Is it OK to charge people money for instruction?
Stigweard replied to goldisheavy's topic in General Discussion
A teacher should be financially independent of their students. If a teacher depends on their students for sustenance then they will have attachment to that student coming back. Sometimes the best that a teacher can do for a student is to send them away. I am not against charging mind you. Just as long as the above condition is met. PS. I don't charge my students, though I do except the donations they voluntarily offer. -

Notable questions. I agree Good question. Let's hear some views on this. ?? Well said I agree with the above two comments. We must be balanced. Rational knowledge in this matter can only take us so far and then we must take the proverbial leap into the abyss of direct experience. This is, I believe, what Vaj was saying in his comment in another post about coming from the heart. The Qi that can be described is not the universal Qi.

I heard ya In the Toltec tradition it is called "A Tale of Power." Forget the questions surrounding belief or disbelief, ask instead how this tale can inspire us to become more fully aware beings. Some will claim they know. Some will pretend it just isn't there. Some will be filled with endless questions. Only a warrior, through neither believing nor disbelieving, will access the living truth.

Deep abdominal breathing at least 1/2hr per day. Try to "hold" your energy no higher then your heart. Swallow saliva 9 times down to your Dan Tien with your breath (i.e. breath out when you swallow down) whenever you feel too much pressure in the head.
