liquidsun Posted June 16, 2018 Hi everyone, I've been an occasional visiter here for a little while but have finally decided to get more involved. I'm open to all wisdom paths but I predominately follow Buddha-Dharma. I'm here looking to deepen my experience of the internal arts. At present I have a yin-deficiency with heat and my liver and kidneys are doing their best to keep the show on the road! After many years of addressing imbalanced lifestyle & diet I'm now more confident that my herbal and energetic interventions will be more effective in bringing physical and spiritual nourishment. Consistency and the maintaining of habits is my current challenge. Happy to be here and hoping to learn more! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marblehead Posted June 17, 2018 Hi Liquidsun. Welcome. Lots of talk here about internal alchemy. Yes, "harmony" between yin and yang. Harmony because sometimes we need more yang and other times we need more yin. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liquidsun Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) Thanks for the welcomes. Harmony , yes. I followed perhaps a fairly typical pattern of newcomers believing that vitality, sexual virility and vigour were the way forward and so in many ways over-heated my system with excessn, neglecting all things yin and harmony in the process. It's taken me a long time to understand the value of Observing the yin/Yang balancing cycle but the habits and effects are now very deeply entrenched in my body, mind and energy syetem. Kind of kicking myself that I didn't think more holistically about it all years ago but I suppose we can only shed old skin at the natural pace.

Interesting username, but my immediate projection is that I think of a video game where the term liquid sun comes from. May you enjoy your time here. Which game is that? I put no special thought in to it to be honest- other than Yin- Water/liquid , Yang -Fire/sun! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
