  2. Beginning Taoist Practices

    The brain is the crown of consciousness; how would one realize thoughts effect circulation everyday, unless they experienced something different, most people get windows into circulation through love, inspiration, fight flight, competition, "the zone" ... something that opened their eyes, awakened their senses, super connected synapses, synchonized the eternal revitilization. It is here that PRACTICE reverses the damage the mind causes. Empitness is the starting point in which the flower may open and bloom and the orbit spin, slowing down time, or speeding it up. Wuji is the space needed for this flower to grow A student who has traveled for the first time through the forest is welcomed back on the path as a disciple it is not until the disciple knows every path in the forest, every step, every single stone, high and low, north south east and west, that other people see this and venture to call them a master.

    in the yoga sutras the translation means the tip of the nose as in the top, or its root, which sounds like what you describe you discovered during your process

  15. how to gather yin chi

    notes on cultivating yin law of diminishing return early morning quiet mists vapors condenst cave behind waterfall vortex brings some good things to the table: sliding into home somewhere between gravity and light i spoke w/ Rob Moses last week; after Caradines mysterious death he's gone underground w/ the Phi Ideas; I'm not sure what the circumstances are; he's heating up a piece of clear 1" dia acrylic and then doing his fu allowing it to bend shape and elongate while he chuans out. the result is something akin to the original 6:0.618 ratio'd body measuring sticks he was making, but with something impressed into the curves I can' quite put my finger quickly enough upon before it slips away; turns around, flips over, or transforms dimensional physics in some other seemingly minor manor.
  16. different orbits apart from mco

    Da Lui addresses this in his many books on taichi; demonstrating how tai chi circulates chi from the dan tien through the various pathways routes and directions of meridians; he shows the symbolic unfolding of wuji to taiji as a map for guiding practice. The fresh feeling from good tai chi practice eminates from all the orbits working together; not JUST the cnception and gvner; those are primary, the rest is up to you, (forms, arts, passions, love, destiny) everything emanates from and returns to dan tien.
