You should start practicing Tao by asking himself and honestly answering a question: How much am I able to pay for this? You get what you pay for.

ok. life's end is death, dao's end is life. life is uncompatible with death. if taoism is made to fit your life it means it is dead. that is why daoists cal ordinary people living dead. read up on your Dao De Jin.

which word exactly is unclear?

it does not. if somebody says to you that his "taoism" fits one thing or the other, then that is a fake taoism.

regardles of the number of the replies it is pretty lame

what is the end result of your practice supposed to be? and who is your teacher?

Well, Chen is not the main area of my practice anymore, i just do both forms once daily for dynamic conditioning and to enjoy fajing. My teacher is a personal student of Chen Fake's grandson.

here is an insight - breath holding is wrong. you are welcome.

It is bad - period. Look at all these office cubicle dwellers - always a bottle of soda, or water or a cofee cup glued to their hand. That is not a crowd i want to belong to. They are killing their kidneys. When fasting the body shuts down all external intake, different subtle gears are coming into motion. Drinking throws a wrench into these gears. These experience is typical "nightwatchdog Posted Today, 05:48 AM "

I fasted a lot, will start a long fast soon. Contrary to newage conventional thinking - water is bad for you, especially when fasting.

I am new to this forum but otherwise fairly experienced as well as advanced in years. Practice Chen taichi, internal alchemy, learn wenyan. Would love to chat. I am starting a 100 day training so may be will post a daiary of it in order to just have something to chat about. Thanks, yu 放下屠刀，立地成佛
