    Oh yes, and if NAJA do anything we just give warning to SOG first and threat NAJA to ban SOG first for the words she said. Let it become we forgive but not forget. Beside..... tell her to give back the Nine Yin Manuals and the 18 Dragon Subdueing Palms.
  4. Is the TTB exhausted yet....?

    All on tight practise shedule- like playing tetris. As well if one practise one gain insights and insights are gathered through lifetime. Actually those who are already here represents most of the popular styles, while those who are in hidden styles are forbidden to tell and some things are had been already presented in the one or other form. Great news arent here as most are not try different methods in short time period and compare it with others. Those who do testing various things seem to settle down as they slowly find what they have seeken and those who want test different things are either too busy or do not have the finance to do so. Else repeating the learned stuff over and over again doesnt give many practioner a deeper understanding, else there would be much talk about realisation one gained by just repeating a technique or finding flaws, correction and refinement for an existing one.
  5. What are you listening to?

    Gu Zhen and modern Pop
  6. If they are Falun People they mean no contest or harm as the roots of the teaching is Zhen, Shan, Ren = Truth, Benelovence and Tolerance. Argueing who is most powerful is a question one do not really consider as it is seen as cultivationmethod to go beyond the three worlds and cultivation in society the Big Way in combination with the exercise the Small way and the help of a Falun for 24/7 cultivation. Alone the theoretic comparism tell that one do not need seclusion and full time meditation or speciality to cultivate successful. DE/ Virtue as substance is something consider more precious in alignment with Zhen, Shen and Ren and is holding higher value than abillties which are sealed until the time all is activated and it is the right time to do so. As using a skill is costing energy credits and overuse may even close and make it difficult to open in a second approach. Actually the time when I learned it, it was say to abide the countries rules and stay away from politics. It is a question who is using the Falun Group. Groups that has a considerable amount of members are really likely to be infiltrated, especially when the teaching cause firmness in believe. As well they have their own community which share their interest and are well aware that they are not welcomed everywhere in puplic so being observant is something one do develop which is true to all who follow a way which is consider strange in the eyes of the society and enviroment one is.
  7. Gift of the Tao II Neigong Movements

    One need just intent which is like a command. As one is in this lineage shielding and that way had been granted by the transmission one received so visualisation is not needed as it is there but has to be take care of from time to time by doing shiedling. If one do not not know one do as often, if one do listening one do as it is proper. Actually it is common sense whenever one is in a rough enviroment and dealing with harmful, dangerous, aggressive things, humans and before doing practise and at places where energy vibration is low and or has sick qi, energy of decay and disorder, The shielding and the food blessing is to keep the status quo of ones own high vibration on the same level so that one not get pulled down. In practise energybody expands and one shines and this may attract not welcomed entities. Cloaking as mentioned serves the purpose that one do not attract such beings. While sleep one can be vulnerable to attacks and never know when the council send you "test your shielding tasks" or other sorts of tests.

  10. Huii Chun Gong - who knows it?

    You may need to read Bian Zhizhong "Daoistische Übungen für die Gesundheit". It is a collection of exercises. One has to be careful when people start to add Qi into it and do not mention Bian Zhizhong and not mention that the exercise aim on the endocrine system and let important facts in exercise description when it concern the gonads and the stimulation of named acupuncture points, this is a big alarm raise in my head if such things are missing. If he can answer this questions, the next thing is the claim of Hui Chung Gong is to make one gentle beautiful and youthful in appearance and very free hip because of the nature of this exercises with very smooth motion when doing small motions. No shiny face and eyes are careful to take then one watch if the breathing is soft and long. The most important exercise is the first exercise which gave the name the system is called now (I dont know how it is called as each exercise is a stand alone exercise) "Hui Chun" "back springtime" which is to stimulate the gonads and introduce automatic breathing by movement - if one rest the breath. The correct practise one hear as if one hear the air comes in and out but actually no big breathing motion, with nose is pretty difficult but actually the jaw is dropped so mouth is slightly open so the air can come in from the mouth so a sound more like a pump for the bycicle is created. The breathing is cause by the movement in general. (I try and find it difficult and I myself can create this autobreathing but have to rest after some movements, so I fastly loose interest to exercise this as I find it... bothersome. So I expect a teacher can maintain it all the time since a beginner as I stay have to rest after some movement to take normal breath) I find it most interesting that this concept is used in Hsin Tao and I think both are more near the hanging weight exercsie to the Iron Penis Qigong than other categories of Qigong and that it is important to have loose underwear and trousers to exercise the gonads with own weight. I can only said that the Swimming Dragon is especially one of the movements which sure not comes in other schools as the movements are unusual so that even hints are not even found in the Wuxia Industry which takes such forms as inspiration as actuallly Paul Dong acknowledge Gu Long for being one who know the one or other piece of real form which flood into the Demi God Semi Evils. So the chance that Swimming Dragon comes from daoist Huashan Practise is very high but Hua Shan is very plastered with monastry and if there where interaction and practise trade between them since if one is on good terms one share the things one hold dear so they can enjoy the good things also. It might appear that the prayer posture may makes one think that it is buddhist but it is also to mention that Bao Lin Wu who is one of the Longmepai Lineageholders teach the 9 Solar Qigong which use in the last part 1/9 also a prayer posture to create circles. It is mention that Hao Datong http://www.hui-chungong.de/3.html is contributed as founder of this exercise and since he is also a student of Quanzhen Wang Chongyang. Having it coming form Buddhist Temple... who knows, there are some thousand sects.
  11. Huii Chun Gong - who knows it?

