Tell us about that "Let everything be as it is" meditation from the CD... does it offer what it says?

Absolutely!!! & Dan... it's not about mentioning MW but the way how...

Affenbrot yesterday lent me the book "The Magus of Java"... taken from the intro you read: "In the oast a Chinese MAster never taught his apprentices 100 percent of his knowledge. Instead he retained, say, the foremost 10 percent for himself alone. Perhaps he would write down the rest in a document for his favorite student, to be opened after his death... The result of this approach was that the sum of each clan'S learning decreased by 10 percent with each generation, until some charismatic student was able to decipher the mystery and returnto the status of the original teacher, at which point the cycle went on with his students, and so forth... The capabilities and exploits of the Masters became the stuff of legend, and later the storyline of the Chinese opera." taker whatever you want from it Harry

If you decide to go for the standing one you might as well have a look at Dirk Oellibrandt's Meridian QiGong... Harry

Yeah. I would want to have learned all the important and really working healing arts and be able to pply them with people who honestly need it. As you mentioned it: as I backup I will very likely be starting in a networkmarketing business of a "new" nutritional product... should you be interested in participating drop me a line... the initial costs are pretty low and basically just for your own supply... Harry

I tried it (even in "megadoses") and felt no effect at all... nevertheless I love their products...

Don't know why I write it, as you won't read it... I resonate much with what you say... but all the practices you mention are there for one reason: EXPERIENCE!!! They are part of experiencing existence... part of experiencing what is there. If there is anything at all life is good for it is EXPERIENCE, EXPERIENCE, EXPERIENCE take my word for it Harry

Just a short question. I would like to have a program that allows me to create links... I want to get my collection of acupuncture material toegther. similar to creating a webpage. I want to have the ability to click on a word and get to a new page. I want to be able to integrate little video sequences... it shall become my electronic acupuncture booklet that I can cary around on DVD... any ideas? thankx much in advance Harry PS: best that it is not too complicated

Anybody got them? anybody willing to get them & sharing with the community? I am currently not having the money for doing this and I was a bit put off by his approach of saying: well. I might not do it again... but would be glad if some of you make them available Harry

This is something to argue about... I think that it is NECESSARY to keep the ability of consciously doing something in deep meditation. If you can not do this you have left deep meditation into trance/sleep state which I personally feel to be counterproductive... just a thought Harry

I have to pass that question to someone of better knowledge. Maybe someone wants to write them and ask the question directly... what they miss in the article is that you sure enough can get HIV by oral sex even without ingestion of the semen... and I wonder how a female manages not to swallow at least a bit of it if the man has lost its control??? regarding loosing weight: One thing Dr. Stephen Chang mentions is that a woman who wants to stay thin should not swallow the very nutritious semen as it actually might add to her weight... I am not that sure about that statement either. sorry Harry

I originally thought about one of those meditation timer clocks... but 100 Dollars for that currently is a bit much... so I looked for alternatives and came across the following webpage: http://swamij.com/YogaMeditationCDs.htm I got the Meditation timer CD & the Practices timer CD ($6 each). The Practices Timer CD every 5 minutes tells you were you are at in time, saying: Five, Ten, fifteen etc. The Meditation timer CD has 5 tracks. First track is a short intro information... each other track includes either 5, 10, 20 or 30 minutes each starting with an "Ommm" sound and ending with that sound. I very much enjoy the meditation timer!!! My only wish: The meditation timer before each "ommm" sound tells you which track you use... so it say: "Five" and then the "ommm" sound starts and silences and leaves you with 5 minutes silence and ends with "ommm"... this does not disturb if you just want to do the 5 minutes or 10 or 20... but if you want to set your player to repeat one track (like for standing meditation where you want to change arm position every 5 minutes for example) then always getting told the track length is a little disturbing. So Swami. If you read this. Maybe you can create a track with the "ommm" sound without the words telling about which time-track one is on. Reading the introduction to the disk one knows that anyway... Nevertheless: I DO SUGGEST YOU GET THESE DISCS. They are VERY HELPFUL for practice so that you do not need to have a look on a watch (which distresses you from practice) in order to know where you are... GET THEM Harry

