Hi Z3N! "A fact is a fact weather you like to belive it or not." ~ z3n In a nut shell ... Is a nut ! I've seen them and sometimes a worm ?! ... I've seen them ,too which could lead to the cocoon thing in a long round about way ? In truth though, "With the art of forgetting frontal lobe murder and being in the moment of these happening."~ Z3N this child here don't disagree but only questions, Why the word forgetting is being used here not witnessing ? seems forgetting has already taken one out of the moment? to forget one must first remember. The future is not to be remembered, Zee. ("Probable" futures don't count for the Psychics out there!) nor is the present moment. to truly be present in the moment one's only option is to experience/witness the moment. Other points may get questioned but will let this sleeping wolf sleep for now. rest easy. Shonton Ga Know this is known But sometimes those nut shells are totally empty? (edited 4 spellin')

Hi KoHsuan, was long ago! : ) this memory is so Shot! was vegetarian ... sculpting ... practicing lots of yoga ... ? eating lots of green slimy things also was doing lodges regularly then. So Diet was Much Better than Now, LOL. Basically "energies" were felt stronger during that time, three days to either side of the full moon. Energies of what? the moon, the emotions,what's felt within and around one so meditation, intent, some healing work would be done then. full moon lodges are Great! Momentum from moon would kick it into over drive! Fasting was to be done 3 days to either side/during full moon. days farther from the full moon would be gentler, not as forceful . Always was suggested when beginning that kind of practice to do it then. the nearer to the full moon the Stronger things would be. be it meditation, release(toxins/emotions/etc.),intentions, some healing. what kind of fast? there are so many kinds. Some folks will say, this is the one, U do this ... Always listen to your own body! Some do fruit fasts, some liquid, some dry. I tend towards liquid, this body of mine can be a lot of trouble and liquid works well for me. Liquid not meaning only water(though lots of water!) but also vegetable broths or juice watered down so not to sweet. Would take tree days of eating raw/steamed vegetables and stuff to start or finish a fast for me. U don't wanta go and binge on chocolate sundays with (Single!)whip cream when starting or finishing, better to eat healthy! won't make you so sick!LOL. Others on here would be much better suited to talk about such stuff. I've always been a haphazard student at best! Moon has always had a very strong effect on me. When i was a child would not sleep for the week of a full moon. Can still fall into those patterns easily. Hope others with more knowledge will share My thinking these days is chocolate cake fasts are the way to go! Good Fer What Ails Ya! thanks for any other input here! LOl Stay well! Shon

that's how we always used to do different kinds of fasting 3 before and after for the same reasons was always interesting... definitely influenced the meditations, too.

Hi Emily ! That's how tai chi walking started, you know. All these "masters" sittin' around shootin' the breeze, all hungry, and thirsty, and tired, and stuff. One of them finely gave in, he decided the others were a bunch of lazy old men and went to go get a pizza and some birch beer. He found all the cerculation was cut off in his legs ... and elsewhere. and all he could do was scuffle around! Dude! The other "masters" tried to get up and walk, It was all they could do to keep from tipping over on each other! They were all laughing and pushin'! It was the Funniest thing you ever saw!!! Man! But you know all the young bucks wanted to be just like them, right? When they asked the "masters" what was up, They were of course told "It's training." So for generations "masters", i.e. students of other "masters", for part of their Training would have to sit for 40 days and nights. Hungry,Tired,Thirsty,Smelly...and then have to go pick up the pizza. talk about "HAZING" ... DUDE! PS. Facts may have been lost or blurred in translation. and i am no longer allowed to tell my brothers kids stories ... so i joined this group! Hi, Hope You have fun! Shon! I'm going to get hit by lightning for that, hmm? PEACE!!! PEACE!!!

BAGUA! IT'S BEAUTIFUL! Spinning! Spirals within spirals within spirals!!! Fluid and solid and Fun!!! Love it! never got past very very beginning though. sprained an ankle (2 years or so, still bothers me) and forced myself to drop it I always have wanted to learn it and hope to return to it sometime! was studying it to better understand tai chi. Whatever style your interested in make sure when you practice you pay ATTENTION to yer body Your knees and alignments and all! and have fun! Shon Still will hold the poses stationary and (attempt) play with mud walking, great stuff! love the Speed! -
