Ish

Anyone got a link to the interview with the Korean hermit? I remember reading about a Buddhist master who lived in the mountain for a few years, he apparently turned green due to his diet - i think it was solely pine needles but i don't think he was Korean

Seconded, best money i've spent!

So you're suggesting a primary practice of eating hot peppers? I think your stomach would give out before you got any realisations, except the realisation that it hurts to go to the bathroom ><. Well as a supplement for health and healing it might fit for some people, heard good things about cayenne.

Are you gonna put up a video of you going into a fire then? ^^

They mentioned the pit beneath was 4 foot deep, so i think it would be incredibly hot even where there isnt an obvious blaze on the surface. Also just being right next to a fire like that would be unbearable i think.

This was very good, inspiring watch.

I do it too. Recommend the practice certainly, it's not just for healers, Michael says whatever talents you have will be activated with sufficient practice. Though from my view healing would be a speciality of the system.

Do what makes you happy, if you've got responsibilities take care of that too. If you want to meditate all day, so long as you're doing it for the right reasons and not harming anyone then go ahead I say.

In my experience if you tense it will store the energy (block) in the muscles, not bring it into the bones. I feel systematically patting or slapping the body does help to open the energy channels, quite good as a close down.

You've gotta be kidding me!! I admit i would NOT try that but seriously incredible. Wonder how they tested the suit, and how many places are actually suitable to jump.

Thanks for posting, have not seen this before.

I personally don't see how we can be absolutely concrete about these things - in this case money for the teaching. Times change and what is required of students may also change... who's to say it isn't destiny that a student decides to pay and therefore receives the teaching, after that it's up to them and their own will to train as well as they can. I'm not, and can't, say it's right to charge such an amount but I also don't think it's correct to close yourself off because of changing conditions.

Well this instruction is "how to train yourself". If you are already trained then i don't think you need to live as a beggar, doesn't exactly give you a means to spread the teachings.

LOL do you play DotA by any chance?

That was something, so so important.

I think it's a double edged sword. You can find many practices for what you want/need but because the knowledge is spread so far, there are a lot of sub par teachers. A bit of dabbling doesn't hurt IMO (and is actually very useful), as long as you are mature about what you want and can commit to something good eventually.

Is there some kind of balancing posture? Due to the spine being bent in one way to such an extent.

I dont do yoga, but man that posture looks like it would cause some major neck problems.

Yeah you're probably practicing correctly so you increased your energy flow to your palms. The laogong point in the centre of the palm can store and emit energy for your fa jin. No need to overly focus on the palms, developing your dan tian and following the normal principles of your practice will increase your power. Zhan zhuang and the forms are excellent for developing the internal energy.

That's interesting, is the fire released for safety or maybe alchemical purposes? When you speak of reaching level 1 in that short time, did the students already have a foundation or were mainly beginners?

She's deffo a new ager look at that weak quarter lotus

I was a bit concerned when you described in your meditation becoming very cold. My advice is to just make sure you're not harming yourself in your practice.

I love making and eating good food. I find I can go without food and function fine due to my practice, but i feel more balanced eating.

How do you know the books were written by immortals? You could be spreading the "dao" of these cheaters you speak so much about. Well probably not considering you never ACTUALLY give your way, just say everyone else is wrong.
