Yes, Mr. Ordinary! My levels are still smooth and supa healthy! I take chlorophyll and probiotic on a daily basis. For liver "decongestion," I also find my liver get's "wrenched" out as a sponge during my circle turning. I don't even test for a certain virus anymore! Thanks to the powers of neigung and heaven and earth. The energy will come, don't be rude like I was and expect too much too soon when recovering from the truck accident. I am now finally where I feel 100 percent again. It surely could not have been possible without all the positive vibrations of my loved ones and friend on here too! I am a firm believer in sending out positive energy. I have began to dip my toes into tuina, now. I can't believe how close I am to starting a journey that my baguazhang was the catalyst for. I am planning on going into either herbology or physiology, as I have some classes already related to both under my belt and I aint' getting any younger, lol! This is one great group we have here! Much love to you ALL!

i see a beak and eyes almost a hawk or eagle like image was my first impression

Isn't Bruce Frantzis Liu's one of Liu's lineage holders? BKF said he was the STRONGEST of all the people he ever trained with and the old man weighed 110 lbs.

Zero beat me to the excellent Cheng ding shi vid! Here is a link that I wish had subtitles! It is chock full of good apps.

Interesting Green Tiger. I share your thoughts on not wanting to go into advanced level stuff sifu-less. I have most of his books, how much is new, would you estimate percentage wise?

I appreciate the feedback. Thanks R V and CD, FH and I see the point you all are making and YES the teachings have been perverted JB. I feel like there are good things that one can apply to better one's own life within that book called the Holy Bible. I am still finding trouble wording my query correctly but I am gonna sit back and read this thread nevertheless. Thanks everyone!

Would flowing hands or chidragon (anyone) explain why "having Christ in your heart" contradicts Internal Alchemy? Why would associating Christ(maybe just religon?) with his views make him NOT taoist? ...or render him ignorant of internal alchemy.

I have watched your youtube videos and liked some of them. I went to the taoleaks site and was dismayed at some rationalizations made on there abut this site. Anyone who logs on here is asked to go to the lobby first to get to know about the forum. There one will most likely learn it is not a strictly Taoist forum. That seemed to be your premise that it was an evil site to be avoided, this is only my opine mind you. Have you ever hear the phrase "you can't judge a book by it's cover?" I feel this is apt here. I think you might be familiar with the term SPIN as well. I feel that is what is happening by labeling the forum as harmful to one's health. Seems to be akin to media "hype-ing" up a story. Again, opinion. A very wise man once told me any press is good press. I would have remained silent, but I don't see why you visit a board that you truly believe is evil and could harm your health.

I hope a taoist in the know answers this! Great query!

I look at freezing up during stepping as a CNS glitch. Meditation will smooth them out. Proper circle walking is meditation. So walk smooth, I often start SUPER slow and loose, for me the loose ness is the hardest part and I suppose this is where the chi flow comes in, I had made generalization in my mind that SUNG = wu wei or yuan qi. Although I can see possible flaws in each. However, i will not derail any further as I do not fully understand the qi perspective of wu wei.

IMO, sound is energy. It is a wavelength right? (off topic: i read a new article which revealed that researchers have found that sound also travels in spirals, Fibinacce). Voice testing in I Chuan instantly came to mind. I read that old master Wang(i ccan never spell the last name right, the man that created YI QUAN) could put entire groups of people to sleep or induce another type of reaction with his voice.

Ours is the Jiang Rong Qiao and we have postures nearly identical animals except rooster. Our eight are lion, bear, snake, monkey,unicorn, phoenix, roc or flying dragon is what my sifu calls it and the standard dragon posture. Each has specific way of attacking your adversary.

Eli still has Erles entire Yang Cheng Fu long form to learn for free on YouTube!

wow great info! Thanks zerostao. I wonderwhy only three changes? I think because every other change is an innovation peculire to each master?

I need the ding shr as I already have the other two. Great price

I have his essence of ima v 1 and 2 as well as the TCM book I will dare say with a true foundation one could enhance internal alchemy period. The TCM book was worth the price for me for the liver tonification and Dao Yin.

wu family Kunlun Wudang Snake Unorthodox Cheng is 13 elbow form Unorothodox Fu Tornado Palm form. The wudang stuff is labled on youtube. Lao Xie waters down nothing. Beyond intricate. Hands on traing can tweak so many things it will speed up progress. The gung fu of the player must be there in both cases. No need to rush. More is less and less is more. BTW I by no means represent DGS but I can testify of the energetic and health benefits from what little I have had transmitted bless those who share. I still owe a debt.

excellent summation (is that a word?) of the dragon body foundation IMO. The seperation twist should slowly be built and the waist must do before the feet eventually linking the whole body. An instructor for alignment and dilligent play and ones conscience will lead the way.

I really like this quote! when i resonated with this itwas very inspiring. For me taoism is truly not a vehicle to attempt to go to any of these places. ... Nor can i recognize any as goals.
