BaguaKicksAss

works on PC and android phone.. not so much at the same time though lol.

Now the audio books thing I haven't tried yet... it would have to be a really boring book though, or I'd want to know what comes next lol. I do remember trying to listen to the Dao De Ching via audiobook once and that put me right to sleep! I think it was the monotone guy reciting it though. That was the worst book recitation I had ever heard lol. Too bad I deleted those files . I like the trance idea More Pie, thanks. Hmmm, I also wonder if some trance drumming and so forth mp3s might do it. I have had more than a few times where a deep trance state turned into a nap when I didn't mean it to, hmmmm...

The banners at the top of the forums are offering me a good night's sleep through some product or another lol. My TCM doctor (who's been at it over 40 years) and one of my medical qigong teachers are both female. Of course not recommended for many women, but it has made a night and day difference for me. Keep in mind I usually only go a week or 2 when purposefully trying the no sex thing. (though once did 2 months, the qigong was pretty interesting during this time!) A TCM friend gave me an interesting technique that involved rolling a towel with my toes, kinda neat. Btw, if anyone who also has trouble sleeping and is curious the things which work quite often (though not during summer so much) are: Lotsa qi sinking, foot massage, the hot water thing mentioned above, eating at least a couple of hours before bed (if I'm hungry I can't sleep for some reason), not drinking my usual 2-3 litres of water per day (oh gawd please no going off telling me I'm drinking too much water now lol).

Uhm considering that you just started a thread asking if entities and bad energy can be transfered from one person to another via sex... I think perhaps going to nightclubs is not for you.

That's why the Gods created netbooks .

Are you trying to say there isn't anyone with good energy in your town? And sure folks can pick up nasty energy from someone else, but only if they are on that level (in most cases). Also if you do share some bad energy with someone (I'm more thinking just a person with really bad thoughts that screw up their energy), as you lead your own positive life, do cultivation and so forth that fades. The chances someone has some entity on them are about a million to one.

Pick sex partners with good energy

Hmmm, maybe the ipad help forums... or the IPboard help forums?

Laptops are more portable, and have a built in protector cover thingy .

Throw it out; get android! Joking. These forums and my cel phone don't get along at all .

Back home to my own bed, best nap ever! I think I used the go until you are so exhausted you are falling over suggestion this time lol. I will try a different one this evening. I used to love travel... now not so much. I *used* to be one of those folks who could sleep on the plane etc. I'll have to give the suggestions a go, thank you so much everyone. As for the retention thing and sex thing, it is what each of the three of the Bagua teachers I have trained with suggested, as well as my TCM Dr. I really don't wish to go into details about my personal health, but I'll just leave it at born with horrible health and deficiencies, and huge improvements over the past few years . Now just to balance that out with sleep somehow... The lack of sleep thing, at least to this degree is mostly new. I think perhaps if I could turn off my thinking about work brain most of the time that would really help, dammit. Meditating at 4am is practically impossible!

Crap, just failed the first and second one this evening!

I will just collate, then move any really off topic ones to their own thread or your personal practice journal when it's made, no need to delete I don't think. One should never allow the internet to have priority over home responsibilities... in my opinion, helps with the grounding. When working with Kundalini grounding is so very very important! Home life really helps this; I've never seen the internet help it though (I mean accept for getting a bit of advice online sometimes). Btw, I've found many many many "bringing it back down" stuff with K really helps to make sure the unbalanced states don't crop up, thought I'd mention it just in case :>. Everytime I teach any class we start with that, just to make sure everyone is all grounded.

Evening ones are awesome, morning ones suck, lately I mean.

Not from what I have noticed, then after about a month I'm too trashed everyday to function. Fortunately this isn't all the time. Damn 5am sunrise not helping lol.

Someone had a good point... don't work in the same room I sleep in. I do that far too often.. so get the whole thinking about work all day and evening thing going on sometimes. Traveling a lot doesn't help either I'm sure, however friends that travel with me sometimes seem to sleep just fine!

Nope, for women too . Just like guys, as we get older sex often does tend to drain energy/jing/etc.

10mg gets me 2 hours sleep... so I take it in the middle of the night to get 2 more hours... doesn't always work though. Now biofeedback might be an idea. It works well for many other things.

I've never tried the sound waves, will try that . Meditation for 8 hours straight... well as a last resort lol. Better than thinking about work by far! Sex... I in general try the retention thing, so that isn't a solution I can use very often... it does work though . Not an every night solution for sure though.

http://theconjuring.warnerbros.com/index.html Looks interesting. On a related note, anyone see the Exorcism of Emily Rose? Another based on a true story.

I finally got out to see the Conjuring. I was amazed it was pretty accurate! I don't agree with the BS about witches and the devil though.

Anything by Zelazny. Llewelynn publishing has quite a few... sorry couldn't resist lol.

I wonder if his ears are ringing?

We moved the post to Lobby since it really was all about an introduction. Though we could discuss it further if you wish. Esteam'd, I'm pretty sure he was asked .
