tao stillness

Yes, Ron Teeguardian formulas are high quality and have been tested by my medical clairvoyant. I have used some of them a few years ago but my system just does not register any effects. That does not mean that they were not effective, just means I did not notice any benefits. But Tonic Alchemy is a great green powder to consume and my intuitive did test that one too. The Teeguardin catalogue is a quality work of art worth reading about these herbs. But to figure out on one's own which formulas to use would be a trial and error deal that I would not recommend doing. The staff at Teaguardin's store in Santa Monica, CA will consult over the phone to help pick a formula. I did that once and the person Rx the same formula that my medical intuitive had Rx. I had asked her which is the best formula for people who do chi kung. Dragonherbs.com.

S.S., what a great choice of doing the warm up meditation 50 10 50 as I feel such a strong energy sensation from that one. I should go back to doing that one since I let it go when I recently learned some more FP meditations on other volumes. Your experience does again show that there is more to FP chi kung than meets the eye. Plus the energy behind intention.

Sifu Terry, I admire your diagnostic acumen and Rx for the fellow with asthma. I would suggest that he consult with an authentic medical clairvoyant who literally can see the sources of ailments, including the psychological causes. In the man's description I also hear possible prenatal or delivery traumas and/or past life suffocation issues. The birth is the junction point between a past life and the current life issues that will develop. I know this stuff sounds strange but this has been part of my training to think in these terms and then have it validated when I have performed past life therapy. It' always karmic in nature. I have also heard people speak about how their severe depression was healed so quickly from receiving the Oneness Blessing energy healing from the Oneness movement of Sri Bhagavan. Removing these obstacles will be well worth the effort to then be able tap the gold mine from Flying Phoenix Chi Kung. This man has the motivation to move beyond his current setbacks. That is great. Steve

Thanks for the reply Lloyd. I will have to set aside time to learn 70 50 20 10. I have been enjoying doing 60 70 40 5 which I learned last month after reading your experience of it. When I do that one and the hands come back into the prayer position I sometimes can feel a tingling in my third eye so somehow holding the hands in the prayer position 12" from the chest is doing something to the third eye energy circuit. Or maybe not! I have to start doing it even slower than I have been to really feel the energy in the hands more. I have not yet experienced the meditative like state from it that you experience. I get that more from 50 20 10, the Sleeper. At times when really tired and doing the Sleeper right before I go to bed the hands have been moving on their own it seems. Somehow they seem to know where to go.

Lloyd, wow what a great experience that you had. I had a similar experience when I went into a temporary state of enlighment for one night in 1977 when initiated in the TM Siddhi program. As a TM teacher and from my direct experience in 1977 I can tell you from the TM teachings that the state you were in is called Transcendental Consciousness in our system. It is a deeper level of the state called Restful Alertness during TM. You are so relaxed that you transcend, go beyond thoughts and feelings and are just Being. That is our natural state if not for stress in the nervous system. One of the signs that a person is in Transcendental Consc. is that there is no sensation of time. I have had this. The brain is really rested and integrated in this state as there is plenty of brain research on this state now. Were you doing the 60-70-40-5 from vol. 7? I am going to cut and paste your experience to send to my friend and fellow TM teacher who recently went into Awakening. He will enjoy reading how people like you can transcend. Your were in the zone all right! That is a true higher state of consciousness experience. In our system, the Transcendent does resemble the qualities of the Unified Field vacuum state. Pure energy/consciousness without form which has the potential to manifest into form. The pathless path as Eugene state. The Tao. No one could understand your experience of suspension of time unless they experienced directly. This is really exciting stuff. Steve Steve

Eugene: Wow, that sample from Tao, the 3 Treasures is pretty amazing since it resembles the experiences of people recently achieving Awakening in the Oneness Movement. They report that the small self is gone, the sense of being an isolated, separate individual. They also experience they are in the moment. So kudos to CC and kudos to you for finding this writing and sharing it. And to Sifu Terry I would ask if we are expecting too much from FP to give us this state of Awakening? If so, do you know of any Taoist method which is accessable to us for this since the Oneness Meditation energy is working for my friends but not for me. I also want to comment on the astral traveling that you described doing. I recently took level 2 of Ama Deus energy healing from the Amazon Rain forest tradition in Brazil. One of the methods we were taught is for visiting others while we sleep. I keep forgetting to try it bc I fall asleep. Steve

As a "normal psychotherapist" beginning my career 40 years ago, I have to agree with Eugene that psychotherapists are not much help with problems while on the path. They have no map and do not know the terrain from their personal experience. I just proved that this afternoon while on a first and last date with a therapist. I was explaining someone's behavior in very simple astrology trait terms and I could see by her expression that I had lost her. So I had to dummy down and speak in psychological terms. Check please! It was a very quick lunch, lol. However, there are a series of books written by the only enlightened psychiatrist that I know of, David Hawkins, MD. His own story is amazing and his writings are fascinating. He claims to be able to tell what level of consciousness you are at just by doing muscle testing. And he describes people's behaviors in terms of his consciousness scale. Makes for great reading. He is able to back test to determine consciousness levels of historical figures such as Buddha, Jesus, etc.

