Hello, I would be grateful to TTB tech team if I could be granted with a practice journal Thank you

Hi cat, I don't know how it goes in the US, but in Europe, besides the common essences/roots ( don't know the exact term for that in english) from which homeopathic remedies are prepared and that you can find anywhere, you can ask pharmacies to prepare special remedies based on the antibiotic substance you want to release (this is called _Isotherapy_ it triggers the body into releasing the harmful physical substances, and their energetic imprints). So you won't find it online...You may have to go to a pharmacy/laboratory that specializes into homeopathy. Of course the costs are higher for this type of remedy because there are prepared on demand. Hope it helps a bit! Fachao,

Hi ralis, I have just seen your thread. I am glad your are doing better. After your treatment you can take an homeopathic remedy prepared with the Clindamycin in high dilutions to clean your body, unless you nourish doubts against homeopathy Be well, fachao

Hello Sifu Garry, Thank you for all your contributions here in this thread. I hope you will be back soon or at least won't be too far away. I bow out of respect for the tremendous knowledge you have. Best, _/\_ Fachao

Hi cat, Here it is: Best, Fachao

Hello Sifu Dunn, I sincerely and wholeheartedly pray to God that you win your case._/\_ My 6 years old son has not seen the Dreamworks film (and won't). He likes a lot Zen-Bear character and often asks me to play your DVD to see it play with yin-yang ball. Happy New Year of the Metal Rabbit Fachao

Dear Bums, It might not be the best place to post this, but I think that some valuable Buddhists bums are in this registered here and can help. So please Taobums, accept my apologies. It seems to me that Tibetan masters don't have a life span superior to the average people although they have mastered the yogic practices of their tradition. Please don't read my post as a way of suggesting that Tibetan yogic practices are inferior to Taoists..I have high respect for both! _/\_ Am I making an error? If not, I am wondering whether it could be linked to the nature/aim of their yogic practice: - more directed at spiritual realizations than physical longevity? - taxing the physical level to nourish the spiritual level? Can anyone here share some insights about it? Thanks Fachao edited to clarify the content of my post and correct the wording

Hi Sifu Terry, Thank you for this wonderful quotation. Happy New Year to you also! Fachao edit for spelling

Happy New Year! please follow the link: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x15607_dont-worry-be-happy_music Blessing to all

Hi Taotao tano, You will find the answer to your question in the _Flying Phoenix Chi Kung_ thread. Sifu Terry Dunn has already answered it at least a couple of times. Although the thread is long, it is worth reading it entirely, you will find a lot of food for your practice. Have a nice day. Fachao

Hi Starjumper7, I am glad that you have found a good teacher and a good system. If conditions are met in several decades (taobum forum still exists, you and me and others still around) feel free to post ! Living testimonials are not so numerous. I wish you a long and meaningful life! I usually don't post a lot.Yes, we should all think twice (or preferably more) before pushing the wrong button (reply) for the wrong reason. Have a happy new year! Fachao

Hi TheSongsofDistantEarth, Yes, I know that. It is just that it all began because starting this thread, I gave birth to a new field/space and topic where a battle could and did take place. So, I feel some responsability: since I opened it, I can also suggest that people walk away from it if contributor's intentions are not good , and it only has the power of a suggestion. But,I have no problem with going on with it if it turns out to be a more constructive space.

Hi robmix, Thank you for your contribution.I had already seen in my web wanderings what you are referring to with your link. I am always impressed with this cases, and I am also a firm believer of the power of what qi manipulation can do (in chinese medicine or even in Feng Shui). To me this is not in question. It is just a matter of time and patience to see it plainly recognized. What I was questioning in this thread is longevity, i-e the ability to live longer than the average. This notion is anyway not easy to deal with because it lacks of clear scientific definition. But it doesn't damage to ask the question. Fachao

