Elephants, Tigers, & Taoists in Thailand. WILD Photos

The dates of the next China Dream Trip, exactly two weeks, are:

1. depart LAX Friday after midnite) May 13, 2011

2. return to LAX Friday 6 pm on May 27, 2011

After Thailand I went exploring a fabulous new sacred Taoist Mountain called Three Pure Ones Mountain (sanqingshan).

Here is a preview peek of this mountain. The full China Dream Trip itinerary will be out in a few weeks. It is a shorter trip than the Huashan cave trips (in even-numbered years), but we will also be visiting some very famous caves of Taoist immortals. We have a meditation retreat at the end, stayiing inside in a very ancient and powerful Taoist temple. It may prove to be one of the best trips ever!

3 Pure Ones Mountain has fantastic landscapes, the best individual rock sculptures I’ve seen anywhere in China. Here is the Snake Raises Its Head.

Innumerable vistas that take your breathe away greet the eye at every turn.

Hidden within the heart of this fantasia of natural landscapes is a major Taoist temple. A painting of the 8 Immortals covers an entire wall. The grandfather of Ge Hong, considered to be one of the earliest Taoist alchemists, is honored here as well.

SUMMER RETREATS (5 WEEKS) – Heavenly Lake, Asheville, North Carolina

AT OUR NEW RETREAT CENTER!!!!!

June 17 – July 16. Five 6-day retreats, back to back. To be posted and emailed SOON.

info@healingtaoretreats.com or call (until March 1: 888 999 0555).

Madame Wang Yan, who has been teaching at my summer Healing Tao University for 10 years,
 presents a beaming Mantak Chia with a banner (very Chinese) from a prestigious qigong organizatioin.

Jiang Nan, transmitter of the Shamanic 7-Star Big Dipper Qigong form that I teach on China Dream Trips, also came to the Congress. He set up 7 giant six foot tall Chnese ceramic vases in a Big Dipper pattern in Mantak’s yard, which will be rotated once each season, to reflect the celestial shift. What fun!

Next generation of qigong artists: a 9 year old qigonger gets rewarded for his chi skillls.

A flock of sensuous Tao Goddess-Immortals begin to float off into the ethers during a divine dance performance.

A major new practice was introduced at this Tao Congress: the Chocolate-Cosmic Orbit.

1. Insert  piece of organic dark chocolate into space between tongue and palate. This stimulates Golden Elixir saliva to flow.

2. Swallow the elixir (and the chocolate) and feel its yummy essence flow down ward through the dantian. It will congeal in the lower dantian as a special Chocolate Elixir. But it still needs refining. Caution: the elixir may create erotic feelings if mixed with sexual chi, and irresistibly attract anyone nearby to you.

3. Circulate this chocolate elixir up the spine to the crown. Open the bai hui (Meeting point of Yang) and allow the Milky Way to drop ithe Real Purple Nougat essence into your upper elixir pool, where it will mix with the chocolate elixir,  and divinize it.

4. repeat this cycle. Don’t forget to add more dark chocolate each round, the whole thing will work better.

🙂 🙂 🙂 what a yummy practice! If your orbit practice has gotten a little slack recently, try this.

Minke de Vos, Canadian Senior Instructor, goes local. I have long admired the beauty of her nefertiti-like neck. But now I admire her for developing a wholly new practice: Iron Neck Qigong. She may reveal some of these secrets this summer at our NEW summer retreat center – Heavenly Lake, 20 minutes from Asheville, North Carolina. (more coming on that soon).

There is a famous Elephant Camp near Tao Garden. Elephants represent dynamic Earth Chi, and it was a thrill to engage with them intimately.

If you ever take an elephant ride, be sure to remove your shoes and socks. This allows you to communicate directly with the elephant’s spine, which already has high level telepathic power.

When you put these Asian mammoths in a bathtub (or nearby river), they instantly turn into playful little kids.

Elephant sre extremely well-mannered, offering a helping foot whenever possible.

