located Niwan (where the Baihui and Tianmu ie crown chakra and third eye, meet in the center of the brain). We held the tongue on the palate (as usual) but let it grow very soft and wide, and energetically pushed it up through the palate into the head, into Niwan. So, lines from Baihui and Tianmu together with the big fat, moist tongue, intersected in the center of the brain. And all kinds of energetic 'stuff' started streaming down the tongue, through the throat, down, down, down, out the pelvis, the legs, the soles of the feet .... It would take a long time to describe the details, but this relieved pressure in the head region, to say the least

Arcing Spheres of Light - Visual Phenomenon
soaring crane replied to NotVoid's topic in General Discussion
I understand, but it's still something completely physical and earth-bound, not of any ethereal plane or anything. I use to believe otherwise ... -
Arcing Spheres of Light - Visual Phenomenon
soaring crane replied to NotVoid's topic in General Discussion
I've been told that they're angels. I've also been told that they're portals to other dimensions. Some people just call them the generic 'sparks of energy'. They are, however a natural result of staring at a bright surface. -
Are there any flavor enhancers in those beans? Yeast extract?

oh nooooooo! haha

What did you eat?

When dolphins are swept up accidentally, they kill them and sell them (IIRC). Regardless... The poor sharks on the other hand... Reason enough for me to have stopped buying tuna. Eat eggs. Lots of good organic eggs :-)

I'd agree more if it were focused on system instead of form. It might be a bit too dogmatic and defensive. Is he trying to benefit millions of people, or... protect his system and cast dispersion? It's just a question. There are good points in there but I seem to be picking up an agenda in the undercurrent.

I have the book, by the way, after someone who shall remain nameless sent me the pdf (thank you very much) and I bought the Kindle version. I don't do Taiji, and haven't read the book in detail, but I have picked out a large number of thought-nuggets and just small bits of information that have worked their way into my own practice.

okie dokie! :-)

I clicked and scrolled down and so only had audio at first. I thought would be a Beavis and Butthead episode... Channelling Bungholio...
