It will be a good movie.

I noticed that I went off-topic the most of the time, but to be honest firstly I didn't have any idea about what to start with.However as the thread "evolved" new ideas just began to flow and felt to I should continue here even if I were to get off-topic.Anyway you made a point out there and I'll try to focus on small things in the future since the fuzzyness inside my head has been organised a bit.

I see that this topic has many comments from people who seem to have achieved a degree of proficiency in qigong.Could someone please summarize the basic principles of qigong and how it's practice influences a person and what are the benefits of it and of course where do you find a master,and if that is not the case where do you find video sessions of the workouts? Thank you.

Yes indeed it helps.I believe that the best attitude towards the glass of water for instance is a "non-attitude".Who cares if the glass is half empty or half full?If there is too much water you can simply discard it,too little water..? eh you got to think a way to get water. People should leave delusion behind. The problem that I see here is how do you cultivate such attitude so that in the end you will achieve a state of wellbeing?

Haha it definetely sounds exciting.I myself had some moments of deja-vu and a few dreams which actually happened but no chi blasts for me

It's like trying to mix oil and water.One will stay on the surface whist the other will beneath

I'm a true begginer in this field but I think it is premature to talk about what will you do when you'll master chi.How would you understand "mastery in chi"?Revealing your new attained powers will surely draw much attention upon you.It's your call.My last question for you : What do you know about chi till now and what can you do with it?Think about and share it here.

Yes it seems to me now that quality of life is the most important however I can tell you that I am pessimistic about both attitudes towards life(pessimism and "allways look on the bright side of life").And this is not a game of words,and I feel that there is something genuinely wrong about my view.Why shouldn't I be able to see the good in both attitudes? Is this the book? http://www.messagefr...e_Shoe_Fits.pdf .Anyway I'd rather the book was in english so that I could practice more since I speak my native languange all the time I also done that workout the first thing in the morning and I can tell that it's a really good physical exercise t though I could not mimick those moves precisely, but I think in time it will get better. #Yesterday I felt that I got enough on the topic but I forgot the key parts.According to Christianity there is only one life that you get and according to how you act during it you may be rewarded or punished by either going to heaven or hell.At the first glance this statement sounds pretty good, however when I look closer I become intrigued by two facts.The first would be, if I do bad in my life and after death I go to hell , will it be permanent?if it is , it would not sound fair to me since to degree to which you are punished is higher than you deserve.Therefore if you are sent to hell , can you move to heaven or viceversa?The other fact that struck me is how do you asses good and bad?And I can go further , and ask what is good and what is evil?Simply put this binary system would deserve a mental middle-finger

I will take a break, I must go through the information you gave me firstly then I'll think of what's next.What I'm really excited is about one moth happy guy happy land thing I apreciate Edit:I think this thread has served it's purpose for me since I got the quintessence.Is there is still anything to be added please feel free to send me a private message or lay it here.I will most probably start a new thread on a different subject soon.

Yes indeed I have a certain religious backround however I feel that I do not belong to any religion.Anyway I will take a look on those links you provided.

Thank you.It should take a while to grasp the meaning of those lyrics.However I will take your advice and read tao te ching and I hope that I can find it easily. You know there is a little problem.Mr Happy from Happy Town does not seem to me the right thing, even though I might have a perverted view on what happiness really is.There is an issue which arrises from the depths of my mind.How does happiness affect my ability to attain the truth about life and how does knowing the truth affect the extent to which you are happy? They say afterall that ignorance is bliss.Why I am so full of pesimism?I don't know either.So TRUTH or HAPPINESS? Seems to be a nice stretch , good to set you up for the day.I will give it a try definetely !

I have another one : Can god create a shield that he cannot destroy, knowing that he has absolute power? It is an aqward paradox ,.How should you deal with it?The only possible way to deal with it is to basically think in a "languange" in which paradoxes and conflicts never arise.A dilema might arise...What are the basics of such a language? Sorry if I suddenly got to metaphorical.

Yes indeed.I would not try to make an elaborate research upon religions.You were correct anyway, and the real reason that I am here is that I am looking for ways to improve my wellbeing and happiness.The religion part may offer me some answers. Yes their core is the same , however there are many churches cults, priests, gurus,religions and I can say that I am really confused.I want to clear things out if you will Too much "so and so".It took me a little while to understand what you said but it is certainly food for thought.

I do not want to be rude but I did not understand what you said and how it relates to this topic. #Marblehead thank you for the info, I will check it out

I'm not religious either.I'm merely looking for a comparison between religion not in terms of which one is the best but the teachings and basics

What are they talking about there?

