MessageGood morning,
I have been watching the posts and awesome information has been exchanged. I do however agree that if ones preference is towards or against a specific practice it might be best to inform the other person just so they know all is above board and then they can make a decision for themselves.
I have checked out the kundalini sight as posted earlier. It does have some useful information but is also, in my opinion from my short excursion with them, quite cultish. However for some that is the way for their time. They are also quite involved in $$.
When I first started I flew higher than a kite for over a year and I had a taiji/taoist/qigong "master". He did try to ground me with hourly conversations but it did not do much good. Well, now as I think back on them they do now but not then. I believe that grounding to the earth, having the energy flow thru the earth, grounding the feet to the earth helps so much it cannot even be stressed enough. I was never taught the grounding at all. However Dr. Jerry A. Johnson has some good techniques that he uses in his medical qigong practise for cleansing, for grounding that are awesome. They use these techniques before the healing practices and are very effective. They are tried and true exercises. No hocus pocus, no magik!. Just effective. He is on the web. His exercises are listed in his huge medical qigong book, however I do believe those exercises would be accessible online.
I guess too that one must remember that dao is universal, it does include yoga, it does include weightlifting, it does include calisthenics and it is up to each of us to king of drift within those. But still some things are just known to work and should be used.
Rainbows!
