  1. Digestive Problems

    Bwahahahaha what an ironic coincidence Yes I feel as if I know well what you are describing and believe myself to share it. I myself am a fruitarian and lately I've been hitting the grapes rather hard but I'm noticing shortly after ingestion i'll get gas, pain, and i'll shit out grape juice and skins. not very pleasant. I've also noticed undigested particles with others foods (mainly vegetables). For me it's very similar to when I do a Salt Water Flush, stuff just moves through me very quickly. Now if we were to look at this from an Ayurvedic standpoint one would say you have excess Vata. You're probably on the thin side, irregular digestion, problems with worry and anxiety and low endurance. Or so they label symptoms of excess Vata, i was labeled the same way. Their suggestion is on warm soft "gooey" foods. Whole Raw Milk, cooked processed grains, etc etc. You may want to try sum raw milk or raw yogurt temporarily for the probiotic value. Thats saved my digestion in the past. They also suggest calming and soothing practices as well as food. Vata is "movement", the element of air (gas in GI tract), they would say you have too much "movement" in body and mind and would likely prescribe remedies to "calm" and "soothe" you. So yes meditation, breathwork, listening to relaxing music, laughing, playing, etc all would likely help you balance. From the standpoint of chemisty, it sounds like a pancreatic weakness. Have you tried digestive enzymes? If you try them and it brings relief then you can bet your pancreas is weak. If thats the case you may want to try and herbal formula. Also is you notice sugar problems especially, you may also have an adrenal weakness. If you have a particlar problem digesting fats you may have a liver weakness. Try a liver/gallblader flush and maybe some tonifying herbs. If you have a problem with proteins or have acid reflux it could be that your body is too acidic. When the stomach is running low on bicarbonates (due to them being used elsewhere to neutralize acids) the stomach will not release HCL because it won't have the bicarbonates to neutralize it which would allow the HCL to eat through your system. Drinking alkaline water (or adding alluminum free baking soda to you water), or drinking "green juices" can help in this area. I've personally been experimenting with herbs lately and they seem to have an effect. I've been taking a pancreas and spleen formula, we'll see how that works. I know you're probably not aspiring to be a fruitarian like me but I've found that most "solid" or "non-juicy" fruits like dates, (dried)figs and bananas work fine, where the more juicy fruits (grapes, berries) cause problems for me. But it's good that your bowels are working. It sux that your not digesting you food properly (which is probably why your body's trying to get rid of it so fast), but it's good your bowels are keeping up strong. The last piece of advise is just general. When you eat chew your food thoroughly and make sure to mix your saliva with it before swallowing, always stop before full, never eat when mentally disturbed (angry, sad, worried), drink 1-2 cups of water before each meal, get plenty of EXERCISE!!, stay hydrated (shoot for 3-4 litres of water/herbal tea a day) and don't eat when you're not hungry. Also it may help to consult an Ayurvedic or Tcm practitioner or an herbalist/acupuncturist. I would say in terms of qigong, the standing exercises would probably work the best, or any endurance workout. Exercise is a critical part of digestion, and like you said, water helps too, stay hydrated!. I know there was someone on here who healed themselves of something practicing Baguazhang. Maybe you can talk to him or he'll show up here about that. Again, I would say the standing exercises. I would try standing in horse stance for 20mins before each meal and focusing on the lower dan tien with deep abdominal breathing. Make sure you're sweating, if you not then go lower in the stance. But that along should bring incredible benefit. i hear the shaolin monks used to eat in a particular stance I don't remember if it was horse or something else. But anyway, thats my 2c for the moment. If i think of anything else i feel of terrible importance to add, i will. Best of luck to you sir! -Astral
  2. Digestive Problems

    Might I inquire to what symptoms you experience that would quality as "digestive problems"? Do you notice it with certain foods more than others? -Astral

    Haha, I used to wonder this too. Like what if what we both call whatever color the sky is "blue" but what we actually see is diff but we call it the same thing? Like I see dirt, it's a certain color and i'm taught to call it "brown" and you're taught to call it brown but we actually see what we both call "brown" differently. Fun things to ponder. I used to read stories of yogis and occultists who could project their consciousness into another object or person and experience life through it's perspective. That sounds fun (potentially) -Astral
  5. Real levitating buddhist monk?

