Check the dates on this thread GMP ;-) But a good link nonetheless!

Hi - is that xu mingtan?

I was at a weekend workshop with Sifu Lam Kam Chuen and just searched for an image of dragon stance, this was the first hit at google, haha. Awesome workshop, awe-inspiring man! We did a little bit of push hands exercise and while we were circling our hands in front of us to warm up, and was was talking about this and that, he mentioned to always circle 80% inward and only 20% outward. I asked, 'why?', and he just laughed and said 'western questions'...But after a couple minutes, he looked at me and coyly said quietly, 'Because you want to win. That's why Taiji always loses'.

Is that a house in Germany? That kind of thing used to be (and not long ago) completely unthinkable here. But, alas, times are changing quickly!

in and of itself, nothing; it's great stuff. But it's availability is pretty limited and lower-priced commercial products today can be heavily processed and full of chemicals - formaldehyde, heavy metals, dyes, flame-retardents, fuming adhesives, etc. It's because they use cork from a bunch of different sources and then process it to make it uniform. There are various industry certifications out there, though. Just be sure to look carefully into the product before buying. Same is true for wood-flooring, by the way. It's not so easy to avoid the chemical shitstorm these days.

undyed and unbleached wool carpet would be a reasonably-priced and comfortable option. That's what we have. The backing is wool, too. There's no synthetic material in it at all. Believe it or not, real Linoleum is a good, mostly natural product (it's chiefly made from Linseed oil and organic filler material) , and very warm and comfortable, and lasts centuries. It's not cheap, though. I like it Avoid cork like the plague, unless it's 100% organic certified.

When you write 'practices', what exactly do you mean? Standing still (Zhan Zhuang) with open arms and the palms directed toward the groin for extended periods of time, usually has a pretty profound effect on the libido. But it seems to have failed you, unless that isn't what you're talking about? But, the right partner is probably the most important factor, no? And breaking through blockages?

I've done a number of these, including this one, numerous times, and always come up with 85-90% right. However, there's a pretty convincing article out there (was linked from someone at Facebook, I don't have it handy atm) that basically says the whole theory vis a vis brain activity is bullshit. Creative v logical well and good, but it comes from a lot more than brain compartmentalization. Oh, haha, I should have read the thread more carefully; I would have seen that my "contribution" had already been covered.

3deedit - why are those three words green and underlined? Are you asking for feedback? #11 is one of the champion verses for me, too. The German translator Günter Debon renders the first phrase thusly: Der Speichen dreimal zehn Auf einer Nabe stehn Eben dort, wo sie nicht sind Ist des Wagens Brauchbarkeit I translate that something along these lines: Spokes, three times ten Around a hub are fastened Exactly there, where they are not Is the wagon's useful spot The 'stehn' at the end of line two in the German basically means 'are' or 'exist'. My 'fastened' isn't the most accurate word, neither is the 'useful spot', but they work poetically and I like poetry :-) IIRC, Debon put effort into rhyming his translation wherever the original does the same. It's relatively easy to do in German, and more of a challenge in English. How does this render in Belgian?

The first video ya mu posted is blocked here in Germany due to licensing issues. Bizarre...

I was going to state simply that of belief and knowledge, faith trumps them both. Faith in what, you may ask...

Look into the two clocks theory

There's a very broad range of possibilities in identifying "worthy" people. Copy-cat killers come to mind as an extreme example

I see it as a signal that there are Qi blockages popping and circuits being fused.

I was going for the exalted one. But I'd best qualify my prior post by pointing out that it's just a feeling. I have no solid evidence. How could I?

Sock puppet

They never do. Women, I mean.

Monsanto is busy in Uruguay right now, GMO-ing the hell out of cannabis right now, creating a strain unique enough to patent. Once they're done, watch how quickly the government comes around on the laws. But of course only certified strains will be legalized for sale from certified producers. The reason western medicine fights herbal cures and medicines is because you can't patent an herb and therefore can't reap huge profits from them. But gmo change the game. Expect a lot of wonder hrtbal medicines in the coming years, but with corporate control.

Yeah the key fob is a receiver for the signal that the car constantly emits, so you're just increasing the size of the antenna. I don't think it's risky. Also, hold the key under your chin.

I've experimented with this - it's legit, surprised me how much higher the range is!

came back to watch again and this was in the sidebar: Piguaquan Foundation 1 - Master WangZhiHai:

don't Muslims view Satan as a big bloated beached whale or something similar. His main attributes being vanity and lethargy... The great white Satan = western society.

Hear the Devil himself sing and make a deal for some ... well, just watch and listen:
