Yes, there are plenty of good cases, we got the apple one, which is minimalist, black rubbery type stuff, which is designed to work as a prop up device too, like for watching films.. There is something coming out this month I think called the Android Tablet which is a competitor, quite a lot cheaper, so if it got pulverised on the bike it would be less pauperising, but of course it isnt a mac, which makes it inherently disapointing..

Spiffing!

the Tao is the Great Mother. Tao Teh Ching 51 In the beginning was the Tao. All things issue from it; all things return to it. To find the origin, trace back the manifestations. When you recognize the children and find the mother, you will be free of sorrow. If you close your mind in judgements and traffic with desires, your heart will be troubled. If you keep your mind from judging and aren't led by the senses, your heart will find peace. Seeing into darkness is clarity. Knowing how to yield is strength. Use your own light and return to the source of light. This is called practicing eternity.

Hi there. Donna Eden talks about this and has some remedies for it. Pretty simply, as far as I recall, they involve the figure 8. Drawing with hands, in various sizes and locations across one's mid line. Pretty much ad hoc, it's going to work. Essentially, any circling that is balanced on each side, and crosses the centre line, will aid the cross over. So many qigong and tai chi moves do this as part of the system. *right *left *harmonise by crossing centre a very basic move.

That's great, thanks for making that distinction YaMu. I always knew I didnt visualize but I hadnt actually thought what I do instead, and it is intending. ... about the connection between intent and the higher level self. I'm sure this is what we all want to develop to great degree, it's the very stuff of being one with the tao. So again it comes to clearing out our junk ; the clearer one is, the purer and therefore more effective our intent.. So now I get why people are anti 'visualising'..but I wonder how much of a discrepancy there is between the two.. is it possible to visualise whilst not 'intending'.. I guess yes, the visualising comes from a less joined up position, a place of less depth and therefore less power. Okay. This is very helpful, I'm glad you take the time to unpick the furniture that we got so used to, thankyou.

Hi Mal, my son has one. It's beautiful and fun. You need a mac camera adapter though, to plug your camera into it, if you want to, which is a small extra cost. I think it's fabtastic. If you want an actual informative review, however, I'd recomend you google for one. I am mac devotee and will now be quite irrelevant and tell you that there are wonderful apps designed by Brian Eno that allow you to create and or listen to ambient music with touch responsive artwork and it is magically relaxing in a dark room, or in the garden at night, to see beautiful moving coloured shapes and lights and listen to beautiful music. If you like candlelight and lava lamps and all dat stuffs, this is great plus... you can get a cover for it that also serves as a stand and put it by your bed and it's grrreat. hth!!

Plus, what mjjbecker said about teachers and transmitting, is the correct answer, for ten points. if there were any points being given out.

Quite so, in fact you could say that not wanting to rub people up the wrong way inevitably leads to beating round the bush and you really have to be standing to attention to hammer the point home before the moment has passed. as it were.

well, yes, but forgive me , the more wordy version is not needed, it's verbiage, the first version is shorthand that we should understand if we're not hot from the storks beak.

Hi YaMu. I cant do visualisation, I am very kinaesthetic so I feel things. I dont do much thinking, either.. Why is it called 'breathing'.. because its a circuit.. it's in and out, it's a long pulsation of exchange between what's out there and what is in here, and a refreshment of inner with outer. What is the issue with calling it 'breathing'? What would be preferable? I'm not attached to it being called breathing, but it feels accurate to me. Do we really only breathe with our lungs? Dont Yogi's breathe through their ears? ARent there wider possibilities of 'breathing' than the lung/air one? I feel there are. breathing into organs or parts of the body creates an intimate relationship with those places, promotes one sense of the nature character or quality of that location, it is part of becoming internally known to oneself. One could sense an area, instead, and intend for cleansing or replenishment of that area.. but breathing seems natural, in the way of the old 'hosepipe' analogy for chi.. drawing in, pouring out, unblocking on the way..

Hi Creation. I'm very sorry to hear that... do you want to talk about it?! I'm sure it's a great topic and that there are lots of ways to create a desirable residence... maybe it is a thread of it's own, or, if not, then, like RainbowVein, from me, for you and your heart. xxxx cat

of course it's valid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The other day in a different thread I mentioned how I was told once "never trust a spiritual teacher who cant dance".. and this is why.

