  4. Chen Tai Chi : How To Learn

  7. Proper technique for Ping Shuai Gong. There are so many testemonies of this simple qigong healing all sorts of diseases...
  8. Which approach would you use in trying to convince an elderly ill person to start doing something for his wellbeing? The hatha-yoga or the qigong video? I practice both but very much feel that hatha-yoga is safe-cracking compared to tai chi and qigong. The subtle ways the Chinese find to achieve their goals fascinates me.

    https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=21Rwj9sPBTc Dark Night Of The Soul The Dark Night of the Soul St John Of the Cross On a dark night, Kindled in love with yearnings–oh, happy chance!– I went forth without being observed, My house being now at rest. In darkness and secure, By the secret ladder, disguised–oh, happy chance!– In darkness and in concealment, My house being now at rest. In the happy night, In secret, when none saw me, Nor I beheld aught, Without light or guide, save that which burned in my heart. This light guided me More surely than the light of noonday To the place where he (well I knew who!) was awaiting me– A place where none appeared. Oh, night that guided me, Oh, night more lovely than the dawn, Oh, night that joined Beloved with lover, Lover transformed in the Beloved! Upon my flowery breast, Kept wholly for himself alone, There he stayed sleeping, and I caressed him, And the fanning of the cedars made a breeze. The breeze blew from the turret As I parted his locks; With his gentle hand he wounded my neck And caused all my senses to be suspended. I remained, lost in oblivion; My face I reclined on the Beloved. All ceased and I abandoned myself, Leaving my cares forgotten among the lilies.

    Alex told me he learned it reading spiderman comics! Anyway, the quote was supposed to serve as a simple homage to Stan Lee's passage through planeta Earth. May he rest in peace.

    Thank you for your answer and patience. There is plenty in it.
  15. A neigong joke

    That joke sounded a bit like that same neigong book they put on sale every year with a new cover and a new title and a new author.
  16. Dark Night of the Soul

    Do you think true initiation is possible without this? Is there any learning at all without going through this process? Thanks for the topic Spotless.
