Essentially once you start "chasing the dragon" in the phenomenological sense of fixating on specific points, you will forever sense some type of cycle afoot. Forget about it. Take care of it that day everyday by the end of the day. Sleep well. Think about it like learning the maps, and learning how the frame is attached to the struts. Motion is how you drive. In water or on land. There are routes and paths that spiral. We found those in grappling practice and you feel them in all the techniques that seem to "work" in an effortless encounter w/ li (physical force). Any whole body workout should clear it. Especially if its moving the organism that which you are suspended tyhrough it's own little ecological cycle. It's own sun / moon orbit if you will. In my experience the speeding up or slowing down of natural body mind cycles is true material, not myth. Knowing hoto read internal sensations and appropriately adjust breath food & movement to compliment, nothing at all. All of it. Swimming(Dolphin, Shark, Fish, Jelly Fish, Walking on Bottom w/ Rock, Surfing, Rock Climbing (Geico?), Jogging? Good for the Heart. Rolling. Yes. You will naturally rebalance and start again the next day. upward & downward spirals intersetx in /\ time intervals and harmonies. It doesn't matter what we make of them, the journey from mountain to vally from valley to summetr produces a beautiful chorus of stories to share. Words will never express the subconscious transformation that direct extraordinary experience of the particle wave of tao is. You can try to put it into words, but I agree, motion and energy is the medium of the tao, not these puny words we speak. We would be better to sing and share our music with one another. Humbly and Regretfully & Still Rolling, Spectrum

Is it overrated? Spectrum

Vortex you copied me. <wink> You recognize it toooooo? Communication is only half of something. Cyclic dialog like attracts like. Sing. Harmonize. Be your instrument in the symphony of life. Woodsy

ref: da liu taichichuan & meditation : will qoute also there are a number of practitioners on this forum who have/had rainbow vision expereinces. Possibly some will recipricate.

You mean where hs piccking his foot up quickly before he steps? Snappy. Check out 57-101 he does some crazy finger chuan, turns around, then white crane 101 for dummies. Love it. So many body ideas expressed.

At what time does it occur in the vid?

Wun talk to me about drumming the I Ching! I've got a dum tek to practice with.

Thank you Hundun. I enjoyed your sharing here. Do come back and contribute some sense to the calm madness that is taobums. I gleaned from your words many times. Thank you. Sometimes one must stand alone. Blessings on your endeavors. Spectrum

yes

I saw a ref in a youtube video to Macao, a region in China. googled for a min. just random i guess.

I like this form & posted it on my blog. If I can get names of the movements of the form I will post. This is classic.

This makes so much sense with what I have been feeling lately in switching speeds up in my taiji practice. Do the movements of the form have names that are synonomous with Chinese mythology? Is there a Macao connection here:?

I agree on the wushu "dynamics" but her feet stay flat and her hips are orbiting smoothly.... I see the strength in the serene. Indeed this demo shows some micro adjustments that you almost need to soft focus and f e e l w/ your Sifu. The wrists... falling leaves. These are the kind of exchanges that just made the rest of my week better. Really. Kindest Regards <Bow> and Thank You for the tender slow cooked morsel to chew on... Beautiful, Spectrum

Thanks for the inquiry Wun Yuen Gong. We might not have known after all this dialog and exchange, and I for one find all this very GOOD information. Liu He Ba Fa (6 Harmonies, 8 Methods), "Waterboxing" , "Hwa You Tai Chi": http://www.gordelpus.com/jenny/lhbfshort.rm

I think the suggestion here is that people might not generally care about "lineage" as long as they feel "the energy" during practice, and as long as they feel "transmission" energy from max when they do what he says, for a fee, and they "progress". <shrug> Personally, I'm more interested in seeing Max freestyle w/ his Tao bums.

WHats there not to feel strongly about?

Nice.... It's like he's dancing in a river. This is so so so beautiful of a treasure. there is energetic significance because he dropped into suspension... look at how during the rollback deflect punch sequence his head does not move vertically, it is pivoting on the axis of wuji, even horizontal transition his hands and feet orbiting like planets around the sun of his tan tien even as his weight shifts L/R and forward.

It's Dakine. Cocoa Puffs broke da mouth yeah?

I hear ya. Like explaining water to a fish after he's been out of it, but is back in it... and explaining from the perspective of being out of it.... while he's in it... go figure.

<bow> Thank you for sharing such a jewell.

Awesome, just awesome. Good stuff. Opened up the non-conventional space and forgot about the rest of it!

Has Max been to Kunlun Mountain?

Yo Father Paul, Pass the Syrup this Way We'll hit that stack at dawn. Spectrum
