Relax towards working into, 1. On the way up, align. work towards letting go, full potential to release 0. Release, trust alignment, let it all fall into place. repeat

Word of mouth around many communities of practitioners on internal crystal formations. Kinda raises ones eyebrows at the thought of "diamond body"

(wuji) as the center of gravity sinks an inverted pryamid (which in 3-dimentions has 4 vertices) forms and is experienced as root or grounding. it is intersected by a regular tetrahedron to form a double tetrahedron.

Reflecting Considering where your path has gone in light of your experiences, even though you have looped back, which is inevitable, it is with a richer and broader vision than when you took your first step, where it is now and where it can go in the sense of a bit larger or longer term pilgramage or life passage. A lot of people go into the wilderness and never return, i am enjoying reading about your adventures.

Sounds like Laying Pipe

you do not need a teacher to experiment w/ stillness and movement. the first rule is simple observation; relax and let things happen naturally. you need not force anything, you are happening without effort. by finding training methods that initiate your own bodies memory path to wuji you are 'conditioning' your nervous response to a load or "gung" into synergetically balancing tension and compression throughout the body. balancing the load throughout the whole instead of "bearing" the load. What is being practiced is transitioning the physical center of gravity to a lower position in precisely the same fashion as during fight flight, so regardless of what you 'believe' to be occuring in the body, the physical center of gravity is lowered, a state of readiness created, and a psychophysical response is experienced, often described as "the moment". What i enjoy about two person practice is learning the space between possibility and execution in a single exchange of moments. imagination i believe being the key to unlocking the continuos routes of applied martial art in motion. What seems to 'ideally' occur for me during form practice(after warming up), and is more readily experienced during partner drills and sparring is an in the now conflict resolution. to well being, a general feel good step. The use of the total organism to direct and redirect movement manufique into circular transitions coinciding w/ the intersecting horizontal vectors presented by movement with another body. This does not start with overcoming obsticles, but simple neutralizing, ie grounding horizontal forces. Through the playing out of physical psychology the student of physical culture learns to first dissolve conflict physically through the problem solving methods of physical combat, and hopefully learns to use the successful patterns learned training the senses to compell the physical body into a tandom dissolution of psychphysiological conflict within themselves resulting in a more continuous state of relaxed readiness and well being.

have a partner suspend a pendulum from the tip of the shoulder to the foot. observe the position of the pendulum standing erect. sink into wuji stance. observe the position of the pendulum again.

Sifu Rob just sent me his latest video dvd. I met Rob is 2001 while training in Hawaii and have enjoyed an ongoing dialog w/ him over the last few years. He continually sends me these spiral sticks that I get to experiment with. I've made some sick wings out of them as well that I think are going to be something I share on here soon. Anyways, his "energy sticks" are extracted golden mean geometry. They give you a certain "feedback" that you don't get from a straight stick. There is some pretty fun stuff in the video.... Rob gave me permission to share some w/ you guys since he's all into being taobumness but he can't type worth a damn. So here's the plug, it's put together nicely w/ a good mix of dialog and instructionals (follow along quality w/ his daughter Marrisa; not a step by step 1-2-3). The video is available as a package from www.danceandmartialfitness.com w/ a Green Sphere Knot. (seen in the video below) So my wife and I must have watched this clip 25 times rolling around on the floor laughing. Why? The music, the aloha shirt, the dialog.... "... go beyond your own grasp ..." The GUNG!!! In full taobums style ...

Inste4ad of talking in metaphoric alchemical circles lets address these variations of chi syndromes with some practical (and albeit classical) wisdom. Recognize the metabolic significance of speeding up your chi cycles. Chi gung in a general sense is going to cause some down cycle (cleansing/healing) side effects that need to be countered by proper grounding, stillness, and ultimately adapted to by regulating the lifestyle sources of jing; how you eat, how you breath, and how you move. After that, practice itself circulates chi, and destiny shen. To specifically address the negative effects of k1 practice : ground the k1 practice out through your heels. K1 practice is a tiger form, it's counterpart is dragon. Long standing health practices have transmitted this for centuries. What goes up, must come down. This includes sitting and standing variations. I'll be making a tour circuit soon if anyone wants to cross paths and practice. I'll teach if you'll learn. I'll learn if you teach.

