Hi all, I am learning Moonbeam Splashes on Water and need some clarification. 1. How many times extended arms in front of body goes down and up (in DVD with voice it says 2.5 cycle: down up, down up, down, and in demonstration www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWJsEElHygQ at 1:30 its 1.5 cycle). 2. After presses and pushes. When swinging arms left and then right: does head need to follow right hand till the end like in youtube video at 4:03, or stop just facing forward at left hand like in DVD with voice. Thank you.

Thank you, I'm better and slowly healing. Yes, that's right. And you need act and speak carefully in such hospitals, cause sometimes doctors easily increase doses or put on strong drugs for minor reasons. Sorry for off-topic, you discuss here psychedelics and its effect on spiritual progress and next life. I'm curious about psychiatric drug effects on these topics.

Well, it was nervous breakdown. I felt pulsating in stomach region, it felt very draining, tiresome, also because of that i couldn't focus, calm down or rest. But it was clearly nervous system issue, cause after taking sedative it all disappeared. In such state I dramatized things. So I told psychiatrist, i felt like loosing energy in my stomach. Very bad idea. Also, in hospital early in the morning i would do some exercises, because after taking these suppressing drugs, i couldn't do much only fight suppression inside. And during visitation the doctor would see me tired (a bit from exercises but mostly from suppression effect) and "u seem sad, without mood, i think we need increase medication". I would argue, i don't need more, but count of pills was increasing anyway. This place was full of madness, and I'm not talking about patients there.

I had nervous breakdown. There was outer and inner conditions that caused it. I felt unrest/quivering in mys stomach region. Psychiatrist sent me psychiatric hospital. There quivering disappeared after "default" sedative drug they gave before sleep. Next day doctor asked many questions about childhood, current conditions etc. And just said, that they starting "treatment" on me. No explanation what diagnosis they are treating, nor what kind of drugs are they going to give. After couple days, they send me to psychologist for some tests, and result was "she found nothing bad". These drugs had suppressing affect. All day my nervous system was fighting that suppressing, and i complained about that, to which doctor replied, that i am getting "childish" doses. Tried to hide some drugs instead taking them, but got noticed. That only resulted in pressure every time i was taking these "good helpful" drugs, "your blood circulation in brain is messed up, you need them", etc. Only later i found out it was mix of anti-depressants, anti-psychotics, and some for side affects these may cause. So why did i start, taking them? I was forced: no explanations, pressure and lies. I just didn't want this nervous breakdown reaper, but these drugs got me in condition far much worse and dangerous and painful.

Psychiatric medications almost killed me. They destroyed my mental and physical health, made me very suicidal for long period. Also quitting them was agony, i prayed for death many months. There is post here in healing circle where i was begging for help. For me its hard to imagine they can be heal, maybe not helpful at best.

What is default rotation direction for you? Mine is clockwise. If i turn my head away from screen to the right (about 45 degrees) and look at picture from that position, after 10-15 seconds i can see it rotating counterclockwise. If i remember correctly from the site i downloaded it, it said that some people can see change of direction every half (or maybe full) circle.

Can u make it rotate to other direction?

Atishoo

Hello, I want to share some experience while doing Zhan Zhuang(holding ball in front of chest) and would like to hear your thoughts what was going on. In the morning while practising, my left leg felt somehow strange(dislodged, in misalignment), then body did some violent moves (twisting and leaning to the left) after that somehow left leg felt integrated and body relaxed. But this afternoon during practice i felt that during breathing in energy raising up from the bottom of right leg upto the right side of head, and during breathing out like going down from left side of the head to the bottom of the left leg( or rather i would say it was my body pulling enegy up and down). Never had idea of such circular rotation, or ever tried doing anything like that (only tried some microcosmic orbit). I practise Zhang Zhuang and Ba Duan Jin (learned from book The Way of energy) and Five Tibetan Rites. Didn't felt any pain, was feeling quite good. Probably i should continue practising, making no big deal about such experience?

Thank you all for answers, i practised for two days and nothing similar to previous experience happened. Just curious, is there any practice where you "breath in" through your right leg and "breath out" through your left one, in circle. I know moving energy through channels is somewhat dangerous, and should be attempted only on supervision on teacher. So only curious :).

i guess they would need to form very very long slow moving line, and look at the pimple one by one. It would take almost 14 years if each of them took 3 seconds for looking. sorry, its not a good think to make joke on such stuff, but i couldn't help myself.

I've been on anti-depresants and anti-psychotics. Please, don't ever consider taking these drugs and do everything to prevent others. I pray that this madness somehow stop.

I'm male 38 years old from Lithuania. I have been porn addict for many years. Damage from this was really scary. I found Buddhism teachings, meditation, started exercising, doing zhan zhuang. For some years i was porn free, and physical health restored. But then i had nervous breakdown, and was put on psychiatric drugs. These drugs totally destroyed nervous system, physical health and caused depression and suicidal psychosis . Also some drug switch caused frequent strong sexual urges, and since i had almost none mental strength, i was back on porn. Life was getting worse fast, until somehow survival instinct kicked in, and i dropped both porn and drugs. Withdrawal gave me experiences that was really bad and damaging, worse than i had when i was on drugs. It was real struggle. Now i am 10 month of the drugs, and for couple month i feel actually recovering and stabilizing a little. Buddhism teachings and meditation (also wuji qigong) helped me live through hard times. I found useful information here. Thank you.