    Yes and yes there is a swimming dragon form which is called three circles. It is use to train the lower back so that it becomes flexible. The form comes from Huashan. One has to be careful. Modern teachers have mixed things in and I do not like how it become.
  12. Qigong Teacher Training

    Do I receive free hot Nachos with melted Cheese and hot green sour Jalapenos? I rethink it.... If he was 30 years long student and then have the chance to go to a 2 Days QTT that is awesome for this person, I think its the order of what was before and who is teachers is.
  13. Avoiding takedowns & then ... other videos.

    You forget something, Jenny Lamb (Yi Gong) also is in this movie. Here I remember because of this: http://thetaobums.com/topic/21131-sifu-jenny-lamb-lecture-clip-great/#entry303042
  14. Avoiding takedowns & then ... other videos.

    Uhm I did Wing Tsun in the past, later they add this Selfdefense Stuff in, see above the stance is above with palms facing forward while traditional having a Pak Sau and Wu Sau Next thing is if one goes into the Selfdefense pose it serves as Fence which is covered defense posture or as attack posture which as gesture function as to say keep distance, calm down which is giving one favour in the eyes of withnesses. Also takedowns never occur on such distance as those who use it know the dangers. So using provocation and sneaking near than kicking distance and then attack. Also it happens in seconds so one may miss the the momentum. But well.... takedowns are very vulnerable against rabbit punches and forward sideway step with turn against the back of the head is kind of deadly if the perfomer can precisley hit C1. There is no need of so many chain punches. Each punch should be deadly. (But well Ng Mui had Iron Palm.... )
  15. I tell you in mmorpg we had the simulation with money. Instead of making it reasonable people strive for greatest profit with even insane amounts. My friend who also play this game is one of the main culprit who even burst the maxium amount one can transfer. I told him to stop doing this things as we all want a enjoyable game and not spending much time on grinding. He said "The others do it as well, I would be dumb if I do not do the same, else I would have a disadvantage against all those cheater and botters. As well the game is so." I still can kick his ass for letting me grinding a half year for a piece of armor. It took him 2 weeks to cause a super inflation. Which cause new players avoid, and old player quit, sell their account or goind to hiatus or starting a new mmorpg game. Still there are people who are willing to pay. (creating money.... something that also happens in the real, the gold amounts doesnt fit the real paper money anymore. Even jewish have a time where they reset this system) Also people start to go use the money to monopolize and only buy to cause a new hype. To be modern people are jumping on the train to be hip. I think there should be a limit to how much people are allowed to own and control on usury.
  16. Baolin Wu - 9 Palaces practice discussion

    What would have happend if she had not smoke and drink coffee and exercised Qigong with that body. What a waste of potential! Videotapes......what age we now.
  17. Indeed there is seperation. Numbers are there from ancient times of use of numerolgy, astrology and divination. Some number are auspicious and they choice is made from this. I think there has to do something with affirmation and making the subconcious direct to the goal. If one culitvate one try to use every trick to raise the chances even if one adds to the real effect placebo and lower the nocebo effect. Also if one exercise in groups some like to create some synchronisation to enlarge the group effect of exercise. In group exercise a homogenous state is prefered and each individual change can be considered as disturbance in some groups, like not moving or making sounds. One allign heartbeat, breath and concious state. The teacher is then there to reduce the disturbance with projection and guidance. Another thing is to keep a certain time with the practise especially if one has no idea when what is done. Actually one has do things closing until it is closes and counting 100 and if one is not closed yet then it is ineffective as it is timewaste when one close at 2 while the official says 36, so this is BS if one knows what one do and can observer what is done and when it is done. I actually inherit a Qigong Set privately which have no time or count or even hint when what is seeing as enough. While others have counting breath, heartbeat, orienting at clock,repetition, or just by observation of the energy system.
  18. Another thing is one one have the choice to exercise many things. If one has a plate of foods one has the choice to take what one wants. If there is no choice one takes what one can gets In old times the teachings are guarded and so one get only to know as much as the teacher wants and one keep the knowledge guarded against other schools. Using and exercising teachings of others "can" be used to expell a student when the teacher is strict in thise manner also this counts if one learns from the older students which both get punished... except one learns it correctly and it increase the growth and the student is else is faring well with. Else if one is rich one can afford to learn from many teachers but well traveling was more expensive and troublesome and timeconsuming. And so some let people just stand Horsestance, Santi, sit there still for some hours and naturally filter out the students for the art and hitting while shouting "You need stronger foundation! If your are bored - leave" Actually the teachers at times go around for scouting and one can expect when they choose they want see growth and invest time to observe the growth.
  19. There are different theories. The Wuxing organs follow a different route of direction of massage. When you watch the direction of massage in the circular and reverse clock massage you see that mostly the large intestine which looks like a circle. A greater number in direction is to tonifiying the organ while the reverse direction is to sedate it. If you see the difference 36-24 = 9. I am just asking myself why one not stay in a state of meditation after 36 circles to let the enhanced state work before sedating it with 24 to maintain a 9+ tonify.
  20. Yes sometimes when I eat I think I have a black hole there. What was that with the rabbit hole?
