Thanks for the effort to make this happen. We have a good Fire Horse In Maybe it isn't perfect but in any case it really reflect the spirit of 2026-2027 until the Fire Goat arrives. I also like how energy is depicted since the yellowish tone will set up the children years that mother Fire will create (Earth Monkey and Rooster, 2028 & 2029-2030). Happy Heart-Pericardium 2026.

Not a problem. One more thing: You need to learn from a reputable teacher. This is going to be a tricky part because you aren't just learning by repetition but by shared knowledge and deep experience. It's like the physical process of osmosis. Books and DVDs won't pass you that kind of learning, I'm afraid. Once again, good luck

Two because of the red colour. 2026 Year of the Red Horse, which is the official name used in Feng Shui.

Thanks for the link. One meaningful article written with common sense and Taoist science.

Likewise. Nothing comes close to it and this is what my Australian teacher told me in my first lesson before I even learnt how to walk the circle: The highest level of internal practice. He Jinghan told me in Taipei in 2005 the following: It deletes everything.

He missed the mark big time. He actually had no idea about how reality really works. The YY actually the two fundamental FORCES that stem from SPIRT and create the ENTIRE REALITY. But there is more to that: 1. Water force...sinks and rises 2. Wood force...expands 3. Fire force...peaks 4. Earth Force...harmonises, balances 5. Metal force...descends They are the FIVE DIMENSIONS of YY hence SPIRIT. Keep regulating these two systems YY & 5F and you'll have an understanding of EVERYTHING including the vague nirvana which imo is irrelevant and BEYOND. As you can see they are more than just energies, they are the building blocks of reality which in turn affect your entire consciousness as a human. To me this is the real deal, mess up with them and not only you'll live a miserable life but also will have a profound effect in your future life cycles. Someone who has achieved a perfect balance of YY and regulates the 5F can call themselves a truly awakened human.

Grounding as in keeping the Qi down and making sure Earth Qi is rising (digestive processes and to counter act Wood controlling the Earth ---> Wu Xing theory) and to prevent Liver Yang Rising. My previous post is to illustrate Kati what grounding really means.

A very handy document that summarises this Taoist internal art; a legacy from China's ancient wisdom to the world: https://wushu-awf.at/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/PageMengtao.pdf

And by grounding I meant a lot of physical work thst is tailored for that purpose: 1. Squat 2. Asian Squat and maintain that position for a while 3. *Low basin walking 4. Hiking He Jinghan has a lot of grounding exercises in his YT channel. Ma Bu/Horse stance is very grounding too:

The practice I do did it to me and my two teachers can verify that because they experienced the same. Some methods are a lot better than others. I hope you are aware of this principle. You need to find the ONE that works for YOU the BEST.

Arrogance? Sorry but religious talk doesn't work with me. Buddhism is flawed simply because: It doesn't admit/regulate/acknowledge the universal law of the Yin/Yang. Vipassana is probably the worst method today to reach the highest level. It can't go past deep blockages.

Not sure if I replied on this thread before but this is my take which clearly conflicts with the Buddhist view on the soul: If there is no eternal soul then this reality wouldn't exist in the first place. I firmly believe Buddha missed the mark here. No self doesn't equate to no consciousness because without one you and the entire reality you created wouldn't come to exist. So I'm aligned with the Hindu & Taoist view in that regard even the latter doesn't touch subject directly. Then nirvana also is a failed model since from my perspective nirvana only entails the end of the journeying, not the end of everything. Existence keeps on going for eternity for all of us beyond nirvana.

By ignoring people you are ignoring an ASPECT OF YOUR OWN SELF. Everything in this world...and the entire REALITY for that matter is a tiny aspect of your ENTIRE SELF. So basically there is no self as EVERYTHING is YOU and VICE VERSA. This is wisdom and it takes time to realise about it; discipline and dedicated practice will open you up to this eternal truth, if it was meant to happen in this lifetime of yours. We are all learning as ever evolving souls. EDIT: And by the way, what is the SOUL? What are we all really? To grasp this with your current human mind would be inconceivable. The magnitude of it is ETERNAL and INFINITE. The Yin & Yang dynamics are like the tentacles of the octopus. But you do not want to mess up with these two, oh no! Good grief no. This is the legacy of ancient Taoism and continuously passed on for countless generations for over millenia. It's a SACRED LAW. But I know most here are fully aware of it, no so much unawakened humans who have no idea of what is really going on within us.

A. Wisdom, intuition. B. Internal changes from basically after 6 months of practice. Opening of the mind, loosening of the entire energetic and body, connecting with Taoist principles and also the entire body of TCM medical knowledge. About paranormal? Please define it as from my experience most of it is a direct result of being ungrounded.
