Welcome to the forum Lila.

Getting a bit better at sleeping neigong. Its fun being super slippery with chi in the morning, but one thing I've noticed is a tendency towards feeling dehydrated and burnt out in the morning. I've taken the precaution of drinking a bit of water before going to sleep and that helps a bit. You guys know any other tips and trick for the sleeping practice to better help with these side effects......as well as any general tips for the sleeping practice?

Please Help Me Figure This Manifestation Thing Out!
RiverSnake replied to DreamBliss's topic in General Discussion
While i disagree with you on various points Yasjua......mainly being that you have no power over your life. Thanks for sharing. As someone whom does a bit of divination (in an amateur capacity)I can say from experience that I've been in situations where things were suppose to happen and didn't as a result of personal effort of the individual. Life and how we experience it is a great deal more malleable than most people think....IMO. Do we have NO control.....do we wave ALL control.....I think its somewhere in the middle. -

Manifestation is bullshit? If that was true then you wouldn't exist. Right? -

Indeed, in person teaching is best. Was wondering if anyone had experiences with his methods though? -

Anyone ever toyed around with some of Rufus Opus's material? He's releasing a newly revised book on the spheres through Nephilheim soon. http://headforred.blogspot.com/2014/11/planetary-gates-of-seven-spheres.html#gpluscomments -
Very cool. Thanks for sharing your experiences Source.

Success in life. What is this? Has it anything to do with being happy?
RiverSnake replied to thelerner's topic in General Discussion
Been hitting some pretty intense periods of bliss in my practice lately. Although it feels great to be happy and bursting into tears of joy for no reason....what I've interestingly found is that I am more fond of regular states of peace and equanimity rather than Bliss. May sound counter intuitive for some. Thought it an interesting insight in terms of its overarching relation to life and how most people are obsessed with achieving "positive states". -
Your response reminds me of a part from Path Notes by Glenn Morris. He equates emptiness meditation as a kind of brain scrub in which you gradually dissolve your inherited social nonsense. "You want a quite, smooth-running brain that allows easy access to what is stored there. A Cadillac engine of the mind. You don't want a sleepy, moody, ignorant, slow, or jerky brain with bad memory as a result of not knowing how to do basic preventative maintenance. It's time to change the oil!! I'll bet you're still clinging to useful thoughts like 2+2=4 even though you had the principles pat for years." Path Notes of an America Ninja Master by Glenn Morris.

A useful technique I've appropriated from Jacki Smith recently is basically asking yourself a question and spitting out the first answer your subconscious mind gives. The idea is to say it right away so your conscious mind doesn't filter it for a "prettier" answer. Used it with great success in combination with some recent soul readings I did with my deck and the Sedona method. Picked up the trick on DDTRH. Have fun. http://deeper-down-the-rabbit-hole.com/2011/07/episode-17-guest-jacki-smith-techniques-candle-magic/

I was practicing with another tree in my backyard recently. Then i got pulled over to the other tree that had been injured. I greeted it and didn't notice any resistance this time. I hadn't planned on doing any healing work on the tree that day....but i just let my body be moved. I noticed i started doing healing movements much like when i am working on a person and i just rolled with it allowed the energy to show me where to go. It was an interesting experience. Approached it again today and it still seemed a bit fragile but better. Took one of its broken branches and planted it. Started working with another tree in my front yard. Its funny, when i first greeted him it was like "Who?, What?, Huh?"....but at soon as i started practicing it was like "awesome lets practice!!" Thought that was funny. Anyways that's my field report. Peace

It was a decent book that I was able to pick up a few gems from regarding the entity itself. I most enjoyed the passages by Rufus Opus, Jason Miller and Michael Cecchetelli. Out of all the contributions only one selection made my eyes glaze over like a tired snail and I just skipped it. But overall it was a good collection that I enjoyed and found insightful to a noob like myself. Felt the need to pass it on to others whom can pick up a few gems from its pages.
