Always very much appreciated by me and I'm sure others to have you on the boards to give such good prospective of the Taoist world in these areas for people whom are not Taoist Monks or Hermits, for many years. Genuinely, wt

This is not always so. It is said though, where the mind goes the chi follows. Disclaimer: The mind is not directly talking about ones intentions. Therefore the ones western understanding of the brain can arise many things and one could easily not follow their true heart, or primordial chi, or their real mind. This is called following the false heart. Peace, Genuinely wt

Women lose Jing from sexual acts. Even the thought of the mind wondering creates pockets of time when your not holding you energy within you. I've heard many times on this website on many different posts that these things happen even before you start to think about it. That the mere intention happens before your thoughts happen. Weather it is your intention or another person intention. Women lose Jing through sexual secretions. Although much much lose then men do through ejaculation. Although most people get confused or mixed up between females losing lots of Jing through sexual acts. Most of there Jing is lost through there blood when they have a period. Many women before every having sex and being of age to start the process of having periods don't have them except once every 3 months. I've heard of reports of healthy females naturally grow up only having a period every 4-6 months even. These are honestly 100% not unnatural things. I believe female monks have special ways to have the periods stop. Although they do not force it. The process is a long process taking months and months to achieve of hard diligent practice. I'm sure such a practice may be genuinely taught in all female Taoist Mountains. (where the temples are strictly all females). Anyway, its just seems extremely unpractical in my opinion at least for a layman (women in this case) to do or achieve such practices. Although I'm sure it could be done given one has a proper teacher. Peace, wt P.S. Should be understood to know extensively upon the subject before even searching for a teacher properly qualified to teach such a thing.

Thanks for your answer. Ramon25 are you claiming that to be a Taoist you basically have to do a few or a bunch of different classified Taoist practices. I could easily call myself a Taoist then right? Although I still interested in hearing nac's definition of what a Taoist is.

Well I held back my question for enough time to find out the following What I immediately identified when i first looked at this thread and I'm sure many others noticed was the two pole questions that say "Yes. I'm Taoist." and "No. I'm Taoist." I'm wondering nac what is your definition of a Taoist? Peace, wt

It is sad to think the process of Jing to qi is so simple as not ejaculating. There are specific reason why Internal Alchemy (inner alchemy) represents intricate metaphors of feelings along with changes within the body. Its one thing to attempt to produce this by yourself. Unfortunately it doesn't compare to actually train in such things with a teacher and do the practices diligently and often.

I guess it should not be to my surprise but you are persistent mythmaker.

Finding information about this stuff shouldn't be to hard to do. Studying it is a little different. Checking sources, cross referencing. Especially when there is a huge craze of one way to deit or eat. To start to understand about cause of insulin issues you want to directly look at Glycemic index. Lots of stuff to get you started on the net alone. Peace, Virtue wt

11:33 He is correct about whole grains or eating a lot of them will raise your insulin levels. I have no clue where he gets his numbers from. Whole grains are much better they are supposed to fill you up faster. Have a bunch more fiber and don't nearly over time destroy your digestive system like simple carbs do. As far as American Diets go. The whole thing about switching to whole grains is a big step. Although if this is already you than go the step further and reduce the amount you intake. You shouldn't put yourself up to the standards of the average American. It is simply not healthy to think like this. But restriction on how much carbs you eat is important depending on your lifestyle. My personal recommendation is simply eat vegetables more than anything else. No matter your life style. Peace, Virtue, wt

Which is a complex science that few understand parts of how it works. Thanks Smile for sharing the video.

Nicely said and I can not disagree with you. Please understand Stig and all whom read this post. I'm not exclaiming that I don't want to be inspired or to be in the spirit. I'm only trying to get people to think why one wouldn't want to be inspired.

Sorry double post

So true. Although the women's free will may have been to allow or to be opened to such interest with another male. I agree with the above quote so much specifically because I do not believe being a part or playing into the idea of my own attachments, nor my desires. If a female is attracted to me and I played my part to looking for attraction I realize I'm partly at blame already. Although I realize this isn't the way I like to live my life. In the past realized that many women put themselves in situations where I could easily take advantage of things they are not aware of or easily use them for my own wants and desires with little care or respect for those females. It is solely because of this that I really hold true very true to my principles to not take part in this sort of behavior. Even if I didn't use the specific situation to my advantage I realize that I wish not to treat anyone as I would not want to be treated. It is because I hold such high ideals that I cling not going off to have a little fun because it would only pave a road for that women to distract my focus of my path. I exclaim this could easily happen because almost all times when I attempted to get back on my path within the last three years I found myself put in many situations where I should be focusing but instead finding myself falling to my own desires. I understand its alright to fall into this sort of desires. Many have advocated for me to do so. Although the issue is simple in my mind. I should not purposely bring anyone else into my own issues especially whom could easily not have the proper tools to deal with me. So I'm exclaiming two different internal issues I would get caught up in and always close to braking point found myself not wanting act upon. One, is the fact I went off my own path. Two, the manor in which I would present myself which was such a dubious manor with little respect for women. Please understand I'm not anti women I'm rather anti seek pleasure in a way that is different from my upbringing. I am just seeking the path to a chosen road in which as a kid I thought was an option. I was taught it was a option. I was brought up a little this way not fully or successfully but still brought up this way to some extent. I followed always to fix the pieces behind that was never put together properly to allow me to go towards my chosen path. (So yes it is also my chosen path) Peace, Virtue wt

