I'm happy to have found your forum. I have become increasingly involved with Taoism since I began studying Taijiquan and Qigong a couple of years ago. I find your discussions lively and you cover many topics which I am interested in learning about. I do have questions, but will happily follow the protocol and wait my turn!

Hi everyone! I'm a 38-year-old guy in Melbourne, Australia. Have been working on my energy states ever since I first ran into strifes in puberty, but had until recently never come across a community that understands the importance of this. I'm very open-minded and very focussed on sorting out my life - on remaining present and keeping my powerful self accessible at all times. This has led me to all sorts of experiences in nature and in physical training. However, I haven't been ready to take in what Tao and alternative practices can do. Simply put, I have let myself be swept along by western society, being stuck in my head most of the time. Only a few months ago, I finally realised that the wisdom within me is not in my mind, but all throughout my body. I started really connecting with my subconscious, to really start working with the subconscious rather than trying to understand everything on a mind level. This has led me to more powerful and efficient progress than anything else, and in a very short time span. I hope to be able to open my heart to everyone here and unlearn as much as possible of the conditioning that has seen me stuck in a rut for so long. This is already happening, and I'm looking forward to sharing my thoughts and feelings with you all. Paul 0 0 0

Hello, My name is eYen. I found some interesting discussions on here and look forward to participating. My background is in Henan Shaolin Wushu, kinesiology with a focus on biomechanics and exercise physiology, and somatic movement therapy and education. I work with highly sensitive people who struggle with stress, overwhelm, pain, and chronic injuries - and help them develop sustainable fitness strategies. I am very interested in how modern sciences and healing arts are explaning and layering on new meaning to the ancient movement, healing, and alchemical arts. All my best, eYen
