Qlites

Hi. Just finishing having dinner with Sifu Bey after his workshop. We started at noon and went till 5pm. We started with bagua wuiji standing. Then went into about 7 Kenny Gong excercise to build the body. First up was "Dragon turn head," "thousand lift," "lift earth and universe," "lion plays with ball," "snake turn" (I forget the name of this one), "bear stand," and "sam choi," Then we learn the bagua walk and stepping. Worked it for 15 minutes or so.. Then do the first balms change. After people got it, we went to the application of it. Sifu Bey demo it first then do it on each of us so we know how it felt like. Then we do the same move back to him. Next was the 2nd balm change. After we got it, he again demo the application. Again perform it on each of us, and we repeat it on him. It was 5pm by then. We were so tired. Most of the students were from Local Kenny Gong student thru Sifu Morrisey here. It was a great workshop. He will come back again next winter. Our summer scare him. hahaha.. 125 degree. I hope more people will sign up next time. Peace, Q..

Hi Ape. The forms are what Jenny created for her Tai Chi Class. There are 10 but she only showed us 8. Each open and close like Tai Chi. Then it is nothing but chi kung to open each channel so you can feel what it is like when it is open. We started from the top and go down the body. This was created for easy remember. Each form are really short except for no. 8. It is nothing most of you have not seen. One of them is chi shower where you gather earth chi and sky chi and wash yourself with it. Peace, Q..

Hi Cam. I did not get the big turn out for bagua as I wanted. It will be a small class, less then 8. I am not as good as Chris when it come to promoting. hahaha.. I am totally ready to play.

Cam and I been to Max seminar when he first come to phx. Then we went to see Jenny last weekend. I only been to one Max and one Jenny seminar. I found the different more enriching than conflicting. I do understand the gossip. Some of it is because you are doing your own research since some of us live too far to spent that kind of money to find garbage and hype. I totally understand that. Both Max and Jenny said to do your own homework, then judge. I am just glad to live nearby both seminars when it did not cost me too much to do my own homework. Cam, your email was wrong so Kay could not send you the group pix. I could forward it to you if you want. Peace, Q..

Cameron had grown much. You can see in his post from the start of the kunlun till he met Sifu Jenny. I agree about the gossip about Max and Kunlun, as fun as it is. Peace, Q..

Hi Gangs. Yeah. It is a day workshop. I am not sure what exactly be cover. I heard it will the 8 palm changes of Bagua that Kenny Gong taught. From what I seen, it is different than what most Bagua school teaches out there. Kenny Gong's 8 is called the original 8 palm changes. Not better or worse, just original. Of course you won't learn everything or all forms of bagua in a day. And if you expert to learn all 8 in one day, you either newbie or form collector. I personally rather just learn the first balm and learns as much of the secrets of the first palm as I can within the workshop. Anyone who study internal martial art know what I am talking about. And it will be a bit longer to even digest it deeper after the workshop on your own. Once you own it, you can be only limited by your own imagination. I wish it to be longer than a day but it is not. But it will be a long day. What I mean is that it won't be a 6 hours workshop but 10 or longer depending on the group. From what I heard from other that trained with Sifu Bey, the man can stay all day talking and training bagua. I have not met the man, just talked briefly over the phone. I am not sure if he done update his website about this workshop yet. I will email it when I get it. Wish you all peace, Q.. From what I heard, standing is where internal martial arts get their power from. Form is an express of the standing. As in stillness in motion and motion in stillness..

Hi Cam. Airfare is at $170 RT for leaving Friday and coming back on Monday. It is a three days weekend for most because Monday is President day.. Yeeeeaa.. Yeah.. my wife is coming. And that weekend being Valentine does not help your cause.. We got a compact car so I can offer ride to and from the workshop. I used priceline to get the hotel for about $65 plus priceline fee a night at the Marriot Courtyard, which is normally $135. There are other cheaper motel but I really like the Marriot.. Yeah.. I hope Spectrum is coming. It would be great to see you more Taobums. Peace, Q.. Hi Spectrum. It took me about 8 hours to drive to Colorado springs in July of last year. Boulder is only 2 hours away from there. But we had lunch for an hour and a half. You can drive thru faster if you eat and drive.. hahaha.. Hope that helps..

