  2. Stillness-Movement Qigong & Qi Projection

    I agree with this summation. The more you do the better one gets like in any activity. The more one is exposed or immersed in a chi gung or kundalini field the more it accelerates the process of the student's development. I think it is important to note that we as human beings are designed for this activity. The body likes energy cultivation regardless if it's chi or kundalini. What is happening is the practice harmonzies the body's energies which makes the body healthier. Living a life on this planet under most circumstances creates disharmony of energetic flow. Because it is so prevalent people think that disharmony is normal and harmony is bizarre and unscientific. I have seen in my experience that those who have an authentic internal cultivation program like yoga or chi gong, the kundalini process takes hold much faster and deeper. The channels are cleared and primed for handling higher, more concentrated flow of energy. The potential of kundalini syndrome is lessened due to these practices. I once was describing my kundalini awakening experience to a Hsing-I master. He said if I had been a student of a traditional chinese master I would have caused my teacher to lose face because my awakening was so out of control and dramatic. I asked him how long does it take for a kundalini awakening to happen in a chinese system. He said the process takes 3 years and avoids all the drama of an awakening of my type. I was speaking to a yoga master about how long it takes with practice he also said 3 years. The 3 years seems to be for to make the awakening slow and controlled with the least amount of drama and upheaval as possible.
  3. Stillness-Movement Qigong & Qi Projection

    Yes, sinusoid movement and dampening is very common. I also still move in this manner if I relax the microtension I hold in my body to keep the energy flow manageable. If I opened all the stops I would be bouncing all over the place all the time.
  4. Stillness-Movement Qigong & Qi Projection

    Nice video. My auric vision is not good. Santi is much better. I have more of an internal, medical intuitive vision. Energy moves in spirals, Biff. One only need to look at nature to see this, from the arms of the galactic spirals, to tornadoes to whirlpools. This accounts for the snake like movements associated with kundalini flow. The snake like movement is a representation of a perspective that is looking on a 2D plane. Kundalini/chi actually moves in a three d plane that is a spiral but sometimes the body just moves from side to side. It is easier to see the movement in 3d plane when the practitioner is sitting which allows the spine to rotate on the pelvis as an axis. Think of looking down into a coil or slinky. The spine/central channel is the axis around which the energy moves. If we think of a human being as a nexus point between heaven and earth...energy flows from earth to heaven and back again in a spiral form along different lines which look linear. In a mature practitioner there is an awareness of the multiple lines of energy that move in and out of the body using the central channel as axis. Think of a sphere that is a representation of a set of all points. Energy spirals out into space creating the sphere. The dimensions of the sphere are infinite. One might call our wei chi fields or auric fields such an ever expanding sphere. Those who have mature development can feel and play out the "surface" of the ever expanding sphere. All people have this infinite nature but few bother to learn and cultivate this awareness or learn how to use this in service. I have attached a pdf that is a "greatest hits" compilation of discussions on k development from me, El Collie, Dr. Glenn Morris, Sifu Dan Ferrara, Santiago and some of my senior students that have been collected over the last 10 or so years. Since most of us are empirical researchers on Kundalini and have full kundalini development you will find that there will be contradictions with established written literature on k development which are often written by people who don't have awakened kundalini. The established literature usually does not recognize the cross cultural universal nature of kundalini found in all major spiritual traditions. Classical lit tends to be hindu centric and non-inclusive of other appearances of k in human beings in other continents. All human beings have the potential for k development. note at about 1:17 where you start seeing a macroversion of energy movement . This is a good vid that shows what K development is like. These types of spontaneous movements from chi are not unusual nor is it unusual to see them come from the touch of a master. Kundalini and chi are both energy but they are not the same thing. What differentiates the two generally is the chi can be moved by the mind but kundalini can not. Chi has a natural or nature wisdom about it's flow. Kundalini is often referenced as a Divine Wisdom that will countermand the directions of the human mind. It is really not fruitful to map kundalini development and chi development over one another. One can make comparisons but cultural difference prevents exact mapping. The closest we have to it is the Greater Kan and Li of Nei Shen Gung Fu. One can also use the 5 tibetans or the golden flower meditations as a comparison. A caveat: We are talking about subtle energies here. A student must be fairly open and relaxed to feel such movement and transmission regardless of who is the transmitter. People who are resistant to feeling energy flow or discounting the presence of chi or kundalini are the least influenced by these kinds of transmissions. Ironically, they are also the loudest in protestations of SHOW ME! demanding proof and are very smug in declaring, "I didn't feel anything!" The tragedy is their energy body has become desensitized over the years and must be retrained. But the iron grip of their mind won't let that happen. This kind of person does best training with a patient master in person, but, alas, they are convinced the world must be demonstrated to them on their own term and never seek out such specialized training. Speaking from my own experiences and training. Your maya may vary, Susan Points to consider on the path.(2).pdf

