Gung Hei Faat Choi ! Randi and I are having a big CNY party on the 31st in Columbia, SC... All tbums are invited!! The Happy Gods will be there so don't miss it!! -Yoda

no problem! Whether borax ends up being good or bad, I definitely took too much. Read one guy who said that taking borax cured his arthritis, but it was just him licking his fingertip and sticking it in the borax box (he said that was his '30mg' dose). I read about borax mining and per my reading, the only solvent they use is water to separate the borax from clay so that's good. Will pick up some boron, though.

I'm glad you like the practice! K can be done with hatha yoga and tai chi type movement practices, standing meditation, and sitting meditation. I'm told that kundalini oriented practices are best to avoid until you know what you are doing. Normal mantras can be done but separated from K by a couple of hours.

It looks like borax goes by peng sha in tcm.

So headache gone... I couldn't tell if it was a detox thing or I'm-a-dying-cockroach thing but it seems to have passed whatever it was. If I read the test results correctly, the ld50 of borax is much safer than the corresponding asprin score I took to deal with it, but it still may well qualify as a don't-try-this-at-home type of a thing...

Where was Taomeow 2 hours ago??? Meanwhile back at the ranch, I've got quite the headache!! But if I can score a few o at a d's then it'll all be worth it!

After a quick review of the LD50 scores of various things I've ingested, I took about 1/2 tsp 30 minutes ago and feel fine. If anything goes wrong I'll let you knouaiopig; dsgjlcbkxvm,.khoyi05920gji ;ioj helpme!poafwuieonhf;akl dmvn,.z idlgh io;v;

anyone test piloted borax yet? Or should I be the first?

welcome to taobums!!

Sharon, Welcome 2 tbums! My mom lives in Brevard and I'm in Columbia, SC... good 2c SErs around!! Your pal, Yoda

Friday the 23rd is the last day for cleaning! http://www.daoismworld.com/forumbb/viewtop...it=cutting#p144

Dr Judd told me any opaque bar soap is perfect.

I could use a hot tip! If your secret is public domain do tell! (eat less?)

Nice sunset session vid! Speaking of sharing spontaneous neikung vids, they've put a laugh track to the Old Glory vid... hmmm. My fav is the Bushmen vid on shakingmedicine.com and of course Stevie Wonder.

Starjumper, I had assumed that those two terms were synonymous. Didn't know about silent reflux. Your pal, Yoda

I haven't crunched the numbers, but it looks like I'll be the ultimate post whore for another 2-3 years thanks to my early start.

Chrisn, hatha yoga, taichi, stance training are considered compatible with K. Also normal mantras are as long as they are separated from K practice by a couple of hours. I don't know what y'all are doing, but hopefully that helps.

So she tried the vegan thing for 2 weeks but no luck this time around. Not sure if she'll keep it up or not. tried the d-lemonene/orange peel stuff. Some luck there. Seems to work like vinegar does. I'll run all the above ideas by her but it's likely Dr. time by her figuring. Not sure if they have anything better than drugs or surgery, though.

shuidefangshi, Congratulations on your decision to become a tbum... I knew you had it in you!! Your pal, Yoda PS, definitely check out AugustLeo's spiritual autobiography in the personal practice section at some point here it is: http://www.thetaobums.com/The-Stories-of-My-Life-t8569.html

kidney time is 5-7 am or pm?

The precious bodily fluids path is just one of many.

going too long (over 30-40 min a day regularly) caused me some psychological difficulties... the gods started attacking me in my dreams!! There's something about the sun's energy that is highly taboo. I wanted to push through it, but my personal life couldn't deal so I quit the whole project to return some other day when my wiring is more ready for it. I'm doing maybe a minute a day right now.

In "Melatonin" by Reiter he quotes an ancient Chinese source saying that looking at the sun releases secretions from the brain. But that's all I know. Keep us posted as to what you think and go easy with it... that sunny is a live wire!! I am doing just a *tiny* bit right now.

Sean is a very easy going guy and he doesn't hold grudges or anything. I've killed several of his cats in front of him and he's always been totally cool with it.
