Before the New Year starts devote one day to Fasting from Anger and Resentment. Meditate instead on the qualities of Forgiveness for Yourself and Others.

I can tell you that Dr. Glenn Morris did research on his students and found that IQ was raised by 10 or so points. I forget the actual number but it was significant. Since his students were college age or educated I think that points to the "smartening" effect of k. What k site were you at? Most practices with k out there are really lacking in teaching rooting. Also many people who think there k is awake are really just having pranic rushes. Being in bliss and be rooted is a practice for sure. My task to learn for next year is to stay in samadhi and hold down a job. A lot of esoteric knowledge is downloaded. Great term down loaded cause that is what it feels like. It may not be instantly accessible but it does start to stream out into my life. Awareness becomes more acute. Books that I couldn't understand before or even read became readable. Some claim to have academic knowledge downloaded. I am not one of them. Bliss is addictive. It's one of those sidetracks along the path that must be managed. Memory... I have a great one. It's scary good but the mind seems to ignore stuff that it doesn't think is important. In what I mean is that what is stored is filtered differently. For example, what some people think is so important is not to me. Memory weakness is a function of poor kidney chi whether you have k or not. K is harsh on the adrenals and can lead to post traumatic stress disorder if one doesn't take care of themselves. It's because k stimulates adrenaline release and puts into action the fight or flight response. Parasympathetic activities...like chanting, prayer, meditation, making love, group communion will help balance out this adrenaline fueled fight or flight response. But adrenaline is the bodies own crystal meth and it is addictive.

yes...both sexes...definately.. feel orgasmic continuously. in fact, i do doubt someone saying their kundalini is awakened unless they have had a period or periods of spontaneous intense sexual arousal. being alive is orgasmic. when kundalini awakes it rejuvenates the endocrine system so it is common to start feeling sexual along with the process. It is not just "oh...i feel sexy today." it's more like ' oh. my. god...if i don't have sex right now i am going to explode!" it is not uncommon for the sexual feeling to become absolutely overwhelming when the lower centers and/or the lower dan tien gets activated. so what one sees can be hypersexual behavior/feelings in the newly awakened. there is nothing wrong with that unless one has a code of ethics or a moral code they live by. Then it can be a distressing phenomenon to the new kundalite and the people around them. it also makes for interesting interactions among the maturely developed. it's very pleasant to stand next to each other. this is where sexual tantra training can be helpful in learning to manage living with kundalini. it can also side track one along the path into the sexual garden of delights. one can visit but evolution stops if one takes up permanent residence. depletion doesn't seem to be a problem like it is for non awakened people. in fact, men have reported to me they don't get that tiredness like they used to after sex. this is not in all cases, but a generalization in healthy men. they may take ejaculation down to once a week. its a personal preference in the mature kundalite. They might not have an erection all the time...or as one guy told me "an erection that could cut glass" but the orgasmic feeling remains and becomes a subtler backdrop for all of life. "blue balls" is also not uncommon and you will hear of men doing head stands to drain themselves and relieve the discomfort. fortunately, the physiological aspects for men calm down as time goes on somewhat but it is highly individual and a matter of personal self management. women can also have lots of sex without getting depleted. In fact, what i feel like after a marathon weekend is like an energy hangover...like i ate too much chocolate cake and I can't eat one more bite. we call it an energy hangover or a shakti hangover in the crowd i run with. not tired or exhausted ...just had too much. i need a couple of days then doing something else because it's like i am in neural overload. it can be even more intense when it is sex with the opposite gender who k is awake. i haven't had sex with a non k person for a long time. what is interesting to note is having sex with someone who is not awake can be not as satisfying because the dimensions of energy play are not as exciting or intimate. not for all but definately down the road for those who have lived with kundaini for a few years. the whole body for awhile just feels like one big gspot. it is not unusual for women to have spontaneous cervical orgasms. that eventually fades too as we become accustomed to the hypersensitivity our bodies are developing. the classic practice is to sublimate the energy and use it for further transformation. This can be as simple as letting it flow up the back and out the crown or the third eye. women seem not to need to do that like men do as a practice. the flow just seems to develop naturally. i never did it and thought it was ridiculous until i realized men are different in this than women. men can't handle the power voltage as well as women. or one can take up sports or throw oneself into a creative activity like painting or music to sublimate. this is all part and package of increasing all over sensitivity in all our senses and faculties. this will happen with a chi kung or yoga practice to some effect but it still does not compare. those practices just really clean out the pipes in preparation for running high performance fuel. it is like comparing gasoline to nuclear power. our bodies were designed to have awakened kundalini. the body actually likes it . it is the mind and entrenched belief systems that reject kundalini. i tell people that awakening kundalini is like getting out of a minivan and stepping into a Ferrari. You also have to know how to do more than start the car and put your foot on the accelerator. i have said many times that it is not hard to awaken kundalini. what is hard is learning to let it settle in the body and live with it. that can take years depending on the individual. for me... i think of orgasms as shaking the body, drop to your knees, groaning out loud, maybe yelling to something that is very quiet that has some mild pelvic rocking. what happens to me is all those physical signs are toned down...but the pure pleasure remains. I have to filter it down or I will be embarrassing myself in public. There was a time when I couldn't filter it and stayed in the house a lot.

