  1. huh, I would say no. The bowls I would more closely compare with mantra singing and other deeply resonant sounds. They resonate deeply in the body's cells and cause waves of internal vibrations, movement. And the vibrations spread out over much larger regions. The Chinese healing sounds are a lot more specific to the organs and they emulate sounds associated with them i.e. the steaming tea pot to release pressure from the liver/gall bladder (thereby releasing anger i.e. 'blowing off steam') or the melancholic sigh for the lungs. These sounds have a way of attracting the specific organ's attention, and I'd say their effectiveness is actually quite subjective and experiential/cultural.

     

    Also, there's the aspect of passive/active. A singing bowl 'massage' is done for you, and the more passive you are, the more effective the experience. Nobody can do the organ healing sounds for you.

     

    Sidenote:

     

    In groups and for myself (for example, while driving, lol), I do a kind of humming exercise where we go through the (German) vowel sounds, rearranged to fit the area of the body they're meant to reach: U, O, A, E, I and the the classic M from Ohm, or a nasal NG sound.

     

    But German is a phonetic language and the letters are pronounced differently, so it' actually going:

     

    U = "Oooooooo" (fool) Unten, below, Huiyin

    O = "Oooohhhh" (grow) Bauch, belly

    A = "Aaaahhhh" (pot) Herz, Heart

    E = "Aaaaayyyy" (sway) Kehle, throat

    I = "Eeeeeeee" (feel) Stirn, forehead

    ... Mmmmmnnngg .... Baihui :-)

     

    Starts at the bottom and works its way up ... It's normally done in sitting, and in yoga classes. But because I'm a Qigong dude, we stand up and have a nice arm movement to go with it. I then do it in the reverse direction, to return to the roots and remain well grounded.

     

    Soaring Crane- I have been playing with the German Vowels and they are impressive!

     

    I can feel them, right away, in the region they are "supposed" to be in. Interestingly, it is also starting to open things up and resonate more the more I do them.

     

    Thank you for sharing!

     

    The vowel sounds are, from what little I have heard, words of power. A very powerful way of working with reality and the universal force.

     

    What has your experience been with them?

     

    Peace


  2. TCM is used together with Western Medicine in China too. I do not understand why you do not want to use them together. Anyway, it is your liver, not my business at all.

     

    Everybody here speaks of tolerance, yet I do not see any sign of it.

     

    Wish you a good health.

     

    Sure, plenty use it together. I spent 10 years using Western Medicine. Now, I am having to repair the damage that was done and heal what was never healed. There is plenty of good in it, for sure. It is not my path, though.

     

    That depends on what you consider tolerance. Is tolerance letting people say what they want to say and not saying what you want? If so, then it is one sided. Spectrums of tolerance!

     

    Thank you! I wish you good health, as well!

     

    Edit- After a bit of thought, I wonder if Tolerance would stem, mostly, from the Yi/Spleen. If the Yi opens potentials and tolerance is an acceptance of other potentials, maybe a Yi imbalance is at play.

     

    Peace


  3. First of all, what you have written was contradictory according to English language. Instead of writing "Is it healed yet? Nope." You should have said, at least, "the healing process still continues" or a similar thing.

     

    I have nothing against your story. You are claiming that I do want your healing to be possible? How did you reach this solution is a mystery. You are reading a non existing intent from my side. If you like the ""Voowww, great story!" type comments, you should also be prepared to face objective comments too. I did not even criticize you, just asked for the liver function tests.

     

    If you had had liver function tests with you, it would have been much more easier to prove your story to a skeptic. Repeat, I am not that skeptic but anyone can be. As far as I understand, some medical doctors inspected you visually and also tapping on your liver, for a experienced doctor it tells many things but it never replaces liver function tests.

     

    Liver is a very important organ in human body. My recommendation is to have liver function tests, for your own good. It will not jeopardize your spiritual process but supports and proves it.

     

    By writing peace at the end of a post, there is no peace. Peace comes when the contents of your posts are peaceful.

     

    Hm.. - is it healed yet- nope-....How do these two statements oppose each other?

     

    I was asking if you did not want it to be possible. Much is misunderstood/ missed thru typing. Clarification was the intent.

     

    Criticism is a good thing! Your comment seemed a bit strange since you did not explain why what I said was contradictory, then asked a question about validity. That is why I asked to clarify your intent. I have no interest in debating if it is possible.

     

    I do not need to prove my story. It is just that, my story. Tests will prove nothing, since the "skeptic" will not be there when I take them. The idea is also not based on my story. It is based on TCM theory.

