My take. The display objects should not be taller or bigger than the deities.

It seems as there is an imbalance of pressure in the air passage of your hearing system.

It is from the heart and artery, but not from the brain. Is that what you meant.....???

The phrase in red need to be looked into more closely, please....... Are you saying that the oxygen is coming directly from the brain or it was meant something else....??? Hint: How do the muscle and brain cells get their oxygen.....???

The yin-yang thing is the theory from the intuition from the exercise of the masters. Without any intuition from the practice, there is no chance for advancement of comprehension. The movies are just for looks to capture the audiences. There maybe just a little theory to catch. The Concept of Yin-Yang is really for those who are dedicated to the practice of Tai Ji. I don't think it was for a novice. When someone reach to a deeper level will realize that is the theory behind the art. BTW Thank you for your advice. What I will do is to exercise in lieu with the concept in mind.

Applying the concept of Yin-yang. Considering the two types of motions: breathing and muscle movements Yin vs Yang: Internal vs Eternal -------------------------------------------------- Breathing vs Muscle movements Inhale(Yang) vs Relax(Yin) Exhale(Yin) vs Contract(Yang) Internal and external movements are in harmony 1. Internal inhalation(Yang) vs external muscle relaxation(Yin). 2. Internal exhalation(Yin) vs external muscle contraction(Yang). The pattern of Yin-Yang must be seen within the system, in order, to be considered the system is in harmony. Internal and external movements are not in harmony 1. Internal inhalation(Yang) vs external muscle contraction(Yang). 2. Internal exhalation(Yin) vs external muscle relaxation(Yin). The pattern of Yin-Yang are not seen within the system. The Yang-Yang and Yin-Yin are repelling each other; therefore, the systems were considered to be not in harmony. This is the deeper level of understanding about the Concept of Yin-Yang. That is how Tai Ji Chuan was developed by utilized the concept. There is a saying by the Tai Ji practitioners: 靜如山(Still like a mountain); 動如海(Moving like an ocean); Still is Yin Moving is Yang This is a good example to show how the Concept of Yin-Yang was applied in a combat situation. Yin defeats the Yang. Scenario #1 for Tai Ji practitioner. While one is standing still(Yin) and the opponent is moving(Yang), thus one is in the Yin state reserving the energy while the opponent is wasting energy by moving which is in the Yang state. As soon they make contact, one will move swiftly as the raging waves of the ocean with all the reserved energy. The Yin state became the Yang state. While the Yang state of the opponent became the Yin state due to the loss of energy from moving, here we are again, the Concept or Yin-yang was in effect. This gives a less chance for the opponent to succeed. Scenario #2 for Kung Fu practitioner. One might have noticed that, when tow kung fu fighters they are moving and jumping around before an attack. Both opponents had put themselves in a Yang state at the beginning. Thus by the time they make contact; they had already put themselves in the Yin state due to the waste of energy with a bad start. Hence, the Concept of Yin-Yang did not apply, here, which gives a less chance for both opponents to succeed.

It did't sound like the Chinese styles of Chi Kung medition. So far, only you have described them as such types in this forum. Where did you learn all the different types of meditation for each organ....???

Are you saying that you are not getting any smarter from these....??? That's why this thread was created....???

If you think that is how it works, then play it.......

1. "to mentally activate acupoints and reflexology areas" will make acupuncture and acupressure useless.....!? 2. All the things are given and come within the practice of Tai Ji. No other specialties are needed. 3. Nei Gong is the practice for internal organs, not merdians.

Please go back to Post #93 and read the part about ATP recycling.

Yes, you didn't. The TCM only mentioned two kinds of Jing, the pre-natal Jing and post-natal Jing and no other Jing as you had preferred as some kind of Jing. Since no other Jing was mentioned in the TCM, and it was stated that the Jing was transformed into qi, then, the "Jing" mentioned here has to be referred to as the "pre-natal Jing" from our parents. Even tough, one may assume that the Jing from other organs but it is still the essential unite of the body. Again, it is still aiming back to the body cell as the smallest unite of the body. PS..... I must admit that I made a mistake, in the above posts, actually what I meant about Jing should be "post-natal" instead of "pre-natal". I will cross it out to make the correction. Sorry, I was correct in the first place. I have made the correction once more.

I'll say you have a poor memory. Please get the fact straight and handle the discussion in a non-gossip manner.

ATP recycling Anyway, ATP cannot be stored as oppose to "pre-natal Jing" which is always there in a preexisted condition. This is the point I was trying to make. I repeat, based on this fact, ATP is not the Jing as you thought it might be.

Yessssssssssssssss. Unless you can stated otherwise.

My books give me better reasons. What kind of reasons can you give me....???

The "Emptiness" for a Taoist is a goal to have the mind in a State of Serenity for complete stillness, quietness, or tranquility. So, the mind will be calm for body cultivation. Another words, no external disturbances or interruptions. The "Emptiness" for a Buddhist is a goal to have an empty heart to due away with mental suffering from striving for materialism. The Buddhists do not want to contrive in the rat race which was causing all the human suffering and emotional bitterness. As far as emotional concern, the Taoist has not initial problem to begin with. However, in Buddhism, the practitioner has an emotion problem due to family affair or personal conflict with society. Mentally, they cannot take it anymore, therefore they want to run away from all the turmoil and become a Buddhist. PS.... These are only the general and basic phylosophy between the two religions. However, there are lot more issues to it for those who want to go in deeper.

How can ATP is coming from the western as opposed to eastern point of view pinning it down can be a bit ambiguous...??? The western view of ATP was described down to a microscopic level. ATP was described as a form of biochemical energy which was generated by decomposing the glucose by the oxygen in the muscle cells; and only lasted for few second if it was not utilized. The ATP energy is not a form of substance. In TCM, Jing is an essence which is the basic unite of the body. The basic unite of the body is the pre -natal Jing. The vitalization of pre-natal Jing must be maintained by post-natal Jing. In western science, the basic unite of the body is the body cell. The vitalization of the body cells is also maintained by the glucose and the oxygen. Hence, I would say that a "pre-natal Jing" is analogous to a "body cell". Since ATP is not a substance, therefore, it cannot be equivalent to a body cell or Jing. There is another contradiction, the ATP was generated within the body cells by "Cell Respiration". Therefore, one may not and cannot conclude by stating that the ATP is analogous to "pre-natal Jing" or "body cell". Added to edit: Replace "pre" with "post" for the natal jing.

Well, you did mention on a "deeper level" of intuition.... Yes, "follows the thought" is the yi(意) which is the intent of the mind.

The concept of Yin-yang came from the source of light. The light is active which is Yang, while the shadow is passive which is Yin. Yin-yang becomes two categories of duality. To answer your question in regarding to good and evil. In this case, good would be considered as Yang, and evil as Yin. Doing something is active which Yang and doing nothing is passive which Yin. Just keep in mind how to determine which is Yin or Yang by thinking which is active and which is passive. Yang is active and Yin is passive.

If so, I wouldn't say that ATP as JIng. Do you want to give it second try.......???

If you read about it online, just google "ATP", it may change your mind about it for being "jing"

Anybody can said anything. It is up to the reader to accept it or not. I do understand how my body works by some reliable sources, but not just by going what I had been told. Perhaps, you may understand how the body works based on somebody else's understanding. I know the body energy will be diminished in seconds when it was not used. The kind of body energy I am talking about is adenosine triphosphate(ATP).

So far, I see that sree is not looking for anything nor hope for anything. He just put some white words on a piece of white paper..... Hopefully, we'll see something black and white pretty soon. Perhaps a black eagle standing on a top of snow mountain.