    Also, emotions can be easily manipulated. Logic has the tendency to be more "solid" and less easy to be manipulated. At least that's what I believe based on experience from watching my thoughts and emotions. It's amazing what you can find from this simple practice -Astral
  6. The 256 year old man

    Haha, there's a rumor that before he died he said something along the lines of "I've done everything I can do on this planet, I'm done here". Something tells me he wasn't spending 100% of his time strictly on planet earth if ya catch what I mean ;p
  7. Your Favorite Martial Art

    I always wondered what it would be like learning ninjitsu. U think they have any internal arts? or is it all based on illusion and deception? I was originally thinking Wing-Chun cause i'm kinda "slim" but I'm not really interested in violence. I wouldn't mind learning how to play ping-pong with nunchucks though XD I'll have to look into some of these recommendations. I'm not so well versed in all these diff types. jaysahnztao- thats pretty interesting to hear, I had bagua in the back of my head because I remember hearing it was like the only strictly daoist martial art, which sounded kinda neat. After reading your post I'm definitely going to have to pay it some more mind.
  8. The jury is still out on john chang?

    Wouldn't it be funny if he honestly believed he had powers but everyone around him was just making it seem like he did, lololol, like this..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqYRlUQi_ao Haha, but in all seriousness...The Mo Pai system produces results, it may not lead to super powers(of course I don't known anything past level 2) but it certainly does help one develop energetically. I personally don't choose to beLIEve one way or another but it certainly seems worth exploring. Re- Indonesian Kris, could it be possible that he fabricated that just to keep the tradition alive. Indonesian Krises don't really have anything to do with development, so maybe he did that just for the sake of tradition, to try to keep it alive or to keep a sense of "mysticism" which is so lost in the modern mindset. Who knows. I'd still say the system is worth exploring though. Or what you can learn of it anyways ;p And if I were lazy i'd use a lighter, but if I wanted to "show my stuff" I'd rub two sticks together REALLLLY fast and make fire and be like, "HA! I can do it in an unnecessarily complicated and menial fasion. NOW WHAT SONNNNNNNNNN!!" lol -Astral
  9. How much do we undersatnd the Microcosmic Orbit...?

    this is what I've heard and read in Bill Bodri's Book, Toaist Yoga and Immortality and from mo pai's system. The method of building chi in the dan tien to produce heat which eventually "spills over" and moves up the spine. My personal experience = I've gotten to the "heat" stage of these techs but then stopped and started kunlun again. With kunlun I've had the experience of a strong sensation that feels like an electric current...quite uncomfortable at times. When I "release" it, it starts in the heart. When I first started kunlun it'd get stuck between my shoulder blades in my back. Then after a few months it moved to the base of the neck. About a week ago it cracked the base of my skull and currently is working on that spot. Now I may not be experiencing the MCO because I haven't been building chi in my LDT, I've been releasing something that starts in the heart, thats my experience with kunlun/spntaneous practice. But if we're talking from books, I've always heard the building of chi in the LDT through concentration and deep (abdominal) breathing. Actually in the book by Lu K'uan Yu, it says to start with "fixing the spirit in it's original cavity" BEFORE ever attempting to do the MCO. If I may quote a paragraph... It also seems to stress well regulated breathing... Not to say this book is the "Authority" but it's just another interesting piece of info. -Astral

    But of course my son, and you tell your Damascus Steel Viking Sword that I'll take it around the world to meet a bunch of "masters" for an ALL TIME LOW PRICE of 15,000 euros. Who am I? I'll give you a hint, it rhymes with "gay kid's her bestie" But on that serious note, here's you link: http://chaukeedaar.wordpress.com/2011/03/22/is-comet-elenin-a-brown-dwarf-extinguishing-earth-in-october-2011/ -Astral P.S. I don't necessary believe it to true, but if the predictions on the chart prove to be right then they may be on to something.

  12. Spontaneous Movement Qigong

    Hey Scotty, Curious, what did you find that actually DID improve qi flow as opposed to SQ? -Astral
  13. Anyone seeking TRUE power

    While being as strong as an ultra powerful saiyan warrior would be totally badass, remember it may not be all it's cracked up to be in real life. You may end up with some odd idiosyncrasies. Like a hyper sensitivity to alcohol or sugar... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f57N_iWCh5o&feature=related Don't say I didn't warn you -Astral
  14. Anyone seeking TRUE power

    Hahaha, damn dude, that's quite a rival there. Idk, I think Dr. Strange might be my new "strongest character" reference. That shits pretty hax But then again I'd have to see the extent at which he could use it vs the extent at which magneto could use his stuff. Although I guess if magneto takes focus but Dr Strange only takes belief...phew thats tough, lol. I'llhave to think about that. Thx! -Astral
  15. Observation test... KNOW how smart you are!

