very good. I like unfinished-ness

There are numerous ways why you can have intercours together. Love has no meaning. there is no need wanting to become one another. is a teacher wanting to teach people wanting to become student? not that he is afraid to become student, probably sees himself as eternal student if he is quite abit realized, but surely he does not want to revers back to a position of not-knowing.

well one ejaculation and there is all the energy, in the woman. I have to look further into how to circulate it properly into her and into me.

Very good. To continue - if the entire body, the inside, is the entire Cosmos, what is the skin and what do we see when we see eachother?

#1 about I Ching, which compendium is recommended? #2 on Chen Style Tai Chi Chuan, which are considered to be 'the Original Chen Style manuals' , please?

also I have never seen an active practice before (non meditational) that requires you to not breathe for such a long period as shown in here: but solely observing the movements, it all makes perfect sense. Has this style or practice a specific name?

I am sure everyone was diving at least once in his life and exactly there you can really learn the flow of energy and how to manipulate it, much more easily then in actual "air", when you can not sense it yet. Because under water, you can see the flow. You can not push forward underwater, with force and wanting to create a current. Through pushing, you mostly displace water in the front of your hand that then gets pushed around the outsides back towards your arm. Speaking of a direct way, which does not work. Circular movements are intuitively understood as the optimal way. It was quite a while back since I was last time diving, but I surely will do it again this summer and experiment with the flow of it, while being encased in said element. I often found our air to be just like water, just with another thickness. But in essence, it behaves the same. We can learn much from being in water and doing Tai Chi or Qigong. #bringdivingsuit , #practiceholdbreath5mins

My perception did not pick up a pissed-off rooster. I heard sound that I refer to a rooster and then I saw a rooster coming into the picture that's it.

Beautiful! Very pure energy. We all can re-grow such a connection. Recipe: Letting go of completely everything you have accumulated here and of what you think you are, including dropping all fears, judgement. Those birds seek your shoulders and head!

I am hearing you there. It is something totally different. I remember holding the breath when I was a child and enjoyed the sensations in and after breathing again. Something very profound in it.. I never held the breath and did movements. Completely new to it, but I am in love with it.

You are welcome. Interestingly I came across the info that the general sexual practice is to withdraw excess (how do you find out whats excess and what not anyway) orgasmic energy from the women, when she is ejaculating, up into Your being. So basicly you leech energy off of females? Get her to orgasm multiple times, draw in the orgasmic energy and you never ejaculate, as male. What do you, as male, give her in return? Quotes "Sexual Alchemy for Partners" Mantak Chia Cant see this to be holistic.

most definitelly, yes. thank you & others.

Due to an unconscious lifestyle for many years, I have to recalibrate certain things. Such as proper breathing. I am aware of many forms of breathing, but never performed one consciously. So first time doing so. Starting with Deep Abdominal Breathing. #1 Can you use this breathing technique all out during the day? I have noticed you need to be in a relaxed state in order to drop the diaphragm at all. So that is a good practice in itself. #2 When breathing into the abdomen, how much do you breathe into the back (kidneys and below) and into the sides? I started it compeltely wrong by mostly or totally breathing into the belling. Ending up with very lose stomach muscles that overall screwed up my organ pressuring. Breathing into the sides, and especially creating a very slight bulging outwards towards sides and back is compeltely new to my mind. My Iron Shirt is Iron Rags, at the moment as you can see. Please help

I just did a session Qigong while we had a thunderstorm, lots of wind and rain a few minutes ago. Revitalizing experience! My hand got a little cold after I went back in, rubbed them together and as I did, noticed a sensation in the balls of my feet. A sensation that I had never experienced before. It was like something was flowing outward down into the ground. I just recreated it while typing this. A sensation that shoots ouf of the balls of my feet (seems like through bones) towards and through my toes. A feeling that is slightly painful but not really hurting and not creating a sense of that something is wrong. Has anyone experienced similar and can tell what this is? Practices: Healing Light o.t Tao up to Big Dipper/North Star gatherings, Primordial Qigong and today a lot of Embracing the Tree.