  7. Glenn Morris's Meditation Mastery Series

    The MM series was written by Dr. Morris, Santiago Dobles, and Dr. John Porter. Santiago produced these CDs with Glenn in Florida and Santiago owns all the masters. All these meditations are given and practiced in KAP. You are given videos and audios to do the practice with the class plus personal instruction. If you wait long enough Santiago was thinking about giving the series away for a donation to a reputable charity. You might ask him about that. PM vajrasattva on this list. s
  8. Disturbing conclusion

    so here's the honest deal...i know men like you...of all different ages they make my skin crawl... my wei chi feels dirty and invaded if they come in contact with it so I usually turn away before they can get close enough they believe they are so right in their position that nothing that anyone says can make them change their mind i can think of one man in particular who was continually raped by his mother when he was a child when he gets in near proximity to me...his aggressive neediness feels like someone is crushing me under a ton of bricks. it leaves me exhausted and feeling panicky and terrified... fortunately I have strong, balanced male friends who support me... he refuses to get help cause he knows better than anyone else and he thinks I am the one who is oppressing him and I am the bad person cause I won't help him. He blames me because I won't let him cross my boundaries at the risk of my own personal health and sanity. Why, because to me it feels like rape. Almost evey woman on this planet has been raped or been close to being raped at least once in her life. Women want to feel safe with a man not be afraid they are going to be sucked dry or physical harmed. Your aggressive neediness is scary to women. those are the qualities of the vampire...one feels exhausted, drained, sucked dry of energy in transactions with themfor they do not respect boundaries. and we have been manipulated and shamed by the vampire because we can't do what they want us to perform...quite a bit different than someone who honestly needs some help and will listen to some instruction so honestly, you are an unconscious vampire... you come to this board asking questions over and over again..that have the same theme... no one understands me women hate me i need help but I can't get it but you all don't know how to help me so i am going to tell you why you can't help me so you are all responsible for my sufferring translates into feed me feed me feed me feed me feed mefeed me feed me feed me feed me feed mefeed me feed me feed me feed me feed mefeed me feed me feed me feed me feed mefeed me feed me feed me feed me feed mefeed me feed me feed me feed me feed mefeed me feed me feed me feed me feed mefeed me feed me feed me feed me feed mefeed me feed me feed me feed me feed mefeed me feed me feed me feed me feed mefeed me feed me feed me feed me feed mefeed me feed me feed me feed me feed mefeed me feed me feed me feed me feed me this is an energy vampires game so since the only way to stop it is to stop giving vampires energy...and one way to do is to stop listening to them last post on this I am going to make on this subject
  9. Disturbing conclusion

    Taobums is not therapy. Many have tried to tell you that over the past several months that I have been a member. You don't even listen to what people have tried to share with you. Pretty good well rounded advice I have heard so far and all you do is pick it apart and reject it out of hand. Time to drop the "poor me" act. Speaking as a female your vibe is awful and frightening. I almost didn't respond because you just keep spewing more and more ugliness that feels just like a slap in my face to me. For making statements like this women have called the police because they are scared of this. No wonder no woman wants to talk to you. Love and honor yourself first instead of all this self hate. Until you do you will remain stuck in your victimhood and self pity. That is the worst chick repellant on this planet. Your sense of entitlement will be the death of you not because you project your hate on half the population of the world. You really need professional help. Stop making excuses about how bad all therapists and therapies are because that is typical of people who don't want to change their behavior. There are plenty of good therapists out there. Best to find one before the court system has to mandate one for you. You will only attract females in your life who meet your level of self esteem and self acceptance. The fact that you loathe women is a walking advertisement that you are full of self loathing.You may think you don't loathe women but your whole conversations say otherwise. If women misunderstand you it is not the woman's job to make sure communication is clear. Don't blame us for your ineptitude to make yourself heard or understood. Stop whining and do something about your situation. And I say that with the kindest intent.
  10. OCD

