Â Hi Castor, Â welcome to taobums. Why are you waiting to start your Kunlun practice? Yes, it's fine to have the transmission. Max told me at the work shop that most people never see him personally. That's also the reason for the book. I have been practicing Kunlun long before I met Max and got the transmission. You can have a good start even without the transmission. That's at least my experience and that of a lot of other taobums. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yoda Posted May 20, 2008 Welcome to taobums! I'd say just try it from the book to see if you like the practice in the first place. Hold the position for a few minutes and then move rhythmically like a sideways rocking chair and see how it feels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Castor Posted May 20, 2008 I had heard I should get the transmission first, but if I can start without it then that's great... however, how important is doing kunlun sitting on animal skin? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thelerner Posted May 20, 2008 Its best if you club the animal yourself.   Just kidding, most of the people I've talked to just have a rug under them. I purchased a $12 lamb skin from Ikea. I don't know if it improves my Kunlun, but I like the way it feels on my toes.  I got the book a few weeks before a seminar. I practiced for a two weeks without getting any leg motion. It was just the day before the seminar my legs started the spontaneous motion. IMHO Kunlun1 is about hitting the position, forgetting about it, and cooling down. Very simple.  The transmission is nice, particularly if you're going to seriously pursue it, but not a prerequisate for practice.  Yours  Michael Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Castor Posted May 21, 2008 Thanks for your 2 cents Michael. By the way, do we have to practice outside under a tree? How many of you actually do that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
