Sifu Max doesn't advocate the Guru-student relationship, on the DVDs he advised against it rather strongly. Thanks. Have to be able to differentiate in between all of the many people named "Max" here.

Calling him "Sifu Max" is out of the question then?

A Chinese female friend told me that Cantonese is written like a little picture. Look at the third character and use your imagination

For $300 it is DIRT CHEAP and worth every single penny...thousands of times over. Thing is that Sifu Max doesn't run a religious institution with the appropriate tax exemptions. Something has to be done in order to make sure that it is an ongoing operation. If I didn't have any other practices right now, then I would do it at the drop of a hat.

Dr.Morris out of the Hoshin and Bujinkan has noted that the most powerful Taoists are women, he says that the Yellow Court Canons verify this.

There might be a vastly different frame of thought in between Hindu Cultivation and Chinese Cultivation. Bill Bodri writes that a lot of the Chinese in the upper echelon of cultivation call it "clumsy fire" or "stupid fire".

Could I try answering Little1's question? During "Bliss and Emptiness" the parasympathetic nervous system, this system heals the mind and body and does the involuntary functions. Most people, including me, are stuck with the sympathetic nervous system running the show. The sympathetic nervous system is the system that revs the body into action.

I checked UG out on the internet. The guy is AMAZING.

If that's the case. If you live in a rural area or have a telescope then you could have gone outside to see if it was refering to something physical that had meaning. Just recently a completely Blank Spot was found that had nothing. No dark matter, no nothing.

Oops

The Grounding (Martial) Tan Tien is the Tan Tien that's about 1.5 inches below the belly button and in. The Cultivation Tan Tien is actually the Lower Brain. <--- I still haven't found a way to turn this one on.

Which lower Tan Tien? The grounding (martial) lower Tan Tien or the cultivation lower Tan Tien?

The type of mudras that I use are very basic. An example, For kidneys or water, I connect the ring finger to the thumb on the same hand. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. With the recent experimentation that I did, I know now that in order for something to be working the big toes have to be receiving bioelectricity indirectly. My meditation level is very low. I don't do well when a meditation has too many instructions. For example, 1. Do this mudra. 2. Breath like this. 3. Pay attention to this body part. 4. Visualize this. (It's bad enough that I can barely make out stick figures in my visualizations.) 5. Visualize that at the same time. 6. Pay attention to this other body part. and all of these things are supposed to be going on at the same time.

Retention or celibacy does help in elevating the body and mind's level of bioelectricity and speeding up cultivation progress. When the mudras are used, attention or intent needs to be put on the fingers that are connecting so that the bioelectricity make it to the fingers, is circulated in between the fingers, goes back to the brain, and then goes to one or both of the big toes in order to show that there is a successful connection. It's a weird way of using one of Shakyamuni's discourses on the big toe by using it for energy work in the body. I don't use kujin. Their information is good but it's not something that I want to introduce into what rudimentary practices I have right now.

I don't think that it is strange. I use mudras since they use hand reflexology points in order to turn on certain parts of the brain, and in turn those certain parts of the brain "talk" to the organs, and can better integrate the functions of the brain. I suspect that mudras may be very useful in speeding up development after a period (at least two weeks) of meditation (one-pointed or emptiness, moving or still) and retention. The meditation and retention, I think, are used to build the body's electrical potential to use the mudras.

Does Witch count?

"Rajneesh often asked women half his age to strip in front of him so that he could "feel their chakras." To facilitate this practice, he installed an electric lock on his bedroom door that could be activated from a button on his desk. Rajneesh groped the breasts of two of my women friends and "felt the chakras" of a third. I soon began to realize that like so many other girl grabbing Indian gurus who had made the headlines, Rajneesh on the human level was just an ordinary sexually immature Indian male. My lady friend who suffered the chakra feeling incident was so put off that she never came back to see him again. He had told her "Don't worry. You are mine now." That grasping statement had chilled her as much as the sexual advance. The young woman was a student of Indian music and had previously been sexually exploited by a famous Indian musician. She knew first hand what many Indian men were like. Rajneesh proved himself to be predictably and disappointingly the same. " "Feeling their chakras"????? At first this paragraph was hilarious, the ending was kind of scary.

lin kong Jing? What's that? It taught standing Kong Jing.

He cramped a BOATLOAD of info in the classes that he gave that were filmed and put to DVD. I wish that Sifu Max would have put DVDs out himself. One of the DVDs gave me the idea of experimenting with connecting each finger tip to each finger tip on the other hand. I'm assuming that it worked because both the big toes were vibrating on each connection

That was Sifu Max's doing. What I mean is that after some time in meditation, if you lay down in a corpse pose and start putting attention to a specific finger you may feel something change in the finger. Then you intensify attention in that finger and you actually feel electrical current in that finger. In a way, by placing attention on the finger, the conductivity increases before you start applying juice. I'm wondering if this conductivity can happen throughout the entire body all at once and be "on" 24-7.

I'm wondering. I've had a little hint of a taste of the magnetic body a few weeks ago. I'm wondering if the whole complete body rather than just a finger or a hand can feel like this

I have to start taking notes from you Seems that the Dao is a lot closer than people think

I was commenting in the wrong topic

I see energetic "wars" happen more often than not. I saw one person after getting leeched off of so many times, "play dead". After the hooks were sunk into him, it looked like he "energetically" jumped up and kicked the guy into the stomach. After that he just did a very violent disconnect by walking away, showing the other person that they had no power.
