avoid the deep end superficiality is its own reward

Try them both and see how it goes. There’s no harm in window shopping before you commit.

but walls make poor friends never phone or ask you out but just stare blankly.

Dear Lurkers, Never post. Just never. Or you will be drawn into Nipplegate and other sagas. Stay silent. Lurk. The Doabums is a dangerous place full of traps and snares. You have been warned. Don't. Just say no. Be silent. Be safe.

Neither - he was the president.

New age psychics should already know what you are thinking.

They should set up a Lurker sub section - anyone who posts there is immediately blocked from it because they are no longer a lurker.

The Five Tibetans sounds like a pub that serves bar food.

Those look like basic warm up exercises which I used to do before doing aikido so we didn’t hurt ourselves. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing but they are pretty universal.

I do a couple of hours in the garden most days, loads of plusses - such as closeness to nature and growing things. We have a 'horta' for veggies and a garden for flowers. Just planted some azealias which I hope will give nice blooms in the spring. Also its a mix of quite hard work like digging over and general pottering about - which is nice. Growing veggies is also a big plus - everything fresh and full of sun-energy. The other thing is walking. Actually I think walking is the best general exercise you can get.

He was far from lazy I assure you.

When I learned qi gong we stood in horse posture for at least 1 hour before he would teach us anything else. I got the impression that strength training (building muscle) would actually work against qi flow and meridian opening. In fact I was told only to exert (in the qi gong movements themselves) to 70% of stretch or strength.

Under the international law of DaoBums I call for a truce.

Anyway .... lol I was going to ask a question from the perspective of my ignorance. The OP seems to be talking about qi gong for 'stretching and physical strength' - the qi gong I was taught many years ago was really about connecting outer movements with qi movement in the body - building, storing, increasing and so on. If I was interested in physical strength building I'd do weights and so on - gym work. Have I missed something???

when you’re in hole keep digging 😄

He called himself Lama Dorje I think and I am sure he could kill you with one finger.

I would give anything to be middle aged again.

For what its worth I took your comments to be descriptive not disparaging.

There used to be a guy on here who claimed 27th in his lineage but when I asked him about it turned out his grandfather had taught him something and his family had lived in a certain part of Russia for that long so he just counted backwards.

I reckon the British Royal fam could provide written evidence ... 1123 - 2023 ... but that would be exceptional. I think most of these kinds of lineages include orally transmitted beginnings followed by certificates of authority.

is this sarcasm? Honest answers only please.

Never

we have all often asked this question

In reply to your original post I think perhaps your approach is too scattered. Given you have had mental illness and are a sensitive person any forced approach would be bad for you. It is true that in some traditions sex is used at certain times by advanced practitioners but it is quite dangerous unless you know what you are doing. You should definitely in my view refuse the person who wishes to take your virginity. kundalini should happen naturally when it is ready and not be forced or even particularly targeted. Also the secret to it is almost the reverse of what might be imagined. So my feeling is that you should discard most of the ideas you have picked up about it. I don’t know if this is helpful or not but is just my thoughts.

Think themselves too good For those of us who thoughtless Sit down unnoticed.
