Ddirk Ollebrandt is the man, he has a book, audio and video on his website, GET IT. Also, I think the problem with HT is that it is such a deep system that when you first get into it you get lost, right away. For example, for me, I picked up Transform Stress into Vitality and I didnt know one should start with Dao Yin or something grounding....major kundalini psychosis becuase I knew of no teacher in my area who could help (certified through the HT) or otherwise. If only he said: START WITH DAO YIN and made this clear I think a lot of people would be saved from seriously MAJOR BULLSHIT. IT PISSES ME OFF! Now, Dirk's system is great. Also Wu Dang mountain is saposedly the Mecca for Taoists, I'll be getting a couple chi kung forms in the mail soon teaching those, so stay tuned, ya heard?

what you know about it?

I got that primordial tai chi for whoever wants it.

yes I highly agree. Where did you meet him? I wonder if he is the best bodworker in the world, haha. His "meridian chi kung" is also fabulous...4 dimensional 4 life.

i want some niu huang chieh du pien, yall know where to get some for cheap? I never tried no chinese herbs b foh but chia highly recommends this in the instructor manual booklet!

So plato, you agree I should cop that dvd Sonnon's Warrior Wellness Trilogy DVD next? or perhaps a different one such as freedom by degree? So much to learn, so little time! Also, the psoas book? Im thinking I should get it. Is it worth i $22?

I love to put on music by "the string cheese incident" and get down with my bad self. ...amazing band out of colorado.... what are yall listening to?

so is it worth getting? hahaha yeeeeah, i doubt it

yeah lol. when i lift up my knee towards myabdomen i hear a "crack crack" in my hip. now it doesnt hut but its really annoying psychologicaly, i dont know what to do. I am thinking about getting the psoas book, is it worth it? Or Trunk, can you tell me the key points? Also I been doing some Tae Bo. Although that stuff appears basic its really a taoist practice from S. Korea...dank. So anyway, should I get into Sonnon's work first or Matt Furey. Also, I am about to work on certification from this dude: http://members.aol.com/michaelrqi also Im about hit up the 4 dimensional bodywork seminar at Dao Mountain and cop me some niu huang chieh du pien (herb for liver) ahhhhhhhhh the future is bright...

Where can I get some cool taoist art? I reeeeally wanted the Lu Dong Bin immortal poster from universaltao.com but they are sold out and dont plan to restock...suprisingly I cant find it anywhere.

this guy might be the preeminent qigong scholar of the west...i am listening to his audio tapes right now, downloaded from DC++ http://www.qigonghealing.com/qigong/tapes.html

How young are you? Im only 19. Why did you let him teach you redundant things? If I were to meet this dude I would make sure he taught me some serious things. I know he is at an extremely high level. Tonight I studied his breathing meditations audio tape and took very close notes, writing almost every word. That shit is giving me my dan tien back!

i think its imnportant i respect all sentient beings, or else they will haunt my dreams

How can I get in on this multiples.com, and what is this Taoist power yoga you speak of?

I just feel like you just have to be gentle with it. I mean, if you are feeling pain, then back off. If you take the time to open all your channels before gazing then you will find that it flows right through you into the ground. Dont be suprised if your eyes tear and you start doing tai chi. And if your eye burn then recompose yourself, look at the sun and mix the sun chi with the earth/tree/water energy and heal your eyes. Im saying, the energy from your body comes through the gate of life and death, or above. So the energy from the sun, to be useful, must be alchemicaly mixed with the with gate of life and death/(dan tien, door of life, the jing, feet, psoas, bones...it opens everything if you let it)

yes yoda, I was just driving around and after i got home i remembered i had to mail some stuff so i went to the post office but the real reason i went to the post office is because i knew the sun would be settin soon, so i dropped off the mail and went to this parking lot over the valley so i could see the sun set over the mountain let me tell you, it was hot Yoda, you may be right about the jing. I havent read as much as you about this but I remembered when someone said they just let the energy come ove them ...so i was doing embrace the tree staring at the sun (thinking about the dude in the movie PI) then i felt it go in the bones. then i went in my car and relaxed, still watching the sun. all of a sudden on the song i am listening to (by bela fleck) the lyrics go something like "descended from the sky, in a moment, travel accross the universe...fear" so then i did some more iron shirt then i got back in the care and after the sun went under them mountain i had the most energy accumulation: i realized the sun and the gate of life and death were directly connected and so was the orbit, belt channel, dan tien, bones, macrocosmic orbit! and kan and li spontaniously happened in my body without having to guide the energy, it even did sealing of the 5 senses! my vision seems to be sharper and i feel great! Basicly, i realized that when you take in the energy all you gotta do is balance it with the water and let it flow around the inner universe. I dont know if i have time to read all these other fancy techniques but I seem to have the hang of it pretty good, no?

i was listening to it and then i started having this dream, when i laid on my bed. i was sucking my own penis

Perhaps god's play in the original cauldron should be included? what do you think of this list? Add anything? Remove any?

The book Treasures of the Dao also talks about macro, micro, fusion 123, and kan and li meditations, I highly recommend it. This is a good thread. Ron, i didnt think you were really Ron Jeremy but I guess you are. So Harry, can you explain a little more about your problems with those meditations?
