  2. Classical Chinese view is much more flexible I feel than you think it its... and -as said- it is not a "once said it is the truth and the only truth" - we have models here to play with... If you look at Chinese medicine and the 5 elements... usually people know of the nourishing cycle and the destroying cycle... but looking closely the is a counterdestroying cycle as well... a general view might be that the soft overcomes the hard... but is the hard is pathologically hard the soft can get weaker... Fire can melt metal... but metal which heating point does not get reached won't be melted! Water can "kill" the Fire... but Fire can "kill" the Water as well... depending on circumstance... Metal can cut the wood... but if metal is weak or wood too strong the metal will get damaged in the process of cutting... all I want to say possibly is: be more flexible! just a thought... H
  3. Yin Yang and 5 Phase "theory" is a wonderful phaenomenological approach... by observing nature, human interactions etc. things were described in relation to each other and one can indeed utilize these "theories" for "real world" approaches ("an ideal way to view the world")... before arriving at the way we utilize them today there have been many trials... and adaptations of the theories... so the theory was shaped by observation and after that reutilized to describe phenomena... your example is more an interesting example to have in order to make the Yin Yang approach understandable... first of all: I doubt that Taoist would forget the friction involved! pushing up the ball up the hill and the ball then running down is an example of showing why it is said: at the maximum of Yin it becomes Yang (or = Yang begins) and then the ball rolling down we have it speeding up (and you sure know that if the ball with speed would hit a car it would do so with much more destructive force then the ball without and that would equate to Yang becoming more strong -"more Yang"- in the process of rolling down... but then: keeping friction in mind the ball at one time becomes less speedy -more slow- again and we see the beginning of Yin again... now: when the ball comes to a stand still one might be led to start a discussion if this then is maximum Yin or actually Balance between Yin & Yang... I assume there would be arguments for both... just a thought H
  4. JuuuuHUUUUUUUUUUUUU - Brion will be there Sooooo goood to know... but to be honest... with the years I am really getting serious look out Harry
  5. thank you Michael, I myself very much look forward to meet you again the Monday will stay a weak spot for the time to come... but I hope to get your DVDs soon and that they can help me a little make up for the loss of not being there... sending smiles Harry
  6. Greetings into the night :-) will be there in Finland... plane arrives early morning 1 o'clock on Saturday and I likely will book the hotel at the airport for a few hours (I mean: a room there ;-) ). Intend to rent a car to possibly leave latest at 7 o'clock... so in case anyone wants to join it would be great if we could share... only thing... due to job issues I can't be there on Monday and have to take the 18.35pm flight on Sunday from Helsinki... so I have to leave on Sunday earlier than most of you... just in case though anyone else shares the same "problem" let me know and we could share the trip back to the airport by car... thankx Jukka for the infos with smiles Harry
  7. White Eyebrows - Red Dragon Hei Gung Practice

    Thank you Sifu Garry, does this then mean that they are not meant to be practiced at the same time? :-) Harry
  8. White Tiger Heavenly Healing System "72 levels"

    so I add in my recent question at the other topic in here as well... what about a comparison to the Red Dragon you just put out? Harry
  9. White Eyebrows - Red Dragon Hei Gung Practice

    Dear Sifu Garry, can you tell us a little how this one Red Dragon fits in with the Heavenly Healing meditations you just released? sincerely Harry
  10. To those who might be interested: This http://www.eat.energyawareness.org/ has turned out to be one of the most amazing trainings and very very useful in day to day life. I have done so many things in the last 17 years but a lot turned out to be little useful. If the premise of this training here is true (and at the moment I am willing to believe it) then I might have saved myself a lot of unnecessary spending of money and training... though "unnecessary" doesnt mean that it wasn't useful and helped me become who I am today with the experiences that all the time were involved. sincerely Harry

    Great you are back on track! zeroing is a little like 'zapping' Harry
  12. Energy Awareness Training