Your understanding of Yin and Yang is not incorrect. While investigating something the mind or something you sense or feel about inside you are attempting to use a theory which is a great way to start to deal with things. For a better understanding of Yin and Yang ideal or Yin Yang theory's I direct you to Taoism / TaoBums FAQ compiled and compliments of Stig through this link you can easily find a bunch of talk about Yin and Yang. Hope all goes well. I'm sure this website will direct you to discussions of Yin and Yang that could help your investigation. P.S. you should understand that nothing can be completely seperate from Yin and Yang. When there is extreme yin there is a little germ or part still Yang. The same goes the other way around. That is what Spirit Ape was talking about. Please feel free to ask me any other questions. I also hope that me directing you to other resources it does not look as if I'm attempting not to offer whatever knowledge I have that may be of help to you. Peace, Sincerely, wt

Why would one not want to be inspired? Peace, Virtue wt

huh? Mind explaining a little more?

hehe, Scotty. It is true, depending on the system and the practice they specifically perscribe different times of the day to practice. There are specific reasons. This holds true with different Taoist Sects as well as comprehensive family styles and/or practices.

I second and like what Wudangspirit exclaims. Sometimes its kind of hard to deal with the change of dealing with inner frustration. It is the process of building up ability to deal with it that makes us feel that we are hardening ourselves to that feel your not addressing.

Well if you can't step up the amount of time your meditating step up the quality of the meditation. Although that may be obvious advice for the next one let me be extremely opened and nice towards you. weather you do 20 minutes, one hour or two hours at least get the average highest quality meditation at least twice a day. In other words lets say I do one and a half hours of meditation daily. But with the meditation I do I can only keep my mind focused for an hour. I would at least take that one hour and do it twice a day. (The following example does not actually represent what I can do currently or weather this was or wasn't my best ever) High quality and multiple times a day is very helpful with diligent practice doing it daily. I am merely speaking from experience and what teachers have taught me to do in the past. I hope that helps. If all that advice you already know or do. Than I would say see a acupuncturist for consultation. Through there you can figure out what meridians you should be working on. That should give you a jump start.

Its individually based those times. You may be prescribed different times depending on your needs. Its important to practice every day. Prescribing specific times and days may not be nearly as helpful for you if you can not even sit in meditation for over an hour. I'd suggest working daily for more than once is really helpful. The beginning goal should be at least 20 minutes at least twice a day. However you decide to get there is up to you.

I'm sorry to hear that. My story about me and my immediate family and my aunts and uncles is a little similar when I attempted to get help from them. (Only because caught up karmically from the issues my siblings made) You see although I would clearly state at many times for my own lack of ability I was a douche. In my eyes it was a way of protecting myself. The truth was it was just harmful to people. The more I grew up the more I realized this and the less I do it. Although my parents ability to deal with the situation since then has drastically changed. I no longer gain any sort of help for dealing with things. I feel that the burden is all placed on me to do the right thing because no one else will. This is only to protect help fix the things I played a bad part in. Although the negative abusiveness from my parents (Which they never learned how to get over) and the abuse of my siblings can become to great for me to deal with it. I attempt again and again ways to deal with it but best way to deal with it is not to be there when it happens. Maybe this right now is a great reminder telling me I should work on it on my own now that I'm not so closely attached to them. I can definately relate. I have a brother whom is apart by two years. Its really sad to realize that my family continues such abusive style of dealing with me and others. They also not only do that to me but others they have a hard time dealing with. The issue is they are attempting to manipulate what they want from others instead of letting others be the way they want. Its greatly unfortunate that I have a hard time dealing with my family and shared issues. They aren't willing to work on there issues. Some of it is intentional some of it isn't. But they just continue to pave a bigger karmic debt attempting that the bigger extremes they go to that they may end up gaining control over others. Thankfully I can and do learn from my mistakes. My family on the other hand aren't interested in learning in there mistakes but continue to willing to go further and further just to gain control or manipulation of others. I've gotten over being controlled but I still fall into manipulation a lot. Any helpful advice would be greatly appreciated. Peace, Virtue WTiger P.S. my mother is the most abusive and manipulative. Should I say hurtful verbally abusive among other things. I no longer take part in. Though I still find it hard to deal with.

I second that.

Great words! This is true. Hopfully this answered your question froggie.

So if we assume the orgone energy theory. (which I'm not disputing weather its true or not) It claims that it improves peoples sexuality and growth. This may be beneficial if we are a dying race. I don't think our race is dying currently. Maybe suffering.
