When you practice the Microcosmic Orbit method, you will come to...

There have been other books that include Dim-Mak, however, these have been sketchy to say the least. Scott attempts to delve deeper into...

Compassion In Action
It has been erroneously assumed by some that concealment of such information, having long been the traditional approach with regard to many past practices, is the wisest choice. This was based upon caveats and protocols which have largely become obsolete and outmoded in our contemporary era of ever-expanding cultural global information-sharing. At their best, the ancient taboos on the revelation of such teachings were conceived out of a respect and a reverence for life, including the safety of...

It is that feeling you get sometimes in the pit of your stomach or on the back of your neck or surface of your skin. That feeling that makes you more alert. Or, that little voice that speaks to you quietly, trying to get your...

Righteous qi the development of inner and outer balance
Chinese yoga and internal martial arts are holistic. Lacking the concept of mind-body dichotomy that has become the cornerstone of Western scientific development, the Taoist philosophers of ancient times intuited that mind influences thought which influences the body and, likewise, that the body influences the mind. Although the language and underlying philosophy differs, Western medical science is now beginning to agree with this philosophy. The ancient Taoists Liu Men-Gen teaches American...
Transpersonal Psychology
The theory of the subconscious as formulated by Freud is familiar to most people today. During meditation, when the mind is in a state of deep relaxation, thoughts and images rise to the surface from the subconscious, allowing awareness to take place.

I believe that qigong training involves much more than just...

The Brain Mechanisms Involved in Qi Energy
Proopiomelanocortin POMC is said to be the origin of physical stamina and of qi energy. When human beings and animals experience stress, the protein POMC is produced in the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland Figure 15-2 . It is then broken down by enzymes into three kinds of small-scale proteins beta-endorphins, adrenocorti-cotrophic hormone ACTH , and the adrenocortical growth-factor. ACTH stimulates the adrenal cortex, resulting in the secretion of adrenocortial hormone, which alleviates...

The First Step is the Last
The pilgrimage into self-healing and self-knowledge, like life itself, presents itself as a successive series of foothills - or perhaps mountains - each unfolding before our gaze as the seemingly final challenge to be surmounted - only to reveal, once we have scaled its summit, a further peak looming upon the horizon. Fortunately, the choice is not ours to make just as we cannot take two breaths at once, nor live two moments together, so, no matter how great the distance or the endeavor to be...
