Hi CarsonZi, Well, it isn't open anymore....back on medication etc..but from what i remember it was just other humans--but i noticed it only a couple times. The aura was actually kind of white/grey from what ican recall.. cheers Ed

Hi, i'll add my 2cents, please take with grain of salt as i'm psychotic according to the doctors first of all it seemed like the physical bodies of other people were maqde of light but projected from somewhere like an emanation--remember the scene in star wars where princess lea is giving a message which she recorded a while before hand..in the first ever episode released. also from time to time i would see a transparent bubble around others but i remember particularly around someone doing an internal martial arts form. it moved whenever he moved. i would get ecstatic visual/imagination trips where i realised it was all love--whatevcer happened; thegrand scheme of things was pure love. oh and the first thing i ever noticed was a gold ring at the third eye chakra. like i said-take what i say with a grain of salt....and please remember that asking these types of expeiential questions is hindering you because it's creating ideas of what you are gonna try to seek/get instead of just being natural. peace Ed

No problem mate! yeah he is around that area....if he isn't teaching ask him for a contact for phil bridges who i think teaches in bury as well--xingyi peace Ed http://rumsoakedfist.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=5573 here is a thread on rumsoakedfist by alex about the seminar with his email address!

Here is a wise article that some here should read and really think about....inlcuding myself http://www.vancouversun.com/life/Meditatio...4171/story.html sometimes i've found that standing is better for me as it takes more willpower to get through the difficult stages of zz and thus hardens you inside (ina positive way) to make it easier to go and interact with others and do your work. peace Ed

YOU GUYS!!!!! my whole childhood just went up in smoke i had all the hatsumi books lol... Interestingly enough, the finger weaving kujikiri in one the books is identical to the finger weaving in a book about taoism i have (shamballa guide to taoism-eva wong). peace Ed

Sallams Santi, Thanks that was a great post! Yes k and si are both great at silat and have good energy....as does Pak Muhammad,, I have met him once and he seemed very kind and gentle. I agree about kerbatin being used in olden times, but I have to say through personal experience that pure faith and self control can produce miracles....although i suppose faith and self-control probably put you in touch with the same energy, so ..... If your intention using these exercises is good, but yet you fail in your intentions, is it then unwise to carry on practising it...or the intention is the most important part? Thanks again, i'm sorry I can't write asmuch as you did, I have very little knowledge at this stage. yea i got the same feeling we thinkingof the same exercise peace Ed

Hi Santi! it'sme from silat.tv and facebook...edward metcalfe.. just a quick question concerning qi in individuals.. does the way you gain it influence it manifestation? for example would doing taijiquan make for a soft yin qi...whereas silat or xingyi would they make a hot fiery qi? The kerbatin...i learned a bit from k and simon das, well one exercise which iam not allowed to describe in public but i heard that bassically the exercises are designed to take energy out of the system and let God put in what he feels best, although i heard that from someone else who trains with a different teacher. I certainly feel a opening in my lower back when ido this exercise.. I think it's the first one from the cimande system... sorry i'm not to clear with this post, justr spent five hours heaving furniture around lol! peace Ed

Jack, Sorry about your problems man........have you considered getting a circumcision, is it possible for you..maybe that would sort out one issue for you? sorry if this is embarassing for you!! peace Ed peace Ed

Take a look at this if you are against islam, this in my opinion is truley beautifull and real wisdom!! peace Ed

Trunk, thanks that is an interesting way of seeing his work! i agree about the internal martial art way being a very long process! Cat, thanks for the heads up....glad you found success with the healing sounds,, will start that this evening! wherabouts in london are you based? i'm west side peace Ed Cat, sorry forgot to say where to get his stuff from.......type in scott sonnon into the uk bit of the google search, and it should come up with i think justmagnotherapy.com peace Ed

Hi, I'm Ed from London UK,,, used to post on here a few years ago, doubt you will remember me, i posted only once or twice!! I am a christian, but i guess attempting to be a christian mystic---or gain some gnosis.. I've practices various internal arts, some bagua under alex kozma, and silat under K, a student of simon das....didn't go far with either of the arts...i'm more mental than physical...in more ways than one lol suffer from a psychosis, might or might not be to do with kundalini....had experience with golden light inward and outward a few years back, and was promptly put back on anti-psychotics, although to be fair i thought i was being followed around so..... I do basic follwing the breath meditation, sometimes use I-am mantra,,, currently getting into the jesus prayer.. I have material by scott sonnon, i'll be asking questions on its usage before long on the main forum here.. Ok, I think that is enough for now.... cheers peace Ed

Thankyou maker of the myth i sure have to agree with that...!!.. peace #Ed

sorry forgot to ask this in the first post......do you think warrior wellness is viable as a wayto gently open the mc orbit? I know a bagua guy ive spoken to said it's much safer to open it through bagua practice thanforce it open with mc orbit meditation. thanks Ed Markern, thanks buddy...........i have Cohen's qigong course which includes the six healing sounds, might have to give it a go. when you saymidfullness throughout the day, are you referring to awareness of the breath thorughout the day? cheers Ed

Thankyou for the recomendations growant!! peace Ed
