I do have 'Opening the Dragon Gate' and i've just ordered Scotty's suggested reading, thanks

Thanks for the informative reply Scotty and i understand that they are to compliment practical teachings and transmissions.

The reason that i asked this question is twofold: I am personally learning the inner teachings with a teacher (Universal Tao) and also studying the subject at University and thus have a book allowance that needs to be utilized.

Any more suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi

Any suggestions on books concerning Taoist Inner Alchemy and Taoist Magic. I have some Mantak Chia books covering Fusion and Kan and li but would be interested in hearing others opinions? Thanks in advance. island

Heartfelt condolences, my thoughts are with you and your family.

Mind your Yin and Yang

Thank you Michael...i sure will.

And to Hittstick - Yes i'm smiling and where i am at is wherever i'm supposed to be.

Thanks again

Hi RV

Thanks for Asking.

I Have spent the last 4 months attending the workshops in London and have completed the first 4 steps - Inner Smile, Healing Sounds, MCO, Iron Shirt Qigong, Tai chi Qi gong, Fusion and Kan and Li practices. It's been one hell of a ride and i've loved every minute of it. It was a lot of knowledge to take on board in such a short amount of time but i have a lot of time now to digest and practice all i have learned. I have been doing morning sessions for the last 4 months and have really noticed a change in myself and my energy levels and internal strength. I have also become more aware of the flow of energy and how it moves through me and around me. I also feel more centred and grounded.

I am now in the process of applying for more funding to study the Shamanic aspects of the course, Step 5 which begins in January - May 2011.

I think i've begun a journey that may never end?

Trust yourself, Know yourself, Respect yourself, Accept yourself, Love yourself, Believe in yourself and be free of doubt.

....And you missed the irony.

My goal is to not have a goal.

It reminds me of a 90's Pringles Ad - 'Once you pop, you can't stop'

'Being perfectly still internally in each moment gives great power But giving up that power brings happiness'

- When one sees the emptiness in oneself the grasping and attachment cease.

Hi

When i have a cold i drink lots of water. Hot organic lemons and ginger. Raw crushed garlic and several grams of Ester-C.

I'll practice Zhan Zhuang for 30 mins in the morning wearing plenty of layers and that'll leave me sweating profusely.

I also take Saunas, drinking plenty more water to flush the body of toxins. Take it easy and rest a little, read and generally enjoy the downtime. Usually gone in a couple of days.

A-CHOO!

It's integral (necessary to the completeness of the whole practice).

You haven't done it unless you do it!

Thanks for the suggestion, i saw the wire hitters on healing tao but 57 quid is a bit too much for my liking.

Hi there,

Anybody know where i can buy cheap steel hitters or rattan hitters (meridian energisers) in the Uk for Bone Marrow Nei Gung?

Or can anyone suggest cost effective alternatives or something that i can construct myself that would do the job?

Thanks in Advance

Take only what you can carry and give the rest away.

Great post Ron!

"To keep my post at least semi-"on-topic", let me say that I find the serpentine allusions in early Mesopotanian religion and Zoroastrianism to be helpful in studying the parallels in the Abrahamic faiths of Judaism & Christianity."

Don't worry about the finer points.....hop on it's going in an hour!

Everyone is welcome