    HAHAHA that was awesome XD Here's another good one:
  16. Anyone seeking TRUE power

    In terms of REAL POWER I'd have to say I think Max of kunlun is getting there with his "magnetic chi", but even he would have to stand in awe at the TRUE power exhibited only by his secret sifu...MAGNETO! He can control F%^KING ELCTRONS!! Like...thats game over. He could destroy one's molcular body in an instant. Even gold dragon body...just energy bruh and he controls it Magneto is the ultimate Ascended Master.
  17. something's up?

    Haha, I see. Have u ever try raw gland extracts? They're usually used for healing as they stimulate gland functioning (mostly for hypo cases), but I'd imagine if a gland it "at par" then taking it would stimulate it to work "above par". I've never done this myself but I'd be curious to know how that works. I know the Greeks and Romans used to feed the men bull testicles for the raw hormone precursors but some evidence shows that these glandulars have even more to them. http://www.allaboutnutritionalhealing.com/glandularsupplements Look under the "Evidencial Research" portion. Here's a small paragraph But I would imagine, especially if one were to take and adrenal glandular... Again the adrenal glands create the neuro-transmitters acetylcholine, DHEA, dopamine, etc which are all heavily involved in the sexual experience, and since the adrenals also control the autonomic nervous system (breathing, heart rate, pulse, etc) I would assume it would control "muscle contractions" as well . Just a theoretical guess there. Also Yohimbine, the active ingredient in Yohimbe is supposed to increase blow flow like crazy. They actually banned it i think, cause it posed a risk to some people, lol, but if your arteries are clear I'd imagine it'd work quite well. then of course there's horny goat weed, lol. STill never tried that one. They sell a pharmaceutical grade versions of both here: http://www.international-supplements.com/sexual-health-libido.html Although I haven't ordered from here yet, so I can't vouche for legitimacy or quality, but it may be worth looking into if you're into this kinda thing I mite check that book out though. I'm curious what you've learned XD I'm still working with some stuff myself. -Astral
  18. OK Seriously Where To Get KUNLUN BOOK?

    John Chang? He's the only one I know who apparently can do his "stuff" on non-open people. Sifu Hata apparently can do it too. Of course I've never investigated either of them personally but I've talked to one of JC's students who vouches for him. Laughingblade - really? Thats pretty crazy. Maybe I WILL check out sant mat after all. May as well anyway, lol. Did the mantra go something like this? And kechari mudra? eesh, isn't that the one where you like cut your tongue or something? -Astral
  19. OK Seriously Where To Get KUNLUN BOOK?

    Nah I learned from Jas. I saw Max was teaching, but it's all the way on the west coast (i'm on the east coast) and I haven't the cash to go Do you think if I paid him alil extra i could run down to HA and get like a quick one-on-one? I'd really just love to meet the guy and hear him talk about stuff for a bit XD I heard from another bum that he asked Max to do something to him, demonstrate his energy but he said he couldn't do it on "non-students". That story could be a flat out lie, I wouldn't know. -Astral P.S. if you wanted to PM me instead, that'd be fine. idk if you prefer talking in/out of the public forum or whatever, either way it's all good.
  20. something's up?

    <GASP> Another nutritional witchdoctor!? XD XD XD I share such focus on dietary experiments (if you haven't been able to tell by my posts, lol). Might I ask what your goals are through your experiments? Do you use herbs? Maybe we should trade notes or ideas sumtime Hope you find what you're looking for! -Astral
  21. OK Seriously Where To Get KUNLUN BOOK?

    Interesting. I'd love to hear your take on A.) the purpose of red phoenix B.) the ultimate purpose of kunlun C.) what it means to 'derived gold' and who the "kunlun goddess" is. D.) what the origin and quality differences of Kunlun are Is the purpose of red phoenix by any chance to stimulate the pinneal gland to secrete "amrita" or that sweet dew that drips down the back of the throat? The visualization may suggest something similar to this, but honestly i'm left clueless Also when you mention what the "kunlun goddess" and egyptians were able to due, are you refering to what max calls "gold dragon body"? -Astral
  22. Over weight qigong masters?

