be aligned with Elegance and keeping good time in whatever is being done . increase upper body strength and be able to handwalk .

real good

Just to add if you look at the kids they are always bouncing , twitching and making "unreasnoble "movements . This is becouse this is their way to automatically release any strain or stress that comes they way . We are being thought to be still and disconnect , ironed with greyness in order to fit in as we grow into adults . It would do much good if many of us do shake their legs and/or their booty more often . However , would be nice to see PTFL here again , he always has something interesting to say ..

Interestingly enough in yogic tradition my practise is from it has also been said not to practise in wind , reason being given specificaly is becouse it messes with internal "winds" pranas particulary due to nature of practise , which in effect can cause not only physical but also mental imbalance . There are some people who are able whitstand extreme cold easily and bathe in frozen lakes without even having "a level of spiritual accomplishment " . There is actually a bunch of grannies who go to local pond I go to in summer , and they swim every day -- all year around . OK it is not usually less than -2,-3 celsius , so it is not that cold in comparison to - 30 , but they still swim even if they have to break ice often . They have no sauna or heating nearby , just a cup of cocoa to warm them up after swim . Just to say that whatever laws of science or laws of anything there is -- do not believe so easy .

Everyone is at their own point of being -- whatever that may be , all the people you have mentioned in your post . This is life . Is it possible to force the flower to blossom ? Maybe sharpening up on gardening skills and regular watering could be of assistance. T.S said: "... authority over my inner space.." Sometimes it is necessary to give up notion of "my inner space" in order to be spaceouss .

Where in Marbelheads pond or ?

Time off is the best to do whatever whenever -- it is so good .

Us humans....and you are ? -- the fish Boss ? It would be more procisley if said that us the "fish" -- think that we are in the bag and therefore just floating around in the same pattern.

In many cultures swimming in cold has been done traditionally either for religious purposes or for health benefits . My Polish friend and people of her town go swimming in -30 and water is -1 for fun and as a way to warm up (so she said )and have done so since kids . Whereas in many places this would maybe arouse contraversy and maybe even accusations of child neglect . It is my belief that this is one way for people to acclimatise and get their body used to harsh conditions depending where they come from . Human body has a lot of unxplored potential . Somtimes very extreme conditions are required for that potential to come out . It is almost like some sort of friction needs to be created . In a way this is what we are doing with various cultivation practises too . Following is translated from website that I lost (sorry): "Siberian children enjoy swimming icy river.The local swimming club in the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk winter organizes swimming in the cold water of the river Yenisei. Every year swimmers are getting younger and younger ."

I am intersted what everyone has to say about tummo ... This winter I am so much warmer than ever as whenever cold ( even at work ) paying attention to belly button area -- relaxing it , expanding upper body and holding for a sec or two (similar to Wim Hof method mentioned in link )...and actually even see light with open eyes sometimes moving and spreading , warming me up .

Inspired by current dream teaching thread I have decided to ask you about your dream life and learning in dreams as well as using your own lucidity within a dream for spiritual practise or raising vibrations ... Interested to hear about dream teachers , guides ..do you have one for a long time ? How are you sure that this is your guide ? Do you go places you never been , do stuff and meet people /beings you never saw before ? Accomplish tasks , have work to do ? What kind ? Dream techniques ? What kind of dreamwork do you do ? Do you write dream journals ? Share and discuss -- specially would be intersting to hear from long term practicioners or people with more deeper understanding of themselves and interconnection between sleep and awake states .

Help the old lady is good stuff , not forced helping though . I mean it should be common sense , a natural response . There is something wrong if one does not help the old lady struggeling to cross the street . Not gonna just leave her there falling over and getting run down by traffic . Some people need introducing the concept and hopefully by repetition it will become a more healthy mind pathway . Also most of us people are still in baby stage of emotional and psychic development so naturally like children we learn by copying , which is what you speaking off . So slowly we learn the only way we can , do not mind speed ,style and flavour . Yes it is also true , this goody goodyness can grow into a twisted monster too if applied mindlessly . In my opinion one way or another Mother Theresa did much good . No one is perfect , but many people were helped on physical level . Also she become an archytype for goodness . Only this archetype was very much needed as a reminder and a image in subtler way as an ingridient to help form healthier psyche in order to counterbalance of what is currently going on on this planet .

I hope you stay , this is such a colourful comunity and thaks god that not everyone thinks the same otherwise it would be boring and uniformed and there would be not that much to discuss either . There is space for all of us and most of us a bit bonkers one way or another .

I just had to check out that vid to check out the women you mentioned . Dont look too hot to handle to me ..