     

    In my experience, liver function tests, which I have had done in the past, told the western orthodox doctors nothing about its true condition. In my experience, there are far more reliable ways to see/ test and those have shown themselves to be accurate when done by a skilled practitioner. Examples- applied kinesiology, the various forms of chinese diagnosis, symptom grouping and channel state.

     

    There is peace if I choose to have peace, just as you can choose peace.

     

    Peace


  4. Could you also support your argument with medical checks?

     

    For instance, chronologically, your liver function test results (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liver_function_tests) were bad at one time, and then after some time, the same tests were applied to find better results? Did you give blood samples for these two separate tests? Or are you just talking about your feelings?

     

    My experience is based on observation and symptoms. Eye color, pain in liver area, feelings of sluggishness, temple area headaches/ migraines, nausea, before and after detoxification(liver specific and other) and what various doctors have said (that my liver is weakened/ damaged based on the doctor).

     

    Do I have tests to "prove" my argument? No.

     

    Do I need to? No.

     

    I have no argument to prove. Its just an idea. Something to think about and see if it works for a person in their own experience, if it has any value.

     

    If it has none for you, so be it!

     

    Is there a reason you do not want this idea to be possible? Quoting what I said in reply to the contradiction comment and asking if I have tests, which wont ever really prove anything to you or anyone else, does not address what you thought was a contradiction and why you thought it was one.

  5. Hun controls the dreams... they seem restless and looking for action at any cost.

     

    I almost never dream... Or at least I never remember them (as we are told we all dream every night).

     

    You need to explore why your dreams are this way... Liver/Hun.

     

    Your courage seems in the right place so there is some amount of self-actualization.

     

    Maybe try this, as a purging action:

     

    Slight cup your right hand. Then slap your liver/gall bladder area (or have another do it). And also move to the side of the ribs, and downward... all in a circular motion. how bad does it sting, or not? Wiggle the toes to give it a path out.

     

    Interesting...i did not see the connection to dreams.. They are restless, looking for action.

     

    You must have dreams so amazing, that your mind cannot handle the awesomeness! haha.

     

    Very good point. I will explore why my dreams are the way they are....Oh, fun!

     

    There is some amount of self actualization, yep. How much? Only the shadow knows.......

     

    I can slap the liver area lightly, as you said and it does not hurt. The liver sometimes hurts on its own time. hah! I should fire it!

     

    Thank you for your insight and help, Dawei.

     

    Peace


  6. In the old days, one could download from scribd at will... now you must pay for it... Let's just say I saw the day coming and I downloaded everything I could... but I must of missed this one !

     

    Yes, the new system...Grrr!!!

     

    I got allot before they changed it. I did have to pay 8 bucks, I spent a month gathering like a squirrel! I got over a hundred books from that 8 dollars. MAUAHAHA!

     

    Here ya go! Fresh to order!

  7. Do you dream or how is your dream-state? (no... I won't turn Freudian on you!)

     

    And how would you characterize your courage ? (No... I won't compare you to the cowardly Lion!)

     

    hehe, questions! Fun.

     

    I dream almost always. They are wild, crazy, constantly changing. Often times violent in some form. Like an action movie!

     

    Courage? Hmm....I have it and I dont. Its a constant pull between knowing what I want to do/ be and restricting my self.

     

    Overall, I have quite a bit of courage. I always do what is right for me at the time. No matter how scary.

     

    What say you, oh wise one?!

     

    Peace


  8. I feel like my mom just asked me if I cleaned my room ! :D

     

    I wish I had time to really digest that book as it looks very good... I'll have to suffer with looking at whatever pages they provide in google books. :)

     

    Hahaha! Naww. Not like that.

     

    You can get it on Scribd. Thats where I got it.

     

    A book worth having, me thinks.

     

    Please do let me know what you think when you can read it.

     

    Peace


  9. Contradiction.

     

    Not a contradiction. There is heal-ing, it is not heal-ed, yet.

     

    The aspect of my Spirit that is connected is also not heal-ed, yet.

     

    If you still think there is a contradiction, please explain what you think and why. Otherwise, it is not clear and understanding cannot be gained.

     

    Peace


  10. The Systematic Classic of Acupuncture & Moxibustion

    By Mi Huangfu

     

    ?

     

    I have saved a link to the google book version... :)

     

    Yea! That book. It is interesting. Allot of it is a bit too complex for me, yet. There are pieces I can grasp, which I find fascinating.

     

    Its a nice book to have.