I also want to report that since doing the first 2 meditations on vol. 5 of Flying Phoenix and 2 meditations from Vol 7, plus 2 static meditations from the Doo Wai family tradition which are not part of FP, I have been having noticeable heightened intuition that happened so quickly after learning these meditations. To me this is tangible experience that FP does indeed open energy centers. As a result, there are less surprises now in my daily life. A former girlfriend for instance visited me unexpectedly a few weeks ago even though I had not seen her since early feb. I sensed she was troubled by something which she denied so I just rattled off what my gut was feeling and I was right on. I have done this on multiple occasions now. And the other day I just had the feelling that her new boyfriend who suffers from pathological jealousy was going to cause trouble. Sure enough the other night the phone rang and a man that I do not know, only by name, started verbally attacking and threatening me. It was him. No surprise. So good stuff is happening from FP.

Sifu Terry, When I read about lucid dreaming I always associate it to the experience of witnessing which is having some degree of pure consciousness where the thinking part of the mind is declutched from consciousness and you are observing. It is an experience that is hard for me to put in words. I have had this in the waking state when initiated in Patanjali's yoga sutras with the missing secret simple technique that was restored by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi so that the sutras could then work. I also had this witnessing awareness once after sleeping in my pyramid tent in 1976. A plastic tent creating with the dimensions of the Pyramid of Giza but obviously scaled down! I would emit blue energy from my finger tips while in the tent with all of that chi. And when my dog was in there while I meditated I knew exactly where she was when walking around bc I could feel her energy field touching my energy field and when I opened my eyes I could see a blue aura around her paws when she walked. Anyway, one morning I was watching my brain wake up while I was asleep but sitll aware. So I think this is akin to lucid dreaming but I was not dreaming at all. If the witnessing state remains 24/7 and is permanent, in TM system this is called the first stage of Enlightenment known as Cosmic Consciousness. Lucid dreaming is brought on by doing things to make it happen, witnessing comes from purification of the nervous system thru deep meditation and it cannot be brought on by doing anything to make it happen. So there are obvious differences. Your mentor then is living? Steve

She will just have to wait in line with the rest of them, I guess. LOL! But now I do wonder just how much FP practice it would take to pull that off? I bet Sifu Terry could drawn her in.

Sifu Terry, I do enjoy your sense of humor. My people will get in touch with your people about the testimonials. In the meantime I find that you do not even have to leave your house for the Flying Phoenix energy to have an effect on women. This week I was meeting more than my share of women online and then when I would talk to them on the phone this instant intimacy just developed that really surprised me. It was happening with each woman that I contacted and they intitiated it. I had to back out of meeting some of them because the phone calls cut into my Flying Phoenix time. We all have our priorities. I never would have thought that I would pass up a date in order to stay home! And this comes from a life long bachelor. The Tao is not so still afterall!

Sifu Terry, I can hardly wait for those seminars to start rolling in! The research from the brain wave coherence at Amherst, MA was done in part by checking out brainwaves of meditators in Fairfield, IA who did not know when the TMers were doing their meditation programs in Amherst. When the Amherst group did the program the Fairfield subjects showed the most brain wave coherence. There is no time and space distance barriers to the unified field of Consciousness. The TMO has pubilshed the most scientific research on this with their studies done over years in Atlanta, GA. And in reply to Eugene. I salute your dedication. Yes, where this is a will there is a way. I wanted a more balanced lifestyle which includes dating so I have had to sacrifice my personal time to meet my social needs. But believe me, I continue to be in a conflict between my values and when I am not enjoying a date I do say to myself, "I could be home doing chi kung instead of this relationship stuff" which is really no more than going out to dinner, going home to be intimate.That too gets old. But chi kung remains fresh!

I envy you guys that are doing hours of chi kung each day. I am just wondering, do you not work? How is anyone able to devote 3-4 hrs doing energy work if you are employed?

This gives a new meaning to the Kmart blue light specials!

