One look at her photo told me everythig i needed to know. I wont train with racists and people who look down upon westerners.

This is so so sad. Erle was the kind of guy who would help anybody & share anything. 61 is far too young. Im sure if Earle practiced what he preached then he would still be with us. All the knowledge in the world comes to nothing if you dont train !

Hey guys, The entire world has seen the trouble Australia is in. I just want to pass on my sympathy to any and all aussie bums affected by this Disaster. Our prayers are with you all.

Yes,The entire world knows full well about the trouble we're in right now. The sad thing is Australia sends billions of dollars in aid to foreign countries in trouble, yet hardly any of those same countries have stepped up or even bothered to offer their support I know nz was one of the first to offer their much appreciated help & donations. Thanks on behalf of many.

Nice link YM,Thankyou. Since "Dr Verdesi" has achieved Yin & Yang Gong why wasn't He the one doing the Demonstration ? Secondly there was no before shot of the Persons Stomach, Only an after shot. Why wasnt the camera positioned in such a way that we could see it as it happened ? I was also on the assumption and told by many others that David & Jiang are no longer friends or even on speaking terms now. So i dont know how old the video is ? Thanks.

Hi guys, I think nowadays the term "Opening The Microcosmic Orbit" covers a very a broad spectrum. Theres so many different theories regarding this procedure from all the various schools out there. It would be nice to hear the Longmenpai theory regarding the physical & spiritual benefits (If any) surrounding this practice. Thanks

Some members seem to be confusing kungfu & meditation with magic.

Taiwan (like any other asian country) is full of fortune tellers,mystics, and dozens of spiritual healers,gropus,etc. Have you ever tried visiting any of the temples or checking out various magazines,etc ? Im certain there is a bi monthly publication where all these crazy types advertise their services. Personally i wouldnt seek advice from the internal arts community. Many of them have very strange/unfounded opinions on magic and usually mix in very different circles as well. The most crucial & important thing is, Knowing the correct terminolgy or names/characters of what you wish to learn. This is an absolute must. So many times I have spoken to people but they didnt have the slightest clue what i was on about, Only when i said it in their native tongue and used the exact phrase did they then understand and were usually more then willing to help.

Well its been raining here almost non stop for the past month. Luckily in my neck of the woods last night was one of the clearest we had in some time.

I live on the South East Coast of Australia and managed to see it early last night. Lots of great folkore surrounding the so called "Hunters Moon" too.

Has anybody heard of this book or can please verify its contents ? Thanks

Thanks scotty. Well im thinking if its genuine then to me its priceless, and i would have paid much more if need be. Cheers,

Hi guys, Recently i have started some hard qigong exercises. The thing is over the past few months i have turned into a complete almost raving lunatic. My temper has become so bad and my patience is zero. I now suffer from road rage & i used to laugh at road rage and wonder why people got so worked up. I know im going to get into serious trouble if i cannot learn to control myself soon. Should i be meditating more ? I would like to stop training but i cant, it has become like an addicitive drug that fuels me. If i dont do my training on a daily basis then i begin to feel weak,timid,vulnerable, i cant even look into peoples eyes. I become even more unstable then when training. Confused, any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Update: Been cutting back on the standing practice,meat,eating more vegetables & doing more meditation. I really feel like i have cooled down maybe 50% more. I have been doing the physical training in the morning and meditating during the late hours. Somebody suggested meditating after practice but Not wanting to disobey the rules,i cannot meditate directly after training. So Its just in between these times (morning & late night) that i feel hyper but it is much easier to control now. Thanks for the support everyone.

Hi there, No i ended up purchasing a photocopie of the said mopai book. There is a mudra that involves touching the thumb to the middle finger. The lungs = breathing and the lung meridian ends in the middle finger. So connecting these points make perfect sense. Thanks,

Hi guys, This is my first review of the mentioned website. I just recieved a photocopy of the book for $450 bucks. Packaging was superb and took me about 10 minutes just to unwrap it lol. Ok, The first three pages talk about the history and detail a chart naming the past grandmasters of the school. There is also a mantra to be recited before and after every training session to call upon a legendary figure. The mantra certainly sounds chinese but also contains words that appear to be persian or tibetan, so this tells me the system is not 100% taoist and has other influences perhaps. Later Goes into absorbing earth energy, mudras,etc. From what i gather the same breathing technique is used throughout the entire method and only the physcial positions of the body are changed pertaining to each level. To be continued ....

Some good points Tianshi. And yes, Its a shame more of the WLP group or Kathy dont speak up and share some information here. Thanks.

dam, whos that lady in the red jacket lol

John chang didnt prove anything. It was only your limited perception of what a Master should & should not do or look like that was altered (sorry).

Well a overwhelming response,thanks so much to everybody in this thread. I remember reading opening the energy gates perhaps 10 years ago or more. The story now rings a bell. Yes somebody else said that you can easily burn yourself out with hard/dynamic type exercises. Im going to concentrate on some meditation more i think, Regards,

Thankyou for the help mate. Im glad you mentioned the indoors thing. I have been training in a little tin shed,cement floor,and the humidity during summer is almost unbearable. I have not been doing any meditation and rarely eat any vegetables (besides some BBQ onions with my steak lol) Im going to try eating less meat,perform more meditation,and not be so negative thinking while traing. For some reason my mind wanders and i tend to think about everything negative that has happened while training. I heard once before that its not good to train when angry, but what to do when somebody is always angry ? I will re-post in a weeks time after giving it a go , Thanks.

This has been one of the greatest challenges for any serious cultivator. The spirit of Lust is said to be one of the hardest to rid oneself of if allowed to take hold,and rightly so. The best thing is to try & wipe any and all thoughts of sex the moment they arise. Nocturnal emissions(not saying you experience them) are usually the result of a sexually active mind btw. Ceasing any & all thoughts about sex will cure any of these problems 100% Thanks.

Mal Your soul is dammed through all eternity now

Well its summertime in this part of the world. Almost 40 degrees (celcius) today ,might go for a dip down the beach or go for a walk, no fall here & tropical weather all year round. Cheers