I think by lightly contracting that area one can achieve the same effect... Harry

Yep, yep. And later to be burned to a DVD to carry all the knowledge of thousands and thousands of years in my pocket... what's a wiki? Harry

Ken, if I remember correctly you advise to take nutritional supplements in todays time... so you don't think that charging with the energies of the sun & moon and all living things around us, the universe that that is enough for a practitioner to be fully "nutritionally" supported? Why then practice? I thought that practice leads to being able to transcend being under the influence of the 5 elments? thankx

You want the localization of the points? http://www.yinyanghouse.com/acupoints.html

Taken from Deadman at al: "The yuan-source points were listed in chapter 1 pf the Spiritual Pivot as follows: LU-9 Taiyuan for Lung PE-7 Daling for Heart SP-3 Taibai for Spleen LIV-3 Taichong f. Liver KID-3 Taixi f. Kidney REN-15 Jiuwei f. the 'gao' (the area below the heart) REN-6 Qihai f. the 'huang' (the area above the diaphragm) It is notable that in this passage, Daling PE-7 is given as the yuan-source point of the Heart, and it was not until the Systematic Classic of Acupuncture and Moxibustion that the shu points (including the yuan-source point) of the Heart channel were first discussed. The yuan-source points of the six fu were given in Chapter two of the Spiritual Pivot." THE CONFLUENT POINTS OF THE EIGHT EXTRAORDINARY CHANNELS To activate their respective extraordinary channel LU-7 Lieque for the Conception Vessel/REN MAI SI-3 Houxi for the Governing/ DU MAI SP-4 Gongsun for the Penetrating/ CHONG MAI GB-41 Zulinqi for the Girdling/DAI MAI KID-6 Zhaohai for Yin Motility/YIN QIAO MAI BL-62 Shenmai f. Yang Motility/YANG QIAO MAI PE-6 Neiguan f. Yin Linking/YIN WEI MAI SJ-5 Waiguan f. Yang Linking/YANG WEI MAI

& all I can say is: I think I've got to do some muscle testing first before I even intend to try it out... This thing is about the same hight as the original bit twoandahalf to three times as thick...(if I can trust me eyes...) report to come Harry sunshine (don't know whats my name after the test )

O.k. I have decided to have a go. During the next few days I will be trying it in different way. The usual, turned 180 degrees (which gives a different form/rounding towards the prostate), doing it the way Seb Cox advises on the package, doing it my ways... keeping it in all night etc. etc. etc. In order to give a well balanced report I will give a complete concluding report and stay away from posting each experience individually. What I can tell you so far is that although it is much bigger than the Aneros-types it for whatever reason seemed to be a lot easier to introduce... as a glide-substance I used the Stephen Chang cream which (besides being meant for the skin) is said to be healthy for the prostate applied via rectum... it went flawless... until soon Harry still sunshine

Or its a lineage traditional diagnosis

Well. I assume then that they have no clue of tongue or pulse diagnosis

YOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU, youuuuuuuuu, YOU!!!! thankx much for solving the puzzle... man was I puzzled... weren't you meant to be a female??? Holy cow... you know what Deb said as we left... she said... Harry... I DO THINK you & Ian should get to know each other better... you have some similarities... by the way. Thankx much for retyping all the addresses... Welcome man... welcome... And it sure was a pleasure meeting you, even though we had not that much exchange... maybe in the future? Harry

From a TCM point of view one is usally after the spleen function... if it leaves marks (smears) it is a sign for spleen deficiency... which very likely most in modern society tend to have... Harry

Daniel... just to rebalance your extreme view... I personally did not enjoy Stephen Chang's book and DO LIKE M. Winn's 1 & 2 VERY MUCH... Harry sunshine
