"Bouncing the Front-line" (that's a good name for it) definately has brought stress to the fore, for me. Stuck places that've held emotional bruises, sexual tension, and illness divots. Old deep relationship grief. All good signs.

 

After bouncing the front, a few things have helped me process:

- Dont' sit around after. Move, stretch, breathe, run, whatever - just don't do this technique and then be immediately sedentary. Have the bouncing near the beginning of your practice session, not right at the end.

- Back-roller.

- Remember to breathe during the following hours, day.

 

The payoff: Everything is getting much easier.

I was giggleing all while doing errands today.

The meditation today didn't feel too comfortable. Come to think of it, the area around the spinal cord felt really tight during an acupressure massage a couple of weeks ago. How much easier did the ma roller make it to sit upright?

I am sorry to say that I could not find the time to attend...I need to phone and say sorry/hi to AiWai- I appologize now...

 

SD-should we send ya some Depends? Keeping EVERYTHING in yr pants can be trying! We may get sillier yet!

 

But in all semi-seriousness those sexy woman may test our abilities to maintain our qi and or mojo with so little effort I think that is a pretty super-power in itself...As every male who is hetero, (and femaale who isn't)- can testify to it...But what would the scientific proof need to be? If they can withstand extreme cold, and distract jing/qi retainers from their intentions and attentions what else can be achieved?

 

Stay warm out there ! Namaste-PDG

Could you send him my apologies too?

I wonder how Freud would comment on this thread. First a bunch of subjective rationalization negating the possibility of the supernatural or religious belief systems, placing materialism in a superior position as the dominant archetype because of it's basis in a more fashionable belief system, science; followed by a philosophical analysis of miniskirts in cold weather and a collective, but unspoken, fantasy that involves frozen nipples and asses.

 

I think we have a classic example of the unconscious rejection of the neurotic unconscious patterns implanted by the Catholic church coupled with the release of 2000 yrs of unconscious sexual repression. Which leads us to our current mode of personal freedom above social responsibility and vagina worship. Which of course is why every radical Muslim hates America and will eventually either kill us all or join us in our acceptance of animalistic modes which, propagated by large corporations, allow us to be controlled and manipulated on subtle levels that the Church only dreamed of.

 

Sweet ignorance.

Sorry, I can't reject the old guy on "Ripley's..." since I saw his palms glowing on that IR camera that they had set up. I believe that the guy was able to direct his chi with pinpoint precision. After reading some about alchemy, from my interpretation, conscious vision (focused vision) merges with unconscious vision (peripheral vision). Peripheral vision can pick up candlelight up to three miles away.

http://www.navaching.com/hawkeen/nwalk.html <--- even though what is done on this page is done without alchemy

From some of the reading, one of the indicators that the lower level alchemy is working is a difficulty with reading.

yes ... meditation and breathing.

 

What you're describing is good. There's absolutely no need to force or rush anything.

 

You might want to back off the "pump" 1/2 way incrementally until you get that same feeling w/ only the intention of lifting the perr. The same exercise can be done laying the arm on a table and lifting it 1" into the air, then 1/2" then 1/4" then 1/8" until the visable movement stops and you're only dealing with non-visable and finally intent mind only.

 

Good luck.

Thanks. I didn't think that I would be advancing this quickly with so little effort

I tried the circles on the abdomen after some experimenting with the breathing and squeezes (can't really call it meditating) a couple of days ago I have to look at the books again because I thought that I was going to make myself sick.

There is no such thing as magic.

 

There is such a thing as trickery and charlatans, but not magic.

 

If we take practice seriously, there really should be nothing that we experience that is not just matter of fact or not at all.

 

There is so many things in this world that is far more unbelievable than "paranormal" powers.

 

I see, on a regular basis, girls in Oslo, who dress up for friday night in miniskirts and high heels and go out in the freezing streets in a blizzard without ever - and I mean ever - getting sick. Now that is true magic. The training those girls go through to look good is beyond any taoist master. They start practicing in gradeschool and build their powers until menopause. Nietzsche said: I have never seen a woman who dress lightly, but feel beautiful become ill..."