    Hi Chris, the last word isn't out yet for this... I am up high up in the north. My last try had to be cancelled due to the size of the room being too small... should I manage to find a bigger space then the question is if Michael is still up for it. But if you look at my life: for the next two-and-a-half monthes I have no spare weekend due to getting medical ongoing training... and during the week I work from 7.30 til 6 in the evining (I have a midbreak but this does not leave the opportunity to travel to the next major cities to check places)... I haven't said that the practices learned in these seminar replace any other practices... I have just said that they are the most useful. What you learn here takes away the guess work... bottom line of what they say is: your energy body know better what it needs for you than your mind... and how many of us have the trouble of making decisions? Do I do this or that or better this... oh wait: there is this AND that... aaaaaaaarrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhhh... actually so far I have not seen ANY training develop this ability of deciding according to ones energy bodies "knowing" in such a step by step manner... AND: I suppose EVERYBODY can use the most basic methods IMMEDIATELY. It really takes away the guess work... and it makes one understand why one lacks in certain abilities, certain strengthes etc. etc. etc. and what and how to develop it. If you ask me it is a well worth ADDITION to ANY other training... and can only benefit it... ah: one instance possibly not: if your energy body tells you by the methods utlized that your current practice is not what you need... then sure: it does not benefit the practice you are doing but it benefits YOU yourself... helping you make new decisions much more beneficial for you. Again all this just being true if one accepts the premise that your energy body knows best. smiles Harry
  13. Energy Awareness Training

    The typical ups and downs I assume Thankx for noticing and responding... still doing KAP? Things are indeed getting better and better... One sometimes wonders why it takes sooooooooooooo blushing looong to get to a place where one understands more and more, lets go more and more, enjoys more and more, becomes less reactive more and more... and then suddenly: bummer: back to zero as it seems but never zero again actually: to me its like starting at zero on a new level every so often. I have finally established some kind of regular practice... not yet there where I wish to be... but quite at ease I will get there. One really has to work on creating the possibilities of even doing that... and life has its way to counteract! I have always wondered about all the talk of "you yourself" creating your own miserabilities or fortunes of "your" future... all this "create the life you want"-talk... with the training I did (mentioned above) I think I am a big step closer to actually realizing the impact I (indeed) have, aside from the obvious like drinking wodka in excess and knowing my head will hit the floor a thousandfold the next morning Hope everything's fine on your side of the ocean smiles Harry
  14. Energy Awareness Training

    I bump this up one time as I consider this training so useful! If the basic assumption is true the methods learned in the basic and advanced trainings help you to choose the most beneficial places for you to be most beneficial teachers for you to choose most beneficial practices for you to do etc. to simply make the most beneficial decisions for you in any area of your life the methods learned surpass basic kiniseology and help you build a most prosperous future in the long run if you listen to what your developed energy awareness is telling you. Stop listening to authorities... follow your inherent knowledge... sounds like advertisement? Probably... but again: I have been doing two trainings now and I consider all learned most beneficial and practical. No nonsense talk: direct experience. Go for it... just my thoughts. No further bumping up of this topic from my side... ascending smiles Harry
  15. Stillness-Movement Neigong Review

    [quote name='center' date='14 July 2011 - 07:41 PM' timestamp='1310668916' post='273766' My interest has been in the medical program that's offered, due to the reported effectiveness. But that's another thing that turns me off from the program...you have to pay 1000 upfront, then go pay a couple hundred for multiple other seminars? That's a lot of money. ??? Wanna go to college but don't pay college fees? Wanna apply for university but don't wanna pay the fees either? Wanna study TCM but don't wanna come up for the thousands and thousands you got to pay at private school? Is it different? You decide

