Liufeng Sibi Posted March 4, 2010 Heya,  i like the Tao, been 'on the path' for over a decade  Funny that i could say so much, yet there's not much to say at the same time.  So here we are -  I'll keep on checking out these pages and we'll see what discussions we get into.  A bit about my current study -  Guan Ping Yang Taiji, Kuo/Guo lineage, 3rd generation Chen lao jia with a student of Chen Xiao Wang  In Illinois i studied with 2nd and a 1st generation Temple style Yang teachers  This stuff takes a lifetime, seems like we might as well enjoy the ride  i've heard, read a lot about 'real' chi power and have yet to see anything truly extraordinary, though i have felt and witnessed some intriguing moments  One thing i have read and since apply is to do these practices with no attachment to result  i hold the Wilhelm/Baynes translation of the I Ching in high regard as a constant source of wisdom  i look forward to broadening my connection to true humanity and vitality here and on my other travels, and wish you all the same!  -Liufeng Sibi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
