I find that practicing zhan zhuang postures like emrbace the tree sitting, empowers the standing and also the sitting. It is like a yin yang perfection--practicing the same arm/hand postures in both sitting and standing.

Im not sure I understand what you mean by "weighting"? So 100/0 is standing on one foot? Thats cool, good to change it up. I do 50 50 most always. I find that doing embracing the tree sitting helps embracing the tree standing incredibly.

http://www.energyarts.com/cms/index.php?id=26 Check this out, he shows the central and side channels. Very interesting, for sure! Gotta love subtle energy anatomy!

I am looking for the best sources on diet/nutrition..will compile their essence into a paper I'll write...please offer me some of the best sources, so far I am going to draw from the following books/sources. Energy balance diet Tao of Health Sex Longevity/dan's interviews Light Body Activation Guidlines to Life: Avoiding Extinction 4 Dimensional Art of Life Article by Lars Mazzola Ni family stuff... (Have yet to read this book) How to Live to be 150 information on taoist bigu/grain??? no eating?/fasting? winn? bob flaws? others???

I know there are infinite ways to play witht he macro orbit flow. The other day I started doing it around the sides of my body: all sides like in a circle. Just activating the flow in whichever direction its called to move. This was very healing. Very much so when I took it out of bed and into standing wu chi practice just now. Anyways, there are many ways to run the grand orbit. Which way/s do you prefer?

I started reading about half then got impatient. Can you find a copy of his intro to the Golden Flower book? I couldnt.

Im not sure I understand that website, but that is a blazing translation!

Rawness...yes thats important to balance in. This book, Mythmaker, is for weight loss? Can you desribe it? Looking at the concordance, it recommends vegis, avoid cancer and revolution...

WOw that was a serious link my dawg. What was the deal with that? It was incredible, I dont have time to read it all, but wow! What was that deal about Uma Thurman's dad? I felt like guy had decent buddha hood in the move Cry of the Snow Lion. Overall, I think that movie could have been done much better.

This is all very interesting, keep it coming! I enjoy the macrocosmic orbit outlined in Li Jun Feng's book Shengzhen, copied in Gilles Marrin's Healing From Within. They trace it up and down legs, up spine, arms, head, down front again and repeat. Mantak Chia has a weird orbit flow, eh? Can anyone desribe that? Its part of fusion three, and I beleive the distinction of his is that it uses two lines instead of re-tracing the orbit...side channels. Then, Ijust rememebred, there is a david twicken's technique which traces to the bottom of the feet and fingers, along with the normal macro route.

If you were to open a vegitarian restaurant that was bigger than Mcdonalds and had tao immortals on the walls, what would you put on the menu? What would you call it? Ill give the first idea for a menu item... Open face portobella with cheese on whole grain bread with lettuce tomato and special guacamole sauce

Come on people, lets step up this conversation? Who want to type in Dan Reid's macro cosmic orbit? How about other peoples? ROger Jahnke, in his book The Most Profound Medicine (available through his website) desribes the orbit like sea of chi sexual palace tip of spine gate of life (where pre/post haven meet) 100 meeting point tip of nose tongue/roof of mouth back down to sea He says that when this overflows open, chong mo opens then. Those three fill the other 5 extraordinary psychic vessels. THIS IS VERY PROFOUND, EH? Roger is the man!

So I was reading in Alex Anatole's great book Truth of Tao, and looking at the pictures/shrines of Foxes in Japanese (tao?) temples. The author neglected to explain about the foxes, however. Whats up with Foxes?

What have you gotten out of Western Alchemy?

Nice change. Looking more taoist. I was just thinking about this recently...twas very very red before...

I think the idea of "holographic" is the central part to the tao, although it often gets lost. Keep it simple, what do you think? The words Holy, Holiday, Holistic and Holon come from this...I read Holy came from helios but that makes less sense than this explanation.

Anyone familiar? I found this amazing woman by searching Chia's instructor directory. For those of you in Caly, I would seriosuly think about attending her workship! But thats just me. I hope to/someone will get all her learning materials, and perhaps have it in the Taobum library...? This is gold. She teaches cool things...like doing the healing sounds through the reflexology on the sex organs...

Anyone know where to order those big tao pants or shoes or silk shirt and pants? I need to record a video with myself doing some form for college credit, and want to look like a taiji pimp master flash.

why not put up a link to it

How does one get this wholesale hookup?

What is indicated by a white tongue? Heart issues, I assume?

Shifu Jianye Jiang has whole silk uniforms for 75. Thats better price than yang's. Anyone familiar with Master Jiang? Im thinking of checking out his Wu DAng primordial qigong and other Wu Dang QIgongs.

I started reading Solala Towler's A Gathering of Cranes. In it he interviews 9 tao masters in the West. This has sparked my interst to find out more about the cultural rev. Particulary how it relates to indiginous people like tibetans and taoists...religion...some 30-80 million people died, I have read. Whats the real story??? This makes me wonder what other recent genocides have happened which they dodnt teach to normal Americans in high school or college? What was the largest genocides in history? I just saw the movie Cry of the Snow Lion, a very nice flick.

Have you studied xan xin qigong?

Soor? Yeah I mean like, not so much pale, but whit stuff covering it, bad breadth style.
