Yes definately. Things wax and wane. You need to concentrate on the medium level of your experiences. Sweedish dragon i have read many of your posts on here and tao bums and i have heard of some health problems you have and i would like to attract your attention to something that is probably more of direct benefit to your actual problem.…[Read more]

I wouldn’t. It will balance you. Substance abuse will unbalance you. It’s a way out from substance abuse. An easier path to follow. Something to believe in from concrete personal experience for the person involved.

I would say all the practices help each other. Don’t focus on one too much. If you are having trouble in one don’t beat yourself up. Thats counter productive. Improvement in one will cause you to improve in another. All these 3 practices are basic and integrate with each other. As long as when you say iron shirt you mean iron shirt I not III. Stay…[Read more]

I don’t think it’s good to coordinate breath with qi. You can to open up the channels if they are blocked and it’s a forceful way of doing it. One may think that this will do it faster, to force open the blockage will open it up but forcing is tensing and is the absolute opposite of what you are wanting to acheive. I find qigong is very active…[Read more]

I couldn’t agree with this more. It is not planning, or thinking or ‘going to do’ that will help you. It’s what you do NOW. The more you do it, the more you will be doing it, the more you will be how you want to BE!.

Everyone usually does the same things in life, consciousness repeats itself naturally. Therefore when you go to work and do your…[Read more]

It’s useful if you want to make some progress, be better faster or stronger or gain some advantage. If you only live in the wu wei then you get left behind. Although living in the wu wei is great and all you still need to have some judgements. You need to use both sides of your brain. I want to eat. I want to provide a healthy environment for my…[Read more]

I disagree. I belive stereotypes are useful. They’re not 100% right but they can help you to have some type of picture about someone you know nothing about. You may be wrong but you will ‘generally’ be more right than wrong. Therefore they are useful. Learning things is not useless. We just need to be able to turn our ‘learnt’ filters on and off.…[Read more]

louis

a person with an abnormally large penis and natural hormones that girls can’t help swooning over

16th of an ounce of cannabis (worth £10)

Used when something is said and you do not agree with it. Means “or not” or “don’t think so”
person 1:oh yeh look at her. shes hot eh?
person 2:eh louis mate

A zen like state of existence.…[Read more]

I’m not gay but i know a few gay people and i must admit they are the least agressive people i know. I think it’s normally the others that are aggressive to the gay people.

I remember hearing something like 2% of every animal species has some gay tendencies.

Maybe it’s also got something to do with deep down you don’t feel so relaxed when you’re leading a group into meditation as when your meditating on your own? Maybe as you lead the group at the beginning you are a little tense, then as you begin to meditate and relax the tension is being released and you get a dry throat as a result, then cough to…[Read more]

I don’t think not wanting to get bitten is going against the natural cycle of the world. Nobody likes mosquitos and even horses swat away flies etc with their tails. Just get some natural vanilla essence insect repellent, or find a recipe on the net. Thats why the tai chi symbol doesn’t have a straight line seperating yin and yang. You can always…[Read more]

Ah your discussion is very interesting and thanks for your answering of my questions. I have a couple more since you both seem very knowledgable.

My own thought is that the Du Mai is a yang channel – we put yin energy (sexual & earth) through it and though the Ren Mai is a yin channel we put yang energy (cosmic & universal) through it, and the…[Read more]

Yeah i have been getting a bit better with this idea. Now i look more at my sick time as a chance to just veg out, watch movies and get cosey and be lazy. Thing is i also indulge in chips and junk food during this time which isn’t much good for my cold but at least i don’t resent getting sick so much as i used to.

I think the healing tao is…[Read more]

Thanks alot for all your comments.

I do find garlic, echniasia and green tea work great when i’ve got a cold and dairy definately does mess it up worse.

If i change around diets and do a fruit/vege diet for a week that can bring on a cold too – not detox feeling a proper cold.
Same if i’ve been eating alot of veges then i eat a heap of…[Read more]

If it’s true that this bigu state is really possible then they should be teaching qigong to all the people in Africa that have no food instead of sending them a few grains or rice. They have no jobs, they have all day to practice, i’m sure they could become adapt at the practice very quickly and become healthy.

I mean every living thing, animal…[Read more]