  17. Tips for dealing with night sweats?

    Don't want to be the bad guy in here... but really: get a proper check by a western physician FIRST to rule out the most problematic stuff... if tests turn out fine just feel happy with a Chinese Medical treatment... if not it helps in addition if not exclusively. But FIRST know then deal with it in order not to mask a possibly serious symptom! sincerely Harry
  18. http://blog.energyawareness.org/science-and-politics/bad-medicine-attacks-herbal-remedies/ EU gives a poisoned May Day gift to its citizens - makes herbal remedies ILLEGAL EU May Day Ban on Herbal Remedies Happy May Day! . . .which is not so happy for the citizens of Europe. Today, on labour day, all across France, friends, neighbours and loved ones will give each other the time-honoured May Day gift of a pot or sprig of beautiful Muget (Lily of the Valley) as a token of appreciation and well-wishing for the coming year. A tradition said to have begun when King Charles IX of France was presented with these fragrant flowers as a token of luck and prosperity for the coming year; who then began the custom of presenting Muget to the ladies of his court each year on May 1st. Sadly, the new 'King,' the European Commission, isn't such a benevolent personage and is giving a very unpleasant May Day 'gift' this year to all its citizens. Through its Traditional Herbal Medicine Products Directive it is, effectively, making illegal, simple herbal remedies such as St John's Wort, Hawthorn, Milk Thistle, Horse Chestnut, Valerian, Echinacea and many many more, including ayurvedic and traditional Chinese Medicine remedies, as well as combination herbal remedies and those with significant vitamins and minerals in them. All things many of us routinely take. But, unless herbal manufacturers can comply with expensive, onerous and, in many cases, discriminatory and impossible to meet 'licensing' criteria the herbal remedies they produce or sell will be prohibited and no longer able to be sold. i.e. you will no longer be able to get or use them. Take Action against the ban on herbal remedies Read our view on this insidious EU directive here (herbs are just the beginning by the way . .) Bad Medicine Attacks Herbal Remedies and use the links there to take action today. Avaaz have already collected almost half a million signatures in just two days (only 1 million needed according to Article 11 of the EU Treaty on Citizens' Initiatives) and the ANH have got permission for a judicial review in the UK High Court which they intend to progess to the European Court of Justice. Please like the article, also put it on your Facebook page, tweet and re-tweet it, email it. The power of viral democracy is considerable in the war against the 'post-democratic' rule of multi-national corporations and their allied political interests.

    Good day and thankx for the posting, I am fully with you to certain extent ... without Chia I might have not started but also: without the books I might have not messed up myself so much initially... but today I tend to take full responsibility instead of just blaming others. What I think though "Trunk" is right about: they still seem to sell material that is outdated! And an evolving system shouldn't, or? It does not make sense to lay a wrong foundation and only in much later material maybe show how to do it different... but I can be wrong about that. But at the end of the day I do think that this all is not about Chia but about flaws in the way things are still to be found out there in book stores today. There sure are gems in this system... but today after going through like 20 years of "searching" I feel there are systems much easier, more approchable and less problematic overall... there are more troublesome as well for sure again: I might be wrong about that. smiles back Harry

    To Little 1 and all who read this thread: please accept my open apology! I contacted the named friend and while our talk is just like 3 monthes ago and was very vivid and her speaking like it was a very recent experience she replied to my further inquiry that she was just speaking from memory of what was like 12 years ago and can't even remember exactly what else there actually was aside from sleeping disorders... Next time I make things more sure before typing a serious smily Harry
  21. Unfortunately this is not the same here in Germany as stated further up in my "Kampo-mail"... registered health care practitioners with a degree who up until recently could prescribe can't any longer certain formulas... and what tends to happen is: if they manage to stop you having your foot in one door they work their ways through to closing many more... just a thought Harry

    Please give me some time... I don't want to recite from pure poor memory but would like to verify with her first... she is in the states right now, if I remember right, and I will be off for continued training for a week... as soon as I know I PM you... I don't know about possible flaws in transmission... but what I by now feel is: people talk so much about: "this is the end of secrets"... there "should be no secrets" etc. and then you have people googling recipes for building bombs and they find it... as things are shared freely. I personally do not think Chia ever intended to hurt someone... but the techniques he shares, be there a flaw in them or not, DO have the potential to hurt people... and while I personally strongly AM with people who think that people should be able to look after themselves and make healthy decisions for themselves I just know that many can't and WILL be hurt by what others share... and this is not specific to Chia... but I feel the Healing Tao is a big business thing as well and individual care and observation just can't be given by those who should... and I feel many of the Healing Tao instructors just can't cut it to be of the calibre to do what they are supposed to do! And then having people practice that stuff from books... you DO know how few actually have a sensible relationship to their body like you seem to have had... lucky you! always good to have an exchange with you... even though it got more seldom... with smiles Harry
  23. Unfortunately the situation is even worse, my friend... as you know I have a medical background... not too long ago I started training in Kampo... Japanese Herbal medicine... and as it is health practitioners (not MDs though) already can't prescribe certain powerful formulas as one or two key herbs already got "banned"... without these herbs the formulas have lost their effect... pretty clever move by government and likely pharmaceutical industry reps... and MDs arent there enough practicing that kind of medicine... so I see German pharmacy stores not being interested in making those formulas in the future as it won't mean beneficial profit compared to what to invest... And taking the power away from people has already been going on in the backgrounds for years... I DO hope enough people will sign against these laws happening further. I do hope... Harry