This is different from the DVD that I bought from Master Duan in Beijing. He has 'cut the blanket' with wuji productions for reasons that have to do about not respecting the teacher. They are, according to his words from his mouth to my ear, are no longer authorized to teach his wuji qigong style. Having said that I don't know what this wuji prod is about. I imagine, unless you are into the really finer details of practice and lineage, it won't make much difference.

practice vs belief not what i read on the internet or on a discussion forum what i read in a book so if it feels true and is so logical it must be true what ever one else is parroting saying wow...what a radical concept

Shen ling or ling shen...i have heard it both ways... is roughly correlated to the Christian term called the Holy Spirit. now..taomeow...are you stirring things up here?...dao forbid spiritual gets talked about on a doaist forum

hahahahahahahaha then what would there be for people to bitch about?

you funny i love thread killers kudos to you and sundragon

well...i don't drink coffee ... I have caffinated tea only on weekends...i don't take any herbal stimulants. i already take zinc and magnesium. i take 3-5 gms of vit c a day (when I remember to take it)..i take a dose of about 70+mg a day of iron (anemic) i got the dark chocolate thing down real good i dont smoke no transfats or polyunsaturated fats no birth control pills or anti depressants i don't do anything but keigels/ pc pumping without an exercise device. it probably would help i am sure but I have never had kids. I have a good "grip" i am told. visual stim using porn never really works for me... ...i love the feel of male energy cause it is very sweet and sensual to me...the more yang the better because my energy is so polarized yin...so i tend to hang out with younger men and often they are martial artists...thats not the only reason the men in my life tend to be younger but its a good one. And younger men like to hang out with me cause my energy is intense and it makes them feel good. they get the buzz back. Men tend to get more yin as they grow older unless they have some kind of internal development program in place. men who are older but who have a kick ass internal energy cultivation and/or are masters of esoteric martial arts give me quite a buzz too. yoga guys tend to be too "soft" in their energy the whole universe~world feels bliss/orgasmic to me 24/7. I have to dial it down to function in this 3D reality or it would be pelvic rocking and moaning all the time. So to be having multiple orgasms throughout the day is not for me anymore. I did have a period where I would have such strong physical orgasms 24/7 that it would drop me to my feet in stores and other public places. What I want to point out is the reason I do the things above is because that is what makes the kundalini in my body "happiest". I think it is interesting to point out that your program is facilitatory to the kundalini process and would be a good thing to prescribe for awakening kundalites. I think the fatty acids are a great addition to anyone who wants to work on their k development just because they help with maintaining the myelin sheath on nerves which facilitate communication in the body. Kundalites go through a "rewiring" of their nervous system so this supplement helps. It is like the nerves are being upgraded to carry more the more refined energy and the higher voltage of k.

Master Duan is not the russian guy. Master Duan is native chinese and over 90 years old. I have no idea who the russian is. So no I can't help you with Russian guy. The video I posted is not the russian guy video. I did not post the russian guy video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sw-aDENlHWA this is duan's video the info i posted will help you find and study with Master Duan, not russian guy. Ask Santi about the Russian guy. He is very well connected internationally into knowing people who may help you find that person or someone like him. Or you could study with Santi agharta and I were discussing Master Duan, not the russian.

