  1. Insomnia

  2. Review of Jenny Lamb's Yi Gong Seminar

    Does Sifu Jenny's method put emphasis on a 20 minuite post meditation? Also, what were her views on practicing Kunlun with other practices?
  3. Insomnia

    Entrain your brainwaves to SRM frequencies (12- 14hz). You can do so by listening to brainwave entrainment tracks while you meditate. More info and a free two week trial can be found here: Nero Programmer !!
  4. Cat/Patients

    This was on a a House episode. Had something to do with the cat looking for warmth.
  5. Has The Tao Bums become (B)anal?

    What about the Taoist principal of wu wei? Must the mods forcibly take action, or will things take care of themselves? Hmmm.
  6. Has The Tao Bums become (B)anal?

    Your post show your age!
  7. 1 Glass of Wine?

    I need alcohol to get laid!
  8. 1 Glass of Wine?

    One or 2 glasses of wine or beer a day is better for you than no alcohol at all. Thins the blood preventing heart attacks and strokes.
  9. Iron palm taugh with instructor or through book?

    Patiently awaiting the first installment!
  10. If you have a pulse

    Don't look here. This is only for the immortals. Get a life before you lose one. Please!
  11. Kunlun and Demons

    Ah! Taken like a true Taoist master!
  12. Over Forty Only

    You just don't get the joke Sorry P.S. I get it!
  13. Over Forty Only

    Correct. Age is a state of mind. I will take sage advice from a two year old. Likewise, turning 40 makes you no better.
  14. Over Forty Only

    You missed : 11. Not having anything to do with Taoism whatsoever.
  15. Kunlun and Demons

    This thread is like a car wreck. You don't want to look, but you just got to.
  16. I have an excellent brainwave entrainment program that uses the Schumann Resonance and delta frequencies to release HGH and promote healing. She can listen to it while lying in bed. If you think that she would like to try it, let me know and I will upload it on Rapidshare for you.
  17. Migraines

    Brainwave Entrainment has been proven to aid migraines and chronic pain. Alpha frequencies and delta have both been effective. Neuro- Programmer 2 has a unique program that combines photonic (flashing lights) stimulation at delta, and audio entrainment (isocronic tones ) at alpha to treat headaches. A free 2 week trial can be downloaded here: Transparent Corp
  18. Bubbleguts

    You may have a rare talent. The ability to fart at will. such artists call themselves "fartists" Watch a fartist here
  19. Self hypnotism, autosuggestion

    I have had experience using affirmations embedded in brainwave entrainment tracks. For some it is very powerful, others not. The technique is to use visualizations in an alpha state (light meditation) and recorded suggestions when in theta (deep meditation). All I can say is give it a try and see if it works for you. May I ask what bad habits are you seeking to be rid of? Then possibly I can offer some specific suggestions.
  20. Beer, Wine, Sake Brewing

    Wine making may appear to be easier, but it is also easier to make big mistakes. Brewing is more forgiving. I have broken all the rules of brewing at one time or another and have never brewed a batch of "dumpbrau". Agreed. Covers all the bases. It's the book that started it all. Zymurgy magazine is also a great publication. I would also highly recommend finding a local home brew store. The only thing homebrewers like to do more than drinking homebrew is talking about it. Check out this web site Home Brew Digest for a wealth of info. The forums under the discussion link is quite informative as well as entertaining. I would start off with a kit such as this one Beginng Home Brew Kit . This is all you need to brew a 5 gallon batch of beer, except bottles, which you can either buy, or reuse store bought beer bottles. You can also use it to make wine. Stay away from those refrigerator kits. They are limiting and you will soon outgrow it. Go with a simple extract recipe such as a Heffenwisen or an ESB. Extract is freeze dried malt wort. Advantages are that you can brew in your kitchen without any special equipment besides your kit, and it trims 2-3 hours off your brewing time because the mash has already been done for you. Disadvantage is that it is more expensive than all grain and you have more control doing your own mash. If you decide to make the jump to all grain brewing, all you need to do is purchase a mash tun and one of those outdoor turkey frying setups. Oh, and a wort chiller.Welcome to the obsession. One piece of advice I will give you is to make a yeast starter. The amount of yeast cells in those so called "pitchable" yeast packs are hardly enough to ferment a 5 gallon batch to completion. Do this and your first batch may possibly be the best beer you ever had! Because this post is on the Taobums I will add: -Unfiltered beer such as homebrew is an excellent source of B vitamins -Wine is loaded with antioxidants ans contains resveritrol, an anti aging substance -Beer is food, containing protein and charbohydrate -A regular beer has less calories than the same amount of soda or juice -The amount of alcohol in 1 or 2 beers or wine a day is better for you than no alcohol at all To your health!
  21. Beer, Wine, Sake Brewing

    I've been home brewing for about 10 years now. It becomes an obsession. Tell me, are you brewing with extract or all grain?
  22. Draft; how bad is it?

    According to Ayurveda, drafts are aggravating to vata, soothing to pitta. Your dosha must be mostly vatta. Not fixing the problem could result in a terrible imbalance. Take the Dosha Test and find out what your dominate dosha is and follow the advice .