Hi Cam.. When you get back to AZ?? I am going but I am flying. Best wishes, Q..

I been to one kunlun level one and one kunlun medicine. I was busy the last two visits of his. I am thinking of going to his L.A. one. Not sure yet.. Q..

I do White Crane but it is not from Taiwan. We have all the sleeping, jumping, eating, and calling crane in our system. I think there were one more in there but I forget. Where are you studying your??

Do the five element standing first to warm up. Then you can handle the cold. Just make sure there is no wind when you are doing this. Wind is bad. Good luck, Q..

Hi Mantra68. Is Kan coming back again? I may want a energy work from him. Thanks.. Hi AugustLeo. Yea. I change the month on the Window calender but forget to change the year. It is crazy how fast the year going by.

I got my year mess up. Sorry.. lol

Hi AugustLeo. The workshop is on Friday and Saturday. The free lecture is on Thursday. They changed it up. Sedona free lecture is on Sunday, the day after Phoenix. Monday and Tuesday are their workshop. I hope still can fix your scheduling.. Peace, Q..

Hi Darin. I think most of us did not talk to Max about alien cause we needed that time to focus on kunlun 1 and related materials. And alien stuff is sideshow stuff that we did not have time for. Your subject head got my attention and interest but I have nothing but my own opinion on it. Did not South Park did an episode on it with Tom Cruise and Scientilogy?? And I think Elfquest covered that possibility too. This is fun stuff to ponder.

Hi Guys. I am really sensitive to my laptop now after practicing Kunlun level 1 for a month. The bottom of the keyboard has some energy coming out and it make my right hand felt really odd. I had to switch to external keyboard when the sensition is too much. Anyone experience that?? Q..

Hi Mal. At the seminar, we did the standing five elements, red phoenix, then kunlun level 1. From what I understand, five elements, kunlun level 1, then red phoenix. But it is okay to do red phoenix before kunlun level 1. Because Red Phoenix helps you clear your mind by reaching the land between sleep and awake. Again it is base on your mind needs. Some of you who are doing this w/o the seminar are getting some negative feelings or seeing demon is due to your mind is not clear. If you have another method to clear your mind, do use it. Your kunlun will benefit more. I understand why difference sequence is need but once you get the bliss, it is better to do the Red Phoenix after kunlun level 1. Because you are practicing to raised the energy up in Red Phoenix, too. And that is what you will do when you have enough energy build up from Kunlun to be fully bliss with all the channels opened. Anyway, this is the conclusion that I reached from talking to Max as well as the group there. Good luck!!

Hi Sheng Zhen. Before the seminar, I was confused on that too. Only Level 1 was taught. They did not mention in detail when Level 2 will hit the road. From what I think I heard, it will be a year. But their feedback from the people is that so many opening up earlier than expected so maybe it will push their timeframe. But it also depend on how soon can they come back to where the first few sessions were at. Anyway, Max was showing some people Level 2 when they asked for it in Phoenix during the break.

Hi Yoda. I did introduct myself as Qlites but everyone was in their own world including myself. If you look at the TaoBums pix, I am in there.. I jumped in at the end.. Camaron know me. And Vortex wonder why I don't post much. Yes.. We got mucho martial arts teaching. I was way overloaded. I can see that despite he does not practice it much, martial art still excited him.. hahhaa. And guys, his martial art is very good. I can see why Kunlun martial art is the root of all martial art. To all that went to the Phoenix Seminar, did the mirror help you correct yourself better?? I know most of his seminar is the hotel so there is no mirror. I was up front so I think it was a great help. At first, I thought the same thing on Friday night. But whatever, I did not let that distract me to see what I can do with it. Yeah.. watching teach playing with each other thru kunlun energy was pretty amazing. I can't wait to be able to do the same with my wife later. And I like her screaming better.. lol.. To each, their own..

