Owl recommended a blend of olive oil and aloe gel.

> do you know if it’s suitable to use coconut oil as lube.. ? >

Dunno. There are a number of links if you google it. By ingesting it orally, it does feel circulating and nourishing, like it might be affecting somewhere not too far from the jing~nourishment level in a good way. Might be…[Read more]

Coincidentally, I was at a local Indian foods market recently, saw coconut oil ($4/bottle) and thought yummmmm!. Got it home and started using it in stuff, tried half a spoonful straight and my body really liked it. Search the web for “coconut oil”; its a miracle cure for some people.

LOL!, LOL!

ph> you can’t teach them. >

You guys are reading too much into that, lol;
its Mr. Poo Head, not Ms. lol!

lol, lol.

j> Is this a good thing or bad thing? If its a good thing, should I just leave it be, and let it settle down on its own naturally. >

Its good (‘normal’, in fact).
Leave it be. Best way to do that is to get up early in the morning and exercise / practice.

The liver “rules spreading and flowing”. The liver and kidneys are closely related.

The cool thing about Taoism (and also what makes it so difficult) is that it really takes on the integration of all layers of being: from the physical (making all tissues blockage-free and well nourished), to energetics (activating acupoints, opening and filling channels & vessels), to stabalizing concentration and realizing Nature of Mind. All…[Read more]

A friend of mine had a copy and I read some few little sections of it, really rich poetic depth.

M> My thought is, no emptiness, no Alchemy. >

B> I beleive Emptiness is the matrix for alchemy to occur >

Agreed.

A.W.> …any attempt to truly understand the core nature of personal cycles, and any attempt to control same through conscious manipulation is doomed to frustration and failure! That which you hope to embrace will elude you so long as you insist on ‘wrapping your mind around it’. >

Yup.

I would only add that maneuvers are…[Read more]

Good. Go back to the linked references from this thread and review for further insight. There’s further refinement available through this method.

f> What about accessing early haven, prenatal qi in the core vessel, >

Best thing is to simply practice: employ meditative stability in the deep-center/s (core vessel) for some duration.

f> So you mean that blending water and fire, for example, is a stabilization of energies for non-dual states. >

There are steps.
First you blend the energies. The blended energy is more stable. (Its also more nurturing and pure and so assists health, well being, allows channels to open easier, etc.) But that it is more stable makes the…[Read more]

Pema, Fajin,

Just my 2 cents, as both of you have pretty unusual extensive training..

ime, the nexus of the energetic centers and the central channel – what is felt as the “still place” in the deep-center of the centers – is a gateway to non-dual states, by means of sustained concentration. The blending of energies is just a precursor that…[Read more]

Certainly anyone should go to a doctor in person if they feel that that’s appropriate.

In addition to Plato’s good advice..

What’s been helping me lately is to do acupressure on the arms and legs and then – immediately afterward –
get into a bridge and do lower abdomenal breathing. The acupressure opens the channels which allows the abdomen to energetically ventilate. The physical posture and breathing, obviously, also…[Read more]

m> Sometimes I stay close to the earth pearl but often I’ll go out and visit with some difficult energy in the neck or lungs and 30 minutes later re-establish my connection to the pearl hopefully integrating some of whatever I’ve been experiencing. >

f> Are there any tips I can give him for clearing up jing stagnation. >

Actually, the tips that I already gave are appropriate for that (yi sw. chi, arm & leg acupressure). Dig through the IS1 section on my site, the post by Jampa re: palm & sole breathing. Getting the arms & legs running is really extraordinarily effective, and non-traumatic…[Read more]

First priority:

#1. Get him to a qualified dr of chinese medicine, asap. This is by far the top priority, and anything the doc says that nixes out anything I might say: go with the doc.

Thoughts that I have:

1. The tan tien has been traumatized, so anything you do directly to the tan tien has got to be super gentle. No direct physical…[Read more]