I've seen that in Syracuse, NY in the middle of winter with wind chill that was 20 below in Fahrenheit(-22 Celsius???). Not so extreme with the miniskirt but they were wearing the half shirts with no shaking whatsoever, could have been somewhat alcohol fueled. After a while, I was wondering if it was MY PERCEPTION of reality that was screwed up and their's that was actually sound.

What's a taint?

My bad

It slang for the perineum. It's short for "T'ain't quite your balls, and T'ain't quite your asshole"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perineum

I'm not sure if this is it but I feel a vibration after squeezing my taint and everything in it's vicinity. The vibration moves up my spine, spreads to about three inches at the top of my head, and now I feel it go to what feels like the left side of my sternum and down to the stomach and it happens without meditation or breathing:blink:

Is there a way to slow it down so that it feels more pronounced?

 

 

As the day went on, the effects I felt (from the morning session only) progressed. Definately some of it was detox. Uncomfortable tension pain (not like injury pain), heat. But there was really, really interesting pleasurable stuff mixed in. I could feel that I'd really flexed my whole rib-cage, that my ribs - the bones - had received a gentle rhythmic flexing massage, and I was feeling new circulation. An hour or two goes by and I realize (feel) that my thoracic vertebrae (connected to ribs) also got a massage, and that there's new circulation in my sternum, front channel, ribs, and thoracic section of my spine. A few more hours go by, and I feel my whole rib-cage pulsing along with my whole spine! The whole thing, top to bottom, along with the rib-cage, like the ribs and spine are one thing, doin' this happy slow jig together! There was definately discomfort present along through the whole process, partly release of heat, so I drank a lot of water throughout the day, ate fruit, and went swimming in the evening. Slept well, felt really good the next day.

 

Thanks! to that rude a###### Plato for the blog posts.

I looked through one of my books, "Secrets the Gurus will never Show You" from umaatantra.com.

It implies that stress is stored in the solar plexus. I tried the belly breathing/buddhist breathing at night, the following morning I thought that I was having some sort of heart attack or anxiety attack (without the anxiety). It lasted for a little less than a minute. I was thinking "WTF?" while it was going on. I stood quietly because I really hate feeding shit like that more energy than it deserves.

Miyamoto Musashi, the sword saint of Japan, did it without a teacher.

I think that I'm going to do it without a teacher too. It's kind of distracting when I have to pay attention to a guided meditation CD (so I don't think that it'll help me to actually have somebody in the flesh guiding me), and trying to pay attention to my own body and breathing at the same time.

I'll end up doing trial runs and taking notes in order to internalize so that I can go full speed and see where it goes.

I looked at Plato's page and I just decided that I'm not working anywhere near hard enough to become a dirty old man when I grow up

I am donating LKL and GKL Chia tapes to the library. If you do not know the prerequisites or more accurately have not practiced them, please do not borrow these until you are ready. These formulas are effective and are to be practiced in sequence. Please have respect for the system, if you don't it won't work or you will be handed something you are not even close to being ready for - no joke.

After reading "Path Notes of an American Ninja Master" I believe that

Do you know how to get there by public transport from Manhattan?

Should be fairly close to the D or M train.

Vitamin B6 and Melatonin will do this. I've often gone straight into a lucid dream after taking melatonin.

 

Also regarding your question on energy. The Castaneda material references the need for Jing in order to have lucid dreams.

T

I never had a problem with melatonin. I can almost fall asleep at will if I cover my head and eyes when lying down, even when I am not tired.

I took note of a few comments on these forums about CoQ10 and about receeding gums. I bought some at the vitamin shoppe at East 86th Street along with vitamin E. I've also changed from drinking coffee to mixing swiss miss with powdered cocoa that hasn't been "dutched".

