WOOHOO! Happy Birthday Ian! ... It lasts for a few weeks right? Not to late in sending you wishes right!?! I Send You Starloads!!! Been a joy to meet you on the web, man! Hope your having a great one! Have fun! Shon

interested smile. ... that's a good friend by the way to be willing to sit and be filmed questions? 1. how do you experience the energy yourself at that moment? With in them, within you? Do you feel it enter, do you catch "feed back", depth that it goes or anything, texture? 2. Do your own hands show anything after doing a projection like that? If it's a "prolonged" projection any difference ? ...asking because i end up with inside out burns/blisters and am unsure about a bunch of stuff : ) and it ... kinda can freak me out a little. Afraid to burn someone else ... very much so actually. Thanks for any feedback, appreciate it. Have lots more questions for you but will leave it at this for now! Thank you for being willing to share that. Stay well, Shon

LOL it's about as dangerous as a kitten. A sleeping kitten. ... shoved up ones nose sideways! Anything done without (at times with) awareness can be "dangerous" Energy stuff is no different...think of electricity have a child go play with an outlet. Hopefully there is an "adult" to steer them away from such potentially "dangerous" behavior? If one is playing with thing one doesn't understand it is better to have a "teacher" or at least a good friend one can bounce things off of. Here's some M80's! Go play kids! Have fun! Shon Don't forget the matches! wish i could give you a window for you to see some of the shit i see folks messing with daily and the effects these things can have. Lots are long term. Some quick fixes. Not many around willing to speak of the other side of balance,lol.It sure doesn't sell yoga mats! or Chakra pendants! or workshops with your favorite master on an old persons cruise! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Accepted/acknowledged "Facts" aren't always truth. Stay present stay aware Bliss yourself out to kingdom come but don't forget to keep your feet on the ground! * This isn't directed at anyone individually easy enough to research this stuff Shoot just look up the effects of kundalini : )

the best melody. The song of the sleeping stars. Rest easy now, friend. (Shhhhh : ) such a soft sound!)

You've got some great advice here, Pranaman ! As a real book lover, it's so hard ... but I have to agree with what's been said already! You can take any move and break it down. Further and further and even further. and "hold" it, feel(learn) the alignments, the places and spaces your joints are opened and closed, If you only chose to hold postures you will experiences things that could never be written! ... things there are No words to describe(though we still try to,LOL!)! Wether you study anatomy and physiology, acupuncture, energetic anatomy, or trees! Makes no difference. This is stuff I think, you Want to Experience for yourself A Trick. Always ask questions. then more questions and even more questions! Don't believe anything on blind faith ... even from yourself,lol! Not to be disrespectful of a teacher or anyone, but listen and investigate. Remain curious always!!! Working with others is KEY. Once you think you have a posture down, have someone who will test it on you. An easy way is to have a person push gently on you as you hold a pose. If it collapses, figure out why. Try again. Don't use "brute" force. If the structure is correct it should hold. If it collapses try opening other joints or putting the tai chi principals into action. Or try not to put them into action and see what happens! If you can find someone to practice with outside of class, I'd highly recommend it! Then if you think you are pretty close and ask a teacher to test it even better! and above all else have fun with it. U learn more and are happier to continue on if it's something you enjoy. Good luck, Stay well! Shon Did you find a staff?

in dark chocolate hippos run, and play, and swim! No need to dip them!

The taste of apples. Far better than the taste of hippopotamus.

No offense adam! can tell it's enjoyed & loved! Looks like you do have fun. Don't think i've seen Huang tai chi before? Though have seen folks that had studied with CMC but not much, at that. Thanks! Shon AWWwDamnmyalighnmentssuck. Very cool Mouse, good to see! thanks!

Would say he ...Had a girl friend who was into it, his reason for studying it all, and she probably raked him over the coals! ... poor boy, now we're all evil needle hurling debil worships! I would have said clearly to myself that this was his issue and not mine and closed down the conversation as quickly as possible. If the experience left me with an after taste then I would have worked on that in myself to see what inconsistency or conflict his behaviour had resonated within me. Or if I had a life to live, just waited for the natural process of assimilation to complete - life has its knocks I'm afraid they just have to be suffered sometimes. Lot's of good life advice here from all! Thanks! Shon

Just slow drip of time Goes on and on and on and on, Man. What's this sleep system? (am interested Stig? Have you seen good results with it with FMS folks? ...don't tend to go past the dream state? Forget what it's called! ...no real deep sleep, not often. am interested! Thanks!)

Hello Mona! Hop you have fun here! Haven't read much of his stuff but I do like listening to him : ) Stay well! Shon

Hi! Yes, am interested! Sorry? don't know your videos yet? What style do you enjoy? Have fun! Shon

Hey!!! Your a grumpy old man!!! We Need Some Of those!!! Are you really a grumpy old man? or am i just misreading the noises ?!? Enjoy the tea!

No Tea!?! LOL, That's ok! Hope you have fun here! Stay well, Shonton Ga

: ) Hi Just got a chance to go over this thread again ... on such a topic ... you all write with such heart. Thank you for that. Have actually tried to answer questions or to post here for a few days in a row... but no words seem to come out right. LOL, was actually the reason i joined tb's, i think? Wanted to use the journal section. Thought it would be nice and anonymous! Was havig a hard time with some of the stuff experienced, takes a toll on this child sometimes. Was um? Looking for a fight, i think, at the time Looking for someone to tell me just how whacked i was. Hear some unbiased opinions from folks that could care less and didn't know me. Thought it would be a good exercise? Lol, Did Not expect to start really enjoying the folks here the way I do! Forming more attachments ! Have some stuff in the journal section but it's written to be a little vague. Will put more stuff up in time, maybe. Life has just been hectic and crazy, no time to write much lately. If I can answer any questions am glad to, as best I can, hard stuff for me to talk openly about. Weird stuff. Eaiser to talk about in person! Thank you all, again, for writing with such heart. Such conciousness. It is a hard subject. but important to share stories also. Thank you for that. Stay well, Shon * Edited For WAY, FAR TO MUCH Information! Sorry about that!... u asked for examples, hard to share, to near to home, ... so shared techniques instead. My own powers of avoidance! Hope the answers made some sense though.

OOoYour classes sound like fun! Don't know what would be considered Yiquan push hands but would love to try it! Yiquan would be a great foundation to work upon : ) Have fun and do play with before you buy! Cheap things u can find in hardware stores or in the yard(someone's yard:) ! ) make great staves! Have used rake handles, curtain dowels, copper tubing(Very light!...not so cheep any more!), Rebarb(Ouch.)! Each one a different effect/feel! Stay well!

lustrous sphere of light? chased be dragons and phoenix but held by mermaids ? old order Aquarian?

LOL, Great! Only hit myself real hard once with the staff I'm using now. Cracked myself in the elbow, echoed off all the building around the parking lot in the place i practice. Was surprised it didn't set off all the car alarms around me! ... got distracted by someone near a dumpster and lost the focus ... momentarily! Was brought back REAL Fast, LOL! Not sure on the weight? Thinking about the same as a bag of apples ...maybe mackintoshes? ... elongated? The one I use now is red cedar (supposably?) Though, even the same material, same shape/size will have a different weight and feel. My last Staff was very heavy when I first got it but over time got very light. Would love to say it's because I got So Flipping strong! but am far from buff, LOL. It was green wood when i got it and over time it dried out . A lot! also got crooked and lost all the lacer from the "sap" ... I loved that staff by the way : ( it's gone now. miss it. To see how it feels in your own hands ... lot to be said for that. Do they teach any staff forms t the school you go to? Stay well Pranaman!