Kindergarten ABC Basic terminology The term negative. We learn through such holistic concepts like Taoism, that negative is equal to positive. Without the other one would not exist. But then we have such terms like "detrimental" which refer to everything destructive in nature. But then we say "things are negative" when we mean they are destructive. While negativity in essence is not destructive, isn't it? It is difficult to understand and accept that such extremes like war, slaughter and genocide arepossibly in essence negative, while peace and harmony is positive. That straight out can not be (says this young ego structure). For example, harmony in essence is something greater than simply peace. I (personally) can understand that war only exists when there is peace. Yes and I can understand that this is hard to understand for many individuals. When we say we want peace, we want something greater than simply the opposite of war. We want to understand what lead to war, transform it and uplift our entire existance one octave. Coming in greater cycles where such dualistic principles no longer rule. It's not that you have such extreme constant fluxes like war and peace the entire process back to Tao. They belong here, they might be even more extreme one octave lower in Nature. But they (and nothing in general) trails us, once we have understood it. It's not that we then avoid it forever, it simply bothers us no longer and we can work with it, transform it with ease. How does this apply to the term "negativity" in the larger picture?

Yeah, I can relate from previous experiences. The young child in us, regardless of our bodies age, wants to run out on the street and just show everyone what happened new and exciting. But eventually we can see it as what it actually is, a chain of events and not something finite. Great article. But isnt the third "nail" not actually on the outmost side of the balls of the feet (of said shown foot picture in that article) right under the small toe instead On the big toe? I have never seen it illustrate in such a way, three points aligned. That makes it quite unstable. This information is from non-tai chi practitioners, maybe its different in Tai Chi

See? That is why I ask. No clear wording but we use these terms so loosely, not really knowing their true meaning

What is refered as insanity is a lack of grounded energies. Grounding means understanding. I suggest you dive into insanity with a strong heart chakra, a strong reconnection to Source/Tao and find out. Will surely lead you to great expanse in your entire being. Of course no one would suggest you investigating it without such a safety rope. But nothing can go wrong in the end of all ends anyway. Insanity is in essence having no more concepts to deal with greater reality. I have no further help here, since I was not consciously in or out there, in meditation towards Tao, speaking from this lifetime. But yes, insanity is just another illusion like all other fears. Insanity is fear. Fear of losing grip to what you previously have experienced as reality and found to be a safe haven. It's easy with physical reality. While it is also constantly changing, consciousness in human form tends to see it very fixed and therefor very safe. When being immersed in a great current, why struggle to grasp out to an imaginary branch, while by letting go the other end of the river is reached with ease? Let's learn to swim in greater depths of reality!

Nature is everything. We are in Nature, Nature is in us. We are Nature & Nature is us. and through such holistic concepts like Taoism, we in this age learn fast, that "Nature" is far more than green plants and lakes. The term Nature refers to everything as a whole. Exactly.

Why do you do a practice in an extreme manner? Nothing is beneficial doing in an extreme and therefor imbalanced manner, other than realizing exactly this. Crying comes from the heart. How is your heart doing? Anxiety and fear comes from the kidneys and is also a sign of not being rooted well, in this life. Both physically and spiritually. Are you and your energies rooted properly? There are numerous and very simplistic ways of figuring out what is going wrong in your body and then how heal yourself. Every emotion is associated with an specific organ. Is that organ out of balance, then the negativity affects your health. You can use the 6 Healing Sounds Theory to heal yourself of all emotional and thought-based illness. And since there is not much more left, other than intention prior to thought, you cure all illness with this technique. Mantak Chia, 6 Healing Sounds. Consciously catch your negative thoughts and see a connection to pain in your stomach-, heart- or lung area. And then you heal it with the said technique. The only difficulty is getting used to your true power and believing it works. Because it always works. The only obstacle is falsly believing in ones own inability to cure oneself. But this is widely known for when a human being discovers his true nature, that it (his lower mind) has trouble getting started. Then what is left? Not doing anything and let the body come to it's natural state. The further you interfer with your ego (extreme things! fast success!) prevents your body from healing completely. And now you see, fortunatelly you are still amongst us in this form, that one does not temper foolishly with such tools of creation itself. You use it mindfully or your deconstructive nature (which lead to your ailment) has then ultimate access to deconstruct you, before you could deconstruct others (apparently unconsciously, otherwise you wouldn't ask this and are willing to change). Your ego will tell you otherwise, but what damaged you, was something more deeply inside you. And not within the practice itself. Most likely detrimental thought patterns, that came forth as such hasty actions. All the best!

