PS
The diagram on page 205 of my copy does have the Yin Wei channel branching near armpit to run down inner arm. So it is a bit confusing.

I appreciate your saying so. I hope some clarification of course material is given in due course. Nice to wash those arm channels – now know that is macro orbit.
Getting used to tracing these feet to head ones as per the Twicken 8 extras book.

Yes, thanks, agree; tetanus a danger also if tread on something sharp.

thankyou. I have that book. I noted date of purchase 1993. Slow learner.

and of course pushing hands practice is meant to refine the rooting practice and test it. Some years ago I went to a weekly pushing hands club each week for about 3 years. By working with various partners in a group setting it quickly shows the flaws in structure and energy flow. The guy who set it up emphasised quickly going beyond fixed…[Read more]

the 5 phase model, surely, is useful here. The going up (wood) and illuminating experiences (fire, light) moves to coming back or down (metal) and having a body of some kind (earth, center)with jing/essence (water). The article reports refer to persons having a gentle re-entry it seems. After the high, the Samadhi, the metal phase condense to…[Read more]

Thanks. Yes, I understand and will do this.

I did do as you suggested. So that is start north for me, CW turn to right etc. The order of elements is then Fire – Wood – Water – Metal and I assume Earth to conclude. This is contra order to creation cycle.

By just following the Sun’s apparent movement by daily rotation (starting with fire) you get the creation cycle order but have to…[Read more]

Thanks for the invitation to report on experience.
Yes that is fine. I understand the desire to go CW as relating to earth time and manifesting.

I’m content to touch base with each direction whichever way I turn and not be too concerned about creation cycle or opposite cycle of elements. Just wanted to make that point about north-south…[Read more]

Just to add a few comments based on earlier discussion with Steven on this. I live in southern hemisphere and most definitely feel south to be cool, water; north to be fire and light. The sun’s path (ecliptic)is key. For me the direction of the sun’s path is north. The Chinese developed their view of earth’s directions based on their location -…[Read more]

I have done the course material up to Star Alchemy as well. The suggestion that one will need to return to the basics to integrate and ground the higher energies I find is very true. On return to basics they are not the same but go deeper. Recently I have needed to incorporate more of basics like fanning, venting, 6 sounds, 5 animals, bone…[Read more]

The Russellian science guys look at “The Tao of Physics” book and another view of quantum. Very interesting to hear them go for a simpler view. http://youtu.be/auRfT4gnp9A?t=30s

Hi,
Might relate to question:
The Lesser Kan and Li materials has a booklet which shows method of steaming organs and meridians while holding either the end of the meridian on the hands (LU,LI; HT, SI; PC,TH) and mentally touching ends of meridians on feet (ST, SP; BL,K; GB,LR) while holding the LU,LI points on hand. Makes the practice…[Read more]

lady explains. The short clip of some guy on top is awful but ignore that.
Think the point is just to relax, belly breathe, let the energy spread out through the whole body, which includes up to crown but not just focus on that alone. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcblwUeBpaM&feature=share&list=FLwo3shTel4-g

The Antikythera Mechanism – calculator for planet positions. History channel or Discovery channel have done documentary – this video shows workings nicely.
In documentaries – one of them concludes could be work of Archemides in concept and design; also that Athens had a tower of 4 winds in which a larger version displayed positions. http://you…[Read more]

yes, interesting how the discussion runs along similar track to the Taoist distinction of pre-natal and post-natal (or in Plato the world of the same and the world of change, the Western track of the 4 elements etc, see link).

I got interested in the Wave Structure of Matter (WSM) model and then the Electric Universe (EU) model. The comments…[Read more]

…a later video presentation from the same channel has a possible explanation why SETI research has not found radio signals; that planets may be in plasma configurations around suns – not allowing radio signals. Counter starts at 18 min leading to part where he mentions this as an aside. http://youtu.be/xoY2s3l3c9g?t=18m