This may be one way to show how interconnected we all are , as if we help others ,we help ourself too . In this case if done with strong intuiton or instinct or urge -- a person can even forget themself for a moment or two or ten and just act . Selfless . Everyone has had those moments , not only saints and sages . My opinion is that beeing "good " ( this does not mean stupid )makes us more transparent and therefore selfleless , easier to let go . I think it is very organic and Human urge that has for many reasons not only been covered with rust , but put to logical explantions and therfore almost vulgarised . ( this I mean in general , not dissing the thread ) .

Yes once eyes start to open in the dream ..

Was away for few days ...really interesting Taomeow . Ah , OK . My dreamself doesnt think either , but acts . Infact if thinking starts I wake up , which can be really annoying sometimes . Only in begging of falling asleep there may be a thought of some sort , but this would not be classed as dream but falling asleep period (by me) . It is hard to describe , but if there is thought coming up when deep in dream , even a very subtle one -- I already know that I will wake up . At this point I start using abiltiy to speak with sound in the dream , and everything starts dissolving -- fading away . Last time (and not the only one ) I was having an important converstaion with one teacher whom I do not know , but still remeber his physical and mental picture and place he told me to remeber. He was telling something important but thought came and I knew that I will become more dense and not be able to hear rest unless he hurries up . So I started to appologise and tell him that I will disspear soon and that my voice is going to and urged him to hurry up with what he has to tell. Dream me thought awake me a lot , infact it is through dreams and its connection with waking state that most understanding come . Goes both ways . Yes in comparison everyday "civilised" life can be pretty dry , to refresh the connection with more magical way of being is a true art .

The threshold is Imagination , Responsibility is the key . This is not some haiku .

Zdravstvuje Taomeow , happy to see you here .. I do actually see what you mean . Something is trying to work itself out . In dreams some stuff that needs to be worked out is being worked out . So maybe little is overflowing , but little by little is good measure for healthy adjustment ... Kind of a survival mechanism . .. Or it is something else . In my case character wise I am actually becoming very similar to what I am in waking state , some slight exaghurations here and there (this does not mean I am flawless and wonderful by all means ) . However I am working my own stuff out in dreams , sometimes in most curious way and sometimes boring . What is amazing is the type of dreams I get in comparison to say 15 years ago . I often wonder about people and places -- wherther I somewhow invented them , based on various things or what ?

Yes dreams can influence body , some people use dreamtime for healing . Infact many times people wake up and go around in strange mood and do some stuff they would not normally -- in my opinion it has a potential that it was the dreamlife influnced . As much as dreams are influnced by daily life , daily life gets influnced by dreams . Maybe something in subconsiousness shifted or something and produced such effect . Dreams are not some sort of non being .

yes i thought so too

What makes people anxious around me is if I piss them off . People are very sensitive often without even knowing or being able to word of what is going on . Also there is many kinds of silences (refers to Skydogs OP) . There is silent silence , grumpy silence , fuck off silence , i told you silence , violent silence ...people can feel that . So if one wants more peaceful and relaxed enviroment -- watch your actions , thoughts and deeds carefully , not someone elses . Especially if cultivating becouse not only one can burn their own self , but others too quite more easily than regular person . Everything goes to quite extreme .

This is not really often discussed in awake life , I have noticed . Dreams tend to be sometimes told , but not much attention is payed to them due to prevalent understanding . It is almost a taboo . Why ? Becouse the whole society structure is constructed mostly on anti fullnes and anti knowing of who we really are . Becouse dream language is not understood by logic orientated mind , as well as could not easily translate into words and time frames we work with and that are commonly accepted while awake . I am especially curious about learning in dreams and taking knowledge into being awake too , as well as practising in the dream . One of examples of practising in the dream : So dream starts and I notice that people (dream figures ) I meet have an unusual air about them ( common dreamscape ). This always makes me suspicious that I may be dreaming . With first hint of suspicion I usually start interracting with them (my way of checking out of whats up ), asking who they are . According to their response -- understanding comes that this is a dream . Therefore I tell my self and them that they are in the dream to together with me , just like some ideas . This usually wakes me up or the dream wipes of from the screen of the mind and I truly wake up in light or some meditation state by using discrimination , and /or listening to the inner sound and raising my vibrations . Would like to add that this came on spontanious and I have never purposefully practised lucid dreaming . At this point more consciously crossing into different dimensions of being can occur , this is where meeting and learning happens . Like a "door" that opens according to ones vibrational state .

Used to get up 3, 4 regulary (daily) for about 10 years for meditation before getting on with the day . It was great , but now after some years of not doing it -- it seems so distant .