    WARNING : This may be long and involve some minor chemistry My 2cents= Well I'd have to ask, 'what causes one to be "overweight". In the terms of bruce...he's fat, he's got man tits and a gut. What causes that? So some people believe it's all about "calories" but here's my thoughts on that. What are calories? They're supposed to be a measurement of energy. But how is energy produced? First the body takes glucose and breaks it into Pyruvate. The pyruvate then, in the presence of adequate cellular oxygen, enters the mitochondria and creates ATP (Adenosine triphosphate). So when you eat fruits and non-starchy vegetables or 'simple sugars', the body directly absorbs the glucose and creates ATP. So if we ingest enough glucose we will have enough ATP (given certain conditions are met). However when we don't get enough glucose in our system our body breaks down fats or proteins into glucose and uses that. However what's not added to the equation is A.) the amount of ATP needed to convert the fat/protein into glucose B.) the metabolic waste involved in that metabolic function/breakdown So lets say, for example, that one molecule of glucose = 9 ATP and each molecule of fat renders 2 glucose molecules BUT it takes 12 ATP to break it down. Then you 'NET ATP' (which is never emphasized) would only be 6 ATP. And what if it takes another 3 ATP to clean up the metabolic waste that wouldn't be there if it had 'pure" glucose and didn't have to break down fat? But anyway, lets say that there IS an abundance of energy. If you have too much ATP, too much energy...you're not going to sit on the couch and drink a beer, you're going to be restless, bouncy and motivated to go DO SOMETHING. That how I feel when I eat a high fruit diet, I'm energetic ALL the time, I just want to run and never stop because I have such an abundance of energy (and if I eat late at night I can't sleep "like now ). But I'll NEVER be fat on fruit, I could eat 8000 calories a day and never gain a pound because when I have enough energy I'm active and motivated. Digestions is easy, elimination is easy, simple carbohydrate metabolism is clean... however you get a big meal of meat and potatoes and phewWWWWWW that energy go bye-bye and Id get sluggish, unmotivated and slightly depressed, lol. When it comes to having a 'gut' usually it's intestinal. When I eat a big meal of low fiber "stuff" it sits in there and doesn't move nearly as easy as fruits and vegetables. As soon as one gets constipated, their bowels load up and become bloated (especially in the case of indigestion). The intestines will become enflamed and over a prolonged period will be grossly stretched out of shape and may ever prolapse. Now personally I think most health problems are 'gland weaknesses'. For example: usually excess fat can be traced back to the adrenals and thyroid. Man-tits, especially to the adrenals which create neurotransmitters like dopamine, DHEA and acetylcholine. Since DHEA is the precursor to testosterone, if the adrenal cortex isn't functioning "up to par" then there may be hormonal imbalances. If the thyroid is hypoactive the metabolism and energy will be slow. If someone has alot of wrinkles or "flabby" or have low bone density they may have a parathyroid weakness, may not be utilizing calcium (which leads to MAJOR imbalances throughout the body). But wait, isn't qigong supposed to increase gland health and function? I think it does but without understanding what causes these glands to become weak in the first place, I'd say it merely slows your own decay. So what causes the malfunctioning of glands? I'll leave that one up in the air. I'm still working with Dr Erhet's material and 'mucus' theory. Qigong can only do so much though, unless we address the daily exposure to the factors that CAUSE gland weakness, we're only slowly our own decay. Though I must say, Chinese herbalism (actually just herbalism in general) is GREAT XD I've been working with herbs on my fruit diet and have noticed a MONUMENTAL change in health. I'm also going to experiment with glandulars. So my opinion on overweight qigong masters is that they know their craft but they don't know their vessel Until we master this body and mind, anything else is going to be rather difficult wouldn't u agree? I find it funny that John Chang, a high level nei-gong practitioner still smokes. Again, knows nei-gong, can do some crazy shit...still doesn't understand his vessel, or simply doesn't care about it -Astral
  23. OK Seriously Where To Get KUNLUN BOOK?

