I just set you up with one.

Xeno, when I refer to crown I mean the top of the head and an area extending a bit above it as well. http://www.iloveulove.com/images/A07-Sahasrara%20Chakra.jpg When I refer to third eye I refer to the point between and slightly above eyes and also extending out at 45 degree angle as well. I am not using the terminology "crown center" to refer to the midpoint inside the skull. It's quite possible I am using the terms non-traditionally, I have no clue. When I trace the spinal nerve I go from perineum up to where the spine meets the skull, I think called the "jade pillow" and then I turn and go from there through what I've heard Chia call the "crystal palace", straight to the third eye. Then back down again. Back and forth. Through this work I have experienced things such as indescribably sweet bliss in my belly like nectar, palpably hot, blissful fires in heart, intense pulsing in my third eye leading to literal muscle contractions there, feeling like my consciousness was being pulled through my third eye, pleasurable tingling in my crown and many other experiences but no CCO. My spiritual explorations are the one tiny arena in my life where I have basically no ability to set or even articulate goals. I would not say CCO is a goal of mine. If it happens it happens. It doesn't sound all that interesting ... my eyes glaze over the topic in fact. I have no real clue why I do most of this stuff, I am just drawn to it like a fool. Best, Sean

Maybe fiddle with your firewall settings. Strange that the problem is only on this site though. Hmmm.... So ALL images are gone? It's just all x's?

Has anything changed in the way you are accessing the site? New computer, new virus software, new router?

I think the whole point of going to the third eye is to avoid the crown. To allow it to open spontaneously. We are already an overly crown oriented culture. I am not drawn to this Mantak Chia style pumping chi into the top of the head. Everyone I meet cultivating with the crown directly seems to turn into some unique combination of crazy and cranky. With this method I experience what I might describe as heart centered orgasms, though I'm not sure there is any real way to quantify a lot of this terminology. Sean

There is another sense in which everything we say is channeled, since there is no fixed personal self originating intention, just movement, ultimately free, sometimes convoluting into dense forms, inevitably dissolving, etc. Sean

Hundun, thanks for the story. I've had really good experiences cultivating along the spinal nerve from perineum to third eye back and forth, so it's cool to see others working similar approaches.

Wow, I dig that evening graveyard standing meditation practice.

Matt. are you still having this problem? Is anyone else? I am not experience this. Sean

Dear Cameron, In your experience, have you found that people that get really into Advaita are categorically ANY less egoic than a completely random sampling of people off the street? And for whom is this demonic "ego" creation even a problem anyway? Love, Sean

You mean try to mimic the video? I've tried a few times. Let me know how you do. It's hard and I'm pretty flexible, or so I'm told outside of contortion classes. Nice form from your teacher, I've seen his videos before and have come close to ordering a DVD.

I am on Facebook, and I know Ian, Pietro, and GrandTrinity are there as well. Here is my Facebook profile. I like it just ok. I'm not active on there yet at all. I've been on MySpace for awhile, here is my MySpace profile. Friend me! Sean

You and your books man. Reading is so 2005. Take it easy, stop back in a few years and check up on us heathens.

Yeah, you have a point ... probably not from deep throating alone although I am sticking to this story with all Yoga chicks I pick up from now on. Group meditations in opening the throat chakra. I can already see the poster I will put around town. His girlfriends all do pretty intensive chakra cleansing/meditations + he puts in dozens of hours of full body deep tissue massage on them clearing out trigger points, organic healthy diets, etc, etc. so it's probably a culmination of all the work there.

This is Yogani's advice as well. Curious, where did you pick this tip up?

I seem to recall Stephane Hemon from ideaGasms claiming once that he has experience with women having throat chakra orgasms brought on by *ahem* learning to fully relax into passionate deep throating. Sean

I can vouch for Stephane's stuff, I have it all.

Damn. Even just reading that partner heart exercise, I can feel energy moving in my heart chakra. I think I'll let Lezlie fuck my heart tonight. Thanks Witch.

I'd like to study with this man some day. You can go to China and study with him, he has room and board and meals and everything, it's rather inexpensive.

I continue to be pretty mesmerized by this form ... Master Yuan Xiu Gang doing Tai Yi Qigong [googlevideo]-1809842674918661188[/googlevideo]

Let me know what you need, I'll help in any way I can.

Hello. Welcome. I like your introduction. And your name.

If it's copyrighted, please don't, no. But you can try uploading to a place like http://www.scribd.com and then putting the link here.

Via Lines and Colors Ode to Summer is a beautiful little animation in which what appears to be a traditional Chinese ink painting comes to life. A dragonfly flits through lotus flowers, koi swim through graceful reeds below the rippled surface of a clear pond and a young woman sits amid calligraphically drawn rocks and reads us a brief poem extolling the beauty of summer. Read more I remember when this artist was working on this piece on an art forum I used to frequent 5 or 6 years ago. Looks like it's finally finished. Check out the ending, may surprise you. mDKeOCdnIyw Sean
