Forgive posting in different tribes, this topic is very important to me.
I am learning to feel the subtleties of energy and am wondering at all the different ways I expend energy. If I spend 2 hrs a day at the gym, does that mean I don't have healing energy left? What are the different types of energy? And what are some tecniques I can use to make sure I have plenty of energy left to do the physical things I want to do as well as the Spiritual? How are different types of energy used, depleted and harnessed?
Thanks so much for helping!!
Love,
Katrina

Re: Spending Energy
Mon, January 22, 2007 - 8:36 PMTry some form of yoga perhaps? a meditation technique? I myself practice falun Gong, www.falun dafa .org, but we don't heal 'cause we believe in letting things run their karmic course. As an illness is a form of karmic debt that must be repaid. If people don't pay their debts, how can they be freed?
However, if you wish to conserve your energies, I suggest that you swap the gym for yoga classes, it's a more spiritual practice/exercise.
Falun gong gives you energies for all needs, but if you want to heal and conserve energies, . . . . . . . i'd look to yoga. The use of energies should not be taken lightly, if you are really serious. In focussing energies, we learn conservation also, then there's energy to burn.
Hope this helps,

Falun Gong
Mon, January 22, 2007 - 10:18 PMI didn't know that falun gong advocates against healing. As an energy healer, obviously I have a different perspective.
I'm all for experiencing one's karma, because that is the way of the universe. But it seems to me that healing and being healed is part of that process. How do we know that accepting healing from another isn't a way of repaying karmic debt, perhaps to a time when your pride caused pain for another? Or that giving healing isn't paying a debt for injuring or killing someone in a past life? If you then keep this exchange of healing from occuring, aren't you then preventing karma from running its course?
Within my practice, I work directly with divinity, and the divine seems happy enough to give healing where it is needed most of the time. Occassionally I am prevented from helping someone in a particular way, and I accept that to mean that it is not in that person's highest good to receive healing at that time, perhaps because they need to let their karma run its course. But ultimately, for me, you can't stop karma from running its course no matter what you try to do, so you might as well do what feels the most true for you at that time. For me, that means easing suffering whenever I get the chance. -

Re: Falun Gong
Tue, January 23, 2007 - 2:42 AMHi Nathan,
We as falun gong practitioners are taught that to heal someone is to deny them the right to pay their karmic debts, and that in healing as person, you are only postponing the debt. It will have to be repaid eventually, perhaps at a greater cost. We are taught that to heal is to meddle in high level things we have no knowledge of, thus interfering with that persons journey, and as you say you can't stop the karmic retribution anyway. If we have killed or injured someone deliberately in the past then we have an enormous debt to repay.
We learn that the causes of illness can exist deep in another dimension, and that perhaps the sufferer owes the being in that dimension a debt. ,
which is being called in. In healing that person, we are not doing them any favours. Perhaps alleviating pain temporaraily. that is all. The debt must still be paid. Perhaps the sufferer even killed that person in a past life ., revenge is being extracted? We understand that in order to rise to higher levels one must be free of karmic burdens, and the only way to free oneself is through enduring our Karma. Gritting our teeth and bearing it with good grace so to speak. Not becoming angry, or self-pitying, just realizing that we are paying our debts. In this way we also learn compassion and that all sentient beings are suffering.
However, thru' the practice of falun gong,( of which the principles are truth, compassion and endurance, / tolerance) many amazing healings are occurring , simply by doing the exercises and following the principles. If you wish to look further into this matter, I refer you to the Series of lectures in "Zhuan Falun" the basis of Falun Gong which can be downloaded free from the net @www.falundafa .org and if you were to go to the clear wisdom site at the same address you'd find many testimonials of miraculous healings. But we as practitioners , are not permitted to heal.
Hope this clarifies things for you,
Peace Bro'.

Re: Falun Gong
Tue, January 23, 2007 - 8:53 AMYes, it seems pretty clear to me. Thank you for taking the time to explain your beliefs.
I think we'll just have to agree to disagree. I see healing as an integral part of the dance of karma, not as something outside of it or as something that interferes with it. You just see it differently than I do. No worries.
Peace.

Re: Spending Energy
Mon, January 22, 2007 - 10:04 PMFrom the Taoist perspective, we are all conceived with a limited amount of jing, which is the physical, creative energy your body needs to grow into adulthood and then to maintain itself. We use jing for all of our bodily processes, so it's constantly being depleted. Having a good diet with proper exercise uses jing, but it also helps your body to use jing more efficiently. Chi gung is the same way -- it takes jing to do it, but it will help you to use less over the long haul.
There is a meditation exercise that you can do to replenish the jing in your body. Sitting with your spine straight and your knees below your pelvis (cross-legged or on a chair), put your awareness at a point about an inch above your perineum. Don't do anything else except be aware of that point. Over time, that point will get hot - perhaps uncomfortably so - but just keep with it. Pre-natal jing will be entering your system and replenishing the jing supply in all of your blood-filled organs. Over time, this jing will overflow and transmute into chi, then again into shen (spirit/mind energy) and finally to Void/Oneness.
Enjoy!

Re: Spending Energy
Fri, February 2, 2007 - 10:45 AMBlessings;
As for me, Jesus was a healer, and I too have experienced the necessity of helping others heal as part of my own karmic dept and spiritual evolution. We are ALL connected, through our energy, through our actions, and non-actions. In helping someone else heal, we are truly only healing ourselves.
However, with that said, I would also like to point out that I'm still in the phase of "Physician Heal Thyself", with minor assistance to others as I go. I feel it is of utmost impoprtance on most every issue in life that the journey begin within first, then expands out. Only by changing myself first can I hope to shape change in the world around me.
And my final and most important thought to share revolves around something we all take for granted...BREATHING. In my studies of Martial Arts, Singing, Dancing, Acting, Yoga, etc. etc. etc. the very first thing we learn is..."HOW TO BREATH". I found this to be fascinating at first. Here I've lived my whole life so far, gone through Kindergarden, Public School, High School, and it wasn't until I started paying for my own education in college that they started to teach me how to breath, and then they taught me that in everything I was learning. I was in shock and disbelief...I've gone through almost 15 yrs of free school, and now that I'm paying for it myself they teach me something I should have been doing all along.
Yes folks, regradless of what you're doing, regardless of what you believe in...take a leap of faith with me now when I tell you to "BreatheDEEP...Breathe SLOW". You'll be amazed at the difference it will make in your life, with something so simple.
your humble servant,

Re: Spending Energy
Sat, February 3, 2007 - 12:02 PMlol, Hi ancient. I'm smiling because I too understand the importance of breath and was amazed that no one ever taugh me one of the most important skills one could impart upon another. I also am in full agreement of healing within before jumping ahead and trying to heal another. However, doesn't hurt to try and understand how the process works so when I am ready, if I ever am, I'll have asked every question I can think of regardless of putting the answers into play. They will be there in my mind and that is important to me.
Thanks for sharing acnient clown : )
Love,
Katrina
