AWARENESS OF BREATHING 24 HOUR EXPERIMENT I suspect it would be harder while reading or talking with people or watching tv or sleeping, but YOU CAN DO IT! Well in waking life, not when you go to bed. Forget about the dreams, I am talking about waking life. Every breath must register in your brain. Enhale or exhale or both? Inbetweens? Whatever. Can anyone do this while sleeping???? DONT MISS 1! Try it for a day, see what happens! Maybe you will realize how much you take everything for granted because you will think more clearly and enjoy the moment more and reach new heights of meditation and real life enjoyment. HOWS THAT FOR BECOMING A CHI KUNG MASTER? AS A TEST? 15 seconds in, 15 out, 2 breaths per minute???? Come on now??? Do what you gotta do to make it happen!? Post your results! STARTINGNOW!

I was wondering how YOU would desribe the perfect breath? Look look, they hearts racin' They start chasin' But I'm so fast when I blow past That they can't BREATHE In the presence of the man Your future looks better than ya past if you present with the man You betta BREATHE -Fabolous

This is not an easy practice., but the fruits of it perhaps could be very good, if you knew kan and li 123 and had an embryo and lived by yourself for 9 months you could become enlightened perhaps...but maybe it is possible in real life???? I was talking to someone and told them it would be much easier to have another person doing it with me perhaps? Aware of ever single breath, both me and this girl....whenever we chill together, we will try it, i said. But when I chilled with her later she was drinking a bear. lol, guess i need a different partner in this quest for permanent breath awareness experiment...hahaha. even with a partner, meeting new people, that is what fuck you up! ...gotta love martin buber... meeting people take your breath away, seeing new people, and also sleeping, and emotional people who talk too fast..lol its 5:07 a.m. what am i doing right now? goodnight taobums

Well it is not easy let me tell you. The key is to be aware off the breath while doing something else, i.e. enhale as you open a door or type a sentence for example, or breath into your foot or nuts (if you have them) etc... I started the day off aware of all my breath, then i went to the grocery store and I decided to steal some vitamins and then I forgot to breath for a good 4 minutes. Then I heard a GD song come on and I rememberd to breath again, then i went home and talked to some friends and forgot a little bit here and there (it is almost impossible in conversations, but when it works, it WORKS!) then ate food while breathing. Towards later in the day I did a capoera dance thing with this girl and I def forgot to breath MORE THAN a few times. We then did yoga with another friend and I remembered to breath all the time until it was over. Perhaps awareness of EVERY breath is tooo grounding? Or Toooo mental? Too much shen or too much jing? WHAAAAAAT? I dont know, the 4 dimensional school would say to use the breath in coordination with the heaven/earth polarity, male/female to balance futurepast. I like that way of looking at it. With heaven/earth balanced in lower tan tien, male/female in middle tan tien and future past in upper tan tien, of course making it balanced is easier said than done, hahahaha

I am posting this because I ate a lot of grain today, whole weat grain and and some white flour. Some people call white flour white poison... "WHITE FLOUR. Called "white glue" by herbalists, white flour has no fiber and thus clogs the intestines. White flour depletes the body's tissues of valuable minerals and vitamins which are processed away during refining. Epidemiological studies show the correlation between the introduction of white flour in America in the 1890s and the rise of colon cancer in the early 1900s. Found in pasta, bread, cookies, crackers, pastries, donuts, biscuits, pizza, and a host of other "fast foods," white flour contributes to low vitality, constipation, headaches, and migraine (Balch, 1997). Refined grains such as minute rice also lack fiber, minerals, and vitamins and should be eliminated from the diet. The average American adult has accumulated over 40 pounds of intestinal sludge as a result of a "refined" diet (Gant, 1997)." The above quote taken from: http://www.itss.brockport.edu/%7Elmazzola/keys.html I am assuming that multi grain and whole wheat is the same, correct?

call it cosmic swimming pa kua chaaaaaaaaaangggggggg

moved

I was listening to this song by a band called GFE. The dude was like "I live in a trinity of water, hair and eyes." lol But anyway, hair breathing is awesome, we should all do it more.

So if I went to Walmat yo get me a juicer...?

smoke them crack rocks?

What about granola? (Prompted to ask this because I love the band Granola Funk Express and I have been eating very yummy granola cereal non-stop.)