    When I start having problems like this it means my spleen is getting damp and my liver is getting a little tight. Acupuncture works wonders. when I get off the table I am a brand new woman! Spleen negative attribute is worry, compulsiveness. It's virtue is trust. Liver negative attribute is anger, resentment. It's virtue is kindness, compassion. It is also the organ considered the General and it wants to wrest control away from the Heart (the Emperor) which it's negative attribute is hysteria but it's virtue is order. One must learn to have trust in oneself as well as kindness and compassion to self.Bring order (feng shui) to your emotions. Then it is much easier to reflect those inner virtues out to the world and it's citizens. Meditation works but it's a big committment and if you want relief now get acupuncture. Then use meditation as a preventative to change the way you perceive yourself in the world. Also use the 5 healing sounds which I am sure someone here can tell you or link you to that. good luck PS...speaking as a nurse from a western perspective....OCD is the body mind's way to lessen guilt and anger by repetitive motion. "If i keep busy, I won't have to think about what I did or what happened to me even if I don't consciously know what that is."
  11. Awakening Kundalini 101

    we do it old school too. Mass awakening with kundalini is not unheard of... it is called the baptism of the Holy Spirit in Christian circles. K awakening is a cross cultural phenomenon but is called by other names in major spiritual traditions. Love and grace is something for nothing.. a gift that is not earned. buddha breath, secret smile, and MCO are ancient techniques...thousands of years old feel the love
  12. Awakening Kundalini 101

    The difficulties in defining Kundalini Once it is awake these questions will not be so important. It is like describing a kiss to someone who has never been kissed before. You just got to go do it and find out for yourself. Although a sanskrit word is used to describe kundalini this does not mean that k is the provenance of that culture. It is a cross cultural phenomenon present in all major spiritual traditions all over the world. The higher one goes up in those traditions the more they start to look the same and access the same energies. To say one has a handle on what kundalini does and is (without having an authentic process) ...it is like putting the Tao in a box and saying, "there.. I know all about it." As I have written before: " Kundalini Shakti is an intelligent, creative energy shrouded in mystery and misconceptions since ancient times. It's a normal process for self-development that can be activated by specific proven techniques. This is the ultimate self-empowerment practice. Historically, therapies, self-help groups, and self-improvement classes work from effecting change from the outside in. Awakening your own kundalini will ignite an internal, biological, inside out process that effects permanent change." In continuing to use non sectarian words, the purpose of kundalini is to heal the split in the body mind spirit matrix, to create a natural human being who lives in spontaneous harmony with the universe and not in a knee jerk reaction. awakening: to come out of sleep. Kundalini is said to lay dormant at the base of the spine till awakened by different means to start it's ascent. In KAP one is using specific empirically proven practices drawn from different cultural traditions for the purpose of awakening kundalini.

    Nice. Good work. Do feel free to contact me or Santi off list if there are some things that you don't feel comfortable talking about publically.
  14. Awakening Kundalini 101

    awesome... all that anyone needs to awaken k on their own is in that quote...it is the bare basics, no frills, do it yourself, generic approach... YMMV
  15. Awakening Kundalini 101

    90 days. Some will say 3-6 months. not as hard as you think but one does not have to be a complete master of these processes before they bring results. You can if you want spend time mastering them. With a teacher that should take a very short time. Your body wants to do these processes. It likes those processes. doing this on your own is achieve able and will bring results. many, many (100s) have done so. what determines more than anything the ease of the awakening is in what state is your physical/emotional bodies and your attitude. also that and regular practice as I have stated above. the less "pure" your bodies the more difficulty you will have...the more resistant and "I know better than anyone else" attitude the more difficult the process remain non attached and view ones self as a science experiment remain amused and try not to take one's self too seriously have fun and keep playing
  16. Awakening Kundalini 101

    normal for moving energy...this clears out the emotional body... keep going, keep practicing

