@ChiDragon Dragons know a thing or two about longevity. Of course I must include the Grandmaster of Fire Dragon While it is Not the literal cartoon fire breathing dragon What it is--physically demanding for starters. What it accomplishes-powerful fast explosive movements and transitions. That's the Fire In the video, Lu Juan Zi performed, I think at age 116 or 117. His lifespan, 120, give or take a year . Certainly an inspiration and exemplar example. And while, it is labeled baguazhang, sure, it has Fire Palm, yet, not your typical baguazhang, contrasting the flowing circular familiar baguazhangs with highly advanced specialized kicks, transitions, that I mentioned above, which produces internal spiraling fiery energies that lead to intense physical development. I consider it Taiyi. Or a bridge between Taiyi and Baguazhang. Very Daoist TFA (totally fucking awesome) And why not add a Singing Dragon to this post. Got Qigong?

When you first arrived here on TDB, you caught my attention with your commentary about ATP. I've always appreciated your perspective and candor.

Longevity thread seems like a reasonable place to mention tortoise/turtle Qigong

Did ya'l) bring up the thousand year number? I think there may be only one of those Daoists out there now. More about that guy later in this thread. I posted a thread about this video in Healthy Bums. I want it posted here as well

Yeah, what she said.

Without good physical, energetics, mental, Spiritual health, longevity would be more a curse than a benefit.

I do see the Dao De Jing as one person's metaphysical, philosophical, treatise. One that has many layers and meanings for the reader, regardless of where they are, among the food chain.

This is not a Monty Python skit.

I know some of ya'lls like to follow the "science" I used to watch this channel, if you do follow science, then you are aware, that it changes. Shouldn't be any surprise, as all things change. Still, I found this guy easy to listen to. There are many many others out there reading the research papers and regurgitating it for you. You are sure to find one or more that Appeal to you.

I took a short walk today, maybe 15 minutes. 3 minutes in, and a very nice and sleek eagle, white tail, white head, did 3 passes by me and let me see which tree he landed in. I've seen bigger eagle here, but this was probably the smoothest in flight. Nice aerial display. Just 25 feet up. My cats generally stay close to home, where they are safest
