Ya Mu

I love Carlos Nakai's music - probably my favorite.

I do Southern Gentleman Farming.

I am in my 50's and I played in a metal band all last year until February of this year but taking a break right now. I don't like to listen to the stuff but it is quite fun to play (weird huh?). Usually when I listen to music it is native flute music. It is chaotic but the key to staying in harmony is to kind of ride it like a wave, kinda like a surfer.

I have seen both sides of this issue as well. The thing is ignorance is ignorance no matter what side of the issue you are on. I can see the western medical physician's side. Just saw a client who was prescribed something that was indeed helping him but some "all things natural" therapist told him to quit taking his med, that he didn't need it. He listened to them, quit taking his meds and wound up in the hospital. But I have had my share of downright insanity in the western med aspect. I will describe one of them. Took my father to hospital as he was having a seizure. I actually stopped the seizure with med qigong before we got there but family pressure dictated that he be checked out. He was a paraplegic and had the medical situations associated with that. So we were waiting in the emergency room and he had a prolapsed rectum. I asked one of the nurses to take care of it as it was very uncomfortable. The nurse looked at it and freaked out; said a doctor would have to look at it. Of course this pissed me off but I waited for the doctor. So a young doc came in and looked at it and said that they couldn't do anything, a surgeon would have to see it. Already frustrated, I just said something to the effect that all the ignorant and incompetent folks in here could just get out of my way. I reached up and got some gloves and quickly took care of it while the doctor and nurse were staring at me. So the ignorance and incompetence is shared by all sides.

Yes, if a person does nothing to protect themselves, works on too many people, or doesn't practice cultivation it can lead to death. A qigong practice that displaces any sick qi absorbed is worth its weight in gold. One still has to be very careful. I say no one should do healing unless they feel called to do it. If anyone feels called, then they should educate themselves. Playing around is a bad thing to do. It continually amazes me that something as complicated as medical qigong - in it's own way as complicated as brain surgery - is played around with where the same person doing said playing would be horrified if someone suggested they play around with brain surgery.

My take on this is that it all has to do with raising the energy body vibrational rate. Most practitioners (who haven't cultivated) of methods that "just channel universal qi" get mild results. Practitioners who have cultivated can get much deeper results. What the practitioners of the "just channel universal" qi don't realize is that they DO use their own energy as well. One way of looking at this is to use the analogy of the power line coming into the transformer. Could we hook up our lights, air conditioning, refrigerator, etc to that line? What would happen if we did? It is, of course, not in a format that is compatible with what we are trying to do (run lights, etc). So, when we want to do a healing we DO use our own energy (help put energy into a format compatible with what the task demands) AND that of the universe (and the actual vibrations we are capable of tapping into depend on the practice and how much we have raised our energy body vibration rate. Most practitioners of the "just channel universal qi" methods do not understand sick qi. I have worked on many of these folks who became ill because of the work they were doing. Energy healing is not something to play at.

I just don't agree with the TCM tie-in you posted. But what the heck, whatever works for you. About this flush. IMO it is way too harsh. What I prefer is naturopathic evidence based botanical formulas. My favorite is a product called super milk thistle x by Integrative Therapeutics. It consists of milk thistle, artichoke, dandelion, and licorice.

green = bile

LOL _ not prone to seeing elvis Sometimes it is difficult for me to know which dimension I am seeing as it all seems normal to me, but I am pretty sure what I am seeing is in (or coming into) this dimension. Look at lower left formation - 3 faces, two of which are obvious one not so obvious.

Gonna assume that it is not photoshoped. Does anyone else see the faces?

Has this been posted before? I don't have great results with the search engine on this board so if it has never mind. Takes about 2 hrs to wade through but divided into 13 videos. Lucas video Here is full text presentation. Earth changes - ancient writings - government behavior - brown dwarf (planet x) material Lots of interesting facts where the presenter attempted to not give personal opinion. Bet he staid up late a whole lot to put this together.

The Stillness-Movement practice in inherently spiritual. It is called High Level Qigong not because of how it compares to other qigong's but because of what it is. The energies we attune to are creative heavenly energies. What happens is the student is "attuned" to these energetics by the teacher through energy projection. The teacher first creates a dan tian in/for each student, then does the information based energy projection. As the student practices seers see a white light build in dan tian getting denser as the person practices. The Light then rises up through inside of body opening each energy center in a natural non-traumatic manner. Then the Light goes through the top of the head and connects the person solidly with the High Level energies. A product of this is that any particular talents (soul level) that a person may have will be awakened in this process. This process raises the vibrational rate of the energy body so that "attunement" to the High Level connection remains strong. Then the practitioner is able to manifest using the "as above so below" natural law of energetics, which is how we do our healing. A product of this practice is that it awakens a person to who they really are as a vibrant Being of Light. The very essence of the practice is spirituality. I have had several inquiries from England and recently someone who said they would investigate possibilities of sponsoring a workshop there. All it would take is enough people and a place to have the workshop.

