I live in FL and would like to try acupressure. Can anyone with experience in the field answer a few questions for me? How do I know I have a competant specialist? Can Accupressure be used for general health purposes or do I need to have a specific issue to treat? Can A be used to treat back pain and fatigue? Thanks!

Good luck dude

Good ole brain washing. :-P I'm doing my time in the Military. It's a good gig. I'd like to join this - but isn't the mental state needed to be achieved to "win" found while in a relaxed state? I'd think passing out is more likely than achieving samadhi. Especially if it's Tai Chi Quan standing postures. Those low stances are a good workout after going through them an hour! I'm just a newbie so I'm theorizing. BUT! - on the flip side, after a long session of Tai Chi Quan i've come out feeling an amazing relaxation like nothing else... So I suppose it is possible. But I think bodily fatigue would kick in before a newbie like me would make samadhi.

I also despise cutsy type anime, and I face slap to Avatar-Air Bender. Air Bender just seems like it's on the same level of Pokemon to me. :-( Moon Phase was cutsy but it had me rolling with laughter, and Solty Rei felt really heartfelt to me, almost like it had soul(same way with Moon Phase). Has anyone here ever watched an anime that gave you an electric shock or powerful feeling of connectedness or meaning? I've had that in Anime and Manga, XXXHolic volumes 1 and 2(Manga) and Moon Phase for Anime. It helped that I was at a point in my life where I was actively feeling subtle energy as a side effect of meditation, so I think there was a sort of spiritual connection happening.

Lamae Yeshe wrote a great book "Bliss of Inner Fire" I suggest practicing, even if the majority of the visualizations may be ommitted, while still attaining the results.

This is for sure the thread to share, though! Post a cool story or three

IMO- A teacher isn't required but a good one will cause you to progress faster. *From experience!* Ex: Being shown something was possible before ever thinking it would be worth trying to progress in that way. Getting immediate results do to energy workings of said teacher. Having old issues cleaned out energeticly, instant heal of parts of psyche.... Ect. Karma! I love mine.

Actually, it is very easy to charge up with the breath(Chi can be built this way), you don't require sexual energy; eggs or sperms to make it so, but the Jing element needs to be there. in retrospect, if your healthy I don't see how the Jing element could be missing. I do it fairly easily, to where I can be felt by non cultivators, as a near complete beginner. Beam me up, Scotty!

Black cat was awesome! I haven't heard of many of those you listed. Thx for recommendations!

Wait! No! my fav is FLCL !!!

Hellsing OVA my fav

Experimentation is one of the main reasons i've had many amazing experiences. Never be afraid to explore. Dimensions, spirits, past lives. Amazing stuff. Mind blowing and thank god it's part of our human experience. many thanks to those higher beings who like to play.

Out them. :-)

What are the symptoms of the 'perv attack'? I'm male, and a meditator & cultivator. When I go out into public I tend to notice an overly 'sexed up' feeling when seeing females and at times feel very angry when looking at males and it can even turn into short day-dreams of fighting. Is this my energy mixing with females and males out in public or did I just tell on myself as having some wierd psyche issue? lol. Thanks

Travel in a projection and learn a new skill. Bring it back and impress someone. Lol.

Or in that universe your parents never met and you don't exist. Or you exist in a different state entirely. If you have had the multidimensional reincarnation experience.

Now that's a great experience.

Good luck finding a new Martial arts class.

Well, I have the course material and contact info of my instructor. I'm just trying to continue my learning. I'm revisiting old books for more facts and materials. Anything to help it out you know. Also, I totally get what your saying about the subtle building. BEfore I started reading chi building materials and attended that class I tried it on my own and after a time noticed that my energy reached out far enough for me to feel people coming from a far distance away, and I could taste what their energy was like, in a fashion, and had moments when people noticed me pass by feel and didn't know how to explain it. Of course I didn't keep up and I don't know if the practice I was doing (Following my intuition and meditating) was healthy. WHo knows, doing that to my energy could have screwed something up. I do know I'm more impatient now that I know I can get to that level. LOL - Give me instant results! Just kidding.

Actually I haven't read the thread about his credentials or abilities, I just saw that everyone was excited to hear what he had to say so I was thinking along the lines of: "He must know something useful."

Chi kung and MCO, internal alchemy and inner smile. I've felt psychological differences from the chi kung but not noticed anything energeticly, and right now i'm sure i'm only imagining the MCO becuase I'm just moving my tactile sensation with my mind. So I was thinking I should add back in more seated meditation and deep Buddha breath. Does this make sense?

If he decides to answer any more questions, is anyone willing to ask some basic developmental questions that may be helpful/useful for beginners? I wouldn't mind mentioning a few things about energetic development that have stumped me if that is possible.