     

    What do you think, Dawei?


  11. I've always found it interesting in TCM Taoist stuff that different parts of our bodies, most especially our organs, house a large number of spirits :). Specific generals for different areas, with different jobs and so forth.

     

    It is fascinating, isnt it?! I love the way the Taoist/ Classical books/ systems see the world. Especially how It has a depth to it, in how the universe, our small place in it, is perceived.

     

    An example of Spirit->Organ healing in my own life. I have had Liver problems since I was born. I have also had intense anger problems. From what I understand, the Hun has something to do with boundaries and humanity. Also kindness. To ones self and others.

     

    So, boundaries is something I have worked on. Also, learning to express anger in a healthy, balanced way. I have noticed that anger fortified personal boundaries. Its very powerful and establishes boundaries that may be weak or broken.

     

    In doing that work, my liver changes. It starts to work more, sometimes it gets un-stuck by itself after I work on a spiritual/mental/emotional aspect connected to it. I can feel it move and gurgle. Is it healed yet? Nope.

     

    I have experienced a connection, though.

     

     

    When you say a large number of Spirits, BKA, what amount are you talking about? More then just one that is expansive and vast?

     

    I would love to hear what you know/ think!

     

    Thanks.

  12. In the TCM system, it seems that our body is an energetic sack/ vessel.

     

    The Organs seem to be a denser manifestation. The Spirits are a "lighter" manifestation of the same "thing".

     

    If you can heal the Spirits thru healing the Organs....You can also heal the Organs thru healing the Spirit.

     

    If you are lacking Will, cultivate it and the Organ will grow stronger as well!!

     

    The Spirits also help us see which Organs are unbalanced. Its a two way street!

     

    This may help in understanding why a person may become diseased and then, go do things they always wanted to do ( healing the Spirit) and become healthy.

     

    Has anyone ever tried this? If so, what has your experience been?

     

    Peace.

  13. This is a great thread!

     

    To answer the OPs question from the beginning - my teacher taught me sounds for some of the organ pairings. I cant remember them at the moment, but if I remember I will repost!!

     

    Fantastic! Im glad you joined in!

     

    Please do share some if you remember. That would be a great addition!

     

    I have heard that some QiGong systems, like Dayan and Yi Jin Jing, use the sounds differently. They have their own categorization that does match the 6, yet can be different. Such as pairs, instead of single sounds.

     

    I look forward to hearing what you learned, Daojones!

     

    Peace


  14. I think I finally found an excuse to actually try out my chart in combination with all the good info you and your thread provides!

     

    Wooo! Yay for excuses!

     

    Let me know what you find out! I am interested to hear what you find by combining all this.

     

    Thanks!

     

    Peace


  15. Great idea... I'm going to try to utilize it in this way.

     

     

    You didn't say why you picked PC6 or LU7... I saw a pattern until you said SM11... the first two are Luo Connecting points.

     

    I created this chart some time ago to keep track of the Energy points:

     

    r933b7.jpg

     

    Jing-Well points are where the qi bubbles up. Jing-Well points are indicated to revive consciousness. Jing-Well points are known to treat fullness below the Heart and clear Heat.

     

    Ying-Spring points are where the qi dribbles down the meridian. Ying-Spring points are indicated for heat in the body and changes in the complexion. Ying-Spring points are known to clear heat from the meridian.

     

    Shu-Stream points are where the qi starts to pour down the meridian. They are known to alleviate heaviness and pain in the joints. On Yin Meridians, Shu-Stream points are identical to the actions of Yuan-Source points.

     

    Jing-River points are where the qi of the meridian begins to flow more heavily. They are known to treat cough and asthma due to pathogenic cold or heat.

     

    He-Sea points are where the qi of the meridian collects and goes deep into the body. He-sea points are known to indicated treat rebellious qi and diarrhea.

     

    Luo-Connecting points of one meridian can communicate with two meridians.

     

    Xi-Cleft point is the site where the Qi of the meridian is deeply converged. Qi and blood are stored deeply at these particular points. If there appear abnormal reactions at X-Cleft points, it shows that the pathogens have entered the deeper parts of Zang-Fu organs. Thus, they are used for acute, painful symptoms, inflammation, protracted diseases of its pertaining meridian and Zang-Fun organ. Also, Xi-Cleft points of the Yin meridians have hemostatic functions.