Hi ralis, I really understand your concern, and at some point I have the same, that's the reason why I asked. I don't necessarily buy everything I read, or hear. I think it is really a personal and subjective matter because it may be very difficult to really prove something. Almost everyone here knows the scientific studies about qigong benefiting health (for both prevention and cure to some extent). There are less about hatha-yoga, but it seems that it can help. But we are also aware of few people having practiced qigong or yoga for decades AND having cancer or life threatening diseases. Explaining clearly and in a rational way why may be hard work. One can mention karma, incorrect practice, low quality systems but in the end... As far as longevity is concerned, fear of death or illness is often here twisting one's judgment, not talking about all the other causes of biases. Fachao

Hi all, Thank you for your answers. @Vajrahridaya Your post is very interesting. Something to ponder over.. Best wishes, Fachao

Hi Forest of Emptiness, Thank you! Be well Fachao

Hi Dan, Could you tell us more about the experience you have with these practices? Thanks, Fachao

Hello Sifu Terry, Thank you very much for your answer. I am grateful for receiving your advice. I understand what you are saying. Your reference to St Hildegarde de Bingen is superb. My acupuncturist- who has a profound Christian faith- already told me that her works were very accurate. I guess that when one reaches some high level of contemplation, regardless of the tradition, one can access to the same high knowledge expressed in different ways. As for the kung-fu teacher,I will do my best. In the country where I live, I can't think of anyone so far who seems to have a strong lineage, but I will dig. Maybe in some nearby country but it will limit the possibility to learn. Anyway I am glad to be able to benefit from your guidance on this. I will definitely do my best to create opportunities to learn. Deep bows of gratitude, Fachao

Hello Sifu Terry, Thank you very much for taking the time and making the effort to give a complete answer. I am very grateful for that. There is no problem with what you call a "delay" in responding, everyone has his own schedule; so far so good ! Actually, I was not practicing special neigong explicitly based upon Taoist concepts/ mapping. I started with Sifu Lam Kam Chuen books (the Way of Energy) which doesn't emphazise in any specific breathing technique, guiding qi technique etc.. But I also have a book you might know called Qigong Empowerment by Master Shou Yu-Liang and Wen-Ching Wu. In this book, they give some techniques for microcosmic circulation (Xiao Zhou Tian) and macrocosmic circulation (Da Zhou Tian), extraordinary vessels circualtion etc... I have never attempted those kind of practice so far but I was wondering if they could be practiced alongside with FPCHM. The Taoist Cosmology is so rich and so fascinating! I recognize exactly my feeling in the word you have used: "celebrate". I have some religious feelings and sometimes feel frustrated in not been able to express them formally. I am in Europe quite far from any Taoist temple! I was just having a kind of romantic and deluded thought about having a practice in which I could enjoy both the map and the territory- which would give me an occasion to celebrate the beauty and profundity of Taoist Cosmology as far I have understood it. Let me know your thoughts, Warm regards, Fachao

Hello Sifu Terry, I was reading again the thread and this passage in one of your answers raises a question. I hope my question is not untimely. If so, feel free to discard it. GM Doo Wai makes a difference between what you called "standard" Taoist-Buddhist healing system and the FPCCM. The first one involves manipulating chi to cure a specific imbalance whereas FPCCM let the chi find its way to the areas where a cure is needed. I know that the context of your answer is about healing others. My question changes the context and is about practicing both FPCCM and another neigong explicitely based upon standard Taoist system (yin-yang theory, wuxing etc ) and involving some concentrations, visualizations. Is it possible? Does it spoil in some way the effects of FPCCM? Generally speaking, how do you see relationships/compatibility between FPCCM and these others systems (given that they would be genuine and authentic ones)? Thank you Fachao

Dear Sifu Terry, Thank you very much for your crystal clear answer. It is very helpful to rely on potatoes for my Chi Kung practice! Thank you also for all the posts where you give a lot about GM Doo Wai and his system. It is very informative and generous. Warm regards, Fachao

Yes, thank you very much Spirit Ape. I ordered Sifu Terry's DVDs a while back but did not practice the system so far. This thread encourages me to do so. Best qi, Fachao