Hello Sifu Terry, You have made a very important suggestion about practicing FP in groups. It is now scientifically proven that the energy field produced from group practice such as meditation is more than the sum of the number of people in the group. It actually is the number of people squared. I was part of the first experiment in group energy effects conducted by the Transcendental Meditation Organization in 1979 when we had 3,000 people at the U. of Mass. doing the TM Siddhi program together at the same times for the whole summer. The largest effect was when the group after doing TM then did the "flying sutra" and levitated together. So it just makes perfect sense that the benefits to the individual doing FP chi kung in a group would be that much more because of the enhanced energy field in the room. It creates documented brain wave cohesion. Everyone's nervous system gets in synch, hence "Unified Field" is produced and radiated out. Since the FP people cannot gather like this under one roof, how about an experiment where we as individuals agree to meet at the same specific time to do FP and see what we experience from that? Steve

Hi Lloyd, You could put your question to the test by doing a video of yourself doing FP as Sifu Terry has suggested to see the blue light. And speaking of past lives and chi kung, my trusted psychic answered my question about the source of my fascination with chi kung. She can go to the Akashic Records to answer those kind of questions and she saw me in a Shaolin type temple in ancient China in the 1500's doing marital arts and she even was able to tell me the name I then had. I trust her info because I have used her services since 1994 and almost all of her predictions for me have come true, including the predticted time frame. Steve

Hi Lloyd, Being able to perceive the light from FP speaks volumes about how evolved your nervous system must be. I think the light from FP practice is probably in every practitioner"s spot where they do FP but it takes heightened awareness to perceive it. I would say that it is safe to say you did a lot of inner cultivation work in previous life times and it sure seems to be paying off now. We sometimes forget that all we do now can also pay off on other levels since Consciousness is eternal. Steve

My take on this is that like attracts like. So higher vibrating energy will always resonate with similar energy. So the higher Beings are drawn to their Breakfast of Champions, which is the soma. And if we produce that from our practices, then the Light draws them to us and they feast upon the energy.

Well, I just did my initial meditation 4 on volume 7 of Flying Phoenix and there was quite an unmistakable sensation of strong chi in the hands. Very powerful stuff and once again, so easy to learn and do.

Thanks Sifu Terry for answering how many reps on that meditation which I later discovered just by watching all of your demo instead of this morning being too hasty to learn it right before I had to leave work so I never finished the whole demo. So now I am going to do 60 70 40 5 with the breath sequence and I realize that due to my unique nervous system I might not have the same experiences as Lloyd or other people at this time. I also find your adadge to CC: "the pain is in the resistance", to be a profound lesson for all of life. One of the major teachings of the avatar that I follow is "fully experiencing what is." And to resist what is, causes suffering. Steve

LLoyd, How many repetitions are done for 60 70 40 5? Steve

Thanks for that inspiring answer LLoyd. While in the shower this morning the thought came to me that I have been doing 50-20-10 on volume 7 before I go to sleep now for the last several months so I should learn the rest of the meds on that volume. And then when I read your endorsement of those meds it was the perfect answer since TM stopped taking me to deep levels over 2 yrs ago due to stress in the heart chakra effecting the brain so the mind is no longer settling down enough in meditation to perceive subtle energy so i am not transcending thoughts any longer so I have been seeking a method to bring back that meditative state. I am grateful for your description of what you have been experiencing from volume 7.

Lloyd, Which volume is 60 70 40 5? Is that vol. 7, I hope since I have that one but have only done the one for deep sleep on that volume. Steve

CC, that is an encouraging report and a testimony to the healing benefits of chi. I turned down a date for this afternoon due to my affections being directed elsewhere. Namely, volume 5 of Flying Phoenix Chi Kung, lol. I really wanted to learn the rest of those short but powerful meditations today and I just have one more to learn, but the night is young. I would like to list the beautiful names of the first four meditations on that volume: White Crane Folds Wings; Phoenix and Dragon Play; Lift Earth to Heaven; Dragon Emerges from Cave. Based on what my medical intuitive saw from these meditaitions, it can be said that the name of each meditation pretty much describes what each meditation accomplishes in terms of chi/energy. So the chosen names are not just this random flowery poetry that someone in the Doo family lineage assigned to the meditations. The names are symbolic depictions of what can be expected from doing these meditations. There are so many gifts packed into these short meditations. BIg surprises sometimes come in small packages! Gratitude to the Doo family lineage and Sifu Terry Dunn.

Hi CC, Of course I cannot answer for Sifu Terry but as far as the chi releasing blockages I would say that is the essence of what Traditional Chinese Medicine is all about! That is what it is designed to do since TCM believes all illness is due to an imbalance in energies so it moves stuck energy and that restores health. That is just one example of what the chi does. But what I am impressed about is that you are so fortunate to be able to directly experience the chi at work. After 6 yrs of chi kung I still can only feel chi in my hands when I do the movements and nothing afterward when the session is done. Speaking of which, I have just learned the first FP med on vol. 5 and I would really enjoy hearing the experiences of all you guys out there who have done vol. 5 meds. What have you experienced from these "amazingly simple" meds? What can I expect to experience from them? CC you get to directly experience chi kung working for you whereas I have to consult my medical clairvoyant who just by thinking the name of the meditation or the breathing sequence numbers can literally see in his consciousness what each meditation is doing for me. I will share what he has said about these powerful meds after the rest of you guys familiar with vol. 5 share what you have eperienced then we will compare notes. Steve
