I love "Use-by Dates"

I started with the Yijin Jing 易筋經 "Muscle/Tendon Change Classic" offered by Danial Reid in his "Guarding the Three Treasures". Simple and direct form with a beautiful focus on the six secret sounds. Was my first encounter with this mysterious Qi energy. Learned traditional Zhan Zhuang through my Yang Style Taijiquan training. An absolute must. Now also practice BaBao, the Eight Treasures, taught by Master Ni Hua Ching. (This isn't the Eight Brocades). It is a wonderful balance of stretching, strength/stability work, and Qi intent training.

Cheers for your contributions here Ya Mu.

Grow little babies ... 2 weeks after transplanting I expect to see some leaf growth as the moon goes to full moon.

Please don't do this unless you have either many years of qigong practice and/or you are working with a good teacher. Outside of this criteria you should in no way attempt to this sort of energetic manipulation. Mantak Chia has a simple and practical technique for redirecting the flow of sexual energy. It is practiced (for men ) by simply standing on the toes whilst urinating and stopping the urine. Focus in on exactly which muscles you need to engage to perform this action. Repeating this when you "feel the physical stirring of my loin" should be enough to "eliminate the discomfort". Please don't do any more than this unless you have the necessary experience and personal instruction.

The Story So Far (cont) .... YIKES!!! When you hear that THUNK stop and check before you keep going. It may not be the tree root you think it is. Luckily this was just a down water pipe that I missed in my plan. In Australia always Dial 1100 Before You Dig. Not sure what it is for other countries, in the US, they've recently set up the 811 program. A quick plumbers call and we redirected the down pipe away from our site. "Do it properly now boys". The over grown shrubs were stealling our sunlight, so we called in "Kenny's Kuts" to trim it all up. With the turbo powered shredder we were provided with MOUNDS of fresh mulch for the compost. A happy gardener. That compost pile is a treasure trove!!!

The Story So Far (cont) .... The finished bed on the right is noticeably higher then the one thats yet to be 'double-dug'. In go the new babies at the full moon. The biggest root growth is just after the full moon so this helps with transplanting. Poor little buggers were wilted for a day or so cause of the transplant ... called root shock. Time to prepare the new compost pile. Loosen 12" down under the site first for aeration and water dispensation. Time to get the compost pile going. It's like a big chocolate mud cake !! Steps: 1. Loosen soil 12" below area 2. 5" layer of dry twigs, branches etc. 3. 4" layer of draw vegetable matter like straw 4. 2" layer of green matter including kitchen wastes 5. 1" layer of soil that was dug from the first trench in the garden 6. Repeat 3 - 5 until 4 - 5 ft high Remember to water your compost just like you would your garden bed. Not too much though, cause you will drown the microorganisms.

The Story So Far (cont) .... LOL Remember to put gloves on BEFORE blisters start forming Working across the width of the bed, dig out one trench of soil to be used in the first compost. Little Akasha keeping a close eye on things for me Using a spading fork, loosen the soil down another 12", spread some more compost on the lower level and mix through. Then shovel the next top layer over on top. Continue this down the whole length of the bed. Getting a few pointers midway through the dig Damn cheap crap !!! Thats the second digging fork !!!

The Story So Far.... Step 1: Plot out the area. Cheap crap !!! Loosening soil in order to remove grass. First shaping of the beds. Put as much as 1 inch of compost over the top and mix this into the top 12" with a spading fork. As it was our first time through we had to buy 8 bags of compost.

Breathe ... just breathe.

Or maybe you have missed the message that all your questions and queries about immortality are the one thing that stand in the way of you achieving it. So, quite simply, "Shut the hell up and eat your goddamn breakfast!!!"

LOL not unless my double is out there playing tricks again There's an old saying: People wont change what they are doing until the pain of staying the same far outweighs the pain of changing. I personally don't think people will make the changes outlined here until they really start feeling the pain.

It's true, most people wont perform to their full potential until their backs are against the wall and the sword is above their heads. That's why folks who are 'in the know' must fulfill the role of "stewards of the flame," if you will excuse the poetic speech. We must gather and guard the knowledge of spiritual evolution, agricultural efficiency, environmental sustainability, and social harmony, and carefully pass this knowledge from generation to generation. Sooner of later humanity is going to be forced to turn to these more sustainable lifepaths and we must make sure this knowledge and technologies are available or else humanity evolves into an unfortunate abomination. Oh and Blasto, you have my vote ... when do you run for office?

Yup ... Australia has the same service: Dial 1100 Before You Dig Fortunately this was just a rainwater downpipe outlet that escaped my notice so wasn't on my 'map'. $70 for a plumber and we have diverted the pipeline away from the garden
