  1. zhan zhuang on the 6th floor

    Doesn't matter. I also stand and practice on the 6th floor ( the recommended floor LOL) When you practice you are sinking, relaxing into whatever you are standing on. You are grounding to whatever is beneath your feet. You will benefit.

  5. This is not aimed at you - it's that you presented the opportunity to address insults. I myself was very good at this and am sure with a little practice could get back into the swing of insulting others. I do take issue with insult for insult sake - it is good if one wishes to feed their ego but what is the point. Why be nasty to hurt others - why the need. So IMHO although one may be very knowledgeable in a subject or proficient in a martial art, if they can't control themselves they have achieved nothing in this life. The real test to see if one has achieved anything - to see what state they are in - is not to engage and build on this negative energy. So i do agree that if someone is insulting everyone they should be banned but before that happens we should practice not responding in like manner or not responding at all.

  14. Dream Hikes

    Fifteen blocks from the northern end of Washington Heights, in its Hudson Heights neighborhood near Pinehurst Avenue and 183rd Street in Bennett Park, is a plaque marking Manhattan's highest natural elevation, 265 ft (80.8 m) above sea level One World Trade Center, the giant monolith being built to replace the twin towers destroyed in the Sept. 11 attacks, will lay claim to the title of NYC tallest skyscraper a little over 1,250 feet high, just enough to peak over the roof of the observation deck on the Empire State Building. However, I prefer level land or as it is known as the middle way

  21. Colors of Dragons

    The dragon colors relate to the Bagua colors
  22. Bagua in color - Earlier Heaven Eight Phases of Yin and Yang - Later Heaven Eight Phases of Yin and Yang Gold = yang Silver = yin In the Earlier Heaven Eight Phases of Yin and Yang - yin and yang are balanced opposites. It is in stasis - no movement - just hanging out. Heaven is above earth is below. In the Later Heaven Eight Phases of Yin and Yang - all yang trigrams are below and all yin trigrams above. It is out of balance. This indicates movement which begins with shock- thunder (green) with yang moving into yin.
