effective, organized, and free! Even if Hinduism isn't one's preferred path, reading the online book is highly recommended. They have a great forum too!

fun! I liked the moon diagram one towards the bottom too.

welcome to taobums!

One year ago... many happy memories!

So it's been about a year since I discovered colonblow, poo ropes, clay etc. I do a "P&B shake" (psyllium and bentonite) maybe once every week or every other week these days. I think that the combo is really good and the underlying ingredients to make good, sturdy poo ropes. I have an appreciation for Sonne's clay... it's easier to ingest than most other clays. A nice combo to take with fasting and/or with taking right before breaking a fast.

Hundun, Thanks for the tip!! I'll go with his music as far as I can and then take the vibe to something more groovy. Your pal, Yoda

Topflight, Go to my personal practice discussion from a few days ago and click on the Caucasian Yoga link for more hints on how to build one's own rods. Sounds like a magnet in the left hand and some copper in the right would be a basic start. Your pal, Yoda

this might be a dumb question, but do you need the music to shake? I got my cds but I don't know when I'm going to check them out. I always seem to pause with Keeney's stuff!

I am told that people who are sensitive to their feelings have found that their experiences follow their vibrational state. I like to believe that's true.

Fun thread... I heart toys!! Very limited experience on my end but I believe that natural is better than high tech and less is sometimes more: Even if a device "improves" me I find it irritating to wear in the long run. That goes even for cheap power crystals. A black rock seems to be the only thing that I can carry around or wear that I don't reject. About charging up a space, I like the standard orgonite thingies but I'd imagine that Smile is right (he always is in the end) about gold dust, crystal powder, etc to really pump up the vibe. I've been playing with egyptianhealingrods.com recently and seem to have a balancing effect similar to what one can acheive with the 5 healing sounds or 5 element standing, or other organ/element balancing yogas. I'd imagine that the rods are employing Smile's orgonite ideas. They are pricey 200-400ish. There are directions on how to make them on my personal thread in the recent book link. I think it's zinc tube plus magnet for left hand and copper tube packed with coal in the right for a basic unit. I've only had the rods for a few weeks and it takes me a lot longer than that to get a bead on something. I've been reading some books by Laurence Gardner recently and will get to his Lost Secrets of the Sacred Ark. He's a scholar who is okay to gun it on the intuition department frequently and fall back on unverifyable legend and lore, which I appreciate. And he's going to make the argument that the ark of the covenant was a capacitor: gold on wood on gold for the shell and filled with monoatomic gold powder and goodies like that on the inside with lots of other things going on I'd imagine. I'm planning to experiment with magnets soon and have a $10 magnet on order from Edmunds Scientific and I'm going to do the third eye breathing drill with it as Peter Ragnar suggests. I'll have to read up on using the north (?) side of the magnet towards the body. So far, I've had the best luck in the $10 or less department and the more expensive gear can be duplicated by some sort of corresponding practice especially organ balancing practices like the healing sounds, 5 element rituals, etc. Yoda PS, It's my understanding of the qray bracelet study that the qray bracelet and the placebo bracelet were off the chart effective at curing all sorts of maladies. Some say that that's the power of the placebo effect others say that the placebo bracelet must have been made of a beneficial metal too, etc. Which reminds me, I can carry around metal without getting weirded out. I own a copper bracelet and like it but don't wear it much.

a bit pricey for a nut bowl!

I bet not so many people actually died but since it does seem like this spontaneous neikung system was inspired by high stress conditions I'm sure there were some who used it as a convenient means of egress: http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2008/08/01/d...th-mystery.html

Chris' work here is done.

While I have plenty far to go in this department, really feeling peaceful and content and happy about money (and in general) is the key. Doing rituals, meditating, and any else to make you feel good can all contribute to one's finances in the long run. In the short run, having little money is a huge blessing. I had passed the hat to family members to lend me money for some business ideas and they wisely refused to invest in my little enterprises as they knew that I didn't have the necessary business maturity and also recognized that just having a bit of cash was the more appropriate and safer situation than going into weird family debt which would have upped the stakes considerably. As spiritual cultivators, we are extremely sensitive types and can sometimes have a time of it when it comes to fitting in with the business world, so take it all with a grain of salt and be sure to have fun with the process.

Welcome to taobums! Nice website!

Welcome to taobums! We definitely need more Scots! Not from Edinburgh by any chance?

I'm stoked you are feeling good!!

I guess the long hair doesn't work with law enforcement, but it looks cool!

It is pretty surprising, but there you have it.

I like that India doesn't mess with daylight savings. I've gotten my calendar marked. My relationship with my alarm clock is glitchy, but I'll try to make it!

Why they don't teach this stuff in school is beyond me!!

Teddy, I know the feeling!!! I don't have any cultivation oriented pals in Columbia, SC. Then again, us cultivators don't play well with others!! It's lovely to have the internet in the meantime. Your pal, Yoda

Freeform, that's a way cool way off looking at it!!!! thanks! Yoda

My Shaking Medicine CD is free to float around right now, just pm Hundun. I wonder if any old drumming cd would do the trick or is Keeney able to infuse a particular vibe into his? I only gave the Shaking Medicine a 30 second listen to... sounded interesting but it was a whole different universe and I had only just figured out how to do kunlun and I didn't care to go through the whole awkward, clueless stage again. I think it will be much easier for me the second time around as I know that there's a definite worthwhileness to this sort of thing plus I'm more used to the experience of spontaneous motion now. Per the Keeney reviewer on the k forum, they are different vibes but he felt that they are compatible and very complimentary. Yoda