My friend, even mowing the lawn leads to enlightenment. The method is unimportant. It's all about what you and your intelligence make out of it. Wasted time or great opportunity practicing insight with such a apparent dulling work?

High-energy state = high vibration Unwanted attention = detrimental, naturally lower vibration So High-energy state =/= unwanted attention Rather High-energy state = people and beings want to be in your uplifting presence My personal experience. Please define what "negative spirits" are in your terms. With all respect, you might have pushed your ego in great heights and totally ignored the other side of the medal. True higher states of vibration are magnet for all beings, since it provides great expansion for their being in all aspects. Higher states of vibration feels to lower vibrational beings like for many humans.. the hot Sun. It burns and it is unpleasant, while it holds the ultimate truth. Edit: I remind myself not putting the term "negative" equal to "detrimental". Negative is equal to positive. Detrimental is destructive. Is negative = destructive?

So I do daily cleanses of the Inner Cosmis Smile, washing all my 5 organs from their daily dose of negative energy and freeing them from memories. I found out when ever I take a walk outside and do not think, focus on internal processes, I stir up negative emotions while I walk. They come out and the local wildlife reacts alerted. Contrary to this, I sat down in the middle of the woods and meditated. The wood went quiet and I heard birds, especially two woodpeckers get extremely close nearby and didnt mind me at all. And then from this stillness negative thoughts arose and I could feel the impact, the ripples through out this silence and how several smaller songbirds got alerted. Then I had an inner arguement on how to get these birds quiet. Totally forgot that I (personally) did not have to do any concious effort at all, other than letting go of wanting to do change something. Done, solved. Trance-like, wood quiet again. I got up, did Qigong and again thoughts came up of failure, of not getting the movements right. But I didnt pay them attention and the patterns went mostly smoothly up to completion. Then I continued the rest of the walk and here began the funny and (for this limited mind) magical part: Ever had tiny non-harmful flies flying around your head, just flying there and flying.. and you wonder what they do, maybe get a little annoyed by them, by their sound etc, because you dont want to break your trance-like walk with angry intentions. So I stopped and watched what the flies would probably do next. My guess, they would land on my face. Nothing, flying around, even infront of my eyes and infront of my nostrils. For me this is a true test in staying calm, no matter how funny it sounds, but it is.Then I took an attempt in shooing the flies away. I stopped my walk, stood there, flies disappeared. Continued, flies came back. Stopped, gone - continued walking, flies "Hello!" And then negative thoughts came back up. And the birds were already upset again and then I questioned straight into the woods about what truly was going on here and could give myself the answer to every question I have straight in return. All of it regarding negative feelings, pain in my stomach and the associated thoughts arising first. I had uncomfortable feelings in my gut and checked in which locations, put my middlefingers on that location, pressed inside, focused on my thymus gland, life-affirming intentions, cancelled the thought+emotional connection by looking left+right a certain set of times and sealed it. I am just a beginner on this level, in terms of how many times I have done it yet, but I instantly feel drastic improvements with this method! It's a complete overwrite in thoughts and emotions. Then I did what I do when I am around with my girlfriend and I am very calm. Unusual calm compared when I am alone. Wild animals do not take much notice of us, of me. In made a conscious and playful effort in particularly talking to the birds, talked About myself and To my self and this had the effect of the birds, the most wildest and shiest species we have here, came an armslenght close. Continued their business, seemed somewhat amused. Very relax play this afternoon.. And on my way home again, when I did not talk, negative thoughts came back up. Mostly doubt. Had to do a lot of pauses and working on my gut before I actually arived home. I hope you do not see these negative thoughts and stomach cramps as something common. Because it isn't. And I suggest dealing with it as soon as possible. Because it interfers with so much you could observe outside. Our stomach is a memory database. This means when negative thoughts arise, negative emotions are triggered and present us on the outside negative results. This continues over and over and over again, until we solve these negative thought patterns and their associated negative feelings in our organs. The 6 Healing Sounds from Mantak Chia is the most powerful tool known to me. Wanted to go for 45mins, came home 4hours later. Was surprised, said to myself: Next training, do not be surprised by such timeless events. For this Surprised-ness is then contrary the Tao-way, the natural way, this walk presented itself to me. How many of you went "OH MY F*CKING TAO!" when you saw something extra-ordinary (again such a term that does not vibrate with Tao) in your perception, instead of amused and ordinary? I feel so young and immature at times like this on my spiritual practice. Funnily when I am about to cultivate one month straight microcosmis orbit I feel like a wise old man. I am not shy outside, it feels like I have seen it all. Contrary to the last days, months without practice, I am like a skittish deer, not wanting to make contact with any other human individual. Probably energy-leakage? Yes, mostly due to sex, city visits and inconsistant practice. So .. much .. to .. re-collect. Thank you for having the opportunity to share all of this.

