Stosh : humiliation will not humble most people, for sure, and that's not the topic is about. Your reaction is very strong, isn't it? Someone recently told me I was no genius, so I had to work (yes we talk tai chi) ! No scar just the sweetest bite I swear Marblehead, Aetherous : if you wish to express, don't you look at the soldier's way as completely opposite to the Tao's way ? How do you link it otherwise ? I know carreer soldiers -so you can't do it to me- one told me he has no idea how many people he killed because you to far to know if you hit or not, the only one he was certain was a civilian, he throwed a grenade in a house to be sure they will not be attacked. He's one of the sweetest guy I know but isn't it war the main purpose of an army ? No harm intended.

I have to drive 2 hours to be at the pink granit coast, not nearby, not very far either. There is plenty of nice places in brittany. The tree is much closer it's supposed to be in the brocéliande forest where merlin and co would have lived.

Good, find your place is as much important as find yourself ! I moved many times in france to find somwhere I'm fine (many special stuff here but nothing extraordinary). I understood how ugly was the place I grew up many years after I left it !

Nature will always be stronger because it's the only way. We probably have to finish our mistakes to understand it (for a moment) whatever the costs are. It's not new but came to my knowledge today, I Could have posted that link in "what made you smile today" but if think more light on it is something nice.

I have 3 friends that traveled to canada and think or have been thinking about settle down there because of the nature and the people. So... be proud

Hello and I wish you found what you're looking for here.

It was 30 months ago ! And I'm now 27.

Hi, happy new year to you too

Well, I suggest you to dig for the movie about this singer. It's called Searching for Sugar Man. I'm half surprised you don't know him.

Thanks.

I think you could learn a lot from therapists.

Does that mean I should post more to balance my pratice ? More seriously my teacher told me not to force my practice, you could be injured and SPECIALY in winter ! I red something where Fu Zongwen said that the traditionnal teaching of TTC is by performing 10 times a 20mn form, I'm really not able to do that. I did 4 in a row wich takes already a lot a concentration! I don't remember if I found the article from the TTB, if not, here it is. Happy new year

Is it possible to repost the video ? (i'm so curious)

Solid answer

My job is construction worker mainly as a carpenter, so one can understand practicing twice a day is chalenging but is starting to happen more. So I pratice Chi Qong plus Yang solo form, It all takes 45 mn minimum for a session. When on free time, I it's different. Now let's practice Enjoy !

I'm sorry if I could have bring some competition here. That was not what I was expecting.

I think it's more or less normal to feel that living today's world is toxic and that our culture is disconnected from our root. I could develop (really) a lot on that. What's funny is that was the same case 2500 years ago. What's curious is that was "annoying" enough for him to quit to the west. I can only tell for me, I'm not full light, not darkness either, just trying to feel the balance. This feeling is the very base on what I'm trying to go a smaller way than the mainstream. That's what adaptation is. Somewhere me talking here is pointless, pratice is the key. I just thought you (z00se) was a bit hard in you post. What is my thinking now is that a way or another people are always trying to get full. Here "cultivation" it's just about a more "refined" way. Question is, to do what ? It's said that taoism is not about being full. I'm not trying to make a point, simply expressing my feeling. Always a pleasure to read this forum.

On very much on

nice breath control

Quote needed !

Thanks A lot : )
