NYC Student Posted November 19, 2008 Hello to everyone. It is exciting to sign up for this forum. I have been reading several posts here over the past few months and have enjoyed the conversation everyone brings. My primary goal is to learn more about taoist terminology, the theory of different body technology practices and how to apply them properly and most importantly I need to find a competent teacher, preferably in or around NYC, or China or where ever. If anyone can recommend someone it would be much appreciated. Other than that I hope to contribute to this forum as best as I can. My own experience and path involves starting with meditating with Thai Forest Monks in my late teens, various martial arts training with my coolest teacher in Hawaii (Dragongatesanctuary) and I have now been learning meditation for the past 6 years directly from a french guy (Clairvision). However, with all that I have experienced I have come to a point in my practice where I would like to apply taoist principles to develop my body of energy. Or something like that. It is my hope that this forum can act as a portal to other avenues. And I just excited to find other people out there asking the same questions. I look forward to meeting all of you. Thanks Tao Bums!

NYC Student Posted November 20, 2008 Just curious, but does NYC student mean you go to college, or does it mean you're a student of Taoism? Nice to meet you Seekeroftruth, I graduated from college back in 2001 and now am a "professional" (lol). I am just another student of the Tao who resides in NYC.

Nice to meet you Cat, I would love to share my experience and knowledge of the Clairvision Meditation School techniques, methodology, goals and results anytime. The book Awakening the 3rd Eye is a great favorite of mine and the Virtual Astrologer is super handy. We primarily use the ATE book as a foundation for opening and awakening our perception of the energy body which is the primary vehicle we use for all of our practices. I have to hand it to Samuel, he has a solid program for getting you through the door of perception as well as dissolving blocks. Plus there are a lot of higher teachings that are totally usable in daily life. Mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