So where is more info on this pre birth bagua? there is so many baguas and I want to find the best one/teacher.

CORPERATIONS DONT WANT YOU DRINKING YOUR PISS this is why you really have to SEARCH the internet to find info about it, but when you do, you can read how urine therapy is a serious therapy, I am not going to brag to my friends/lovers about it, thats for sure, nor do I be practicing it these days, but if you are a serious meditator, you must not leave any stone undturned...and you cant taste if you dont breath through your nose and use mouth-wash right after, no problem

This is a great qi gong, I am really enjoying. What do yall think? I am using the Yang Jwing Ming video/book.

What do yall think of this as an intro to bagua? http://www.plumpub.com/sales/bagua/vd-BGartofDoub.htm

I tried a first semester for a few weeks in a row. I think I noticed a feeling of more health...I wonder if anyone else really felt a change. I know if you are a Shaman and eat a Fly Agaric mushroom, then drink your pee, it will take you to the next level, and you can keep drinking it over and over for as long as you want I guess...never tried it, but one day. May the pee drinking begin! This also reminds me of David Shen. I wonder what is so special about his "advanced empty force tao yin" what he taught to Chia along with his pee drinking skills. "Golden Water Taoist Ways to transform Urine into Chi The ancient Taoists called it Jin Suei (Golden Water or Sacred Water). Taoists regard urine as the drink of longevity and an agent in the spiritual transformation process of Internal Alchemy. Urine contains the essence of our organs. It starts from the brain and slowly drips down to gather in the bladder. This is the finest distillation of our body's liquid. There are many examples of urine therapy throughout the world. Normally this water of life is taken in though the mouth. The Taoist practice requires intake through the nose, stimulating the higher glands in the brain, opening the high energy centers and clearing the sinuses. The practice of The Water of Life ( Jin Suei or Golden Water) and the tongue exercise, combined with Fu Tsang Nei Kung (Internal Empty Force Practice), and Advanced Empty Force Tao Yin form the basic set of the Baseng Chi (The Eight Immortal Breaths). They will enhance the power of your practice and transform this liquid into life-force. Master Mantak & Maneewan Chia are Chinese, born in Thailand. He is the direct successor to the teachings of Master Yi Eng, the White Cloud Hermit. Master Chia has brought these teachings to the world, personally instructing thousands of students each year in North America, Europe and Asia. Together with his wife Maneewan, they are the authors of 12 esoteric and practical Taoist books and the Healing Tao Video Library. 1 Tape: 41 Minutes " Eight Immortal Breaths Series Supplementary Advanced Practices: http://www.healingtaousa.com/videos.html (see bottom)

I still dont get it.

Thank you very much IanB, this seems to be very good advice. So your saying forget the 108 forms. Do the bagua, do the push hands, applications and standing, structure, structure, structure in-between everything you learn. Master, a short form. Very interesting. I gotta go to a teacher and do push hands and bagua. I think I will master Chia's 13 form and tai chi 2. This sounds like a smart plan? Or should I mess with a 108 northern wu form?

Well what is the best move (of those othr six) do you beleive? Personally I am really reaping the benefits of turning my neck from side to side with different hand positions and aware of breathing to perinium and k1...amazing how such a simple little qi gong can heal my neck-- perhaps mind-body connection

what? hahaha

gooday m8

I came accross a very interesting website. This form of QiGong seems to be very effective and powerful. I am wondering if anyone is familiar with it. On this guy, Gasper Garcia's website he outlines the practice very basically. He also sells a spanish vcd for $55. It seems this is the only source to learn this amazing practice... Here is the outline of the form: http://www.luohan.com/html_uk/uk_luotechnical.html Also, the website in general is very interesting.

I found another teacher of the 18 Lohans, Wong Kiew Kit! His website has details on this version of the 18 movements! Found one more, http://www.plumpub.com/sales/chikung/18lohan1.htm $80 for two these tapes Found one more! http://www.pailum.org/DragonShop/videos.htm for $45 I am familiar with Pai Lum tao because of the Kuan Yin form. I just ordered their louhan tape for 45! I hope its good, and I wonder how good their chi kung tapes are? Pai Lum Tao seems to be an awesome school. (or white dagon warrior society as they call it)

Where in sam hell do I find a list of the past winners?

What are any good tips you can give on it? Also what do you do? You use Master Chia's techniques?
