Awakened vs Enlightened... Let's discuss the difference
RiverSnake replied to qicat's topic in Newcomer Corner
Can't say i like labels at all. Let other people do the labeling, no need to put linear titles on oneself that you may or may not deserve. I also agree with rainbow, not enough options. -

Teachers who accept money vs. teachers who teach for free
RiverSnake replied to sillybearhappyhoneyeater's topic in Daoist Discussion
A balanced transaction between teacher and student is the key principle here. We can coat that transaction with many things (money, service, devotion....etc), as long as its balanced. Relationships cannot last long or be mutually beneficial if there is no balance. -

Feeling Energy in the lower tan tien ?

Feeling Energy in the lower tan tien ?
RiverSnake replied to Orgasmic19's topic in Daoist Discussion
As others have said, be careful with Chia, some of his techniques are stupid and dangerous. When you meditate on the dantien your basically pouring water into a cauldron until it overflows into the rest of the body on its own. You don't need to force the movement of chi into the other areas of the body with this technique...the overflow takes care of that. As you continue to grow in sensitivity you will feel chi everywhere in the body. This takes years of daily practice. I would advise you not to chase after sensations. -

If i go into a deep meditative state in which i have no thoughts and am simply residing in emptiness....does this mean i'm dead? Consciousness comes before thoughts IME.

Possible energy overload from a tai chi practice .
RiverSnake replied to Jambon's topic in Daoist Discussion
Keep the tip of your tongue to the roof of your mouth. This helps draw energy away from the head and enhance circulation in the energy body.