A poem by Master Hand Kuo The universal post is a mystical form of martial arts We can never fully understand the way it is done It seems like an embrace with a smiling face You use your strength from within You are relaxed and use no force It is like clouds floating in the wind from all directions You use forces from the universe to substantiate your strength Your strength comes from your breathing You do not hold fast, leaving a lot of room to move You do not bend to greater strength So smoothly you move and so naturally Your breathing and your limb movements should not be impeded It is like moving in space In and out of the highest peaks and clouds Gliding through air and clouds Floating along with the winds Graceful yet composed Always contain calmness and peace Head upheld high with pride You embrace the world below you As clear and pure as an underground brook Like lead turning into silver spinning to the moon Looking into an antique mirror to look deep into your soul Your cup is filled to the brim Absolutely free of restraint and free of self You could fly as though you had wings Head towards the limitless horizon Like throwing a pebble into water The circles get larger and larger With your hands you push open the limits of the universe You embrace from within Heaven and earth and the ten thousand things capture your thoughts The eyes look outside with determination Up and down your strength flows You push and you embrace continuously Your thoughts should be pure This should clear your mind This should curb all illness You always return to the center You can attack or defend at will You must have a will of iron The principle of this is to strengthen To go for happiness and health Your body will benefit from this This has been handed down from the ancients This form of exercise can help you without limits

Nah. Original Survival is what the root waters. Wuji. Complete release from stress and anxiety. The primordial state of nonbeing. You talking in circles about animals being immortals. Learn to stand and walk, then we'll talk animal. Nice hamster wheel. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrain

Ya Mu, Thanks for taking the time to answer my question. Do you teach wuji as a foundation for emmiting chi for use in the healing clinic?

I asked a direct question that you sidesteped w/ spiritual slang. What is Kunlun energy? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kunlun This might help those who are curious to learn for themselves: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orology http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relief_precipitation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isostasy Another arrow please?

Please share, there are a lot of dead ends around here lately. Someone needs to get to the point. Noe lone else is sharing it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_Meridian Lead Follow or Get Out Of The Way.

thoughts off the top of my head remember when they lock up one part of their body they are creating an opening in another. So for example if you relax and "let go" of the lock your focusing on and reconsider the general flow of their motion you will continue to control the center of the circle. Often times if you feel where your hips can adjust to you can still guide them off their center because they are stiffening up and loosing their "flow"... your so right about yeilding out of locks and regrounding yourself to continue the flow. The thing about push hands is your not trying to control your opponent, rather when someone touches you, they are now a part of you, so you function as a mediator between them and the empti space they need to supposedly "control" you. Sometimes in the heat of the moment we forget we can talk as well...so changing to verbalizing your problem solving method might help as well, such as when they lock up, say softly so they can hear...lets see, i'm not wanting to get stiff and stuggle with y ou here, i'm feeling for a direction to yeild, so I'll try this... while your doing soemthing... when they struggle it makes them look stupid, it's not good practice, success is easy when it happens its the right answer for the right problem. When it becomes one upman ship and ego it's tough and sweaty and gritty and hard... bad practice methods lead to injury. good practice is not about winning its about learning. a good player will help his partner succeed, not work against succees. The more your partner succeeds the better you will get.

1:08 1:19 1:33 Winpro & Others, Lets take a look, so we can all see clearly what it is we're talking about. What is Kunlun energy? Lets start with the facts. Kunlun is a mountain range in china. Kunlun: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kunlun If we're going to ask what is Kunlun energy, we have to ask what is Wudang energy? Following up there is Pangu. Zhongnan energy? Song Shan? Tai Shan? Hua Shan? Heng Shan? or even ... Wu Tai? Emei Shan? Putuo Shan? .,.. So again what is Kunlun energy? You see; there are other mountains and ranges in China as well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Moun...ranges_of_China I'm getting tired of talking around the things that actually matter while other gurus shifus and "enlightened" mutherfuckers are "selling" forms of art. There are other people on this forum who have taken the time and effort to experience and its a product of effort. (gung) If people want to know they will figure it out. It's right in front of them, and it's all around the world. Go for a walk. What you looking for is right between your legs. When you tune your instrument you can play any song you need.

I have a Kung Fu brother who just left for China last month. He is willing to host students as guests and act as guide in the local area for practice and to meet other masters. He also said he would be interested in exploring the possibility of exporting kungfu / meditation / practice related items to the states for those interested. I will contact him and update as he has probably settled in the last month and is ready to host. He is of a skilllevel of discernable quality.
