Greetings from Pennsylvania USA

[konchog uma]

Hello to all, and greetings from the city of Pittsburgh. I am a Vajrayana Buddhist by practice and lifestyle, and find that I often come to Tao Bums from search engine results on topics I wish to learn about. So I joined.

 

Right now I am working with the hand seal techniques known in Japanese as Kuji-in (from information by Francois Lepine), with the microcosmic orbit, and with the sacred geometries of the luminous field described by Drunvalo Melchizidek in "The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life" books. These comprise most of my daily meditations. Sometimes I just sit, sometimes with crystals or "boji stones" which have a stupid trademarked name but are awesome for balancing the luminous field, and sometimes I chant mantras and use mudras (non kuji-in).

 

Recently I stopped playing all violent video games (I have always loved video games, so its just chess and go right now!) and stopped watching pornography (wow did the sex get better), hahaha just to give you some idea of where I am on my path right now. I am not one of those deviant Vajrayana buddhists, I don't drink alcohol or use drugs or mind altering plants at all, although I do eat meat as longs as its clean of hormones and preservatives.

 

I look forward to learning more about the practices I am engaged in, and hopefully about qi-gong here, which I am beginning to practice every day (charging the three treasures dan tiens and letting the microcosmic orbit circulate)

 

Thank you for taking the time to read this, hopefully I will join in discussions here, since I don't have many friends in "real life" being very careful about who I associate with. I'm not a spiritual elitist, I'm just very sensitive to energies of others so I keep a short list.

 

Bless
