  1. Feeling powerless and low

    Sending you an heartfelt hug Manitou. No words would do better at this time I feel.
  2. Bed and Body Vibrations during sleep.

    Sleep paralysis and the sensation of the whole body vibrating (in fact it is the etheric body that is vibrating) happen just before astral projection.

  7. Yijing for Idiots

    Well aware of the dedication and energy required in studying sacred literatute I want to ask if someone can point me out to some source of summarized information about the inerant phylosophy of the book. Something that would help me understand how Yijing students see the universe and behave according to the teachings of the book in daily life.
  8. mystical poetry thread

    I always wanted to go to East Cliff, more years than I can remember, until today I just grabbed a vine and started up. Halfway up wind and a heavy mist closed in, and the narrow path tugged at my shirt: it was hard to get on. The slickery mud under the moss on the rocks gave way, and I couldn’t keep going. So here I stay, under this cinnamon tree, white clouds for my pillow, I’ll just take a nap. Han Shan

  15. I'm pretty sure most of you found out very interesting stuff based on your own practice healthwise. I'm not much interested in diets or ingestion of herbs, that would be another interesting thread, or in things that you didn't experience yourselves. I'm going to give you two simple examples of things that I found out by accident and relate to my practices. 1. Nauli stops diarrhea immediately. 2. Unwanting to take any medication I've had to live with the burden of a stomach ulcer for about one year. One day I woke up in the middle of the night with my stomach bursting with accute pain. Instinctively my body responded to that by swallowing a large amount of saliva that was being produced in the soft palate. The intense pain took about one minute to stop as I witnessed this amazed - the things our bodies know that we don't. Of course that I had heard of the benefits of the jade elixir before but that night I was completely convinced. These days anytime (rarely) my stomach gives me trouble I easely recognize the taste and density of that saliva being produced in my mouth and swallow it with the same results.
  16. Thanks for sharing the 6 healing sounds windwalker but the point of the thread is that you share something experienced by yourself. I'm pretty sure you can do better than this
  17. Tai chi so much physical pain it already relieved me of and I'm just a beginner student. Pretty sure it will help you circulate and integrate fresh in your system that disappointment energy.
  18. What does everyone practice :)

    Great article lifeforce. Thanks so much for sharing it with us.

    Don't know what your interpretation of idolatry is, mine is putting your hope, your energy, your "soul" in objects, those objects being something that lead you away from the source. Of course one needs people, wood, water, books etc, but psychologically if one hopes to find salvation or an ultimate answer in those one is very far from the right path. So let's say, I know how some books are very important to us but... that something that put those books in our path should be regarded as more important, right?
