Anybody doing the Be Breathed video of Sonnon's? Good stuff? What have you noticed since you started it? http://www.rmax.tv/bebreathed.html Thanks, turbo

Howdy Ya'll I dont frequently post but I do try to read most of what is posted. Anyways, I was reading a link somone posted to a yoga webiste about various postures. I sit on a coushin on the floor everyday for two hours and meditate (www.dhamma.org). When I began meditation and qigong my instructor (http://www.shengzhen.org/) said to keep the left (yang) leg on top of the right (I use the 1/2 lotus posture). So, the yoga website said to switch wich leg is on top b/c it will pull your hips outta alignment if you dont. Guess what, its helped realign my whole posture!! Great stuff. Its all about balance. Now the left leg is on top in the morning and the right in the evening. Perhaps you may find this useful. Cheers, Turbo

I'm just the opposite, I couldn't listen to their last one all the way through without having to stop listening or getting a headache. Except for a couple of weak spots this album is a masterpiece, intricate, heavy, and loud.

I had BKF's "Longevity Breathing" DVD for some time. The practice contained on that DVD is the best breathing practice and in the top 5 meditative techniques I have encountered. Highly recommended. I need to purchase it again. The practice of this method yields a calm state from which any other practice/meditation can flow. It is a wholly different product from his two CD product. Get the DVD.

The best thing for kidneys that I've found is the kidney tonic tea that the China Health Center in Austin, TX sells. It is powerful stuff. Check it out. They have a pill for and a tea form, I've only used the tea. http://www.austinchc.com/

check out Goenka's Vipassana Meditation Centers. I think you are required to have some time between classes, but they are generally pretty cool and will let you stick around for an unlimited time, if you're willing to work around the center. No ritual, just hours and hours of deep meditation every day. Good luck.

here: x = y-(0.38196601*(y-(0.61803399*y))) x= y-(.381*(y-.618y)) -->subtract (1-.618) x= y-(.381*(.381y)) --> multiply .38196601 * .38196601 = .145898032 x= y-.145y --> subtract 1-.145 = .85410196 x= .845y y=x/.85410196 substitute values for x to solve for y.

YWyCCJ6B2WE ....Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain... geez man you sound like your brainwashed already. many spiritual aspirants, particularly Buddhists trace their spiritual lineage as far back as written history will allow, this includes tracing it from Buddha down and from their teachers up. shouldn't a legitimate path hold up under the light? what has anyone got to be afraid of?

Get a business degree. In all likely hood you will have to start you own office and it will be essential that you understand how to run your business properly. If you plan on being successful you need to have a business that will provide for itself and for you. You will be able to provide higher level of service at your office when you are able to live more comfortably when you are away from your office. Minor in communications so that you can learn to sell yourself and your service to others. You will need repeat business, the best way to do that is to communicate that you care about and want to help your clients. They need to know that, once they do and once you back that up with results they will send their friends and loved ones to you. You can pick up all the other stuff along the way. Good luck and don't believe the hype, its a hard way to make a living doing accupuncture until you get a solid client base and that can take years of hard work and low pay (in addition to the schooling).

Cheers gentlemen! Enjoy your b-days.

While its interesting to listen to this...it could all be complete b.s. the narrator sits there and spews facts without any sources. Anybody look up that IRS document he talks about? Its over 600 pages, he could have the courtesy to give us a section or even page number. He is taking some truth, some theory, and a lot of unsubstantiated thinking and rolling it into a film for the uncritical thinker. If he really had something to say he could get to the point, cite his references and not spend 2 hours wasting our time. While the narrator is a skilled rhetorician, his logic seems faulty. I'll post another comment or edit this one when I finish it.

to improve your vision and eyes in general check out this book. i was told that it is the best by a holistic eye healer. http://www.amazon.com/Days-Reading-Without...g/dp/0806520590