I already eat like that and have for years. I get sick if I eat too many refined carbs. Who I am and my abilities perplex and frustrate a lot of the traditionalists of internal energy cultivation because I eat a lot of meat or a diet that is contrary to what is thought is necessary to attain a high level of realization and/or internal energy cultivation as some call it. I don't think of myself as a self realizer at all but others think I am. I am just a practicing human being. *shrug* My diet follows weston price principles for many years. I do eat organic as much as possible. I am trying to add more non starchy veggies to my diet but I am basically an unimaginative veggie eater. My diet is guided by what the kundalini wants me to eat. I don't always listen and then I get sick and nauseated if I deviate from my hard core carnivore diet. Most grains make me ill if I don't eat them sparingly. Probably have a gluten allergy or something in there. I was vegan once...once for three months before my kundalini woke up. My internal body temperature became so cold I would have the chills being outside in the hot florida summer sun. I would go and sit in the Gulf of Mexico to warm up. I once taught at a Zen monastery for a weekend and the diet was all organic vegetarian. It meant I had to take a nap after every meal because of the grains. Not good when you have to be available for students. http://www.westonaprice.org/

Its working for me. what is cheapest is not an issue and this brand also has CLA isomers which is important to me. Is that something I get in straight fish oil too?. I am not an expert in it for sure.

These side effects are more common than uncommon. Do keep a journal because one day you won't believe that you were the person you once were.

correct... chinese language contains about 56, 000 characters although maybe only 3000 are used in modern times. http://www.omniglot.com/writing/chinese.htm we have 26 in english. like comparing analog to digital much nuance is lost when we move between english and chinese so it is important to look at things in context and also to use subjective impression to get to what is the heart of what is written

Just go out and stand under a full moon. Visualize your self as a conduit between the moon and earth and watch the moonlight flow between you and the earth. Then you can prove this for yourself if you have any ability to feel energy at all. You can absorb and eat the "moon cream". I find it very powerful.

I charge for my time regardless of what I am teaching. I have heard all these arguments before. Nice to talk about but doesn't play out it in the real world. It is an individual, case by case basis, on what to charge or not charge people who have no money. I have no interest in changing the way I do business. IMO, if more people ran their lives like a responsible small business owner there would be more accountability and better results in their lives. Notice I said small business owner and not like a multinational corporation. To say they are just alike in theory is naive. Make up your own business model on how you want to teach. Do what works and what conforms to your personal ethics. Otherwise we waste our time talking about how to do it instead of actually doing it.

Fatty acids also help smooth the development of kundalini. Kundalini develops along the spinal cord and into the brain and along the nervous system. The brain is about 70% fat so it is important to have the right kind of fats in your diet. The marrow of your bone is almost pure fat and is greasy like butter when it is cooked. Roasted Beef marrow is quite tasty to on toast. http://www.fi.edu/learn/brain/fats.html Here's what fatty acid supplement I take. I can take 4 pills instead of about 20. http://www.tmuscle.com/productInfo.do?id=910074

He teaches in Beijing. He is Chinese but travels around the world teaching. He teaches Wuji Qigong, Tuina, TCM, Bagua, Kung Fu, herbs, etc. He is not Russian. I went over to see him as part of a study trip after being certified in Medical Qigong. You will need a Chinese translator since he only speaks a little bit of baby English. You contact the people here and they might be able to give you his contact info. People from all over the world just go over there and study with him on their own. http://www.medicalqigong.org/directory_academic.htm My guide to there was Dr. Bernard Shannon who is the executive director of the school for Medical Qigong and chairman of the National Board of Directors of the National Qigong Association. He is a personal student of Master Duan and one of the very few people who are authorized to teach Wuji or Primoridal Wigong. Bernard or "boss" as I call him is a busy guy teaching around the world and one of the nicest, smartest, warmest people you would ever want to meet. He is big chi beast as I call them. We chowed down on a few ducks together in Beijing. (Don't get much meat as a main dish in China and one gets really hungry for it with all the cultivation you do.) Any question that people have about chi and medical qigong...like is chi real? or can you push people with chi from a distance? and all the other basic questions people ask on this board...he can answer and demonstrate. good luck tobacco. I also sat at dinner with him at the table and he enjoyed his 150 proof rice wine. He was on no special diet and recommended none for cultivation unless an illness was present then he would prescribe herbs and food. Those who have very strong cultivation skills can eat what they want for they are strong enough to transform chi. No such thing really as organic foods from the store or even much food safety as you can see from the scandals on milk production over there.

