on-going thread for this issue:
-
Just logged in: super zippy. - notifications: fast. .. betting it was fixed toot suite
-
is it just me, or is the site slowing down again? (Unsure if it's my Internet connection that sometimes fluctuates in speed)
-
My observational is that the excavation of the layers of the abdomen, opening tissues and channels, activating acupoints and alchemy ... is both really foundational + typically overlooked in the western-popularized-Daoist movement ... in past decades. There's been a lot of improvement. Anyway, a deep topic and I don't have any single solution ... my main point is that you are in vital worthwhile territory .. that sometimes is a long term project. Keep a lookout for methods in this topic area, in many of the internal arts. cheers, Keith a couple of threads that cruise around this territory:

Ren acupoints, Daoist Breathing, and Belly-Dancing
Trunk replied to Trunk's topic in Daoist Discussion
The two gentler layers (above), so simple and short. If I do 2-3 breaths at each Ren acupt that I choose, I can easily activate a sampling of acupts along the abdomen. This is easy enough to do any time. (the #3 vertebral joint opening much more rarely, and only before bed) I find that all of my more traditional abdominal practices, as well as standing & practices in general, have benefited. -

Reports of good speed, functionality lately ... same for everyone? Holding steady?
-
Just now, at least, the site did everything quickly. My observation is that there has been improvement, but occasional snag at this/that feature (hoping all resolved?) ... How are the rest of you experiencing TDBs site performance, now and very recently? - Trunk

We've been having some technical difficulties. Apologies for the bother, Thanks for your patience, Trunk

Ren acupoints, Daoist Breathing, and Belly-Dancing
Trunk replied to Trunk's topic in Daoist Discussion
Hopefully this is my last post on this, get it off my mind ... REN, exploring some ideas ... 1. I'm cautious about "flowing" energy through channels. Yeah, I do it some, but also cautious ... do I know which direction? it really goes?, or should go? Often, "nope". Specifically regarding ren, some Ch.medical texts say that there's a branch of ren that goes up. (My experience is that there's flow - at least in the vicinity of ren - that goes up and down) 2. I do like activating points, deepening the alchemy that happens at a point ... and then the energy goes where ever it goes from there. 3. I do find connecting to the center to be reliably refining. 4. The "ming lines", and the general integration of front ~ back I find to be progressive. Not merely the loop-d'-loop of the orbit. Consider in regards to the above.
