mYTHmAKER

Never be afraid You might be right, however, Ive seen this work on people who were having heavy kryas (spontaneous kundalini manifestations) I'm talking of a small amount 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch square. Obviously if you're hypoglycemic it wouldn't be a good idea. Another thing he might try is to just stand without doing any orbits

Sometimes a small piece of chocolate might help if the manifestations are too wild.

sung or song relaxed not tense but not collapsed Like a cat ready to pounce

We is for real. One doesn't go through kundalini like an old suit of clothes. Our focus is basically the same. Our expression of it is not always so. However, we respect (can you really stop someone from being who they are and would you want to) each other to express in our own way. Should not be a bummer if your wife, partner doesn't interfere with your practice. Be thankful that she doesn't and allow your wife her space. Don't be resentful. Who knows your wife might become your deciple one day. BTW can't anyone spell my name correctly mYTHmAKER not Mythmaker

Don't remember which one of us caught it from the other

A big deal and yet no big deal. Both mYTHISmAKER and myself have had our kundalini awakened for longer than I care to mention. Frankly it's embarrassing - what have we accomplished Just a step along the path to no where.

Hello I must be going

I haven't heard anyone say "I really want to go" - myself included. So as far as I'm concerned your all disqualified. An I might be interested or a maybe I would go doesn't make the grade. Sorry to sound so harsh.

There are a number of people going ( see above) who are quite capable of reporting their experience. Since they have committed their own money and consciously chosen to do so they will most likely see the practices through to the end. If you choose me you also have to make provisions for mYTHISmAKER

Damm you Lerner

Who is it that speaks too much. One more thing Now I have the last word

Maybe we're talking of chakras http://www.crystalinks.com/chakraside.jpg

They might take a course or two. That's why I make sure all my aupuncturists studied in china and do qi gong

Darin Have you noticed any changes in your being or have you changed in any way, inwardly or outwardly, from your meditations. i.e state of mind, awareness level, sense of connectedness. If you haven't perceived anything has anyone you know commented on the way you are now as to the way you used to be. Changes can be very subtle

In the beginning there is the practice Once you know yourself there is no longer the need to practice. What is left is the joy of practice.

A stone plops into the mud and disappears. Was it ever here.

WoW! However, same old same old trip internally

Wooden balls painted black. One with a silk cord the other cotton. Home made - Very pricey.

Rght on. Every time we so much as straighten out a drawer there is a shft that takes place within. There is truth in - "Cleanliness is next to godliness."

Here is a photo of two of my pendulums. mYTHmAKER specials. I wasn't able to upload the picture directly to this page. http://www.thetaobums.com/uploads/11619026...50_31_40564.jpg

I have no idea how the I Ching works or why they chose to use yarrow stalks. Would love for someone who thinks they know to tell us why. For me using a pendulum to test, read energies or heal is a more direct experience. The I Ching more abstract. One can consult the I Ching and not be able to understand the meaning. Time may pass with meditation to truly understand what is being conveyed. I am able to use a pendulum but find the I Ching not as easy to use.

Taomeow My understanding of this misunderstanding mYTHmAKER When I am centered and steady where ever I am is the best spot. Speaking from my experience Taomeow Nice. So... classic feng shui is six thousand years of useless pursuits by the uncentered and the unsteady? I think you thought I was belittleing feng shui which I was not doing. mYTHmAKER Not at all. The uncentered and unsteady need all the help they can get. I meant those who are uncentered and unsteady obvious to me that doesn't include taoist masters.

My teacher was taught by a frenchman who was supposedly very knowledgeable. She passed on what he taught her to me. They are both no longer physically with us. I don't think the same principles would apply to dowsing and the I Ching. A pendulum is reading energies and the energies of other materials could interfere with the readings. The idea of wood is that it is inert. In order to use a pendulum one has to be really centered and clear. It is very easy to influence the outcome. Try different kinds - they might work for you.

Why are you putting words in my mouth. Why so defensive. Never said I felt superior. Never said I never use a pendulum or have no knowledge of feng shui. Where did the knowledge come from in the first place? Some either just knew or perhaps it came through meditation. But alas I do not meet your requirements and therefore am unqualified.