The story of what happened is over and now irrelevant. You want to join yourself up again, is the main point. How do you want to do that? You could go get a lot of acupuncture from a very intelligent acupuncturist. You could go see a healer of good rep. You could start doing Qigong, try Mantak Chia's 'Turn stress into vitality" and contact Santiago Dobles and Susan Carlson who are very proficient at reading energy and healing. Once your anger and sadness are dissolved you will begin to feel more rooted in your self and will be able to enter your heart again without having to encounter so much pain. Once your heart is cleared out and inhabitable again you will feel more 'plugged in'. At the moment your mind is struggling to make sense of a confusing story. This is just a diversion and letting it go will help. I know that is easier said than done. Every time your mind runs scripts on the story, just label them with some flippant label and watch them pass through your mind. The mind requires dominion and thinks if it understands wtf that episode was all about then all will be well. In fact that is an illusion. I'm sorry for your pain, I know emotional upsets are excruciating and we need to do a lot of work to clear up the fallout. Get an intervention from a high level healer and teacher, like the ones mentioned above, to kickstart your process and show you the path to integration. Good Luck.

dancing aka bodyflow aka shaking aka spontaneous movement aka trancework aka WU!!

yes, thanks for sharing, I really appreciate it. That's fun to know about the Ramana Maharishi moment.. interesting, isnt it. No space , no seperation. Not a coincidence , though.. connecting with intent, being aware of intent, is an art in itself, to keep coming back to that and relaxing it, aligning it with higher self. on and on and on.

So would a regular practice of whole body breathing be a practical balancing addition to anyone's method, Pietro?

Hijacking Threads - New Policy Under Consideration
三江源 replied to Stigweard's topic in Forum and Tech Support
Hi there Pink Light. I speak from my own experience of this forum, where I know a number of very well informed fellow practitioners whose experiences and findings I enjoy hearing and have often and often found very very helpful. "Trivial" is of course relative, and I guess we all ignore here what we find trivial, my sense is there has been less to ignore here over the years than most places on the net about spiritual matters. I agree with you about your 1- 4 and I find the regurgitators and dogma pushers tiresome, they are easily identifiable and easily skipped past. There are some genuine practitioners here though, and it is a great place to be in contact with them. For that I am very very grateful and I fully join with Stig and Mal et al to keep this forum the helpful resource and community it has been to many people. I feel loyal to Sean who started this site, loyal to the intention he held for there to be a place for sharing and discussing what we practice and examining what we are doing, and sharing our findings. -
Charles has done a lot of deep protective shamanic work for the UK.

Hijacking Threads - New Policy Under Consideration
三江源 replied to Stigweard's topic in Forum and Tech Support
I agree with Stig completely about the amount of members who will give up on the board out of irritation and boredom with the repetetive sea of bickering and unpleasant "LOL" ing at others points of views that I have noticed, which tastes bad and drives me out of those threads. How about an initial plea for overposting to stop, and the level of reactivity to be self monitored. One would hope a request for self moderation would yield results. If not, then it will be unavoidable to conclude that those members dont hold the balance of the board as their concern, and are very highly driven to forward their own agendas. In which case I think it is for the good of all for the mods to do the parenting thing and give a boundary, as you would to a child who doesnt know when to stop. Actually I think it is impressive that the mods have opened up a discussion considering what to do about this issue..... it would be disapointing if this board turned into a trivial chat board, or a dead wood forest with many threads no - one in their right mind would ever be able to plough through for relevancy. -

WHich of the 5 elements would you associate with the color pink?
三江源 replied to Pietro's topic in General Discussion
As with all things, it varies. I dont look at porn so there is no association there for me. Pink is the favourite colour of all for little girls. It is heart colour without the flames. -
Yes. True, it very is a weak brittle thing to be rigid. I used to think I was regularly tyrannised by weak people, because I didnt know how to stop helping them, rescuing them, etc. Now I see their appearance of weakness was a great strength that got them fed a lot. Knowing one's weaknesses and feeling them very acutely is to me part of unfoldment on this path, more and more of my weaknesses unfold, layer by layer and I suffer when I see the pattern shaking itself to the surface and I see my failings. Afterward, one is stronger from this knowledge, but one actually feels stripped and reborn, quite raw. It is then, for me, that the rigid and the denying and the faux strong becomes palpably feeble.
