Too much brandy in the mince pies

My exprience of bliss comes in spurts.

I remember reading the Screwtape Letters and one of the devils better ideas was to put it about that he doesn't exist.

Tantra speaks of an all pervasive Universal Bliss where all other forms of bliss are but a pale reflection.

These are good informative reads: Path of Fire and Light Vol. 1: Advanced Practices of Yoga Pranayama: The Yoga of Breathing Kumbhaka is the key to getting the internal winds to abide in the central channel but without formal instruction it is dangerous to hold the breath for more than two minutes.

No, they're chilling.

Killing is perhaps a regrettable necessity in worldly life, but for me at least, as a method for spiritual cultivation it is an anathema.

You are not alone.

This picture looks like two different photos joined together.

Personally I welcome the presence and experience of older practitioners.

Perhaps your solar plexus centre is naturally open?

I've read that faerie contacts will leave you if they're talked about without their consent.

Love these things. Freerice donated 218,510,070 grains yesterday (20th November 2007).

Makes perfect sense Todd. The opportunity for formal sitting/standing practice is not always available, so everyday life becomes an alchemical laboratory if approached with a certain attitude.

The direction can be important for other practices. Mantaks Chia's short tai chi form has a healing version where the elements are associated with the different compass directions and the player absorbs the directions' elemental colours. For sleeping I've been told its good have the head pointing either North or East.

I remember you put me on to Primordial Chi Kung. I wonder if direction is also an important factor ... Felicitas Goodmans's looks well worth checking out. The power of the simple movements that defy explanation along the lines of strict chi theory ... whole body sigils whose outcomes are not explainable through the standard qigong modes etc.? All this certainly challenges my assumptions (in a good way).

Depends on the visualisation and your hand positioning at the time.

As long as it's in the form of a general request to the universe and doesn't involve specfic individuals I think its fine.
