- Inhale, pull the room into you
Exhale, push out the walls of this room
Inhale, contract the room
Exhale, expand it
Inhale
Exhale
Now you are entering a half-sleep state of consciousness
Clear your mind
The correlation in energy healing between shiatsu and Zhan Zhuang practice. An interesting read to mentally compost…
Good information on Traditional Chinese Medicine with some nice recipes I am going to try.
Check out the two part video of some advanced qigongs too! Solid stuff.
Super Brain Yoga - 10 mins to supercharge your brain.
Interested if anyone has tried this technique.
Michael Echanis was a martial artist, mercenary, remote influencer, and some say, psychotic. Without a doubt, a shadowy character who may have either been politically assassinated while training death squads in Nicaragua or killed by misadventure when letting a jeep run over him! Nevertheless, stories about the United State’s first “Super Soldier” will continue to grow. The article above on his life is a high quality scan not available anywhere else.
For information on his Remote Influencing (stopping the heart of a goat) see this post on Rigorous Intuition. With so much disinformation about this man, I cannot say with certainty whether he was or wasn’t involved with Project Jedi, Project Stargate or the First Earth Battalion.

- Dames and Echanis both mentioned together in this Huffington Post clip on remote viewing and influencing. (Though it is still not clear whether they knew each other.)
If you have ever read the commentary on Rigorous Intuition you will find Drew Hempel in the mix, talking about his electromagnetic vagus nerve pulsating with light and attracting celestial females. That might seem crazy to the uninitiated but his life story and tireless research confirms some pretty wild stuff. His blog, Natural Resonance Revolution, is a great repository of information and always seems to post about stuff I am just coincidentally thinking of myself! The link above leads to part one (and two) of Drew’s interview with Martial Development. Interested readers should note that an unedited (and 18pgs long!!) interview is available as a PDF at the bottom of Part One.
Qi Magazine: Free To Download Today
- For almost twenty years, Qi Magazine featured original articles on kung fu, qigong, and other facets of Chinese culture, many written specifically by and for martial artists. (Qi Magazine is not to be confused with Qi Journal, which seems more targeted to the Goji berry set.)
- Qi Magazine ceased production in early 2009, and publisher Michael Tse has since opened the archives. Each of the ninety issues is now available for free download in PDF format. Read two issues every week; that should keep you busy until next year. (via Martial Development)
Free knowledge find of the year! I’ve begun my downloading sessions already and have read the first two issues this weekend. Looking forward to reading the series on IChing “training”.
