I rely almost exclusively on love at first site to get laid. It seems to happen all the time. If the initial attraction is there then seduction is a natural process that both partners take part in. There is a flow to the whole thing that you have to follow, but its really not that hard. Like most areas of life it helps to have an open heart (other chakras play a role too) If you have to brainwash women to get laid then your doing it wrong IMO.

Have you ever heard about all the trouble the tantric gurus that migrated to the west have gotten into for sleeping with many of their students. Or what about Timothy Leary. He was one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet and has had sex with college age women all the time. What about the taoist celestial knights, who wrote the book on way of love making, health, and long life. All of these people spiritual, nice and everything like that. They light up a room when they walked in. They radiated peace, inner light and charisma. You just have to take your time, follow the way, and love freely. Most women have expressed appreciation for my ability to "finish last"

You've gotta love the gaian mind Ive always found native american, celtic, and taoist practices harmonize well. I think that one of the reasons for this must be their closeness to the gaian mind. Observing nature very carefully will usually yield an outlook similar to the nature paths.

time seems to slow down as you refine your awareness. This is part of why kung fu masters are difficult to fight. On a different note when you are really meditating you will not notice the passage of time. I dont time my meditations any more. I sip a cup of yerba mate during my meditation. It almost always takes me an hour to drink a cup of mate this way. When i am finished i will say to myself "I would meditate more but I've already emptied my cup." I sometimes prolong the last few drinks so i can finish up whatever im practicing. I usually drink several cups of tea and mate per day. Time flows differently between dimensions. Spirit travel will yield time warps.

The tao works in mysterious ways.

This thread makes me want to watch Austin Powers International Man of Mystery.

Would anyone who has practiced this long term like to fly over and tell us what expect from this practice? I bet i can get high this way.

Shiva has never steered me wrong before. I was checking the homeopathc sulfur tablets at the local whole foods. What do you all think of the sulfur suggestion?

Has anyone read This book by wayne dyer. Change your Thoughts, Change your life on amazon Ive always liked Dyers approach to spirituality. This is an audiobook that is on my list at the moment. Ive listened to it before, but reliving the tao te ching never hurt anyone. His approach to taoist meditation consists of using the word tao as a mantra. Im not quite sure what to think about this. Thomas Cleary is my definitive translation, but I like diversity.

I just happen to be sitting on one of the energy centers. Hot springs arkansas quarts crystal capitol of america

stretching or yoga are great ways to get the channels uncloged. My channels are somewhat clogged when i wake up in the morning. I do some neigong and rotations to shake them out. At a retreat a person can unclog the big knots that have been holding them back in their energetic development. Its like exercise. Its really hard at first then it gets easier and more effective.

If i feel sleepy in meditation i usually take the opportunity to drift into a trance.

So i was meditating to day and i came to a place that i like to call the plane of infinite awareness. This place allowed me to form psychic connections with lineage gurus and protective spirits. It uses a similar process to the vision screen technique mentioned a while back on this forum. In fact if you look at it that way its sort of a hyperspace video conference. I have heard legends of ninjas, shamans and other brands of sorcerer who use this plane to communicate with each other. Im wondering if any taobums can use the vision screen / astral project here. If so would anyone like to make an attempt to communicate over long distances using this technique? Im a relative beginner so be patient with me.

dude, your flowing down the same stream of thought I was in a few years back. It was when i was using skills in kundalini reiki to begin gathering heaven and earth qi. How often do you meditate?

An advanced practitioner can do it in a few breaths. You should be able to trust your intuition to see how long it takes you. In my experience when i energize a part of my body it sot of lights up. There is usually tingleing, hot or cold, colors, pulses, and vortexes. Its very subtle. almost like a dream.

yup yup

This process i am describing of opening the energy gates (the wheels) is a part of taichi, kung fu, yoga, shiatsu, qigong, aikido, and tantra. Ive seen some old journals of leonardo davinci that indicated that the renaissance artists had some knowledge of this too. Through self study i came to my own understanding of the processes involved. I have been presented through the mediums of nlp and hypnosis that the unconscious mind is the body. I see the mind as the complex system of nerves throughout the body. Some taoist traditions talk about using the dantiens to think with. By practicing things like yoga you are actually preparing your body-mind for an increased influx of spiritual energy. The way i facilitate my spiritual growth is through inner alchemy. I supplement the process through qigong, yoga, taichi, organic foods, essential oils, hypnosis, herbs ect.. By making the body mind healthy awareness is rejuvinated. The body carries around a lot of tension (prebirth karma, birthing pains, growing pains, socialization, childhood trauma, ect). This tension prevents us from using the full capacity of the nervous system. The first step of becoming aware of the wheels is developing flexibility and deep relaxation. The deeper you relax the more karma you let go of. I usually feel my vertabrae slip into alignment when i do it right. The 7 primary chakras are the first wheels that people work with. This balances the 5 elements of the being and prepares for the process of alchemy (the birth and maturation of the spirit) When i relax a wheel it begins spinning naturally. I was only out of harmony because i was trying too hard. I am certainly inclined to blame this on dualistic conditioning. Balancing the wheels is just part of letting go of your deep layers of dualistic conditioning. The benefits are an increased capacity for spiritual awareness, healing energy, and vitality. I actually took the term "stopping the wheels of karma" out of a tantric text. Shiatsu massage has great techniques for working with the meridians and the wheels. namaste

Fantastic article. I always saw the devil as the pagan alternative to the sun god.

The wheels in the subconscious mind normally turn according to a force called karma, which determines your fate. Through qigong and yoga one can become aware of the movement of these wheels. The bigger ones are the chakras. and orbits. the smaller ones are the energy points along the many meridians of the body. The wheels even extend beyond the body through the auric field and to a cosmic level. By observing the body a person can become aware of these wheels that are multilayered and ubiquitus throughout the body. Now when a person is ready to take her life off of autopilot the wheels stop spinning according to personal karma (the ego) and as an extension of divine intelligence/ cosmic karma. The ego stops spinning the wheels and the individuals wheels align with the spinning of the rest of the universe. So you could say that you give up your monkey-mind karma for greater alignment with cosmic karma. In my experience, the wheels in the body stop momentarily then readjust themselves into alignment, then begin spinning again. The moment when the wheels stop is a turning point, not a suspension of the laws of physics. In conclusion, the wheels of karma are cosmic forces, chakras, and a system of circular axis throughout the body. They are subject to being in a state of harmony with universal cycles, and in disharmony when they spin unconsciously. To slow reset your wheels quiet the mind and use deep full body relaxation. Then try and feel the many wheels/spirals in the body. I began working with the primary chakras. Yoga is a great practice for getting your body ready for this level of awareness

Ive been meeting some fractal dragons lately Lots of birds too

When i was a child ive had dreams of spirit guides. I had very visual and elaborate daydreams when i was younger too. I think as the wheels of karma slow down and eventually stop our psyches become stronger and capable of surviving in the dream world. Its sort of like learning to breath underwater. I havent heard of ingo swann but ill look him up. thanks

This began for me during the process of the fusion of the 5 elements. After that psychic and spiritual symbols began flooding my dream experience. The lucidity has slowly increased since that time.
