  1. Witch's "Orgasmic Diet"

    Nix the iron. Added iron is no good - forget the RDA requirements. Check out Dr Fuhrmans web site. Look at his specially formulated vitamins. He shows whats in them and WHY and what's not in them and WHY. Even if you don't buy them it's good information.
  2. Eating Flesh Pros and Cons

    Sounds like a little desire creeping in. I don't eat meat as I have no desire to do so. Vegetables and fruits are not bland and are delicious.
  3. Theta Meditation System

    I'd rather be here than there.
  4. Merging with the Void

    Maybe yin - yang. No mind - mind.
  5. Acting: Great Performances

    Anyone ever see David Bowie in The Man Who Fell to Earth. Good live forever theme
  6. Knees

    Many taiji players and martial artists have knee problems. Try these to see if you are using your knees properly. Stand facing a wall feet shoulder width apart one inch from the wall. Nose touching the wall. One should be able to go down into a full squat to the floor hinging at your joints. If you can do this you will have proper knee alignment. In this position your knees must be centered over your feet. Try again with a wider stance. Stand up with a chair, seat facing you the edge lined up with your knees. Move into a squat. If your knees pushed the chair forward you are moving improperly. Now try again with the image in your mind that you are about to sit in a chair.You will bend at the qua and your behind will move back directly toward the make believe chair - your knees will not move forward. Stand legs shoulder width apart with one leg about a foot in front of the other. Bend your front knee sit deep in your qua. Do not move your knee forward. Your weight is 100% on your front leg. Turn your waist in the direction of the front leg (if right leg front turn right) at the same time feel your leg vertically into the ground and push the inner thigh toward the right. There should be no movement (rotation) in the knee. Now turn your waist toward the left . Keep pushing your inner thigh toward the right. Do not allow your knee to move to the left (rotate) with your waist.
  7. Knees

    I don't practice squatting x number of times. I used to do it maybe once a day while learning. It's not the number of times you do it that's important. Everytime I do my form I make sure my knees are aligned and am sitting. As my qua opened I was able to squat deeper. The correct practice of your form will improve your squats. Really pay attention when you sit down as many people have the tendancy to push their knees forward. You can also practice putting a chair in front of your knees- The chair will be pushed forward if you move incorrectly. Also watch the tendancy in your form when both kness bend at the same time. You can pm me with your progress or questions as I skip around a lot and don't have the patience of a Buddah to read all the long posts.
  8. Knees

    Your behind goes down toward the floor ( chair). Just like when you sit down. If you curve your pelvis up you arch your back.This is a no no. You have to relax down - if you tighten or tuck you are tensing the stomach muscles and impeding breathing. Weight is evenly distributed over the whole foot. Luke Chans back is gently rounded - not curving in. He does it very well. His is the correct way. You can also do it with feet seperated. Feet together is harder for balance.
  9. Knees

    When you squat your back should remain flat , not arched - hinged at the qua - hips - and not curve in as you descend.

    Bravo! I'm glad Bush pardoned him. It just becomes more difficult for middle of the road republicans to support him. It's a lovely screw up
  11. The Tao of Pooh

    You're right Why not for yourself. It's fun. All the great ones have a childlike innocence and they love to laugh.

  14. "The Secret" hits it bigtime!

    That which causes birth and death causes karma. That which can be explained is not the cause.

    Right on Papa Paul We try to smell with our noses hear with our eyes see with our ears The true miracle is that we can see with our eyes hear with our ears and smell with our nose. Why walk through a wall when you can walk through the door.

  23. is a shadow less than nothing?

    "Only the shadow knows"
  24. is a shadow less than nothing?

    A shadow has no substance but the object that casts the shadow has substance. You cannot have a shadow if there is no object to interfere with the light.