Rain, you should have been there on Friday night and Saturday. They were really, really loud. Wow.. Richard was so scared the neighbors shop keepers will come over and see if 911 was needed on Saturday. It took me awhile to tune them out and just focus on myself but they are the lively one. I am not saying that I don't like them or anything negative. Richard was so happy that they were more quiet on Sunday. But then like any tease, they were loud again but not as bad. But enough to take his bliss. hahaha.. Funny thing was Max kept telling them that they are letting the energy out if they scream too much. hahhaa. He gave them the innocent funny looks that you will drive me crazy too if I was not already bliss.. hahhaa.. That is my take on his look anyway. I think they been to all of Max seminar so far. I call them the Kunlun groupie.. So you will get to see them if you go to any of the future seminars. They are pretty cool, I had lunch with them.

Hi. I wish to thanks Max and his group for making a tour stop at our school. And I also wish to thank everyone who came. We all had a blast. I wish there were more time to chat with all the Tao Bums there but I was so busy digesting all the knowledges that Max shared. Here is my experiences from it. This is my first time doing any Kunlun or meet Max. On Friday's lecture, Richard and my wife felt a jolt when Max was projected his energy several time. Debbie was first sitting it front of my wife so she did not felt it until Debbie moved next to Vortex, which meant she was blocking me now. Anyway my wife's legs and shoulder was twitting.. We were sitting in the back row if that info is important. As it stated in the book, females will get quicker result from it. On Saturday, my wife was feeling the first opening or whatever and had a good blissful cry. She could not stop. Max try to encourage her to think happy thoughts but I was not too concern because I heard that crying before, it is a mix of happiness and sadness cry. She told me afterward that she was letting go of a minor fight we had the night before and felt complete bliss and release from it. As for me, I like the five elements standing posture and red phoenix more. Kunlun was fun but I was more curious about what is going on around me. I was shaking my legs and swirling my top half. Red phoenix did take me to the land between sleep and awake, I think that was the main goal of it right? Saturday was more chilling. Sunday was a bit more intense and serious. Again, my wife felt total bliss w/o the crying this time. I felt more from the kunlun on the second days but I am not as there as my wife yet. And those screaming Asian girls was a bit more mellow themselves. hahaha. Those girls took Richard out of his grove when he was about to get into the bliss several time. Those who are there know what I talking about. Those girls were more advanced, they were playing with each other energy every chance they get. Because we do martial art, Max shared some modification to the five elements standing posture for martial art. He was also very generous in show us some other forms that we could further our growth during the break. I can't say enough of how kind he was. Honestly I felt like I was at two seminars due to how many stuffs he was showing us during the breaks. Oh.. the music was a great tool to get you to the bliss too. Also I sat too close to the stereo so I could not hear everything that Max said during the sitting meditation. So if anyone who are going in the future, pick a spot away from the ipod. Kan is one of his senior student, he does not speak any English but you can see his blissfulness all the time. Kan is a big teddy bear. He is very funny and helpful. He was Max's prefer playing partner during the seminar. If he happens to show up at your seminar, get to know him. He is very likable.. Peace, Q..

I have a really good mini DV camera. It is Canon XL1. Let me know. The sound and pix is really good on this cam. I will bring it for the PHX seminar. Q..

I tried Kelly Howell's CDs. They are brainwave related. It really help me sleep and meditate.. Q..

If you want some place close by, I recommend the Desert Botanical Garden. I often go there to do Tai Chi or Chi Gong. The energy there from the plants are really powerful. $10 to get in but worth it. Beautiful place. http://www.dbg.org/ There is a good Vietnamese restaurant next door to White Crane if you want to do lunch after workshop while waiting for your private class. I am up for lunch and lunch with the group. Peace, Q..

I would say this hotel, Courtyard Phoenix Mesa by Marriott, since it is really close. I think both Marriot has free breakfast. But Sifu Max team is really busy with San Francisco seminars that he did not tell me yet. I would offer my house, but I have only one spare room. hahaha. I can't wait to see you all there. It will be mucho fun.. Q...
