do traditions get outdated ? why , when and how ? also if and when should taboos be broken ?
mYTHmAKER replied to suninmyeyes's topic in General Discussion
Before a tradition gets to be a tradition it is an act appropriate in the moment. Once there was a group led by a wise man. The group would chant and meditate as part of their practice. One day a cat adopted them. The only problem was every time they meditated the cat would disturb them. They asked their masted what they should do. The master told them to take the cat outside and tie it to tree so it would no longer disturb them. They did this and everything was fine. They could meditate in peace. The master was very old and he died. The cat - a kitten - lived for a long time so many many years later it died. All the original disciples were no longer around. So what did the younger disciples do when the cat died? They went and bought another cat and every time they meditated they took the new cat out and tied it to a tree. -

Sometimes it is good for one to pretend to be angry whether one is a card carrying taoist or not.

Tai Chi, The Pyramid View of the Body, and grounding
mYTHmAKER replied to ChiDragon's topic in Daoist Discussion
No we cannot assume it is understood. You may know proper knee alignment, however, someone who is not as knowledgeable as you would think what is being shown is correct. So if you are going to show something that has something wrong it is your duty to point it out if you are the original poster. -

left eyed right handed, however i do many things with my left hand

Do you know which is your dominant eye. In most cases if one is right handed their right eye will be dominant If they are left handed their left eye will be dominant. Then their are some who are cross dominant - right handed/left eye dominant or left handed/right eye dominant. To determine which eye is dominant take a standard piece of white paper cut a tiny hole in the center - hold the paper with both hands arms distance and look through the hole- slowly move the paper towards you - at some point the hole will shift to your dominant eye. See if this corresponds to which eye you use to take a picture with a camera or aim a rifle.

if the corn is sweet it will remain so - i find cooking too long it loses sweetness

If you don't like litter boxes use the toilet like the rest of us

Best way to cook corn - boil water turn off flame - place corn in water for one minute

I built my site and mYHTISmAKERS site using Freeway- it's fairly easy to use. You can email them with problems and they will help you. There are templates or you can do your own design from scratch. This gives you the leeway to change things as you go. our sites: http://starkarma9.com/index.html http://barryfishman.com/

How do you properly drop your Brain into the Lower Dan Tien?
mYTHmAKER replied to SecretGrotto's topic in General Discussion
Simply place you attention on your dantien and your breath will follow. keep bringing the focus back and it will become automatic. Do not force it - do not make it travel in any direction. Relax and it will happen. You can play around with putting your attention at your throat - upper chest level and of course your dantien. Do this while walking and also when talking. You will notice how your posture and voice change. The lower the breath the freer your body will be - chest will relax hips will loosen and your voice will become deeper.- 33 replies

I am looking to buy a jian. There is a lot of differing opinion on whether the blade should be rigid or flexible to be able to stand on point. I wish to use it for taiji internal work As it is difficult to select online without actually handling in person it would be great if we shared. Weight of sword How it handles Balance Photos Source I am not interested is a sharp blade and practicing cutting on objects but others may be so feel free to share.

The no smoking ban was signed into law by Bloomberg. I think it is wonderful that he did so.

Rudy deserves the anal retentive reward - a dangerous man I also find it interesting how much credit he gets for showing up at 9/11. That was his job and any politician knows to show up where the action is. He rode that one for all it was worth. BTW is was Mike Bloomberg who set up the no smoking laws.
