I remember in your first book you said that you were never satisfied with explaining Chi-Gung through pictures. Perhaps soon you will be able to put movements in the book through videos

I am a college student and i walk around beautiful women all day. I love basking in the energy of women whom glow with that special feminine charm, its a beautiful feeling. -If you are a man then you will inevitably attract women to you. I do not think this is something that should be fought. Rather it is better to decipher what the best kind of relationship would be for you and ask the universe for it. Perhaps it would be better for you if you had a relationship centered around spiritual growth and find a nice little yogi chick...or perhaps you should find a nice looking prostitute whom can satisfy your desires every time you come down the mountain and leave without any emotional attachment? -Or perhaps it is best that you have no relationship with the opposite sex -Ask your own inner source what is best for you...if you are in alignment with your deepest wisdom then you will have no problem being with or without a women. -My 2 cents, Peace

Was a thread really necessary? Just PM him. -Also i just got a Kindle and it is amazing. I don't miss printed font one bit. They definitely put in a lot of effort to make the transition from paper to text as seamless as possible. Also the books are usually always cheaper...sometimes even free.

Ya Mu, You speak of the concept that in order to transmute sick chi into light you must have experience in your system. -However, for those who are not steeped in the system is there a 2nd best way in which people can make sure that sick chi does not pollute the earth and cause damage to human beings or the environment?
-
Wow, this is something i'd be very interested in learning. Guess i'll just have to keep practicing S-M.
-
Pollution occurs when materials are taken out of there natural environment or misplaced. For example oil is a natural occurrence and is not pollution until it goes in the ocean. -If this concept can be applied to negative sick chi then there must be a "place to put" all of the sick chi that way it does not corrupt the earths equilibrium. Any ideas?
-
Ah, thanks for the clarification.

Thanks i'm putting it on my list

I read your book and went back and re-read the section on sick chi again. We absorb sick qi from others and we need to practiced chi-gung in order to eject the sick qi and to recharge ourselves which is why it is important to practice a certain amount of hours a day. -My other question was do we get more qi back the more we heal? Does are power grow the more we heal others?

I find that oxymorons propel oneself to new levels of awarness because they bring light to the dynamics of reality and drive us to dig deeper into our own essence. An example of this in the Zen tradition is Koans.

Every man should read this book. I was blown away by the amount of knowledge that is contained in this book. It codified and put forward ideas and concepts about the interchange of yin and yang (women and man) that have been bouncing around in my head for years but never truly understood. -This book is brilliant. http://www.amazon.com/Way-Superior-Man-Spiritual-Challenges/dp/1591792576/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1311262462&sr=1-1

It couldn't hurt to use spaces in your posts little pie?

In the past i have noticed that when i put my awareness on my sacral women are more attracted to me. -Its been my observation that when you shift your awareness to different energy centers on your body your vibration and the FEEL of your consciousness changes.

Sounds like you could really use a teacher whom can guide...guessing with this stuff can be dangerous. I would put this post in Taoist Discussion and then ask the universe to send a teacher who is perfect for you to come into your life.

Supposedly this book explains it all. http://www.thetaobums.com/index.php?/topic/19100-everything-you-need-to-know-about-buddhism/ -
Sounds cool. I look forward to hearing your before and after experiences.

Been thinking of practicing Tai Chi for awhile however i want to keep the practice simple so i don't take much energy away from doing Chi Gung. So i decided that i would simply practice the 13 different base movements of Tai Chi also called: -8 Postures -5 directions -Is it a legitimate practice to simply practice the basics of Tai Chi rather than actually do an entire form? I would like to hear from those whom actually have a moderate amount of skill in the art.

Hey guys thanks for all the input and i welcome any more u may have to offer. -Gonna start just doing Tai Chi walking and practice till its natural. Then i'm gonna start practicing the postures and once i have the flow of it i'm gonna practice the Yang 24 form, still got the dvd from awhile back. -As a side note my father just told me this morning that when he was doing his Tai Chi and Chi-Gung in the park a Tai Chi teacher came up to him and they started talking. Syncronicity at its finest!!! -The guy has been doin Tai Chi for about 40 years. Gonna start taking classes with him and practicing at home. -Better yet the guy only charges 20$ for 2 months of classes twice a week. Good stuff. -Peace

Indeed being able to adapt a spiritual philosophy to cultures is very important. It is my understanding that Zen is somewhat of a "Stripped" version of Buddhism. It requires no beliefs only practice. -Alan Watts attempted to bring eastern spirituality to the west and i think in some ways he was very successful.

Been looking into practicing Tai Chi for about a month now. I know one good Tai Chi instructor near me who is good however, i also like practicing on my own. -So i went through amazon and found the best reviewed Tai Chi DVD out there, Chao Pang's DVD rose to the top. -I've been watching it for about a 2 days and am really enjoying. He explains the motions very thoroughly and also gives you standing practices that help you automatically corrrect your alignment based on feel. -In the DVD he goes through the yang 24 form and teaches it very well. He also teaches "Tai Chi Walking" and how to shift weight properly when practicing. -If your a beginner and you want to learn the basics this is a good Dvd. If you are intermediate and want to refine your technique a bit i think you would find some juice in this DVD. -Also i was wondering if anyone here has practiced with Chao Pang and what there opinion of him is? I am in no way offiliated with Chao Pang or the company that co-created this DVD. Just giving light to an outstanding product. http://www.amazon.com/Tai-Chi-Stillness-Through-Motion/dp/B000XO42PW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1295275693&sr=8-1

Thanks for the review Hundun -
Be humbled Also Steve mentioned the question "Who are you?" This is a very important question. -You may also profit from reading some koans. I have found them quite useful. http://www.amazon.com/Zen-Flesh-Bones-Collection-Writings/dp/0804831866/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1309845412&sr=1-2 Peace

Muhammad was supposedly a mystic. He meditated in a cave for many days and supposedly came in direct communion with god. -If he can commune with god why not everyone else? That is a great question.
