  1. Belarusian politics

    Since everyone is talking about politics so much then I will, too While still under communist rule, there was founded Belarusian People's Republic(BNR) during the first world waaaaaaaaar, in 1918 or so It was independently founded and so they went to Lenin to ask to make Belarus independent, he declined Instead there was created a super communist Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic and BNR was exiled in 1920 Later during the second world war the flags were used by the German occupants while trying to create their own government, that didn't last long After WW2 Stalin saw Belarus as a place that could be easily influenced by the west and so he sent a lot of resourced into rebuilding it and Belarus recovered to how it was before the war But since it was also an important political place with a lot of important people in it, there were a lot of assassinations and killings in it by the government In 1991 Belarus became independent and in 1994 there was elected the first president He kept being reelected and that started a protest in 2010 when he won again while everyone still hated him They say BNR is the oldest government in exile because it still exists, BNR flags are used in protests against the current Belarusian president who became a dictator

  6. Spiritual growth and the strain on marriage

    Abandon all the spiritual. Everybody has spiritual needs that arise at some time in life and sometimes they go away when you think you've got what you needed. Sometimes you get trapped in the world of the spiritual people who have fancy books exercises and meditations. You would buy a book to get answers about the universe then start doing qi gong then buy another book then you will meditate until the end of your life. There's always some bigger secret of the universe to unravel and some powerful master who you would like to catch up with. It's like being hungry and looking at the menu without ordering anything, there's always something better. You should hold onto that feeling of wonder and don't bother going in too deep, it can suck your life away. It's better to be a child who looks at the stars asking where they came from then an adult who doesn't bother looking up because he knows every star and constellation. Your world is beautiful and you can show it when people are ready.

    hmm, so basically you guys are hipsters I just follow the bushidaooooo in my signature, easier to remember No one wants to be alone but don't want to be a part of the group, it's more fun to start your own.

  18. Horse stance

    No, riding a horse would be different. You would get similar benefits from running or jogging, you can also get runner's high from horse stance.
  19. Horse stance

    Experiment with mudras you would use when meditating in a full lotus. I heard that horse stance can slowly transform into the full lotus but to do that you need to learn how to fly eh, sounds like a fairy tale anyway You should intend your tailbone to touch the ground, imagine it's red and you are sitting on it. Your back should be straight, to do that turn your pelvis forward so your lower back straightens out. Tuck your chin in and imagine that your head is being held by a string above your temple. That spot from which your hair goes into every direction. Thing about mudras is, whichever one you do, it will influence the part/level your hands are on. So if you want to work on your heart, lift them up to your chest. Clap your hands very hard and rub them, do that a bunch of times until they hurt. Make it so they hurt so much that you can't really tell where your hands are and move them apart and keep rubbing them, trick yourself into feeling pain from rubbing as your hands don't touch anymore. Now imagine you are holding a heavy golden ball and it's very slippery, make it as big as you want but focus your attention and energy on it. Keep making it heavier and hotter, like you're holding the sun. When you're done, return it into your dan tien exactly like this http://youtu.be/ajaonqHRwLQ?t=2m20s Left side of your body is the inside so look left, breath in and breath out as you push it in, hands are a little apart at the later part Basic qi ball thing, will give you something to do

    Not using the hands, are we?
  22. Horse stance

    If you know the intentions of each move, you can hold them down to get a better effect from them Here's a Xingyi example This posture is supposed to be held like the horse stance and the visualization part is called the six direction force, head suspended from a string, palm is pushing forward, right index points left , left thumb points right, middle of the back backwards, and either dan tien is made heavy to point downwards or the tailbone needs to feel like it's touching the ground. Each posture in Tai Chi needs to be held down with the right intentions, too. For example, san ti shi looks like part of the opening move. In Yang style you stand on one leg most of the time so that's almost like doing the horse stance through the whole thing.