    Undestanding - Red phoenix is really just a third eye meditation, again it's got a mudra and visualization, but in it's essence it's just focusing on your brain. Really man, all this stuff is basically the same, the one god with many masks kinda deal. If you look at the 'sant mat' thing, it's the same, third eye meditation with a mantra (except they apparently reveal and "inner light and sound" which I am still curious about. All alchemy starts with opening the channels and orbits, kunlun is no diff. The spontaneous practice and red phoenix are just that, they clear channels and establish orbits. Obviously if people can't handle the shift in consciousness then, yes, it can be perceived as "harmful", but it's just awakening and thats why the emphasis on "letting go" is there. As you evolve you're going to change. You can't hold on to what you think is 'you' and expect to evolve, it's not going to work. Also, as you move up in terms of dimensions, you're bound to come across the "astral" plane first. This can be a dangerous world and is often suggested that you ignore it completely. In fact it's usually suggested that you ignore most worlds and dimensions and just focus on going higher and higher until you reach highest (or until get so overwhelmed with curiousity ). Interestingly I notice most 'waterpath' puts emphasis on third eye meditations. I wonder if they call it "path of no more learning" because you can access other dimensions and learn from otherworldly beings rather than have to pay some chubby white dude $500 but I can see how that could cause problems. John Chang used to say "watch out of spirits" cause they're after you (yin or yang, i forget) chi. If you study occult manuals they often function (seemingly) similarly because they tend to focus on contacting spirits or other dimensions. Most "powers" they have involve summoning spirits or making "deals" with them to do stuff for you. If you've ever seen the "Llama Thunderbolt" film, it looks like thats exactly what Max is doing, of course I could be COMPLETELY wrong on that so don't think i'm saying that with an certaintly or authority, it's just something i've pondered. If, however, anyone does make contact with other beings and starts interacting with them, there is potential risk, especially if they offer you certain..."things" ;P so anyone weak-willed or too caught up in this world would likely fall into some trouble. But again this paragraph could be a COMPLETE misunderstanding and again i'm not even saying it with ANY amount of certainty so take it with 1/2 a grain of salt (but keep it in mind). The other thing about kunlun is that alot of people seem to think it's some "left hand" tantric, occult spirit thing with this dark tint to it. These are the people who, imo, will never get anywhere in this system. The idea of a "waterpath" is to empty the mind and let the chi arise on it's own where the point of a "firepath" is to focus the energy into one spot and cause it to "explode" upward and clear everything up. In kunlun the point is emptyness (although it's really only emphasized by Jenny). The spontaneous qigong is a tool to reach emptiness ime. Jenny says its a tool for awareness, but i find it much easier to sit still and stop thinking after shaking violently for 30mins Again though, the REAL magic is in the emptiness meditation, the "cooldown" Idk why they says to only close for 20mins, I would go MUCH longer on that, I'd only do the kunlun for 20 mins and sit in emptiness for an hour. Then again the kunlun energy seems to be working my micro-orbit. Like I said when i first started it's feel it in my back, it's now up to the base of my skull. But either way the point is cultivation. Alot of people get sidetracked by "bliss" or "visions" and start doing the practice just for these, but again the point is to return to emptiness, unless you keep that in mind you'll never achieve anything. If anything kunlun seems more buddhist than anything else, lol, just with a weird spontaneous practice. Again, even Max, when interviewed by James Gilliand(?), said that alot of people become like "bliss junkie", and they get trapped, and that the point is to return everything to emptiness. Witch - I would assume it's a mirror effect. From what I know of the Mao Shan and from the words of sifu Hata and Kan, Max is able to reflect any negative intentions back at the user. Sifu Hata talks at length about this. He says that whenever someone uses "black magic' or casts a curse on you, it bounces back and hits them ten times more powerful. Also in an interview when Kan was talking about when Max said "strike me with anger" he said that all of the aggression he put into attacking Max just suddenly came back and hit him like a ton of bricks. This seems to be what the Mao Shan are about, they seem to have extensive protection from the "dark arts" and tend to speak out against it (at least sifu hata does). All of the above is of course assuming that any of this is real and it's not all just some grand illusion or "auto-suggestion". The fact that Max said his "energy" only worked on practitioners was a "red flag' for me in terms of legitimacy -Astral
  24. OK Seriously Where To Get KUNLUN BOOK?

