  1. Names Shen, what's yours? ^_^

  2. Anytime Astralogic, if there is ever any further questions then feel free to ask and I will answer to the best of my ability, and I hear ya on the no money thing, sure slows things down for me too... :)

  3. Hope I was a good help Astralogic, I've shown you a few doors so hopefully one of them is your door! good luck on your martial journey! :)

  4. Big fan of your Celestial Nei Kung! Hope to see a Level III DVD someday... :)

  5. Good news, I'll be beginning Flying Phoenix practice in May via the first 2 DVD's, decided to finally get crackin' with it, :) I feel myself being called to the meditations somehow, strange it's something is telling me that it's my answer somehow. :)

  6. Progress update - All goes well, results are being gained slowly through the training, my abilities are building up a little higher every week. How goes your meditations? :) - Shen

  7. Thanks Da Le, and I'll definately have to listen to that some time, I never would have guessed music could bring one back together like that, glad it helped you so much. :) Warmest regards from the cold, cold north. :) - Shen

  8. I've never heard anything like that before, it's quite fascinating. I'll have to look into the power of such music sometime, I never would have thought to be honest. Oh and to update you on things, I'm studying the first DVD volume now, should be ready to begin my training tomorrow. Warmest regards from the cold, cold north. :) - Shen

  9. Oh I didn't know you were teaching, cool... I hope to do that someday myself, I'm researching longevity and youth maintaining arts and plan to teach those to my older friends someday... :) - Shen

  10. Got my DVD's a day early, looked the beginners one over and it looks tough but certainly manageable with some work. the DVD has a setting to just play a single section of the program and then takes it back to menu when it's done playing the chosen section, I think that should make it much easier to learn. Hope your meditations are going well, warmest regards from the cold, cold north......

  11. Thank you very much for the more in depth information. Hope your training is going well Da Le. :) - Shen

  12. Wow that's cool, thanks for that bit of information. Enlightening as always Da Le. :) - Shen

  13. Thank you for the encouragement Da Le and your right I always have been one to plow right through and never let anything stop me. :) - Shen

  14. Oh and thanks for the mindfulness. With the training regime I'm laying out I'm gonna need all I can get to keep going from the start to the never ending finish. I'll be mindful of yours too Da Le. :) - Shen

  15. Yeah it is what Micheal Winn teaches but I'm going for the DVD with Cheng Bingsong as I read somewhere that Winn made an alteration to the form and I like to have things as close to the original as possible with this stuff. Might also get that DVD on that same qigong by Master Tseng at www.wudangtao.com so that I have another reference on the form. - Shen

  16. Well my DVD's should be in this friday, was thinking after I got a good grip on that as physical training I would add Yang Tai Chi as a gentle internal training to complement it. Just a thought but it might be worth looking into, also thinking of adding Wuji Qigong to it since thats supposed to be the original Tai Chi. :) - James

  17. Well now that must be an interesting feeling. As for the DVD's their not in quite yet I'm afraid, could be in either this friday or the next friday, I only go to town once a week to check things cause I live a ways out. Warmest regards from the cold, cold north to you on your training... :) - Shen

  18. Hello Da Le, any new enlightenments in your meditations as of late? :) - Shen

  19. I'll be happy to report when I've gotten my training going. :) Good luck to you on your lengthy training today. - Shen

  20. Very interesting information, I can see you've collected much over the years. And yeah I can see how without Qigong or an energy enhancing practice your health might have been suffering. That's partially my dillema, I'm still young enough to work through it until my outer body is strong enough to maintain the Qigong stances, another reason for learning Shaolin Gongfu, the strength b...

  21. I thank you very kindly for this wonderful information. :) And I am in awe over your knowledge, you have already taught me quite a few interesting things. It's nice to know more about my sign and the name I seem to resonate with. Also I much like the symbol that goes to Da Le, that looks cool. And it is indeed interesting that Shen has 3 meanings, for years I thought it just meant spirit. -...

  22. Landed in my main folder, thank you very much, very interesting. :) Also I'd like to say just a smidge more about my sign, I am a dragon of the earth and numerically speaking 555 is the number for the earthly realm, so there's one more meaning behind it that I discovered. However before I found that out I always saw 5 as a lucky number for me in life. Funny how things connect like that. :D

  23. Much obliged, hope I can give a good performance when the time comes and MSN is prefered, you should see my email address on my profile. Oh and have a good round of practice Da Le, all the best to you. :) - Shen

  24. Thanks for the tip, I'll be working as hard as I can to get it all down pat and learned thouroghly. And I believe your right Da Le, observing while paying good attention is definately not a waste of time. Also once I've got the forms down decent I was thinking of posting my forms practice up on youtube so poeple can see the progress I make over time with my efforts. :)

  25. Interesting meanings behind your name, and your command of knowledge of the Tao Te Ching is most impressive sir. And thank you very much Da Le for expanding my knowledge on the one I have chosen. :)
