I would like to take it for general health and longevity.Since I am a male and practicing Kunlun, I am thinking American ginseng to balance more yin. What do you mean by tonify, and what reasons would you not want to do it? Thanks in advance

Does anyone know where I can get a Lok Hup instructional DVD?

I have been doing a form of Tai Chi, Tai Chi Chih, for about 3 years. Moy's Tai Chi for 6 months. I just started LHFB. Yes, I am told to do the first half for 2 years before learning the second half. Where can I find the taoist tai chi videos?

For someone like me, entrainment has taken me in a year what others have taken decades to accomplish. I can now meditate without it, but it is cool to be able to choose what frequency you want to be in, and see where that gets you. Currently I use a half hour theta program during my lunch break as a sleep replacement ( I only get 4 hours a night), A hour delta power nap session when I get home, I developed a kunlun session that ramps the Schuman Resonance harmonics up into the gamma frequencies, an alpha, theta, SMR program to get me ready for sleep, and I loop a theta/delta white noise program all night while sleeping.

Just started a month ago. Good stuff. I don't want to practice at home in fear that I may be practicing wrong. Too bad Moy's schools, The International Tai Chi Association, does not sell DVD's.

I am currently learning from a Master Moy Lin- shin school. Problem is Lok Hup is only taught once a week. I would like a DVD as a study aid while practicing at home. Any help is appreciated.

Precisely. That's how I quit. 98% of the time I NEEDED to smoke. 2% of the time I wanted to smoke.

My "Taoist" take on "forces of darkness" If there can be light, there must be darkness. After dark is when many predators hunt, so it is a time when prey (including humans) are cautious. Healthy, cautious prey live to reproduce, sick careless prey fall victim to the predators. Humans being spiritual beings converted the unseen predators as ghosts, gods, or spirits to survive. Such tribes survived to reproduce. Good for the predators. Bad for the prey. "Forces of lightness" would include cognitive ability to gather and farm. This thins out the predator's hunting ground. Good for prey, bad for predators. Just the other side of the coin. Only humans will hunt and kill relentlessly their fears of being prey. The slaughter of sharks are an example, triggered by a movie. Bad for predators and prey. So we must stay healthy and cautious as to not fall prey to the forces of dark. We must stay cautious to our Spirits as we may fall prey to the forces of light and dark.

$5000.00 ??+ airfare+ lodging+ food etc???? 23 days. I was born a poor white child in the suburbs of Detroit. I feel privileged to just have a humble place to live and a computer to communicate with the world.

Depends on how bad you are physically addicted to nicotine. If such is the case, a weaning process may be needed. If you need the patch or such, you must reduce it's use also.

A cold beer! Belgian Wit would be my first choice. If I can't drink it under a willow or stream side, my mind will fill in the blanks.

This is very Aurvedic. Such practice has specific diets to boost or pacify the doshas mainly vata, pitta, or kapha. Balancing the diet means getting all of the tastes (there are only 5 tastes your tongue can recognize, flavors are a combination of tastes and smells and are in the thousands). It also preaches that if you keep a clear mind, your body will naturally crave what it needs.

I thought about when I really liked to smoke, and when I just did it out of habit. For me it was with my morning coffee, and after a big meal. at such times, I smoked until I was satisfied, not smoking it down to the butt. Soon I was only smoking 2 cigs a day, then 1, then none. Taking a martial arts class also helped me to realize how much better I functioned without smoking.

I have since tweaked the track. Would love to share it , but I am having trouble finding where to upload it.

Chris I too have NP2 pro and love it! I posted a track. A search of brainwave entrainment should reveal it.

Beautiful! I can feel the energy just watching!

I also had gone through an eerily similar time. I got through it just as windblown, with the exception of I meditated at least 20 minutes in the afternoon, and 20 just before bed. It was not until after I started seated meditation that I could stop taking anti depressants. It also "cured" my chronic insomnia and restless leg syndrome. Brainwave entrainment helped me leaps and bounds. Martial Arts also helped reducing fears and boosting self confidence as well as providing an outlet for stress and exercise. Doesn't matter if it is internal external or what, just what you believe to be the best for you.

I am a great fan of brainwave entrainment music. It is a pulsing beat that guides your brain into specific brainwave patterns. Alpha waves are produced in light meditation, theta in deep meditation. You can practice all the great advice given above in conjunction with entrainment. Just listen to the music as you meditate. The beats will gently guide you to the state desired. A great program which allows you to create your own tracks, as well as a huge library of already made tracks is: Neuro- Programmer 2 A free trial version is available. You can download and start today. To me the cost of the full program is well worth the $$ I would suggest starting with the programs already made for you specifically for anxiety/stress reduction, and then trying some deeper theta programs when you feel it is time.

This link still works. I have since tweaked the program, narrowing it down to longer periods of the more significant frequencies for better entrainment value. When I get some time (I'm working 2 jobs right now) I will post.

It is my understanding that Holosync is binural beat track that tales you down to delta 2.5hz. The next step takes you down to 1.5hz, then .5 hz. After you reach that stage, you start over at 2.5 hz with a different (lower ) carrier frequency. Holosync is ridiculously expensive, costing hundreds of dollars per program, and will run you up in the thousands for the full system. There is a version of the same program available when you purchase Transparent's software through the user's programs posted online.

Agreed experience with the post- gamma buzz! Not much research has been done on gamma entrainment. Heck they can't even agree where it starts and where it ends. Most say it starts at 40htz, but the big disagreement is if hyper gamma even exists. Check out this site for the full scoop: lunarsite brainwave listing I find ramping up to high beta, then low gamma to be the most effective for entrainment. When you get into the hyper gamma stage, it is hard for the brain (well mine at least) to hear the pulses.

Bowie is one of my favorite artists. I find his lyrics to be intriguing, fascinating as well as entertaining. Also an accomplished Mime and actor. He was never a powerhouse singer or guitar player but yet seemed to put together a routine that would be of superstar status. I agree that his earlier work, Hunky Dory, Aladdin Sane, Pin Ups, Ziggy Stardust and Diamond Dogs are ripe with mysticism.

Kind of like Stan of Southpark puking every time he talks to Wendy

"I" will return to where I came from. I do not know where that is, but the taoist philosophy I have been studying, and the observations I have made, assures me that it is natural and good. My human form will return to it's elements. What is next remains the great mystery. It adds excitement to life.

Sorry, I guess I don't know how to insert pictures out of an E mail O.K. I'll try it again
