Taoist Yoga

A Paul Grilley lecture on yoga anatomy touched on connective tissue and the shortening mechanism which occurs upon repairing micro tears. He prefers the name meridian tissue over connective tissue due to the shrinking or growing with the amount of qi that goes through it. He mentioned a Dr. Larry Dahners research paper, where a wrist fracture in a sling for 8 weeks results in frozen shoulder syndrome, and that if the micro traumas that occur daily healed in the way where additional tissue was generated (scar tissue) the arms for example would lengthen. Hoping anyone who knows about this or anything similar will share their wisdom. I found these links searching for info. Meridians Relationship of Acupuncture Points and Meridians to Connective Tissue Planes Tendon Injury pdf looks like some post PhD material

Yeah, I've been wanting to attend for a while now. The planets should align soon!

I see! http://video.google....33006052496696# Capoeira must be an internal thing 'cause this is 100% heart!

Some folks lose the ability to spell, write, speak, or work numbers following a Kundalini awakening. http://www.youtube.c...h?v=0AW3jzAqCpM I believe this is a serious neurological event requiring immediate treatment. Not a FAIL or a result of a feedback loop. I have witnessed expressive aphasia.

Welcome Lots of the good stuff here! Peace, Robert

No no... I respect the depth. Looking forward to the digging deep in to new material. Obrigado, Robert

Thanks, $52.00... I'll put that away toward meeting him in person. Appreciate it though Hey! I'll keep it in mind. I'm really toying around with the idea attending a seminar. Agressively need to hustle up the funds though. Mortgage first! Thanks everybody Robert

Having scoured webland for an AVAILABLE text, or at least one youtube video of an actual posture or some type of TRAINING METHODOLOGY, of Kunlun ( not wild goose) a sequence perhaps (there is really a lot out there on Qigong et al). I cannot find anything I can work with. Can I have a tangible lead please. If the time, travel, & tuition was gifted to me I wound gladly attend a workshop and give an objective review. Be Rightous, Robert

Most OTC products like deer antler or tribus are throwing money away. More problems than solutions I believe. ( In my experience) I heard about Sanyinjao from a Yang Jwing Ming (schwing) video. You will know when you find it cause it will hurt! http://homepage.mac....ticle/13-12.pdf http://www.tcmadviso...7815151345.html When I was being treated for hip arthritis she used to hit points surrounding my umbilicus in a cross type formation (schwing) I will have to go back and ask the points unless some of our TCM family has the answer to that. So TCM... "works if you work it" Thanks for the serious subject, Robert

Wow! David Yow! How cool is that! That was me the last time I did Vamana Dhauti and holotropic breathwork! Wish I had THAT type of support system in 1995 Thanks for sharin' this

Zerostao turned me on to this after the fact, I immediately got choked up, chills, tears, all that. Rock on Erle!!!

Thanks Kate, http://news.yahoo.co...porter-24197089 This mentions an an epileptic episode that happened to another reporter prior to this episode which was most likely a TIA (or CVA) Salud, Robert

Thanks! Will be digging in to the Anatomy Trains material for sure. Bob Cooley's principles involve the paradox of contracting while lengthening! (a form of compression?) http://www.thegeniusofflexibility.com/ My organs were being affected by stretching specific muscles. At first glance, the connections seemed implausible and strange. But they were hardly new! These specific muscles corresponded to meridian pathways in TCM. The muscles, meridians and organs matched up exactly. Organ health or "fitness" improves with stretching. http://www.thegenius...e-medicine.html I identified that muscles need to contract when being stretched. The greater the contraction, the greater the stretch. The results were immediate, cumulative, and permanent. I had discovered how muscles really stretch. The world was going to change the way it would stretch forever. hmm...

This just in... Laugh Yourself Thin Secret smile works for me!

Good God! In the phrasing of James Brown! Finally... something I can wrap my head around and sing (sic) I mean sink my teeth into! Thanks ps. metaphor intended.. Heh!

...well..... maybe....

A lot of 12 step meetings are in hospitals. If one could volunteer in a place where one could see patients with COPD on oxygen gasping for air having anxiety attacks - smoking Or the bariatric patient who needs six or more staff to turn them or clean them after a bowel movement, total helplessness. A hoyer lift (visualize small hydraulic crane) is necessary to move into a chair. Joint replacements will (with a risk of infection-sepsis) are usually the reason for admission as well as bed sores. Interesting observation is that most health care workers are overweight and smoke. Now.. if..I ..could..just put this... laptop d d d down Wishing you the success beyond that you wish for yourself
