So does he charge $500 for the 1 hour session or not? How much did you pay for yours and do we get the same price? What you are talking about (getting worked on by him) is not what he is charging only $20 or $30 for am I correct?

Could someone please define what is meant by the "positive principle"?

Just wondering for those who are practicing how long does this practice generally take. I might get the dvd but don't want to add anything that will take too long.

OK so how do we break down this barrier and is it worth investing a lot of time and effort to see flyers, assuming they exist? Also would breaking down the barrier allow us proper perception but still not protect us?

Hi Shen you did not say which dvd's and whether it was sitting or standing you are practicing right now and which exercises on the dvd's you are practicing. It sounds like the warm ups for Vol 2 by your description. I bought this one and am still on it and will soon get the standing vol 1. Just curious as to what exactly you are practicing and talking about- Bill.

I thought this was a gimmick at first but then saw some videos on Youtube and was quite impressed. Just wandering if you have purchased it. The good thing is that although it is expensive they say you have 90 days to try it risk free and can return it for a full refund.

Unfortunately I live in the Boston area and it is illegal to purchase raw milk from a store or share. You are only allowed to drive to a farm and buy it directly but I don't own a car. We have a lot of farmers markets but it is illegal for them to sell raw milk to people. Does anyone know if you can have it shipped? I am especially interested in raw goats milk to make homemade kefir and yogurt.

Hi Sifu Terry, when practicing today I felt an intense pulsing in my third eye area and this is the 3rd time this has happend while practicing volume 2. I have a chronic kidney disease and was wondering if any of the exercises you mentioned above specifically help the kidneys. I plan to practice in order but will spend more time on an exercise if it addresses the kidneys. I also was wondering if the book is coming out any time soon-billb.

I do not know for sure with these herbs but when I get a prescription it is 45 minutes to an hour, I would try 45 minutes and put in 3 pints of water and then it boils down to 2 pints. You then drink 1 pint in morning and 1 in the evening and save the herbs and reboil again the next day same way. It will not be as potent the 2nd day but I read it affects the chi more while the first day affects the jing more.

I have the Michael Wynn vhs tape can I just practice the form faster and save $50 or should I go buy the DVD for the faster form? Also, is it available in DVD or is it only downloadable now?

I ordered them from this site about 6 weeks ago and had no problem. The DVDs are also available on amazon for the same price so you can order from amazon as well.

Hi Jonah just curious does this mean you complete the practice more quickly or do you practice the form at a faster pace for the same amount of time?

The traditional method is the clay pot, for hundreds of years people did not have these expensive double boilers but they look like a possible upgrade, most herbal shops sell the clay pots in chinatown not the double boilers and you can purchase a clay pot for $6 here in Boston. You can get one shipped possibly also but they crack and break in transport quite easily. Try and take the herbs to a practitioner as the ratio is very important for the herbs. Best to get a pulse diagnosis and the ratios and herbs change, sometimes only slightly, on a month to month basis as the body responds to the previous prescription.

Hi Sifu Terry, I bought the volume 2 dvd a few weeks back and really love this practice and have a few questions. I have a lot of trouble remaining in half lotus for a long period of time and would like to know if it is ok to practice sitting on a chair. What I may do is once half lotus and once sitting in a chair as I extend to doing the practice twice a day soon if this is ok. I was also thinking of sharing the practice with my mom and I know half lotus is out of the question for her. It seems like my left foot keeps falling asleep. I am currently practicing the first 3 and then number 6 on volume 2 early in the day and would like to know if I practice 14 repititions of number 6 should I do the breathing sequence twice or just one time like I am currently doing? Thanks for sharing this practice as I was searching for a good Medical Qi Gong system and look forward to adding the volume 1 standing dvd soon-Bill.

Just wondering what people think about this. It seems rentention can possibly be dangerous according to some and the people who are teachers on this site seem to feel it is not even necessary. Out of all the members on this site I would also bet the percentage of those who practice it (100 days) are less than 1 percent of taobums and it does not seem like this will get larger as it is insanely difficult so I was just wondering what people think or have been taught about conservation, as this seems to be a more reasonable approach or do some believe even conservation is not necessary? Just wondering because it seems the retention threads take such an all or nothing approach and discuss it from this standpoint. I have not defined conservation specifically as some may consider it twice a week, weekly, bi-monthly or monthly so feel free to define it yourself when discussing it.

I went to Muktananda's asram in the Boston area in the 80's and was quite surprised to see 3 catholic nuns there for Gurumayai's birthday, I would venture to say that some catholic nuns even went for shaktipat, so compared to some other church's they are a bit more open minded.

Never heard of him blessing bombs, have any facts to back this up? I don't care much for the current pope but it was the vatican that did not agree with the movies message, and actually said the visuals were very good, it was not a completely bad review at all, sounded like a newspaper critic's review to be honest. I am sure a lot of people do not completely agree with the movies message and still had a good time seeing it, like a friend of mine who still suggest I see it. I am looking forward to seeing it.

just wondering who is the author of this manual and what is it about this practice that makes it antichrist?

no I am not sure at all, how much were the ones you saw? no I am not sure at all, how much were the ones you saw?

I have the SFQ course and I am looking forward to the 2 week break, don't worry SFQ will be just fine. The Kap discussions are mostly limited to one thread, recently being ruined by haters that do not practice KAP. I look forward to the moderaters doing something about the insult policy reminder on that thread someday so I can learn more about KAP.

I am not sure but for I think it may have been around 70 bucks for a packet about the size of a pack of cigs. They also sell a cheap powdered capsuled version for around 6 and it lasts about a week or so. I took it a couple of times and felt nothing but not the expensive stuff. If you are looking for energy and stamina goji berries or goji tea was far more effective for me and they can substitute as a meal as well. They sell for about 5 dollars for 12 ounces and then I make a tea. Make sure you make the tea if they are not at least AA quality. I also order the organic ones and eat them and found a source that has them for 9 a pound but ran out. My next thing to try is very good quality deer antler but I am not sure where to get some that someone can vouch for and it is very costly. May go to C-town this weekend and let you know.

You can get the real worm-like stuff here in Boston in Chinatown and I am sure most other Chinatowns, but yes it is very expensive. The high rating is not for the product but for the sellers customer service and shipping time. I would contact him and ask more about the quality.

I think it is a 2 week supply but you have to also pay $8 for shipping up to $30 order so I think the best deal would be to get 4 bottles and pay $38 for a 2 months supply. The price is about the same as in chinatown minus the shipping.

I have seen some cleansing posts with zappers for blood and intestinal cleanses with herbs, psyllium and oxy-powder. It does not seem as if any of these get rid of immune circulating complexes which are very small proteins in the blood. These complexes are a source of autoimmune problems and inflammation. There is a product called Neprinol which is a very strong proteolytic enzyme which will cleanse the blood of these complexes after about 90 days of use along with a few similar products. Just wondering if anyone has cleansed their blood with any of these products as I have a chronic autoimmune kidney diseas and I think this may help but it is expensive. The zappers work on parasites not these complexes.
