I think I'll pass on that one for now!

Point taken! I feel it is likely that this specific type of salt will entertain my tastebuds in the future..

- Stop wasting my "seed"... - Acing a letter course in mathematics... (hopefully) - Following my Chi Fusion course without skipping back and forth or losing focus and start practice of something else instead. - Learning the Cheng Man Ching 37 forms tai chi set. - Find a way to inverse the current expansion of financial debt or reroute the expansion of debt to my account while rerouting that black hole that is already there to my debt.. - Finding a way to finance treatment of what most likely is a cancerous tumor on my dogs nose.. - Finding a way to get my car fixed so I don't feel bad about it and draw in negative energy all the time..

I take procrastination to a whole new level, I procrastinate even things I enjoy doing. Initiating ANY action is something that doesn't come easy at all.. But why?.. I don't know, feels like fear really. I think it is a learned response that is there to avoid failure, not doing anything avoids failure in one way but creates new ways of failing...

I feel this resonates with me and that it is something that I'm likely to pursue in the future. But right now I think what is most important for me is to follow through with the work I'm currently doing. Not because I feel it is superior to anything else, but because I have a history of not following through with anything and need more then anything to break that pattern of behaviour..

I know that feeling, I usually google the english/chinese names to get the latin then google again using "site:.no" to search for a Norwegian hit. Could use "site:rolv.no" also as that is where that last search will usually lead you anyway..

I've recently tried bwe while doing zhan zhuang and I think it made it alot easier to remain relaxed. Been using it alot for meditation and that works wonders on me, I had a real hard time getting into a relaxed state without it but using it seems to have made that easier also. I haven't used any special meditation techniques besides the bwe and has mostly just put on the headphones sat down and relaxed and gone with the flow. But I think combining it with some other meditation techniques would be a good thing also!

Hi I've been having depression like symptoms for most of my life and working life has made things worse with anxiety creeping in as well. I went to see an acupuncturist for some time and that was the only thing that has really helped me but my finances kept me from continuing the treatment as it had me gather lots of debt. I have now on sick leave and has decided not to ever go back to the work I have been doing because it is so detrimental to my health. It kinda feels like it is in conflict with something deep in my soul and that is what manifests all the bad things in my life. So I'm looking around for a way to earn a living without ending up in the same trap again. Its kinda hard because I've been supressing myself for so long I really don't know what would make me happy(and at the same time make me a living). Online tests say I should become an architect because of my analytical and creative sides. And though I find it tempting I am unsure of how it would be as a working environment. Recently I've been playing with the idea of becoming an acupuncturist. The last few days I've been reading a little bit about TCM principles and as an exercise I've been trying to "diagnose" my own condition. At first I thought it was a Liver-Spleen thing going on (and there probably is) as my temper is very unstable and it takes NOTHING to trigger a self destructive anger bout. BUT doing some searching on issues that I didn't really consider first time around I think maybe there is a Kidney Yin deficiency causing heat symptoms. The main issue that has me making this conclusion is the fact that the worse my condition gets, the more sexual I get. This, and the fact that my initial "diagnosis" indicated Yin deficiency all over the place had me thinking that this might be the "core issue" here. Does anyone have any thoughs on this?

You really have a great way of projecting the calmness and intent or state of mind one should strive for. Really some of the best videos I have seen in that respect. And me being a compulsive "searcher" that means I've seen a few

Slight update I've been putting my pillow at the footend of my bed and slept the other way around for two nights now and the difference is HUGE! Feels like when I'm heading north I get energized which is not a good thing for sleeping. Lying the other way around there is a more harmonic feeling. My girlfriend notices this also, she's never sleeping heading north again she said. I didn't mention how I felt about the change until she brought it up herself so its not like I put the idea in her head or anything. She wasn't very open to the idea of it beforehand but now its a fact in her eyes and mine also! Great tip Yoda! The simple things can really make a big difference sometimes..

Vitagong: I sent you a pm with the pics, correction i sent you one and will send you one more as I forgot one! Don't know about the natural standing position though, wrong end of the lens for me to feel natural. I would usually cross my arms in front of my chest or stuff them in some pockets and look all over the place except from in the direction of whomever I'm having a conversation with. Yoda: Fascinating stuff indeed! Vaastu is like Indian Feng Shui? Do you know if they correlate? Always wanted to learn a bit about Feng Shui. If I were to follow the architect path I most definately would want to incorporate it in my designs. But as in many other fields I read WAY too much at once and forgets all about it in a day or two instead of actually learning one thing before moving on. From the rules you list I get the sensation that in this theory there are fields we want to expose ourselves to that is heading in an approximately NE->SW (or N->S) direction. And that we want this field to move in a foot to crown or front to back direction through our bodies. Am I onto something there or am I judging an author by the cover of a single book here(wich is something I could very well do come to think of it)?

I actually do... And the bedroom and the bathroom also have a less then ideal orientation in relationship to eachother according to something I read recently (maybe in here). I remember reading about what directions would be beneficial to me some time ago but never implemented any of them. Seemed to be too much fuss and my directions and my girlfriends directions were in conflict. But now there is a move coming up so maybe its time to look into it some more. I decided to try this herbal tea today. I wasn't expecting much as it is one of those "cure all" formulas and I find that too good to be true. They call it "Chinese balance tea". Its contents is: - Garcinia cambogia, - Arctium lappa(NIU BANG ZI), - Taraxacum mongolicum (PU GONG YING), - Cynara scolymus L, - Filipendula ulmaria, - Rosmarinus officinalis(Mi tieh hsiang), - Dioscorea villosa (Shan yao), - Betula pubescens (birch leaves), - Urtica dioica, Glycyrrhiza uralensis (GAN CAO), - Colae semen, - Foeniculum vulgare (XIAO HUI XIANG), - Foeniculum vulgare(XIAO HUI XIANG), - Pimpinella anisum (Huai-hsiang), - Dana roti, - Viola Tricolor, - Fucus vesiculosus, - Smilax regelii, - Angelica sinensis (tang kuei) +they put alot of vibrational essences in there as well but translating those as well is not very tempting now, I should be in bed several hours ago. The point I was meaning to come to eventually was that it actually seems this remedy has done wonders from the very first dosage. I didn't expect this at all. I thougt that if I was to notice a difference it would at least take some time to do so. Can this remedy have anything to it or is it just a "feel good" effect that may actually worsen the underlying syndromes?

Hello I'm a 29 year old man from Norway. I've been in here a few times before due to googles guidance on my neverending search for understanding. I guess this quest though its intended purpose is to expand my awareness probably also is my biggest hindrance to doing so. I both physically, mentally and spiritually wander restless around in circles without really going anywhere and rarely remain focused on one thing for long enough to realize its potential. To use less words and be more precise, I have a overanalytical mind that wants to explore every facet of everything all at once and have a hard time focusing on one single thing because it can't stop searching for everything else. But at least it circles back around to the same subjects every so often. And taoist and related teachings are one of these subjects. I think my restlessness is coming from a general dissatisfaction with the direction my life has been heading in so far and a desperate need for discovering a new heading that will lead to a more satisfactory life. Desperation isn't really an emotion that helps much in trying to see more clearly where to go next. So my main motivational factor for exploring is also my main hindrance in getting anywhere.. I guess there really is a positive and a negative to anything.. Kinda strange presentation. But I'm also known to be a kinda strange person so I guess it fits me well. Dag.

Hejdu Rain, takk for velkomsten! And thank you to Yoda!
