Damo Mitchell Free MCO Course
EFreethought replied to forestofemptiness's topic in Daoist Discussion
So in other words: Is the ultimate answer to sit in meditation for a few hours every day for a few years? I read part of "Opening the Dragon Gate" recently, and it seems like that is what Wang Li Ping did to start out. -
Damo Mitchell Free MCO Course
EFreethought replied to forestofemptiness's topic in Daoist Discussion
@Shadow_self: Why do you prefer Damo over Brine? @freeform: Why the reservations with Wang Li Ping? -
What are some exercises that work at the tendon/bone level?

Taoist Meditation and Nei-Gong Course - Free Right Now!
EFreethought replied to Beijaflor's topic in Daoist Discussion
Not to sound like a jerk, but: The site says the head instructor is a "Christian mystic". Why study Daoism from a Christian mystic? -
Not to be flip, but don't most books about Tibet deal with magic and reincarnation?

Starjumper7 used to post here a lot. I think he got kicked off of here. Then for a while he seemed to be posting at originaldao.com. I don't know if he started that site or just posted a lot there. So it's the third forum for him.

I haven't looked it over either, but it looks like there are a lot of posts by starjumper7. I guess he started a third forum.

Feedback about 小梦想's neigong seminar?
EFreethought replied to Earl Grey's topic in General Discussion
I don't have a computer with a camera on it. I think I will get a tablet in the next few weeks and do the seminars next year. -

Reading through this thread, I get the impression that if you do this mantra for a while it's good for you. But every time you start up again it seems to cause you a lot of discomfort at first. Why do you stop? Why not just keep going? And does restarting Chundi ever get easier for anyone?

I am also interested in this.

About a decade ago, I repeated this (mentally) while meditating. I was unemployed, and after a few weeks of NMRK, I got a job. Coincidence? Perhaps..... I am also on the mailing list for Sanskrit Mantras, run by Thomas Ashley-Farrand's widow. She said that NMRK is good for clearing the 2nd chakra, but it not a good all-purpose mantra.

Maybe you covered this: But will this be a one-time only event? Or do you plan on doing this a few times a year?

My experience with Jiang Yu Shan (Hisham al-Haroun)
EFreethought replied to Nuralshamal's topic in Systems and Teachers of
"The Grand Circle" says that it is "advanced qigong". Did you jump right into that course, or did you do "Health & Fighting Qigong" first? -
You mention that some in-person teaching would be necessary at some point. How would this work? Would I go to you, or vice versa? And where are you located? Would you schedule a group of people to come to you to save costs, like a "Neigon-Con"? Also: This does interest me. I started a qigong practice here in Austin, TX a couple of years ago. I would like to go for perhaps another year before trying an additional practice.

My experience with Jiang Yu Shan (Hisham al-Haroun)

@Nuralshamal Thanks for the response. How did you learn these styles of qigong? Did you do then online, DVD, in-person? -

@Nuralshamal How many qigong styles have you worked with and for how long? You seem to be posting a lot of these review-type posts lately. -
Mantak chia's possible error mco, i need help, please
EFreethought replied to Capeador1's topic in Daoist Discussion
What are some "derivatives" of Chia's work? Are there any instructors who were taught by him who are well-known? -
One more thing: I should point out that I don't actually chant a mantra. I just repeat it mentally, using that instead of watching my breath. I usually have a hard time just watching my breath without controlling it.

the last time I did it I was unemployed, and then I got a job. Maybe it is a coincidence. Now I need a new job. Perhaps I will try one of the "abundance" mantras in Thomas Ashley-Farrand's books.

Lately I have been using it. I am trying to meditate more often. I started using mantras to help motivate me to stick with it. I have a rough guess of how many I can do in a minute and keep track of how many repetitions I have done. Now I am on day 200 of meditating ever day. I started "nam myoho renge kyo" about 50 days ago. "Nam myoho renge kyo" hasn't seemed to have much of an effect on me. I plan on doing it until I get to about 125,000, then going to another one. I tried "om vajarapani hum" for a few days, and I did feel different.

It's called "imprecatory prayer". It's a thing amongst the wingnut crowd. Google "imprecatory prayer Obama" for a few samples.

For some reason, the formatting in my reply to Paradoxal was messed up. To repeat: How do you contact these beings? Do you do it through some form of meditation/astral projection? Or does it happen spontaneously? Or some combination?