Hello , I am new to this forum and I have little knowledge of meditation, chi, and so on.Anyway I have a post in the "present yourself" part of the forum and I stated there some of my issues that I would like to fix.For start I need to calm my mind or meditate and I was told to try to sit in quiet environment and try not to think.Well, I have tried that but it does not work pretty well ,because my mind slips away quite fast.I would like to know in greater detail how to detach from distractions and calm the mind. Thank you!

hello guys! I haven't been posting in a long time but now it seems that I have great problem instead of a little one.I went back to the old habbits and I've lost again my focus and I really don't know what to do,that why I return here to request some help.What I really want is some focus

I found on this forum a sort of guide to some yoga movements Ken Cohen - The Essential Qigong Training Course I found it by typing ying chi vs yanh chi on google but I don't want to go that far yet...Just want to learn the ropes

I should definetely check that book Bring the wicked skills in .Could make great use of them

I should definetely check that book Bring the wicked skills in .Could make great use of them And to be honest, since I started posting on this forum and applying what I have learnt , I didn't even think about the sex aspect

Hello again after 1 day of not posting anything I come now with a rather practical problem but which needs an "immediate" fix.Many times when I go to bed my metabolism is at an elevated rate ( or just my mind is) and that is why I fall asleep quite hard.For instance if I go in bed at 8 am, I might fall asleep at 9 , half-past 9 or even 10.As a consequence when I wake up at 5:30 in the morning (many times I just cannot wake up at that time) I feel extremely tired and also feel depleted all the day which means that I am less motivated to do sports or even learn for example. The bottom line is that I would like to fall asleep quicker (I tried to meditate but the body/mind just didn't diminish it's activity) and hence feel more energetic during the day Thank you!

Many people that I know get angry quite fast and I wonder why I get mad rarely,even if someone picks on me.Shouldn't I respond in a "violent" ( the word is too harsh but I didn't find another one) way?

Hello again! I should have mentioned that stress "removal" is only one thing that I'd like to achieve.For instance I'd like also to manage emotions such as fear and anger so that I do not react irationally,though I am a bit confused since I heard that one should not dismiss his emotions but rather be guided by them or something like that. It is about that "emotional content" talk that you find in Bruce Lee films. In my case emotions happen many times to draw me back anger>>>i'm not angry enough literally...when I get angry it quickly fades away. fear>>>I often get in the situation of being afraid of something and when this happens I often think 100000000 times about what should I do and so on... The bottom line is that many times I happen to be in the situation of being overwhelmed by emotions and just stay there without doing nothing clever, but when the feeling dissapear many solutions stubmle across my mind. The good thing that I'd like to share with you is that I have noticed a slight progress.I have managed to be in a better state of mind,learn a bit quicker and I were able to say "NO" in daily life situations that I would otherwise say "COME TO PAPA" which is good for now. After I become proficient at handling emotions and physical stress I would like pretty much to go deeper and learn how to feel that "qi" or "ying/yang chi" (there is a guy dinamo jack which said that there are 2 types of chi) and so on Thanks again!

Hello again! I am glad that there are people that are willing to lend a hand and I couldn't be happier because all of this ultimately helps me to pursue what I want with greater ease.Of course at the moment I still value the outcome more than the journey itself , but I guess this will change in time.Another couple of things that I'd like to point out are "sorry for any language mistakes!" and "thank you for replying!" (I will use those 2 sentences as my signature from now on ) As for spending money, I won't because there is plenty of information and I believe that this information cannot be attained with money. The real reason behind this post is to share with you the motivation behind my goal.At the moment I have to deal with a lot of stress.I have to thrive in a rather harsh social environment,I also need to rank very well academicaly but the greatest obstacle is the lack of time and being tired most of the time caused by having to wake up every day at 5.30AM in order to get to school in time.In addition I have to get in a good shape,because I want genuinely to look good or above.Those goals,I believe can be achieved with some effort and proper organisation,however I am looking for a way to help me deal better with all that stress and here are my options food > not good , it makes me fat and I need to do the opposite drugs > we all know what happens in the long run reading (novels) > no thanks tv > nope ...lastly meditation > it will help me to be more focused on what I have to do, the stress that is felt is diminished (that's why shaolin guys barely feel pain) smarter choices and a positive attitude towards life in general and used in conjuction with a martial arts programme would be extraordinarily beneficial. So that's it for today.I am very tired right now and I'll go to sleep in a short time.Anyway I think I'll post every day my thoughts and progress so let this topic be my journal Cya
