bamboo Posted March 21, 2011 (edited) Hi there, i found out about this practice over at Laozi academy, and i'm interested to try it out. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Laozi-Academy/267557887607 It seems you have to practice around the exact hout of these solar terms, like yesterdays vernal equinox was 23:21 [gmt], but only four of these get any press in the west http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/seasons.html Would anyone be so kind as to list the date and time of the 24 solar terms for this year, once i got it for this year i can figure following years out. Many thanx Edited March 21, 2011 by bamboo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bamboo Posted March 21, 2011 (edited) I shamefully fell asleep yesterday 3 hours before the vernal equinox , so i missed my chance to try out this practice. I did feel the energy very strongly meditating before i fell asleep though. Okay, so using some long winded calculations i have managed to figure out the times of the other solar terms. These are the times of the next sessions coming up: April 5th - 10:20 April 20th - 21:19 May 6th - 08:18 May 21st - 19:18 June 6th - 06:17 June 21st - 17:16 These times are in [GMT/UK] so please adjust for wherever you are.

bamboo Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) So it turns out my calculations for the solar terms were a bit basic and inaccurate. I emailed a chinese friend of mine to check my times, and she sent me the correct ones so here they are. Your next sessions are: April 5th - 04:11:59 April 20th - 11:17:27 may 6th - 21:23:14 may 21st - 10:21:11 june 6th - 01:27:21 june 21st - 18:16:30 These times come complete with seconds too. All times are GMT/UK time please adjust for wherever you are. Anjali Edited March 23, 2011 by bamboo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
