Harvard Scientists Find Proof that Meditation Switches Stress and Immune System Genes On and Off

As long as it's not burning you should be good, I think. And it's happening at the beginning? Sounds natural to me. I'm not an expert like I said though, consult with a teacher.

Just relax thats good it means your doing it right, you just awakened your Kundalini (I hate this word as it implies something intangible and mystical when it's not) welcome brother your learning how to really focus your mind.

(I tried to make this sound as non mumbo jumbo as possible and I'm no expert as everyone experiences this differently)

Thanks brehs, I finished Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind recently and it's helped me more with the overall idea of meditation. Anything else I should read?

is excellent for that purpose.

Guess that means Taoism is next on the list.

it's only so long quacks can pretend. thankfully we live in an era where nobody but dumbasses believes shyt about people setting things on fire with their hands etc.

Thank God for Bullshido.

That's the coolest thing about the IMA man. The way the postures can flow all together. I love linking the animals and elements to produce the right thing. What's even crazier is how the elements initially seem like 5 strikes but you can use all of them for throws/point striking/qinna/pushing once you realize that it's the jin/energy that's important

The fact that Pao is in principle a simultaneous block and attack allows for some fun to be had, like the way the blocking hand can be used to parry a strike you can also use it to restrain an assailant (imagine pushing your forearm up against an opponents chest area similar to what bouncers do to overexcited party goers/crashers) while you apply some stiff shots.

How does the study define "meditation"?

Dont let the cover and title fool you and I know this guy has his critics however it's a great read and helps dispel some myths.

I'm split on BKF. I really fukk with some of what he says but some of it im not feeling. He's definitely not a 'fake' or anything like that, just controversial. I find him really eloquent and insightful on a lot of things though.

Same here, it's hard to separate the actual person from the business man, with him, at times it's hard to tell which one is speaking.

He's legit though the footwork for someone his size though

Definitely. His fajing is really smooth like a good bagua guys should be. Its pretty rare to see people whove learned bagua transmissions in full, takes a certain mindset. He has some good things to say in that Nei Jia Quan interview book, quite interesting.

@ExodusNirvana this topic needs your talents

Brazillian Jiujitsu does the same thing. Prayer does the same thing. I guess meditation is prayer, for atheists.