They are a joy to behold and be in their presence. His students called him "sneaky bastard" during sparring. His smile is absolutely full of good chi and love. I can feel it projected through the video and I saw the video about a year before I met him in Beijing. I am no martial artist. I went to him to get additional medical qigong training and learn wuji qigong. You could put your hand on his back and feel the energy running between heaven and earth. I assisted him in one treatment using Tuina that lowered the patient's blood pressure. I also saw other pains and such go away. He is a bundle of qi and love and adores teaching. A fascinating man who would often spontaneously break out in song or start dancing while smoking his pipe.

Well said... Personally, I would not believe anything just because it is on you tube. I go and meet the guy. Master Duan can do this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sw-aDENlHWA I stood in one room with a door closed. He was 30 feet away out in the hall and his chi projection made my body move in waves. I could give more examples that are done for combat/self defense that involve real life dangerous situations and not demonstrations between student and teacher. I no longer enjoy explaining such basics to the curious especially on an internet forum. It is like talking to someone who can't conceive the world is actually round. This is something that must be demonstrated in person before judgment is passed. Its a waste of my time otherwise. All the basics can be learned in an afternoon with a good teacher if your cultivation skills have been effective. The more dramatic stuff like bouncing people around the room without touching them takes maybe a year or less of practice if your teacher is good. Those with really good cultivation skills could pick it up in a few minutes. Children pick up on this stuff easily. It's the adults that have a hard time breaking entrenched belief systems to become adept at it. And, it is just a side show attraction on the way.

That's why I put the book pages there. That is an in depth discussion of those terms and about qi with diagrams to explain the relationships. the book is three inches thick weighs about 2 pounds or more and difficult to keep open while i type. Shen Ling supernatural spirit. Surrounds the Dao with an infinite number of Shen Ling Shen Xian eternal soul The component of the Shen Ling that reincarnates Zhi Yi Tian Will and Intent of Heaven The eternal soul must past through the Zhi Yi Tian in order to become a Yuan Shen or (human soul) Yuan Shen Original Spirit. Yang aspect of human soul that is absorbed into the egg upon conception Shen Zhi acquired spirit Yin aspect of human soul that is expressed as a temporary acquired personality. The human soul is composed of three bodies: jing, shen, and qi which are linked together and constantly influencing each other.

Energy blockages manifest in the physical as symptoms like pain, stiffness, swelling, heat and cold. Chi is the body is created by food, sunlight and oxygen. Speaking from a medical viewpoint I would say most physical healing using energy happens because the capillaries open up bringing more oxygen and micronutrients to the damaged area.

Balance my dear, balance. Who is in control? You or the desire? No problem with masturbation. Masturbation is documented to keep the prostate healthy. Dr. Morris was/is a salty old bastard who loves women. I don't think there is anything wrong with masturbation. And, yes, you can use it for kundalini development. I should have been clearer, that men who masturbate to excess and illness using porn...need help. I said LOSER for it's shock value as a lot of woman would say. It's equivalent of knocking some one up the side of the head and saying, "WAKE UP!" Balance...

Ability and skill is just a measure of ability and skill. One must look at other things. Look at how children and animals are around this person. Are they frightened? Do they avoid? How do they treat their family? Their students? Do you feel better after leaving their presence or do you feel a sense of disquiet? Their wei chi field should have a favorable effect on you...make you feel brighter, clearer, more energetic,remove blocks...you may even feel accepted and loved. My students comment on this aspect of my energy field also. It is not an admission of ego to tell you this. This is a natural part of my development. Look at the students. Are they generally happy overall? Do they tend to get along or want to help each other or is their fighting and competition in an unhealthy manner? Do you feel like they are part of a family? Does the teacher smile and laugh a lot? Are they not easily offended? Do they easily share "secrets" or are they close fisted? They may have less ability and skill than some others but you will learn more from some one who has a heart centered approach to practice. You can learn the basics of becoming sensitive to energy and internal cultivation which will serve you when you have learned what you can and it is time to move on. You will be a reflection of your teachers so choose wisely.

This is an old game, yes? To create drama to suck energy out of it in order to feel alive? This is very common human condition. Most run their lives on it rather than looking within to find their connection to Energy. And yes...it is difficult to feel frustration and anger when the source of such discontent is known. I still need practice not be drawn into these drama games. I have a lot to learn.
