@twoosees I've done the same. It's normal to want to share what you enjoy..

It's a good comparison

@Hardkill Lol maybe because they are busy building bombs with 60% of your tax payer money

@Epikur hm she makes good points but I find he judge attitude hard to stomach

That is what I find so surprising about how western healing shit on Qigong. You feel it pretty much right away... Anyway.

Western medicine doesn't even acknowledge Qi which is the focus of cupping. So obviously he isn't going to acknowledge it. Are the bruises placebo too? Or did he leave that out. imagine someone doing something and getting a direct result and a doctor is like "Well actually studies show there fore" its like... Okay, but why not include my direct feedback into your study? Just because something isn't quantifiable doesn't mean it is placebo either. It 'may' be placebo but you have to investigate. Not having quantifiable evidence doesn't mean there is not evidence, nor no quantifiable evidence. Maybe you don't have the right lens yet. I am part of an online Qigong community and there are 10's if not 100's of people claiming to be healing ailments they were told would never be healed by Western 'Modern' Medicine. He shares his concerns about people being mislead, but fails to see his own blind spots that come from being part of the western medical paradigm. Western medicine has its strengths and weaknesses, so does Traditional Chinese medicine. What makes me upset is that on wikipedia they call cupping, acupuncture and even Qigong 'Quackery' even though Qigong is doing wonders for my mental health and clarity and by simply trying the practice is blatantly obvious it's no 'quackery'. Who gives the person who writes the wikipedia pages authority? Also, they even include that 'cupping is often confused for child abuse'... Okay, fuck you and your bias. Is it really this bad in the world that our paradigms block us from seeing things that obviously work? Or obviously don't work? This is a real complicated mess. Working or not working is not a black and white thing. The human body is a complex phenomena, as is the enigma of reality as a whole. The modern western healing paradigm isn't as advanced as it should be as more and more evidence is showing that reality isn't even material. I think that a lot of material science and medicine has its place, but also a lot of it isn't. Just because you spend years studying something doesn't mean it is true. That goes for western and eastern medicine. He also talked about the straw man argument and how it was bad, but then he proceeded to do a strawman argument. More and more I am learning that there is a real balance of listening to others but not taking anyones 'expertise' seriously. This doctor also lumps a bunch of practices together and says 'all alternative methods like this' don't work. I think that is false, and it depends on the application of what you are trying to treat. Like, obviously you need the right treatment for the right problem. It's also sad because of the massive amount of problems that western medicine paradigm creates, and then has to try to treat. Silly games silly games. The rock and Michael phelps did nothing wrong if they tried a treatment like cupping, found it allowed the Qi to move more freely in the body and felt better. Qi is not placebo, but the placebo effect, or intention is part of the skill in directing Qi... Mind body connection. I have not tried cupping, but would like to to gain direct experience before I talk about it more. Western medicine needs to include mindful awareness and feeling if it wants to advance imo. As well as a deep profound holism. a little to yang in his left ear

Why is it illegal? I don't get it

Qigong is real AF. I am currently training to become a certified Qigong teacher. I went in just to get the direct experience and I fell in love with the practice. It has changed my life in a very dramatic way. It's definitely real, very powerful and worth your time if you wanna be happy and healthy. Qigong is a combination of movements, breath work, and intention. It's like Yoga, but different. It not only works on the muscles and breath but the body's life force energy called Qi. I would recommend getting a direct experience of Qigong and you can do that here: https://www.holdenqigong.com/ To me it seems obvious and practical. You are a human being with a lot of electricity moving through you. All you are really doing is working the body in a holistic way to get that electricty or Qi to move through your body in an optimum way. The 5 Element system is really powerful. Be sure to go in with an open mind and don't worry about getting anything from it. Just do the movements and see what happens. I know a lot of people seem to worry about it as it isn't well known. I don't really know the landscape that well. Qigong and an umbrella term and it includes meditation within it. The results I have seen so far in my practice is: 1. Improved spinal health 2. Better sleep 3. More energy 4. Less stress 5. Greater understanding of my bio-electricity 6. clearer thoughts... and more.... You are more than your physical body. Qigong is a very practical and holistic system. Once you feel the Qi flowing you can't unfeel it. It's a pretty amazing exercise. You don't understand how invisible energy affects you until you really develop awareness of it. Also the Holden Qigong community facebook page is filled with hundreds of people curing things they never thought they could because the modern western model lacks holism. -sorry bout typos I type fast and don't edit on forum