     

    Yuan-Source points are the sites where the Yuan (Primary) qi of the Zang-Fu organs passes and stays. Puncturing the Yuan-Source points stimulates the vital energy of the regular meridians

     

    http://www.rootdown.us/Points/PointBrowse.aspx?EnergeticPropertyID=2

     

    I found this in a book I am reading thru-

     

    When a disease is in the viscera, choose the well points. When a disease results in a change of color, choose the rapids points. When a disease is sometimes mild and sometimes severe, choose the brook points. When a disease results in changes in the voice or is due to repletion within a channel [a variant version says “connecting vessels”] and (stagnant) blood, choose the stream points. And when a disease is in the stomach [a variant version says “chest”] or is caused by irregularities in eating and drinking, choose the confluence points. Therefore this is spoken of as flavor ruling the confluence points. Together these are called the five changes (associated with the five transporting points).

     

    Connecting this theory with the chart above and the sounds could be powerful.

     

    What are your thoughts?

     

    Peace

    The reason I picked Small Intestine 11 was because that is where her pain started. It was the first place that became sore, then it spread down the channel into her arm. So, I started at the first point of pain. It worked quite well.

     

    Wonderful charts! Very helpful to have the types laid out so clearly. Thanks, Dawei!

     

    Peace


  17. I have not tried that. I can understand if you press at the point of pain but when do you press somewhere other than the pain and which point do you choose to press along the channel? There are points along each channel for very specific uses so wondering what experience you have?

     

    For example- Last night I felt my heart was a bit iffy, so I pressed and massaged Pericardium 6. It felt a little sore, so I did 3 rounds of HA while pressing it. Afterwards, my heart felt better and the point did not hurt.

     

    Another time, I was feeling a bit coughy/ sneezy. It was also hard to breathe. Lung 7 often times helps my breathe/ diaphragm to move lower and deepen the breath. So, I rubbed and pressed Lung 7 and did some Si's. My breath felt much smoother and deeper afterwards.

     

    My girlfriend had pain in her Small Intestine channel area, so I massaged the point of origin, SM 11, while she did 3 HA's.

     

    Afterwards, she felt better. She then did three Kee's/ Xi, Triple Warmer sound. Her arm felt much better and SM 11 did not hurt anymore.

     

    This is what I have been experimenting with. Its quite powerful, so far.

     

    I have been choosing points based on what they do and if they hurt. It seems to work quite well.

     

    Try it out!

  18. In the Primordial Breathing, Vol. 1, it is more like a prescription where one can use any one of the six sounds as needed:

     

    T'ai Hsi Mi Yao Ko Chueh

    The Secret Songs about the Embryonic Breath Secret (P. 49-50)

     

    The Six Kinds of Breathing:

     

    When practicing the six kinds of breathing, if you feel that there is a difference, then you should stop. Do not do it in excess. Your mind and breath would be damaged by overdoing it. The six kinds of breathing are as follows:

     

    (1) The Hsi. The Hsi method is the most magic and it should be kept (secret). It belongs to the nose externally and internally to the lungs. If you feel cold, hot, tired, stuffy or have skin diseases you will surely get rid of such unpleasantness by using this kind of breathing.

     

    (2) The Ho. Ho belongs to the Ruler of the heart. It rules the tongue. Whenever you feel the inside of your mouth is dry and rough, or you feel anxious or your body is hot, you should look at the degree of ailment and use the Ho breathing to curse it. The lack of harmony of the cooking vessels and the viscera will naturally disappear.

     

    (3) The Hu. Hu belongs to the Spleen. its spirit rules the earth. If you are anxious, or stuffy or you abdomin is puffed up and your limbs are swollen, or if you have a stuffiness that is hard to open up, use the Hu breathing to handle this. You will then be as good as before.

     

    (4) The Hsu: Hsu belongs to the liver. Its spirit rules the eyes. If you have red eyes and tears come down as if you are crying. It is all because the heat in your liver is rushing upward. Use the Hsu breathing to handle this. You will quickly or soon see the difference.

     

    (5) The Ch'ui. Ch'ui belongs to the kidneys. It rules the ears. If your loins, your waist, or knees are often cold, or if the flow of Yang (sperm) is stopped, you should subtly use the Ch'ui to handle this. Do not go outside and seek medicine.

     

    (6) The Hsi. Hsi belongs to the three cooking vessels. Whenever there is an ailment relating to the three cooking vessels, the three cooking vessels are injured by unharmonious breath. Just use the Hsi to handle this.

    Excellent! Thank you for posting this excerpt, Dawei!

     

    These breaths are so powerful! Its a fantastic healing system to have on hand. Its so much more then just purging.

