    Thank you so much for all of this advice Sifu Terry. I've tried a few suggestions so far ( long form med standing vol 4 followed by all Dvd 5. Tonight I tried 3 Seated MSW in a row) and I can definately feel that spending more time is key. I just have to do it! Eventually I do plan on contacting you for a private session. Many thanks again

    Sifu Terry, I wonder if I'm doing enough practice to benefit from the practice? For two years I did the seated and standing beginner meditations dvd's 1,2 and 3 . Usually twice a day for 30 minutes or either 2 sitting or 2 standing or all 4 together or spread out throughout day. Maybe 3-5x/week. Once I memorized the standing long meditation dvd 4 that's pretty much all I do now with 1or 2 of the advanced seated meditations which I cycle through. So my practice can take maybe 15-40 minutes depending if I just do the standing long form alone or if I add on extras. After a while I stopped feeling quite so much bliss or spontaneous movements. Recently I added the first 2 of the standing 90 second meditations and do them before the long form standing or seated advanced meds and I feel it adds extra energy back and I go deeper and feel very relaxed. The standing 90 second meds themselves don't really feel like much at the time but I find they really heighten whatever I do afterwards.Because my home is rarely empty, I find I practice maybe 3-4x/week. Is this enough? I,ve never seen a blue light, all I feel is lots of energy waves and peacefulness. nothing esoteric at all! Another question is how should we integrate the standing flash meditations-is it good to do 1, 2 or more ? Can they be done alone if we lack time to do anything else? And is it necessary to go back and do beginner meditations again? i really enjoy the movements of the long form I confess and don't enjoy the static standing postures so much in the first dvd. Many thanks for your help in answering all these questions.
  3. Hello

    Hi there, Glad to be here. I've been enjoying and following this site for a few years now and finally decided to join. I've always been interested in the eastern wisdom traditions ever since I can remember. I dabbled in yoga for some years and was inspired to travel through India for a while seeking teachings. I discovered the Thai Forest meditation tradition when I got back home. I've also been drawn to Qi-gong, Taoism and Tai-Chi and would love to study these more in-depth. So this site has been so helpful in pointing me in certain directions. Thank you!