Disclaimer - I am not a bagua teacher or practitioner. But I will share with you a couple of things that may apply. First, I won't say you will get no benefit from a DVD; after all, I sell a DVD on qigong movements. What I find is folks who learn from the DVD say things like - Wow, I feel the energy SO much with these moves. So they do them for a year and then decide to take my workshop. Then, after the workshop it's like Now these moves are on a lot higher a level, I feel the qi much stronger! So, what has happened? Is it that they were not doing the moves "right" from the DVD? I decided to learn Hsing I. The first 5 moves - if you look at them on a dvd, your mind may say, Oh I can learn those in a couple of weeks and have them down pat in a couple of months. If you did it this way would you get no benefit? Well, I practiced these with my teacher until I had them down - I thought - in about 3 months. But teacher would say No you are NOT doing Hsing I. It took 3 years before I was actually doing Hsing I with these moves. So, did I get benefit from the first moves when I was replicating the move but was not doing Hsing I? Yes. There is an entire different oral, shown, and energetic tradition that only face-to-face can accomplish. The written (and now video) tradition can only show a part of the whole. This same concept applies to qigong as well as MA. A person cannot understand this aspect until they have personal experience with it. The energy transmission can be very powerful and fully life-changing.

History of Medicine 2000 B.C. - Here, eat this root. 1000 A.D. - That root is heathen. Here, say this prayer. 1850 A.D. - That prayer is superstition. Here, drink this potion. 1940 A.D. - That potion is snake oil. Here, swallow this pill. 1985 A.D. - That pill is ineffective. Here, take this antibiotic. 2000 A.D. - That antibiotic is artificial and ineffective. Here, eat this root. 2010 A.D. - That herb is contaminated; grown with pesticides and the soil is depleted, Here, practice qigong. I continue to utilize herbs, but the long-term outlook is not good unless humanity changes. The soil is depleted, not providing proper nutrients. Pesticides are used. Ground water contamination. You really have to watch and make sure your sources are testing raw product - unless you grow yourself, then you should use natural fertilizer methods and insure non-contamination of water supply.

LOL. I have said over and over again that I do not recommend this route. Although the statistics for being hit is staggering. Pay attention to your weather and surroundings!

As SM replied , in Med Qigong the needles are made of Light. We have 3 different ways of doing "qigong-style acupuncture." So reg needles are not necessary. Yes, I do think what you say is true. Also, IMO machines can never develop Spirit connection so will NEVER be able to accomplish what a Being of Light can accomplish. Possibly in the future, when machines can interact on the quantum level, they will get much better - but always will be limited.

YES! Developed INTENT and Qi combined WILL feedback on each other increasing the other. I kinda simplified the previous statement as I have probably written this before. But also required, in addition to qi time & effort cultivation and developed INTENT is the practice of Virtue, alignment with Spirit, and calmness.

For many years now I have said that medical qigong IS future's medicine. I see the western med not working as well, herbal medicine still works but contamination is worse instead of better. Qigong healing works better today than it did even 10 years ago. I know that sounds weird but this is what I have seen. Not just from me but from everyone that gets involved with it. As the energies shift it will become more and more the "norm" as a type of healing people seek out because it works better than ever. I think energy medicine will surpass all other forms of therapy and healing. As someone pointed out, it IS a science.

Too bad - this harsh type therapy is unnecessary.

Wonder where these people get this stuff

Yeah, those dang fearful and whinin Americans. Here is an example of their paranoid and fearful mass hallucinations concerning meteors.

If this is true, then the obvious reason to me would be that there would be anarchy and the govt would lose control. After all, if everyone knew the world would end then hey, gonna get me a maximum dollar 5 year mortgage with one big balloon payment due May 2013. Why go to work? etc. The very mention of wars - and you can't believe our leaders are that stupid? Not totally accurate because it is way too easy to caught in the mundane. But, through time&effort practice, alignment with Spirit, and knowing what different things feel like, Listening becomes easier and more accurate. I am a big skeptic; I am not skeptical of anything. I think his point was that this is a repetition of history, but yeah, could be either way. I saw them when it first opened. Haven't kept up with it and didn't know they had been modified.