     

    I have experimented with pressing channel points and using the corresponding healing sound. The channel "clears" much faster. If there is pain along the channel or at the point, the sound helps clear it faster.

     

    Tis a powerful combination, breath, sound and channel manipulation.

     

    Have you ever tried this, Dawei? If so, what did you experience?

    This topic has really revived my interest in the sounds. Nice job.

     

     

    AH! Fantastic find, Dawei!!

     

    Thank you for posting it! It is a very interesting book. I keep going back to the 6 Breaths section and experimenting with the different systems it talks about.

     

    So far, they do seem to work.

     

    An example, my gf was dealing with a state of excess cold affecting the kidneys. So, we tried a few breaths of the Sun Simiao formula. It prescribes Si for kidneys and excess cold in the body! Perfect!

     

    Did 3 breaths, felt better. Did 10, improvement. we stopped at 30 forceful breathes and 10 soft. It said 50, then 10 soft.

     

    Afterwards, she did feel much better. Her kidneys did not hurt at all!

     

    Using them in this way could be potentially life altering. We would have access to the most basic function, breath, and be able to heal our selves with it in a clinical fashion.

     

    Thats what I am experimenting with right now.

     

    I am so glad your interest in the sounds has been revived, Dawei!

     

    There is much gold to be found in them.

  20. I think you are right.

     

    It'd be interesting to consider wether anything in this field has the role of doing 'just' one thing.

     

    So far I have yet to find anything that does "one" thing. Maybe it has one function. Such as gathering. Yet, it can gather a whole range of "things"!

     

    It is so amazing!

     

    In my limited experience and experimentation with the sounds, they are extremely medicinal. You can use them to heal from specific states that are arising. Bring them to balance.

     

    Tis quite fun!

     

    Peace


  21. At least a final word should be given to the fact that the practice is called the SIX healing sounds... not the five organ sounds :)

     

    The ultimate goal is to purge excess or stagnate Qi out of the organ/energy container. But we don't want to just act like we're beating a dusty cover where the dust simply re-settles in the same place again.

     

    The SIXth Sound is for the triple burner and is "HEEEEEEEE."

     

    You can visualize the Taiji Pole as a tunnel with a great wind being pushed from the top to bottom and picking up everything in its wake and pushing it down to the feet and extending away from the body. I would do this a few times to completely purge... this can be done at bedtime to settle the heart and calm the body as it roots the energy centers.

     

    Here is how Chia describes it:

    Lie flat on your back, if possible. With your mouth open, exhale slowly as your produce the sound "HEEEEEEEE." Imagine a huge rolling pin flattening out your body from the forehead down to the toes. This will balance all the energies activated by the other sounds and help relax the body fully.

     

    I like to use the Taiji Pole image as it is fundamental to energy work; it connects the energy centers as well as the Chakras. If you practice breathing through the crown (Baihui) to the LDT, the path to take is usually the Taiji Pole.

     

    An important consideration which applies to healing is that we are 'giving the Qi a path out'. That means, if you are a patient and someone is doing healing sounds on your, or purging you, you should periodically wiggle your toes and hands... it gives your intention a reminder of where the 'path out' is. And some will feel their legs tingle.

     

    That is an excellent point! The little Fire systems, Triple Burner and Pericardium, must not be overlooked!

     

    In a book called Daoist Body Cultivation, on the section of the 6 Breaths, it talks about various treatise/ books that talk about the 6 Breaths.

     

    In one section, it talks about Sun Simiao in the Qianjin Yifang (supplementary prescription worth a thousand gold pieces) and Xi is prescribed for Spleen, aches, yellow in dreams and infants playing with danger.

     

    The same book also talks about the Yangxing Yangming Lu (on nourishing inner nature and extending life). It says in that book, that Xi will drive out all afflictions.

     

    This paragraph of this section is what got me thinking about the sounds in a different way-

     

    If you want to practice the exhalation method of the long breath, use Chui when you are cold, Hu when you are warm. The breaths are most excellent for curing diseases. Chui will drive out wind; Hu will drive out heat; Xi will drive out affliction; He will make the qi descend; Xu will disperse blockages; and Si will moderate extremes. Since ordinary people are frequently given to extremes, they will use a lot of Xu and Si. Xu and Si are the core of the long breath. ( 2.2b-3a; Ding 1993, 16)

     

    I have noticed a trend. The sounds have been assigned different properties/ abilities by different people. Some say Chui will expel excess cold, some say it will drive out wind, some say it will drive out heat. Another says Chui will keep the kidneys at ease during winter.