  18. Disturbing conclusion

    David Deida lets it rip in Byron Bay, bringing great humor, wisdom, and light to the perennial issues surrounding love, intimacy, sexuality, and spirituality. This 12 part series presents the entirety of the professionally produced video Spirit Sex Love, which offers a lively demonstration of David's teaching methods and an introduction to his teachings on sexuality, spiritual growth, and true intimacy. Something to consider. Let it sit with you without judgment, critical anaylsis...with a mind of learning and reception not a knee jerk reaction.
  19. ORMUS

    I have not ingested it. I have held a test tube of it in my hand. Based on my experiences, it flared up with energy in my hand and traveled up to about my elbow. The flash lasted about 30 seconds. I asked Dan Winter, sacred geometrist and expert in the physics of consciousness about it. (He was the one who put it in my hand.) He said ORMUS mimics and enhances the bodies own energy fields and so can give one a rush. But since it is artificially induced the effect is transient and can be addicting. This is not to say there are not good uses for it. I just share from my own experiences. Here is an interesting article on ORMUS from a paranormal observation. http://www.subtleenergies.com/ORMus/research/paranorm.htm

  21. Moon Phase and Menstruation

    I would agree since for most of my adult professional life as a Registered Nurse (now on about 25 years) I worked evening shift predominately. That would be 12 hours, 7pm to 7AM consistently for years. Sometimes I worked 18-20 hours a shift because of the nursing shortage. My reasons for doing so were fairly banal, a large shift differential (more money) and no management to bug me. It wasn't till I started making the change to a more normal sleep wake cycle in 2000 that I realized how much damage I had done to myself. When younger my strong prenatal chi carried me through. Now, I can't do the 70 to 82 work weeks like used to regularly. I also worked in critical care areas which are extremely high stress both physically, emotionally, and mentally. Life may have been different had I a regular practice of qigong but I didn't. What kept me doing that for so long was it was meaningful and intellectually challenging and I loved working with the kind of people that I did, both staff and patients. I specialized in the care of heart patients, those who had open heart surgery, heart attacks, etc. I would say if that type of feedback is not available in a job then with all the other stresses it is time to find a new line of work as soon as possible. To do something punishing with some kind of reward is less difficult than one without. Even saying that I eventually had to leave hospital nursing for about 8 years because the stress was killing me. It was probably killing me years earlier but I waited until symptoms of like PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) started showing it's face. If there are menstrual irregularities it most likely is from the effects of the stress. I am basing this statement on the assumption that organic internal causes have been ruled out. The role of stress cannot be significantly over played in women's hormonal effects. In my studies in infertility treatment by using adjunct treatments of herbs, acupuncuture, diet, etc. and in my conversations with some TCM practitioners and TCM docs women's hormone imbalances are effectively treated by TCM and medical qigong prescriptive therapies. One female acupuncturist from China that I have the privilege of knowing has told me privately that 100% of the women who come to her for infertility treatments will conceive within three months. For obvious reasons she cannot advertise that. This is if there is not a functional blockage like blocked fallopian tubes. She said "American women have too much stress." They often have what is called a "cold" uterus. So bringing balance and harmony to the body causes the body to become fertile. Acupuncture, herbs, diet, lifestyle modification work well. Prescriptive medical qigong will work also with herbs, diet, and lifestyle modification. Lifestyle modification includes adding meditation practice and change of environment and in relationships.
  22. Moon Phase and Menstruation

    The female deer exercises will stop menstruation. They regulate or "trick" the body into thinking it is pregnant and nursing. Once you read the link you below at UmaaTantra.com you will immediately know why if you know about hormonal feed back loop in females. There is a female abbott in China who teaches a two week class on the female mysteries on site at the monastery. I was going to go with a group of women and study with her but life intervened. You can get in contact with SIfu Bernard Shannon and ask him if he plans to take another group of women over there again in the future. The abbot objected to him going at first because he was male but since he was going to be the translator he was allowed to go. http://www.chinesewudangboxing.com/aboutus.htm Looking at the schedule of the school that he is head of I don't see it on his schedule this year but that does not mean it won't happen. I would write his school directly and ask if they plan to take a class to china to study the female mysteries again. Email [email protected] Request business-related information, such as class dates or content. He has someone else answer his email for him because his schedule is so busy but they will get back to you as soon as they can. for explanation and further info on female deer exercises: http://www.umaatantra.com/female_deer_exercise.html