No. It is a feeling of insecurity. Nothing one wants to dwell long in.

I have tried turtling completely up. Which is nothing but bathing in your own ignorance. Doesnt help. Might last a few hours but then its opening up again. Speaking of opening up - I truly wonder where our beloved spiritual masters have learned to open up and develop compassion. Here we are again on the top of a mountain or behind monastic doors. Can this be IT?? Next: Accepting. The next day I wake up or come out of a meditation I see my environment more clearly and get all the negativity straight in my face. Especially from mentioned very detrimental individuals which happen to be "family" members. My intention is to work in alignment with all elements and understand underlying principles so I understand that I will not get around these feelings that I feel so heavy on myself that I could just cry at least twice a day. Generally this happens that I see more and more clearly how people intoxicate themselves and say out loud that they have clear vision of circumstances/arguement, 100% believing it. Numb people who unconsciously hurt and hurt and hurt. Negative expressions became standards?! The other day in a chinese restaurant, the only other people who were in was another family who were talking about problems the entire conversation, cursing left and right. Bon appetit! How do you come into a place of accepting with the unspeakable gigantique garbage dump all around? I am living in a place where we have no spiritual roots, just very shallow religious branches. Thanks again Romans and Christianity for cutting them down in the year ~300/400. How on earth would one cultivate virtues here, like the very basic Healing Light of the Tao (Mantak Chia) when I have already trouble even generating love in my heart - to connect to the loving field all around me? What act it is to even feel my thymus through all this emotional mud I practice and then -BAM- negativity from here and there, feeling it in my system, having to get it out again first and then being able to somewhat continue. With an already tangibly weakened spirit. Can you imagine what Work this is? Not to speak of how long it takes to fully calm down again, relax every miniscule muscle to properly utilize your breath.. And then there would be the solution of seeing life as a comedy. But again that is just another layer of fantasy upon it. Oh how wonderfully and easy you can stroll through life when you hear said extremelly yelling father here in my neighborhood and call him just underdeveloped or "Oh look here we go again, haha!" while totally neglecting the impact of his actions on others in his family and in the surrounding neighborhood. And that is just One example of many. Having seen soil turn so sour that only moss grows upon it, while years back actual grass was there? Or lichens on trees all around the house, rotting the trees slowly? Welcome to our garden. But hey at least family members shoo away woodpecker who "harm" the trees. God... Every conversation with said "family" members on how to improve their thought patterns and actions is instantly understood as assault. And how often do I come to a point where I say to myself "Why even further care? Just let it all happen as it flows.. parents living a detrimental lifestyle, neighbors abusing their kids" - Welcome to the 21st century of living in a community, not caring for the community. Ohh only when its about positivity, when something negative comes up We shut our eyes ears and mouth! What mad pit I am in here.. Are you sensitive enough how much trouble the earth currently has? What else is there before a call out for a mass wipe? Asking from a livingspace on the country side in an outskirts of a larger "family" community.. not in a city. Is cultivating impossible these days in a general human environment?