The more you watch D'angelos video the more you see how much pain he is in, how much black and white thinking he ascribes too, how little research he has done, how self biased he is. Awakened people need not worry about the opinions of unawakened people. Though, yeah its hard. Don't give your authority to anyone. The universe is your teacher. And, maybe keep some things to yourself for now. Not everyone needs to know how smart you or leo is. People are going to be wary of Actualized.org being a cult and rightfully should be. Our minds are valuable and people want to make sure they are protecting themselves and their family. Leo talks about a lot of deep subjects which are very sensitive and it is a great responsibility. The goal is to open your mind, so remember to read many sources, contemplate, do the practices and open your mind as much as you can.

Tip 1: Start doing Qigong, Yoga, meditation, 5meodmt and be consistant. Read more about it. open your mind. don't listen to peoples opinions as truths. Focus on direct experience. Develop clarity of mind, and a high level of mastery of your body and life in general. Tip 2: Watch this and do the practices https://superhumanexperience.io/ Obviously if you want something you gotta do the work to get it. Not wanting powers contains truth, but also wanting to access what is yours is your right and go ahead.

Depends on where you look. I imagine the forums quality will increase over time. Instead of shitting on it, contribute to it. Contemplate for to make the forum more effective for your growth and the growth of others.

@Seraphim Nahhh, Psychs and physical practice increase Aura when done right.

He has lots of grace imo its through the entire infrastructure of Actualized.org and all his catalogues. His videos have stylistic components to make 2-3 hours lectures fun. That is grace as well.

@Hardkill I don't think it's true. I have gone on dates where I know from the moment we meet there is sexual interest. They play a different game perhaps than men.... Gay men are much more open sexually than I have noticed in hetero relationships. It's not instant dick pics. But, if you can create chemistry, or there is chemistry present some part is turned on. I have gone on dates where I knew we were gonna smash from the moment we both sat down at the table ahahah. We want a good time. She wants to have fun, so do you. Just enjoy her company. Create a great moment together. That is major part of social interaction. Also different relationships are different. Sometimes you can over game things. Be authentic and cool, and not worred. You just are yourself. Show up to the context of dating, relationships, social interaction with a good head on your shoulders, open heart, you aren't needy, you provide emotional and energetic value. You can bet you are more likely to sleep with her. You can feel it. She can too. She wants to know you don't NEED sex, or anything from her, but are energetically interested and present. She can know that you want it. She assumes you do. She probably wants it too. It's part of the package of intimate relating. But we need to relate to it in a wise way. She may protect herself longer than you would. Doesn't mean she isn't turned on. She wants to observe you , get to know you , feel you, submit to certain aspects, but know you are overall funny, good vibe, a friend, attractive, sane, safe to be around and a positive addition to her life over all. She wants your positive masculine energy and enough feminine flow to have good balance. She wants to enjoy her life. By being a good mate and happy and whole within yourself. When you go about it to enjoy and respect her in a powerful, penetration masculine way. She wants to enjoy her life, so do you. When doing dating or pickup, start there. Sometimes women are just looking for a lover who is safe and friendly sometimes they are just looking for a long term partner Neurotic women want one thing, sane women want another thing Depends on peoples upbringings as well... OR, she wants something else. Depends. People have unique sets of programming. Also, Maybe they do get turned on slower on average too. I am not sure .

If it's a video or music, listen to the whole thing at least once before giving feedback. Remember the goal is create a powerful community of creators not to tear others down. By sharing your work, even if it scares you you will definitely improve a lot faster. I believe we are all here to create something great. Remember it doesn't always happen in your first try. But, this is the path of mastery! Let's walk it together. You can also specify things you want feedback on, such as content or structure. You can choose three level of critical feedback heat: 1. Low 2. Medium 3. High Here is a song I created on my first album: I would like feedback on how I can improve my mixing and recording in future records, as well as what peoples opinions are of the composition. High.

@Leo Gura Though, that is something I was wondering. Is it safe to even shower in the water if it has all these things in it? I am lucky where I live that we have some of the best tap water in the world. But, anyway. Ordering my basic RO this week! Thanks Leo

I join a weekly guided breathing session. The person who guides you is really reasurring and the music is really nice.

I would try 5meo and do a bit more spiritual work before trying to teach others. Read a bit more, do more contemplation, ask questions on the form. Remember to start any new endeavour with a beginners mind
