Iron shirt 1 – 3 methods

Sorry for my broken English.

In general my suggestion is to learn more varied and functional system of breathing practices for the breath suspension.

For example:

For the alchemical process it would be important to understand that for example the Chi Nei Tsang is not necessarily primarily for therapy, but for hands-on training and manipulation for body’s various systems.

In the end, I think, if some practice doesn’t make sense in some situation, one should look what else there is available in the alchemical toolbox and choose something new.

What would seem to be missing here is what Carlos Castaneda calls ‘recapitulation’ and L. Ron Hubbard ‘returning’.

Whatever one calls it, it’s not only important practice, but the most important faculty to start with.

In my opinion.

Sorry, but if one is serious with these Iron Shirt practices, I think it’s worth checking also this book.

Evidently it’s not very entertaining to read as a book and also many techniques are worth only for somebody who performs in freak show, but it can still give ideas how to construct an ideal Iron Shirt curriculum for oneself.

having or showing an attitude of superiority and contempt for people or things perceived to be inferior

Gyalpo spirits are one of the eight classes of haughty gods and spirits (Wylie: lha srin sde brgyad) in Tibetan mythology and religion. Gyalpo (Tibetan: རྒྱལ་པོ, Wylie: rgyal po), a word which simply means “king” in the Tibetic languages, in Tibetan mythology is used to refer to the Four Heavenly Kings (Tibetan: རྒྱལ་ཆེན་བཞི) and especially to a class of spirits, both Buddhist and Bon, who may be either malevolent spirits or oath-bound as dharmapalas (Wylie: chos skyong, bon skyong).

In general one cannot say that the class of Gyalpo are always negative. There are also some important Gyalpo guardians. For example, Guru Padmasambhava gave the task of protecting the temple of Samye to Gyalpo Pehar. So it is not negative at all. But then, regarding the Gyalpo, there are different levels and it is very important for us to understand the character of the Gyalpo and how they create provocations because each of the eight classes has their own way of provocating…because when someone is connected with the Gyalpo, they are transformed and become subject to them. When these people die they become part of the class of Gyalpo. The life of a Gyalpo may last for five or six thousand years so for that reason it is considered something very negative… this kind of spirit becomes dependent on the class of Gyalpo. That means if they are a bit powerful they can become a kind of Gyalpo and can do something. Instead somebody less powerful becomes only a subject (victim) of the Gyalpo.

The study, which assessed the impact of meditation with 82 participants who experience anxiety, found that developing an awareness of the present moment reduced incidents of repetitive, off-task thinking, a hallmark of anxiety.

“Our results indicate that mindfulness training may have protective effects on mind wandering for anxious individuals,” said Mengran Xu, a researcher and PhD candidate at Waterloo. “We also found that meditation practice appears to help anxious people to shift their attention from their own internal worries to the present-moment external world, which enables better focus on a task at hand.”

The term mindfulness is commonly defined as paying attention on purpose, in the present moment, and without judgement.

As part of the study, participants were asked to perform a task on a computer while experiencing interruptions to gauge their ability to stay focused on the task. Researchers then put the participants into two groups at random, with the control group given an audio story to listen to and the other group asked to engage in a short meditation exercise prior to being reassessed.

“Mind wandering accounts for nearly half of any person’s daily stream of consciousness,” said Xu. “For people with anxiety, repetitive off-task thoughts can negatively affect their ability to learn, to complete tasks, or even function safely.

“It would be interesting to see what the impacts would be if mindful meditation was practiced by anxious populations more widely.”

L. Ron Hubbard discovered that the mind has two very distinct parts. One of these—the part that you consciously use and are aware of—is called the analytical mind. This is the portion of the mind which thinks, observes data, remembers it and resolves problems. It has standard memory banks which contain mental image pictures and uses the data in these banks to make decisions that promote survival.                                                                       -http://www.scientology.org/what-is-dianetics/basic-principles-of-scientology/the-parts-of-the-mind.html

There is a method of “thinking” which man did not know he had.                                                      -L. RON HUBBARD, Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health (BOOK THREE: THERAPY, Ch. 5: Returning, the File Clerk and the Time Track)

Sorry, but I suspect that if one expects to get results very quickly, but it’s not like that with the internal alchemy, one easily becomes confused.