I ordered a book on the RAVE diet, which was recommended in the Biology of Kundalini book posted here last week or so. Anyhow RAVE stands for no Refined foods, no Animal animal foods, no Vegetable oil, and No Exceptions. Pretty strict diet. The book comes with a DVD that makes quite a convincing case for the diet, the first half is health focused and the second half is focused on the animals. I know there has been some discussion of diets here, and am wondering what are the dangers of such a diet plus a supplement to cover the lack of B-12 and iron. It seems like the ideal diet for longevity and spiritual progress from what I've been able to discern so far. Thanks, Turbo

Exactly. Fuck proof. Fuck it all to hell. Go with what makes you happy.

one heel was just an idea to see how it works for you, i have no idea what to expect, except that you got what you expected the path is a subjective experience, and should be respected as such. i hope that everyone has as much success with their path as they put into it and if you get more than that then hallelujah, you have found the path that works for you. there is almost no absolute truth. experience is the ultimate teacher. do what makes you happy and fuck everyone else. if you tried kunlun with one heel then you are still on the search for something that you will not find, ie: proof. its all subjective. develop your own gongfu and leave everyone else to their own (subjective) happiness.

have you tried it with only one heel up?

It is easy to quote aphorisms and point fingers. Experience is subjective. Appreciate others experience as your own and may be able to understand where others come from. Kunlun is great, if you believe the same then go with it. I wish you the best. In the end I believe that devotion is the key. Devotion to an ideal, a practice, a system, a God, a saint, a savior. That is the key. Surrender. That is one of the keys to progress in kunlun. Surrender/acceptance...make it your gongfu. Much more difficult to digest than cotton candy.

Those who wish to be Must put aside the alienation, Get on with the fascination, The real relation, The underlying theme -Rush Get off the sideline get into the practice. Its easy to criticize and snipe from the outside, but to devote yourself to the practice is what is required. True gong fu. Bhakti yoga. Therein lies your answer. Don't give up your insecurity or your questions, but go with your heart, your feeling. When you doubt your practice stick with it for a while, don't give it up. When you are confident your practice is right stick with it a while and see how long you feel that way. My experience is that practice is like life, you never know if your are on the right path until you have taken a few steps, and those can be some damn frightening steps to take and the ones ahead are not much clearer than the ones behind were. Make your practice your life and stick with it for as long as you live, become your practice and let your practice become your life. (Get on with the fascination) I've tried kunlun, seminar and all, and have chosen to pursue a different path. Its all good. Kunlun may be different (perhaps even "better"), but the ideal practice the one that best becomes part of your life, part of your identity, not the one that is flawless or the one that seems perfect from the outside (cult anyone?). In the end it is purely subjective, only your own experience can dictate what is acceptable for you. Let not your intellect (or wikipedia) reign, but let your heart guide your way. Another Rush lyric: A planet of play things We dance on the strings Of powers we cannot perceive 'The stars aren't aligned Or the gods are malign...' Blame is better to give than receive Its easy to point the finger...

I've been the most successful with retention when I had something to distract me from thoughts of sex. Staying away from porn is key number one. Having something to do besides surf the internet is important. Try learning a musical instrument, practice an hour or more a day, pour yourself into it. Start going for long walks. Learn to paint. Get out of the house, get out of your head, and use your energy in some productive way. I've found that if I don't find a good outlet for my increased energy then it will find one of its own in the form of ejaculation, anger, nocturnal emissions, etc.

Jack, you claim that the sound is part of our DNA. How so? Does making the sound affect our DNA? If it is part of our DNA could anyone have discovered this, and if not then why you?

The Phoenix Kunlun seminar has been confirmed for November 17-18. Here is the map from the airport to the seminar location. I think it is a good idea for us to plan to meet each other so we can share rides and hotel rooms if necessary. So, lets keep each other informed of our plans and ideas here. Cheers! Edit: Map now fixed. Thanks Yoda.

I was getting that pain too, but since the seminar the movement/energy takes over more of my body, so my shoulder does not bother much anymore. As far as being freaked out goes, I thought several times about not going to the seminar, because I can't afford to have a month long episode of weirdness, but things went fine and I seem (at least to myself) perfectly sane.
