The most powerful Qigong exercise you've experienced
RiverSnake replied to DaoChild's topic in General Discussion
Part of Gift of the Tao 2: Sequential Energy Center Activation and Dimensional Expansion. My energy gets thicker doing this than any other exercises I have tried. Note: I only have experience with 2 systems, Michael's and The Way of Energy by Lam Kam Chuen. My 2 cents, Peace -
How do you surrender yourself to whatever your doing?
RiverSnake replied to TheExaltedRonin's topic in Daoist Discussion
You have to be joyful about what your doing. What do you love and fnd joy in doing? When you find that....do that....then develop concentration....concentrate so fiercely and joyfully on what your doing that the world falls away like noise in the background and your Will and your Joy become merged in a loving dance of life. My 2 cents, Peace -
She does says some quite controversial things regarding other formalized systems. Likely to piss a lot of people off. My 2 cents, Peace

I found this to be an excellent podcast on some fundamental tips and safety precautions when pursuing evocation. Very good stuff: http://deeper-down-the-rabbit-hole.com/2014/02/bonus-episode-stephanie-connolly-andrieh-vitimus-talk-safety-magical-30-challenge/ My 2 cents, Peace

Chi Kung is an example of an internal alchemical practice. It refines Jing/Sexual Energy to a subtler state and gradually expands consciousness as a result. This is a very basic exercise for circulating energy, ofcouse there are others as well. Practice daily. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gr5MkMLyoeI My 2 cents, Peace

You need to get an internal alchemical practice. Retaining shouldn't be frustrating and feeling like you have to hold back. It may begin like this....but it's important to go beyond this and simply dwell in the void or to say practice mental celibacy. Thus all of your energies are constantly being refined. Trust me, it's worth dedicating the time to an alchemical practice. My 2 cents, Peace

Had some interesting experiences recently with S-M. Stream of lifght flowin up through my body while also saturating me with chi..hesitating at my forehead.....but when I released the rest of my wayward thoughts and surrender it jumped past my forehead and enveloped me completely. Doing some basic concentration exercise are really helping with my nei-gong work and keeping my focus on the LDT. The more stable your awareness on the LDT the more efficient the energetics seem to be. My 2 cents, Peace

Recently saw this cover on Time magazine regarding mindfulness training. Documented lots of studies regarding mindfulness and its benefits. It's good to see it get attention. And that it is being presented from a more technological and secular viewpoint is interesting.....but makes sense. Religion has failed society.....so it's better to share meditation from a technological viewpoint. http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,2163560,00.html http://sfinsight.org/MindfulRevolutionTIME.pdf My 2 cents, Peace

The Truth About Spiritual Healing Methods & Placebo
RiverSnake replied to Wells's topic in General Discussion
Its kind of a win-win and win-lose situation that people don't believe in magic. If they did we'd probably have to live on the edge of the woods and hope people wouldn't be coming to try and burn our house down and hang us…..for whatever idiotic reason. My 2 cents, Peace -

I respectfully announce my resignation from the Dojo...
RiverSnake replied to Unseen_Abilities's topic in General Discussion
We can have emotional, psychological, and physical imbalances. These imbalances can be tied to the channels in our bodies. Blockages are like wrenches thrown into our energetic structure and when we have blockages in are system they can alter the way we express ourselves in many subtle and not so subtle ways. You said your having difficulty with excess aggression and felt it correct that you leave your dojo. This could be a potential wrench surfacing that is ready to be dissolved....thus why I said it would be worthwhile to look into this symptom of expression directly. There are many ways of doing this. Good to hear your taking matters into your own hands though. My 2 cents, Peace -
Been having some experiences lately in this area....but take this advice with a grain of salt as my experiences are limited to my level of understanding. In regards to your question I would say you need to open the channels in the lower body and the upper body so energy can flow both ways. Do stretches for the hips and legs and make sure your back is clear. This can be quite a long and extensive process depending on how much time you train. Be able to do a perfect split. My 2 cents, Peace

RiverSnake replied to Unseen_Abilities's topic in General Discussion
Imbalances and blockages are lost power waiting to be reclaimed. It is worth looking into the source and dissolving these unhealthy patterns. Best of luck and im digging the new profile pic, cool skeleton. My 2 cents, Peace -
Elves, Bigfoots (faeries, elementals) and related strange creatures.
RiverSnake replied to GrandmasterP's topic in Esoteric and Occult Discussion
I have only finished reading the 2nd chapter of this book and it has impacted me in a very deep way. My love grows deeper with every page I turn. If you have a heart you should read this book. I did the basic water meditation at the beginning of the book....it's impacted me in ways I do not yet fully understand. I thank Mr. Mistele from the bottom of my heart for sharing his experiences with these spirits. My 2 cents, Peace
