Charlie,Thanks again for re-introducing me to Hayley Westenra. I've enjoyed exploring her performances one Youtube clip at a time during downtime. I've returned to her Benedictus several times--each time,more moving. I'm always moved by young prodigious talent when it surfaces. This is the Jackie Evancho piece that stunned me(starts 4:20): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6GA88T-1nw...

Hi Junbao, I just send you PM asking about the lovely painting of the golden Phoenix in flight that you have on the end of your postings. Are you the artist, by any chance? Would like to know where you found this work. It's great.

Best, Sifu Terry

Hi Charlie, I just posted details of two Flying Phoenix lessons that I taught last Saturday and on Tuesday, Dec.27. Try the Tuesday lesson if you have time (it's all seated FP Meditations). Best, Terry

Hello Cihan, I want to answer your first question and then later respond in detail to your report on the progress of your FP practice after I've had time to read it carefully. It's 2:40 am. in Los Angeles at the moment, and I need to retire as i have a long day tomorrow.

*But for now: You are doing the breathing sequences in the best possible manner...as slowly and as relaxed as p...

Hi, Thanks for your observation and note of support. Glad that that virulent mess got sorted out. Serendipitous--or maybe karmically just--that Jeremiah Z. offered a very thoughtful and complimentary closing. And the mods. 15 min. later locked the thread, forever freezing young ms. Lew's groundless rants and threats.

Hi charlie, Did you get my PM sent after your Dec. 28 message? I don't see it here and I'm puzzled. I said, yes, of course, I will be in LA in early February. We will make definite plans to get together. And you can come to class or get private lesson if you desire. and I said Hearty Congrats regarding the arrival of your grandchild. Best, Terry

Hi, sorry I missed your message on Sat. Just now read it. Very glad to hear you had powerful "eyes open" practice. Yes, working in front of the mirror magnifies the effects of this Qigong--not so for all qigong systems. I might also suggest doing the basic standing meditations in Vol.1 such as "Monk Gazing At Moon" and "Monk Holding the Peach" in front of the mirror. Ey...

Hi Garry,

i sent you an earlier PM to your WBBM address.

Which screenname do you want me to PM you with? This address or your WBBM?

btw, how do you like my Flying PHoenix banner ads on thetaobums.com? Best, Terry

Glad to hear that you're practicing the Long Form Standing Med. consistently plus two short Dragons. Happy Year of Your Dragon and Congrats again on your daughter giving birth!

Sihing Garry,I've been so buried in still tons of legal crap that I forgot what new video clip you said you had put up and where. It was about a week ago. I assume it was on your WBBM site. I'llgo look for it there. But it would help if you told me what Form or demo you had put up. Looking forward to seeing it. Yes, my life is a swirling storm of s__t right now! Hope yours is fine...

Hi Charlie, I can meet you tomorrow in Sa.Monica at the same park. No Sat class tomorrow because everyone is sick with flu or out of town. So it will probably be just me and you.So you lucked out--you get a private lesson at public rate. Call me if you want to discuss (310) 622-2925. Otherwise see you manana at 11am. I gave Fu-Dog From Florida 2 days of priv lessons last week. Went great! B...

Hi Lloyd, I'm not sure if you got my last message,but I was in trial from July 7 through July 25, and my existence was literally 2 weeks+ of consecutive all-nighters. I'm very sorry that you landed in L.A. right smack dab during my time of battle. Please let me know if you're ever out this way again.In the meantime,ifyou have questions re FP Qigong,feel free to give me a call. Best...

Hello Lloyd, So very sorry to take so long to get back to you. I've been preparing 'round the clock for past 2 weeks for trial of my case ag Drmnwks which begins today,7th. I would be glad to meet you under any normal circumstances but this lawsuit is beyond extraordinary.If you are still in L.A. over this coming week,let me know. 310-622-2925. You're welcome to visit my class or d...

that's lesson. I'll be glad to check over your Flying Phoenix practice. Please call me after 5:00 pm on weekdays. Please don't call during hrs. of 9-4:30 on weekdays as those are the hours when the trial going on in court. Thanks.

Regards,

Terry Dunn

Hi Si-hing Garry, This week was total hell for me. And it's spread to the weekend.But I can Skype with you Sunday evening PST (tonite). Let me know when is a good time for you. Hope you're well.

Yesterday, after doing GM's 10-Hook Eagle Claw form, I noticed that 40 minutes afterwards when i was holding a thick bathroom towel slowly drying my hands, the whole towel was vibrating...

...making cloth or wood vibrate intensely in the past only happened when I calmly and intensely focused on putting the BDG energy thru wood or cloth. But yesterday, for the first time, it was spontaneous and unintended.

when the discussion thread got diverted with that idiot rant by "hundun" running down A. Crowley, I completely overlooked the youtube link that you posted about the documentary on Crowley's Boleskin House at Loch Ness.I just now viewed it (all 4 parts)and thoroughly enjoyed it. The melodramatic effects & music aside,I loved it. Especially to hear Crowley's recorded voice at ...

btw, have had time to dig up the advanced Flying Phoenix footage? I'm still eager to see it. I will assemble another set of footage of GMDW and try to find time to have myself taped doing some demo's of the BDG energy. After mercury goes direct on Sept. 12, my energies will be at peak levels. (enough of this merc. retrograde already).

Also Garry, may I quote some of you comments p...

...May I quote your comments on taobums in my book on FP Qigong? How's your Burning Palm book coming along? I'm sure it's farther along than my FP book, which is in several pieces and needs tons of editing. Again, I'll be glad to write you a nice forword when you need it.

all the best,

Terry

P.S. Not to worry: the screwups& communications breakdowns of past ...

Hi Lloyd, Thanks again for your recent posting about your progress with FP Qigong. Guaranteed: there're more remarkable results ahead.

I just looked back anrealized that I didn't respond to your Oct.31 (11 mo.) status report. I'll respond in detail and also to your most recent one, point-for-point as soon as I get over this week's crunch. Expect something Thursday or Fri...

Hi Charlie, Glad to hear you're practicing the basic Standing FP meditations on Vol.1. With your Tai Chi experience and good results already from the Long Form Standing Med. of Vol.4, I think you may discover that the Basic Standing Flying Phoenix meditations to be not so basic...Try to do at least 3 or 4 of them in one session...5 minutes of each is fine. Over past 3 wks, I completed a mo...

--just moved out of my home of the past 19 yrs. twas all set to go nomad and house-sit in Taos NM for 4 mos + 6 mos in Jackson WY, but was invited to share large house with a dear college friend in the Encino hills on 2 gorgeous acres overlooking the west San Fernando Valley. She's a busy physician and needed help with her 88 yr old mother. So I traded my healing services for spectacular ne...

Still getting adjusted to new environment. Am planning to hit the road and teach much, much more as soon as i stabilize the DVD business and get corporate sponsorship for the PBS project. All the best, Terry

Hi Charlie, howya doing? Hope all's well with you. I hope your FP practice is expanding and that you're delving into the not-so-basic Basic FP exercises that lead up to the Vol.4 Long Med.that you do so well. I've started to teach the Level 2 FP Qigong in my Sat. classes.I think you would enjoy them as they are very Tai Chi like.However,Level 2 FP energy feels very different than L...

Hi Bill, can you please do me a quick favor? Please send me back a copy of the email that I sent you Sat. morning (commending you on your tact in allowing Share lew's daughter to be "right" even though she was very wrong with her belief about her father never having taught wrongly.The TC Ruler was not the only occasion Share Lew withheld the truth and instead planted time-wasting c...