Everything is better it seems, but I hope I don't get "too well" to the point where it seems like returning to my puberty and early 20s (I'm going to be 33 next month), practically being a "walking hardon" 24/7

There is hardly enough blood to support both sides of the brain (especially wearing a size 7 1/2 hat that sometimes feels tight) but supporting another active brain (in the pants) is close to impossible

For as much as a lot of people make David Shen to seem extreme, I have to admire him for his emotional stability because if I was at peak and had MSB for a week (in a low stress situation) I would end up in jail for murder.

To have lucid dreams:

1. Get a notebook and a pen, put them beside your bed.

2. Every morning write down what you can remember about your dreams.

3. A few times everyday say to yourself "Am I dreaming?"

4. Repeat 2 & 3 until you wake up in a dream. It should not take more than a few weeks.

 

The longer you practice this the easier they become. If you stop practicing the ability to have these dreams will fall off.

How much more energy?

I'm a walking bull's eye in my dreams more often than not and it seems like I'm always walking around like if I was hit by a Mack Truck...a really big downgrade from being able to fly around...slowly, but being able to fly.

My dreams have gotten wierder and wierder since I've added a lot of anti-oxidant supplements. My imagination is not fertile enough to create 7 foot tall, four foot wide lizards and caricatures of people that have two foot noses and feet that are just as big

"second, if they were just treated, they are probably in all sorts of weird states..some people really need to sleep after a treatment."

I didn't know that the treatment was that radical

"There is a theme here I have seen before.

Does a "Master" deserve to charge what the market will bear to make a living?

Should Robert Peng dress in sackcloth and charge by donation only?

I think not.

On the other hand, is Robert Peng the man who will finally answer all our questions about Chi , the universe and everything?

I think not.

But...

He is accomplished by reputation. And seems to be able to deliver what he promises in the treatment room.

Next question - Is he a good teacher? i.e. can he transmit what he knows?

This is an entirely seperate question.

My hard style MA teacher would often say, "just because you are a good fighter doesn't say at all whether you are or can be a good teacher." I think this applies equally well to this arena as well.

Not all accomplished people are interested in teaching, or are necessarily good at it.

Craig"

I went to pick up some CDs from his office. He is a very nice guy. On the way up to the fourth floor, a rather tall lady came out his office,I stepped aside because I thought that she was going to walk into me, I said "hi" and she didn't respond. I went into the waiting area waited for a while. A lady came in, she was a real sweetheart, she made the trip up to his office worth it:)

After a while, the guy that Master Peng was treating came out. I said "have a nice day", he didn't respond either.

I felt bad for Master Peng because for the people that he was dealing with...I would probably pay $200 an hour just to have them stay away from me. I wouldn't blame him if he ever lost his cool and uses "the force" for "martial" purposes. The guy has the patience of a saint.

There's another reality we can tap into that's unaffected by our emotions, by our everyday world.

I believe this on account of the work done by William James and Boris Sidis, and the results of William James Sidis. The deaths of Boris Sidis and William James Sidis, both cerebral hemorrhages, convinced me that chi kung and yoga are a reality and that the downward flow of chi to the dantien are essential and life-preserving.

I haven't felt this completely yet and I've felt just parts of this.

One time with vibrations dissipating in the middle of my back, and one time with absolutely no feeling in my back and somehow the vibrations reached the front of my forehead.

I'm trying to increase my body awareness right now. For the exception of Da Mo's Cave(which I haven't done yet), I'm going try to keep visualization to a minimum. I don't really want to get stuck visualizing all of the time, if I do then I start having speech problems.

I've been stuck on the inner smile for a couple of weeks, I finally got that fixed:)

My body has been trying to tell me to fix myself by polishing the mirror or polishing the soul, I have to figure out how to do that without being antipathetic or apathetic every time I walk out the door of my apartment. Somebody out there sent some good chi and I think that I'm starting to move in the right direction.