The artistic side of elephants revealed by their paintbrush skills. They say only elephants with a “douible brain” can learn this. Is it genuinely creative? (The elephant only knows how to paint this one painting).

This elephant’s painting is a whole lot better than the stuff I’ve seen a lot of human’s slap on the canvas….

When an elephant s wraps it’s powerful trunk around your neck, it’s very scary….and kind of sexy.

Reminder: Don’t miss it if you are in the area!

This is the Year of the Golden (Metal) Tiger. So I decided to visit a “Tiger Farm”, that had dozens of tigers. The tigers in the photos below are definitely NOT stuffed animals! They are never drugged, and are not circus-trained.

I was interested to test my Taoist Smiling Qi (= chi) projection skills. In the basic Tao Inner Smile, you smile inside your own body to create a feeling of deep peace and unconditional acceptance. At more advanced levels, you radiate this same feeling to others or the general Qi field. I figured a Tiger would be a really good, objective test.

I offered one of the farm keepers an extra fee to allow me into a cage with one of his tigers. When I told him what I wanted to do – Tickle the Testicles of a Tiger while taming its mind with the Tao Inner Smile, he looked at me like I was crazy. But he took my money, made me sign a release form in case I got killed (I’m not making this up), and then told me to go inside any cage I wanted.

  The following is a visual instruction manual that I’ve developed for others who want to Tickle a Tiger’s Testicles as part of their Inner Smile training. If you want to come to this training this weekend (oct. 15 -17) in Asheville, contact Jan in my office at 888 999 0555. It is only $144. for the whole weekend. It includes the Five Animals (including special Tiger Qigong), Six Healing Sounds, and the uniquely powerful Wudang Mountain version of the Microcosmic Orbit.

After this training, you will definitely be ready to handle ANY of the big energy changes that might pounce on you during this Year of the Tiger.

STEP 1: AVOID TIGERS WITH BAD TEMPER.

This Tiger was pacing nervously and occasionally angrily banging on the fence.
My head could fit nicely inside his jaws. The Inner Smile has its limitations…don’t push your luck.

STEP 2:  PICK A RESTING TIGER, AND APPROACH IT FROM THE REAR.

If you approach a Tiger from the front, he might think you want to play
 a friendly game of “swat the head” and “bite the neck”.
a Tiger’s notion of play is a bit rough for us thin-skinned humans.
Slowly approach from the rear, making no sudden movements.

STEP 3: SURPRISE THE TIGER BY BITING HIS TAIL.

The tiger’s tail is connected to his spine and brain. This is a maternal signal,
learned by all cubs, and shocks him into submission, if done properly. Bite neither too hard nor too softly.

STEP 4: HOLD HIS TAIL AROUND YOUR NECK. GENTLY STROKE HIS RIGHT TESTICLE.

In qigong training, we learn that the right side of the body is the yin side.
Stroking the right testicle arouses a more receptive response.
(This is also used in Taoist sexual energy training).
Wrapping his tail around your neck allows the tiger to monitor you as being friendly.
Be sure to use the tail to project a feeling of love from your heart/spine/neck into his spine/brain.

STEP 5: BRING IN A FEMALE ASSISTANT TO STROKE HIS LEFT TESTICLE

The left testicle controls the yang/aggressive side of the tiger.
If you have a woman handle this part, you are likely to see the fierce male tiger drop its head to the ground,
and enter into the giant pussycat’s realm of sexual fantasy. Let’s face it – the males of all species are basically the same.
Once you lovingly have them by the balls, you’ve got them.

Note I have moved my hand up closer to its heart, to infuse the sexual energy with calming Love Qi.

STEP 6: RELAX AND SMILE TO THE TIGER’S WHOLE BEING

Remember that you are just another animal to the Tiger.
They can read your energetic vibrations more clearly than can most humans.

So be clear: are you sending Love Qi or Fear Qi? It all starts inside you.

ps. consider doubling your life insurance policy before attempting this training.

Smiling to the Wild Tiger inside each of us, and its Serene, Powerful Aspect,
