DreamBliss gears up for dating... HELP!
BaguaKicksAss replied to DreamBliss's topic in The Rabbit Hole
I personally have no trouble getting a feel for folks through their profile photos. I've even had fun helping a friend out in this way, fun as in see how accurate I was about each. He didn't beleive me about one having anger problems until she screamed at him on their first date ROFL. -
A few of those wise nearly (or completely) enlightened folks* talked about how we have to be extremely grateful for those who frustrate us, who anger us, who we feel are doing it wrong, and etc. as they are very uncommon, and our best teachers .

Shit, I'd better go rethink some of my vows... LOL kidding . Actually you have a lot of motivation and actually practice. But... As I understand it, that whole concept of self has to go first. That might take you a few days . Then the whole us being better than others thing, I think that is another that has to go. A few more days..... I'm personally still working on not belittling others. Wish me luck (I'll need it lol)

Qigong Instructor Discussion Thread
BaguaKicksAss replied to soaring crane's topic in Daoist Discussion
I have always trained outdoors, 0 costs . -
Perhaps these days, but I have yet to find folks in chinatown here who can read english letters. Considering they read the newspapers (with chinese characters I don't think illiterate; perhaps things were different 40-50 years ago in China? My pronunciation isn't very good, so it's really funny when I try to say the names of herbs LOL. I will just google the chinese characters, that is what I usually do, then hold up my cel phone so they can see them . Thanks . Another question, will rum work? I tend to use rum for most herbal stuff, so thought I would ask. Btw, I use those organic apple juice gallon jars for such things, works really well.

Weird perspective on hexes/curses/"black magic." Thoughts?
BaguaKicksAss replied to Leon Frost's topic in Esoteric and Occult Discussion
Very very rarely. More like some dumb ass magician's ego gets overactive and they feel they need to get revenge on folks. Now I've met some who feel they are the bringer of people's karma. I have yet to meet one like this where it is more than their own personal delusions. -
Favorite Bagua resources? (books, teachers, videos, etc)
BaguaKicksAss replied to Trunk's topic in Systems and Teachers of
Cause many folks don't do it nearly enough, forms are more fun and more fancy. Also, it builds the Bagua body if done properly. It changes your body, in good ways. Very healing too. And, it essentially is Bagua . -
Do you happen to have the Chinese character version of this? They aren't going to be able to read this in chinatown, so thought I would ask. Also, do you (nearly) boil the roots first in the booze, then add the leaves after? Also how long do you (nearly) boil for?
-
I would ask, if either you made her feel heard, and she really appreciated that; and/or you are more open to noticing things more that were already there? Yes of course there is always change after an argument, usually from both sides, and it is usually for the better, and usually doesn't last. But also could be some other factors.

Most definitely do some Zhan Zhuang! Amazing stuff.

Guy in video #2 is really energy deficient, wow!

I have found with Buddhist stuff, it is ALL stuff I have heard before, many many times. Somehow though some of the amazing teachers manage to, say it again, but in a way that brings me deeper. Pretty awesome . It's entirely possible that Noah is also a little tired of people just talking about how he's a "punk rocker", instead of just focusing on the teachings... What people want though is image. Hey as long as it spreads teachings well. Personally though I prefer the Tibetan old folks LOL.

What, you mean I don't need to use my magic bullet for them all?! I do get them to powder up my ginseng though. Magic bullets even grind up roots though, pretty handy, and much larger than a coffee grinder. My TCM friend and I will have fun with this .
-
Please . Also if you happen to have the chinese characters for the herbs that would definitely rock. To bad herb season has pretty much ended for the year, nice to get some of them fresh.

Back to the original question of this thread, tarot for advanced... http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/gummibear/ What? It's based on the Rider/Waite .

Reclining/Horizontal Practices - Xiantien Baguazhang

Reclining/Horizontal Practices - Xiantien Baguazhang
BaguaKicksAss replied to Aksijaha's topic in Systems and Teachers of
I have been practicing horizontal Bagua for years.... generally right after a rather strenuous bit of Bagua... though I call it "napping" . More seriously, could you narrow down a bit what you are after? You mentioned a few things/topics in your original post... I'm assuming you don't just mean "the neigong you can do during Zhan Zhuang can also be done laying flat" sort of stuff either. -
Need to get a teacher for that particular practice. Since you are dealing with uhm, things you might need later in life .
-
Yes definitely.
-
Yes most definitely .

These days? Amazon.com Or chinatown. Zheng gu shi (sp?) is good. Red box, white writing.

She cried once out of a perfectly good relationship and you are worried? Obviously also though she isn't prone to drama or crying over everything if it is a first time, so likely you would want to listen to her. As long as you apologized, reassured her and hugged her all should be well. If it was a 5, likely not something you would want to repeat. We should always treat each other with utmost respect in relationships.

Actually, bullies are usually a bit taller than the average kids their age (why they often get away with it); so I think a strike upwards to the diaphram would be more affective....
