This is not related to Dr glen morris but Xiang Gong (Fragrance Qi Gong) is great for entering the void. This Gong is based around the concept of no intent. Thats why some people seem to think Xiang Gong actually come from the Buddhist's, but recently i have discovered it didn't Basically when practicing you don't apply any intent (Yi) to the exersises,you don't focus your mind any where well you focus on nothingness and at the same time you don't if you know what i mean. Focusing on anything when practicing even the breathing will defeat the purpose of this gong The last exercise you bring your hands in front of your heart in the prayer mudra and let your self go into the Void. A great Experience !!

Cool stuff Wun Where did you learn all this from? if you dont mind sharing that

There is a good discussion about eating meat going on at David Verdesi's foundation forum atm http://foundation73.proboards55.com/index....read=1194477565

If your really into Chinese herbs i would suggest finding a good herbalist in your local china town and get him to give you a basic check over(pulse,tongue etc)A good chinese doctor can know everything about your health by simply feeling your pulse .From there he can put you on a program that might even involve some accupunture to bring your body to optimul health

When i took it,it was somewhat like drinking a red bull.My brain was buzzing from early morning to 1 am the following day.I couldnt sleep at all that night.My body was hot and very agitated.My mind/shen was all scattered.So basically you could say this herb made me extreme yang My teacher only reccomends taking this if your very weak and lacking in vitatlity,if your old and if your pregnant but if your young and healthy its not really going to benefit you

Criss angel is da MAN!! Lei Shan Dao masters got nothing on him

Hi and welcome Does this guy have a name? a web page ? etc I wouldnt mind checking him out

Holy crap...he is a BOT

These things can happen when you practice the microcosmic orbit meditation with out any kind of foundation. Drew is a prime example of that

Have you tried meditation alone for let's say 15 years twice a day or 5-10 years full-time (+/- 8 h per day) before saying soemthing this? No i have not and have no desire to and would never recommend anyone to meditate that many hours per day Herbal formulas are useless if your diet, sleep and lifestyle are deficient. I agree. Fancy names for the following basics: stillness, tamed mind and internal organs health that allow unblocked flow of qi. Fancy names? They are the chinese names for them. Nothing fancy about it Breathing methods??? That sounds the fire path to me. Hmm..Not recommended. The water path is safer and produces the same effects with no side effects. Many practices are not recommended if they are learnt from half assed teachers, if they are mixed with other practices or even worse if they are learnt from books. If you stick to 1 teaching and practice it exactly how it is taught and put your whole heart into it with the guidance of a competent teacher, there is no reason why it should cause you harm wether it be fire or water path or what ever other paths there are

Hey Truth, What kind of sitting meditation methods does he use? Why does he / you think the microcosmic orbit is crap. I too, intuatively, feel there is something wrong with it. I'd be interested in hearing his teachings on that. I assume, from what you have said, the basic criticism is that it unnaturally forces energy through the orbit which is perhaps problematic in some way? Could you elaborate? In kind regards, Adam. There are so many incorrect views on the MO going around these days it is hard to know what is true and what is delusional when it comes to these practices. Can you point me to any traditional teaching that is with in your grasp or any westerners grasp that teaches the microcosmic orbit that is known to us today?.That teaches how to transform your jing into chi into shen just by going on a 2 day retreat up into the mountains with harry rogers the person who spent 2 years in china learning some dodgy from of folk taoism You'd be surprised at how far from the real MO teachings these methods are The meditations he teaches are practiced along side moving/standing forms to focus on the regulation of your body and mind to achieve a state he calls pure land. A state where your body and mind are in total harmony,Your organ energies are balanced and your psychology is lifted and not troubled by anything .You can not achieve this state with meditation alone. Through out the training he will often check your body to see if your at that level and some times supplement your training with herbal formulas and until you are he will not teach any higher level methods that involve cultivating chi. To speed up your progress he gives empowerments Some of the moving forms he teaches at the foundation level are level 1 and 2 Xiang Gong,Lok Tong King,spontaneous Qi Gong,Tai Chi and when you get a bit more advanced he teaches Yi Jin Jing and breathing methods cheers

Well obviously if he does it on 1 nail it will go straight through him and most likely kill him:P I doubt anyone could do it with 1 nail unless perhaps your a lei shan dao master at a very high level

Just to let any Melbournians know I have been training with a Qi Gong/Taoist master in melbourne for quite a while now.Im going to continuing my training with him today after not seeing him for 2 years His name is Dr Shan Hui Xu. He is a third generation master of his school.He was initiated into the taoist teachings at the age of 8 and then later studied under 2 Taoist priests in the guandong province.He has also spent time in the Shaolin temple His classes are pretty much one on one these days and involve alot of empowerments.His Qi Gong combines hard with soft forms and standing/sitting meditations but none of that microcosmic orbit crap.The empowerments open up the MO naturally and safely Here is a little video of him doing a demonstration of some Shaolin Hard Qi Gong with 2 of his first australian students Sifu garry and Sifu linda If anyone is interested to meet him send me a PM and i can give you his details:) Cheers

Thats a good strategy Send females here to attract more bussiness? hell i want to go to one of Maxes seminars now cos there are females there !!

Im in australia If your Sifu ever visits melbourne let me know Just one question.Does your sifu give energy transmissions to his students to aid in there progression? Thanks

You do realize other people read these forums and some even base there lives around what they read here.You could be doing much damage to the poor individuals that may happen to take this bullshit as fact and apply it to there own lives. In my opinion i think you should keep this to your self

Just my 2 cents I would stay away from any practices that talk about chakras,breath retention, or mixing Zhuan Zhuang which is a traditional practice with stuff that are obviously laced with new age mumbojumbo It may feel good and powerfull in the beggining but then you will start to feel the nervous disorders kick in due to your body becoming to yang and it all goes downhill from there

hello I have been learning Shaolin Qi Gong/meditation for about 10 years.I have enjoyed reading the discussions in this forum for some time now. Keep them going
