beautiful reminder.

dont have a clue why, Ian, just wanted to say that I also fel weird, in a good way, like as if everything is sitting differently. I felt it arriving during the night, woke up a couple of times, which I never do usually.

Thanks for sharing that mythmaker. It made me go "yowser!" type thing.

Not if you dont want to move onto something different ! Maybe it will organically shift if you stay with your process, or maybe Eric's book will give you some ideas. Playing with energy and moving it in and out of the third eye and looping it through the heart centre etc is all good, ( I have done it too.) it's like energetic flossing. Ken Cohen has exercises like that in his book, though he speaks of using 'regular' chi in this way. If you meet Karin Sorvik, as Jonah suggests, it will be fun, she is lovely. I dont know Marie. Do you have a goal with your energy, witch, or are you just happy to have it? Do you use it for magic? Mythmaker - what happened with the travel through the tunnel?

lawrence day on ch'an and taoism - just a shortie, but a goodie.

Did you feel like the energy went straight up your core channel, perhaps. I had a lot of heart turbulence when I first began these practises, a lot of heart fire. I think the fact that you were contained and focused inside an eros vessel, would have dictated the nature of the flow and of your release. I'm trying to remember if I had heart bursts of orgasmic energy, and in fact, yes, I did. My teacher told me to write everything that I experienced down, and of course I didnt. I thought I'd never forget it. But I have forgotten it. I used to get them while doing standing meditation. It doesnt sound nutty at all. The third eye sometimes activates a lot and one feels one 'knows' things, or 'senses' things in a fine tuned way, and that area is orgasmic. Yes. I remember it more now. the Body Electric! To me the third eye felt peculiarly feminine. I wonder how it feels to the men. I dont know if you are at all interested in this, but Eric Yudelove's book 'Taoist Yoga and Sexual Energy' is interesting in this area, imho.

hello witch. ''pull up , squeeze'' is a healing tao basic excercise, referring to the pelvic floor area - the sacral pump. when I first began qigong I felt a spontaneous impulse to do this. It generates more energy in the body. Naturally the energy wants to travel up the spine. (when it happened to me, my spine b-u-r-n-e-d and I thought I was contracting some terrible spinal disease.) Then it reaches the head. this can create all sorts of feelings and effects, depending upon who you are, your state of health, and your personal issues. the next step is it for to flow down the front of the body, pooling again at the base, to loop it's way round again.If it doesnt do this naturally, it is guidable with intent. Ideally it will not stay stuck at the head, as that causes headaches and even what people sometines refer to as qigong psychosis. I have certainly met people with a lot of chi who are ungrounded and too yang. The front channel cools the chi as it flows down, and the process of circulation refines the chi. It can be pretty raw when it is unrefined. You did generate the energy, muscle flexing that way is part of qigong. I dont know if it is chi, or the coiled serpent of kundalini, awakening. People argue about that sort of thing and assert opinions about it. hth, a bit.

ok. this thread is too long for me to read. but I'm picking up a vibe I'm too late for the sex club. dang.

Hagar, that's very lovely. congratulations. I have two children. The energy coming them off is phenomenal. Like you say, holding a baby is a straight invite into meditation. Beautiful thing, isnt it. They are like fresh bulbs of pure life energy straight from the source. I think back when they were littlest, and I used to do some ken cohen breathing excercises while sitting endlessly breastfeeding, is partly why my mco opened so quickly and powerfully. the huge amount of energy there! just like you say, it's like sitting in a transmission from someone we might call a master if we were that way inclined. Lovely, thankyou for sharing.

one of the nice things is, there's no such thing as tao 'ism'.

poo. it doesnt work on a Mac.

Dan, I've given it some thought, and I've decided I can handle it if you post pictures. I'll pm you my email adress, for in case I'm absent.

Thanks for the link, witch. this seems to be the answer in case anyone else is interested. ( the article says they dont know what the liquid is, and there's no mention of it being beneficial, or different than any strong G spot orgasm without fluid release.)

hi rex, my question was about conscious whole body breathing. taoist style. chi whole body breathing. I'm sorry I wasnt clear. Interestingly, I think just asking this question has prompted me to do it more, not just around nature, but as an everyday excercise. I dont much want to do whole body breathing around traffic and pollution - yes I know I'm doing it anyway, in the sense of the gold- body- paint- death breathing, but I think conscious whole body breathing is different, somehow. Does this book suggest that we do whole body breathing as in the taoist sense of breathing chi in and out of our pores and being sensorily aware of it? I am fascinated by whole body breathing, and I wonder how much a part our lungs have actually to play actually in breathing, or if we could breathe in a supplementary way, if need be. I guess I need to get hold of this book.. when I checked UK amazon, it doesnt appear to exist though.

I live in London, starjumper. Can you feel my tent? I like the game you describe. I never thought of my energy reflecting off of trees. I rather am aware of the tree energy, not my own as seperate,because I get this strong calm and happy feeling of heart love around trees, so I mentally say hello and embrace them as I walk by them. I usually say "I love you" to them, because this is what comes up for me. Though some woods are closed to sharing, and some trees are depressed. I remember some trees particularly. There were some trees in Tunisia which were amazing, a grove of old cypress trees I think they were, being there was like falling in love, I didnt want to leave. I have a photo of me there and I look as if I'm in a soft porn film, practically. I am intrigued by the notion of energy 'bouncing off of'. I never thought of boundaries between energy fields in that way. Do you do energy exchange with natural phenomenon? You gather that I do.

hello hello, what's all this then? How do you ejaculate - ie can you do it 'on purpose', is it a side effect of something else you're doing? I just assumed that some women do, and others dont. What is the fluid that you release? How could it be beneficial? Tell all, please.

Hi Starjumper. I know it was a joke... I Just messin' wid you. I came in here to say Hello, is all.