     

    I have experimented with using the sounds in the fashion the above paragraph says to and it does work. I was feeling very cold and I used Chui. After about 3 breathes, I felt much warmer.

     

    I find this way of looking at and using them to be very interesting.

     

    Maybe these sounds do more then just purge the organs. That has been my experience, at least.

     

    Also, the chinese system of thought is not just the western anatomical organ. They are also a system/ function of the whole. Remembering that has helped me to see the function of these sounds in a different way.

     

    Hope someone finds this interesting!

  22. The six sounds are for the six Yin organs... they are ASCENDING meridians...

     

    guess what happens after you ascend a merry-go-round... you got it... you fall.. into DESCENDING Yang organs...

     

    If you want a more Yin sounds, keep it to the front, cool, throat; if you want more Yang, keep it to the back, heat, throat...

     

    Interesting...I had not thought of that! The Ascending and Descending organ/ channel connection....

     

    I have heard of different ways of explaining the 6 sounds, which actually seem to be different sounds.

     

    One says Hoo and another says Chui for kidneys. They dont actually say Hoo, they say how to make the sound, which is exactly like Hoo. Lips in an O shape, blow out with a whistling wind sound..

     

    Another one explains Hoo and Fu as the same, which they do not seem to be. Fu talks about the F and Oo sound with the whistle, while another explains Hoo as just H and Oo. Both sources say its the same organ/ channel and the same sound.

     

    Is it?

     

    I wonder if there are slight variations of the sounds, which are actually different sounds themselves! If so, it could expand upon its healing uses.

     

     

    http://www.egreenway.com/qigong/sixhealingsounds.htm This website has exerpts from a few sources.

     

    Here is what it says about the Earth sound-

     

    Pronounced as the word "who", with the lips rounded and the tongue suspended in mid-mouth, as though blowing out a cande. - Daniel Reid

     

    Keep the lips soft and loose, let the tongue float freely in the mouth not touching the inside of the mouth, allow the lips to buzz. "The FU healing sound has three components- the consonant, the vowel, and the wind sound. The consonant is the sound f, and it allows you to release the excessive buildup of heat exhaust in the spleen. The vowel sound of FU is the sound u, and it serves to strengthen the organ. The subvocal wind sound nourishes the organ and is the soud your vibrating lips make when you blow ar through them, such as when you are trying to amke a baby laugh or imitating the sould of a propeller plane in flight." Sat Chuen Hon.

     

     

    What if those are two different sounds? Hoo and Fu? That would be interesting!

     

     

    Dawei- What do you mean by keep it to the front/ back? Do you mean the sound is coming from the lips more then the back of the throat and vice versa?

     

    Thank you!

     

    Peace


  23. Yes, more experimentation needed, how terrible! :D lol

     

    Hmmm, I should look into that in my reading, some folks have everything narrowed down to yin and yang. You are right though, "more yin than ____" and "more yang than _____" is more like it, than something being completely yin or yang, as far as I understand it anyways.

     

    I would assume the female sexual fluid is more yin, and when the 2 combine, you get all sorts of awesome alchemical combinations going on.

     

    I'm thinking about the workings where the couple drinks wine with said "elixir" (it is actually called that), or talismans are charged, or such...

     

    Oh, terrible indeed! We must go put forth such tremendous effort in the pursuit of knowledge and truth!! hah!

     

    From the little that I have read/ heard about Yin/ Yang, its comparison based. This is Yang compared to that which is Yin, etc.

     

    After more thought, there could be substances in the body that are always Yin, compared to the whole system. So long as you are "human", this "thing" is Yin and this is Yang. Still comparison based, just more constant.

     

     

    Is there an absolute Yin, that is always Yin no matter what it is compared to? That would be neat!

     

    I assumed the same about female sexual fluids. Yet, the more fluids there are, the more magic seems to happen, in my experience.

     

    Maybe the fluids are conductors of some sort. The more sexual fluids a woman produces, changes how the energy flows.....

     

    I want to know how to mix the male and female sexual fluids and create healing/ rejuvination for both! So far, ejaculation drains me a bit.

     

    Interestingly, the longer I store sexual energy without ejaculation and have sex, when I do ejaculate, the fatigue is far less. A lot of energy is built up. How to channel and store it efficiently is the problem!

     

    Hmm...If the person with the most male/ Yang energy embodies and expresses that energy in the purest way they can and the person with the most feminine/ Yin energy does the same....I wonder if that would create a whole different dynamic?

     

    Thoughts!
