    Missing the higher confidence, self esteem, charisma, mojo, et al that accompanied my tri weekly 2 hr gym sessions. (pre laptop!) Higher flow (peak experience) as well. Yeah Blasto... bad laptop. Working on getting the family to cut back as well. This (interweb gigabiteland) has been the worst debilitating addiction for me save for dark roast coffee. See ya at the gym

  7. I've got some good news...

    Ah.... My Bums! I was beginning to wonder what happened to the forum. Good to see everybody here and that we are all on the sane (sic) wavelength from time to time. BTW... We got to see the International space station fly over the Indiana Dunes on Friday! At 10,000+ MPH. Lasted about 3 minutes. A visible trajectory from Roughly San Antonio Tx to Nova Scotia. I could not believe it when I was informed of this. Saw it again from our house roughly 2.5 hrs later not as long though. Will see it again tonight! Blasto... Congrats! There is no substitute for hard work

  10. Meditation as a cure for mental illness

    You do pay taxes right?
  11. Meditation as a cure for mental illness

    Right Sexist men! Dosen't stop the Govt from referrals in droves. If that one cat who did not go for his referred TX didn't stick that needle back in his arm there would be one less E.R. visit, one less Neurosurgeon, infectious disease consult, 4 picc line replacements, the dude is confused so he needs a sitter as not to pull more picc lines out, I.V. Antibiotics round the clock, oh and of course a nice PCA morphine! ad nauseum... Repeat visit ad nauseum et. al Since there is no insurance so you pay. Now multiply this by thousands. This is in the U.S. alone. I have seen this N a t i o n w i d e Hey folks have RIGHTS right? Tune in next time when we will discuss if the A.C.O.A character traits are real in detail as well as denial!!! " They must buy into the "reality" that they have an incurable "disease" What is the reality of an A.C.O.A? Peace
  12. Meditation as a cure for mental illness

    "Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our concious contact with a higher power as we understood um" Can't cite this zxactly... You get the picture... http://www.youtube.c...h?v=h8rcwOHJVQs
  13. Body Fat and Qi

    Honestly if I spill seed I tend to eat more to replenish. This may be applicable across the board. When I first cultivated I was in excellent shape, working out, eating anything but that was 6 yrs ago . I believe age, + a Diagnosis of Hashimotos thyroiditis and arthritis may have slowed me down. I often wonder if these may be related to retention in any way (physical Chia, Winn style) I spent years weight training to bulk up. Now I realise I don't need it and it weighs me down (pun intended) I feel if I could just lean out all will be well, but cardio hurts and I eat to keep my brain going for my 13+ hour shifts. (nites at that) My wife feels cortisol is responsible, WHICH IS WEIRD because I remember Jerry Alan Johnson waxing poetic in an 1985 Bagua video about the practice increasing cortisol levels ! Having this darn computer keeps me...well... OK I'M ADDICTED! There! I hereby proclaim to amp up my $3X life!!! Cardio thru $3X! Cool! Stellar thread, Rob
  14. Is Capoeira the Supreme Martial Art?

    Cardiovascular wise? Ginga for 5 minutes! I can't History wise, read the Nestor Capoeria books. I find lots of Ninja parallels I find the "Spirit of the thing itself" appealing in and of itself E mail response from a fellow music lover who was kind enough to translate. hi robert, hope you're doing great! don't know much about 'capoeira' but i'll try to give a little help. usually they sing traditional songs repeating the chorus and adding/naming their fellas and/or places (improvisation). at same point, in that video, you can note the singer naming/referring to the guy at his side. they are singing: Madeira do Jataí, Ipê, Cambuatá, Berimbau, Massaranduba, Quero ver quem vai buscar Antes das seis horas, Antes do dia clarear Quero ver pedir licença Para na roda entrar, dá licença Dá licença aí, dá licença á Dá licença aí, dá licença á Vou pegar minha berimba E meu berimbau armar Pra tocar com 'Seu' Elias na roda do ? Dá licença aí, dá licença a Dá licença aí, dá licença a Vou pegar minha berimba E meu berimbau armar Pra tocar com o Rapadura na roda do Carará Dá licença aí, dá licença a Dá licença aí, dá licença a Vou pegar minha berimba E meu berimbau armar Pra tocar com 'Seu' Cavalo na roda do Paraná Dá licença aí, dá licença a Dá licença aí, dá licença a don't know if you know portuguese so... Jataí, Ipê, Cambuatá, Berimbau, Massaranduba - kind of woods, probably to make the berimbau. 'Seu' is for Sr (senhor) - Mr. (Mister). for example, Seu Jorge means Mr. Jorge 'Rapadura' is, in the context, a fella's nickname. Rapadura is a product derived from sugarcane. Seu Cavalo: another fella's nickname - Mr Horse... haha and the 'original' (probably, because it's a 'folkloric' song) song is: Dá Licença Madeira de Jataí, Ipê, Cambuatá, Beriba, Massaranduba, Quero ver quem vai chegar Antes das seis horas, Antes do dia clarear Quero ver pedir licença Para na roda entrar, dá licença Dá licença é, dá licença a Dá licença é, dá licença a E vou pegar minha biriba Pro meu berimbau armar Pra jogar a capoeira De Angola e Regional, da licença... Dá licença é, dá licença a Dá licença é, dá licença a A roda já ta formada Não tem hora de acabar Peça a benção a Deus do céu para na mata entrar http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capoeira http://capoeira-cantigas.blog..om/search/label/Capoeira%20CD hope it helps and you have a nice day in chicago. gisele Obrigado from Chicago, Robert
  15. Body Fat and Qi

    Never understood how the higher level masters always were hefty? Growing up on Bruce Lee and Sugar Ray Leonard and equating being ripped with winning I guess. Must have forgot about Foreman and Fraiser. At the Zoo this weekend I read that the primates were not fat just a higher ratio of "Guts" or intestines. See where I'm going with this. In Qigong so much work involves the gut. I have also noticed over the years that psychics and clairvoyants tend to be on the hefty side as well. (higher concentration of H2O electrolytes, or just more cells for conductivity?) On a personal level my Cardio test just placed me at hefty, thus my use of the word. (I'm good btw) Yeah! Back to the gym for me as well. Sorry if I did not stick to the format. Tip top topic!!! Thanks,
