bodyoflight Posted April 4, 2011 There was a recent thread explaining the various differences between fire and water cultivation practices. In that thread, examples of fire and water cultivation methods were given. I.e. kunalini is a fire method and stillness meditation is a water method. That thread seems to have disappeared though. Can the mods help me on this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

寒月 Hanyue Posted April 5, 2011 (edited) "I.e. kunalini is a fire method and stillness meditation is a water method." Seems a bit too simplistic to me? Where is all the "smokey water", and the "watery flame" methods Edited April 6, 2011 by snowmonki 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doc benway Posted April 6, 2011 It might have been a thread relating to Bruce Frantzis. I made a comment in that one about the fire method. In general terms, water method tends to relate to dissolving whereas fire method involves a lot of focused attention/intention. Just a very gross simplification.

Maddie Posted April 7, 2011 I know I just talked about this on my other thread, but it seemed relevant since I'm thinking about it, but isn't Kan and Li both a water and fire method at the same time? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