    I don't remember there being any problems or controversy with red phoenix, it seemed like it was only the spontaneous practice. Red Phoenix is rather basic, idk why it's kept secret. Nothing special about it imo, just a mudra with a visualization, although it's a helpful visualization Kinda feel like a whale when I do it though (anyone who knows it will get what i mean, lol). The spontaneous stuff is interesting and i'd say it's the "meat and potatoes" of the system in terms of energetics. When I first started = last year in april, the energy hit the spot in my back between my shoulder blades. After a few months it moved up to my neck, 2 days ago it reached the base of my skull (a fun experience) and the energy is there now. I don't really do the practice and I don't even really call it practicing. You just have this energy that does it's own thing, you just get out of it's way and watch it. Like it happened while I was gaming online and i had to stop and sit and let it do it's thing. You can block it too, everyday living will certainly kill the buzz. I'm surprised Max and Jenny don't teach purification. Try fasting or at least a fruit diet while doing kunlun, JEEEEZUS, thats where it's at man haha. I noticed the same effect from fasting and the spontaneous practice, so I concluded they are both just purification processes. Fasting resulted in bringing up MUCH emotional junk and hightened my sensitivity/awareness to scary levels. Thing is if you don't purify your mind, you're gonna get some f****d up experiences imo. Our aura is meant to act like a filter so we don't have to worry about "negative influences", however the more we weaken our aura, lower our vibration, the more susceptible we are to negative influence. So again, I'm rather surprised Max doesn't teach this (imo VITAL) aspect. At least Jenny puts emphasis on being a good person and I can't help but respect her vibe, she seems so serious though, I hope she's still "young at heart", life sucks when you lose that "Youthful playfulness" inside But yeah, the biggest thing is to let go of your fear. Watch "Fight Club" a couple hundred times if you have to, lol. I've had the "sleep paralysis" thing, where you think you wake up and you can't move and you're visited by something. First time it was a snake that strangled me, then some tall white dude giving a lecture and then showed me this bright yellowish green reptile-humanoid laying next to me (which i accidentally woke up by screaming, lol, it was a still young, i felt bad ) and last one I had in those days was me waking up as a light blue hologram of my body, I sat up and saw my body laying there and freaked out. Then I gave it a break and worked more on my mind. I just had a few the other night. I "woke up" and had some weird face in my closet, I just stuck my tongue out at it and went back to bed, lol. And another one i was levitating for alittle bit, that was fun. But ime, once you let go of your fear, be more playful and work on your mind, clean up your body, these things work themselves out. In my aesthetic opinion, by ingesting the result of violence and fear (meat) you're ingesting those virbations and basically inviting negativity into your life. I would be curious to see what would happen if you took someone having "entity issues' from kunlun on a yogic "pure vegetarian" diet and had them recite loving prayers and refrain from watching any violent or scary TV or movies(like that trailer Trunk posted ) or any harsh music. EVERYTHING we ingest effects us after all, not just through the mouth but through the ears, eyes, nervous system, etc. Remember the three chinese monkey? Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil. Good lesson, especially for those doing spiritual practices And honestly I wouldn't even bother with Chia's sexual stuff. Learn the vajroli mudra, thats the real deal imo. The Chia stuff as I understand it works with trying to "hold back" ejaculation, but usually u just weaken the muscle contractions (or so was my and others I know who tried it experience). The point, imo, is to retain the sexual energy and arousal. If you lose an erection after orgasm (or your energy is diminished) then you've done it wrong. Plus it deals with all this "peaking" and playing around, trial and error and such. I personally just find it easier to practice vajroli until I get it and then when it comes to a sexual experience I won't have to worry about gauging my arousal, i can just let go and have fun worry-free. But whatever. Re-Kunlun again, I really think people were giving away too much of their power to the practice. Imo We're all gods with amnesia and all we're doing through raising our awareness is remembering who we are (which was the point of red phoenix, rapid "re-enlightenment"). If you want a free version of the red phoenix go check out "Supreme Master Ching Hai" (so gaudy ) or http://www.santmat.net/ Again they're both about re-enlightenment which is a good start down the spiritual road, although they REQUIRE a vegetarian/vegan diet along with other moral rules which I STRONGLY agree with. It helps protect you from the problems many people had with kunlun (imo). -Astral
  25. Minor Electric Current?

    So weird thing. After running the "Small Universe" (SFQ) for a few days I did a 30 hour "dry fast" no fluid or food just to see how it'd effect me. Needless to say I was sorta bed-ridden which is why I broke it, however after breaking it with some watermelon I've been having the same symptoms I had with sponstaneous movement qigong, except it's like...more constant. When I would do SQ I would get these kinda "mini orgasms" in my spine, where the energy would intensify really strong, then die out(causing spastic outbursts) but i'd have alot of them in a row; felt like electric "shocks". Now it feels like there's a "current" running through me, a constant flow of energy that's rather uncomfortable. It feels like i have too much energy in my body and it's not the kind I can use up through exercise (maybe it's not ATP?), it's just like...idk, like a small voltage of electricity running through me. It feels like it's "stretching" me out, really kinda uncomfortable, but i'm curious so i'm trying to stick it out. Anyone ever experience anything like this? -Astral
