  5. Karma IS real after all . ( or is it ? )

    I know far too many really good people who just always get dumped on and abused. So, my experience doesn't jibe with do good things and you'll be rewarded for it. Also, I don't believe in reincarnation. So there's that, too. But cause/effect, action/reaction is a no-brainer. Add a time element and many levels of subtlety and that's karma for me.
  6. How do we know what's yin and what's yang . Really.

  9. Translator sought: Ba Fan Huan Gong poems

    Thank you again :-) Do you see the name "Emporer Ba" in the text? The figure is called Ba Wang Ju Ding in pinyin. Here it is:
  10. Translator sought: Ba Fan Huan Gong poems

    Wow, thank you for the offer :-) It is probably the same set of instructions that I have in German. I assume prof Cong had it at the time. He was last here in 2010,probably for the last time. I'd be most interested in the poems that I posted, especially the numbers I pointed out, but eternally thankful for any feedback at all :-)

    Perhaps it's a recipe for egg salad?

  14. Qi Loss Through the Feet and How To Stop It?

    true, dat But they're ubiquitous in the qigong world and that sux.
  15. Spring Forest Qigong is nice free download

    Direkt link? btw, this is nice: Before you learn to sit, you need to learn to stand.
  16. Translator sought: Ba Fan Huan Gong poems

    xie xie The German translation that I have says basically the same thing, but explicitly states that the qi flows trhough the three dantian and out the crown. Are the dantian depicted explicitly in the Chinese? I was thinking about it and would really like to see what you make of the 3rd, 5th, 6th and 8th, if you (or anyone else) get a chance and enjoy doing it :-)
  17. How do we know what's yin and what's yang . Really.

    where're the yin and yang in this image: I don't mean the pixels on your screen, I mean the real tree, growing on and in the real Earth, under the real sky, with sun and shade, seen and unseen elements, with distance, height, and width, with changing reality every moment, growth... where are yin and the yang in the landscape?
  18. Bad energy accumulating around my living space

    you're vegetating in a hole and wondering why you feel bad energy? Get thee out of the house. Turn off the damn computer. And if you have a window, open it. Feng Shui 101.
  19. Qi Loss Through the Feet and How To Stop It?

    thes do a comparably good job (of weakening the feet separating the wearer from the Earth), and cost less than half the price:
