Hi,
Long time lurker here. I've been a student of the occult for four years. Last year, I started applying some of the techniques and ideas from Dr. Stephen Chang's dao of sexology. I liked the simplicity and bodily connectedness of the exercises and philosophy. It was a departure from the seemingly endless mental complexity of the western arts.
I met friend shortly after who was very much into Mantak Chia and retention - he also lent me the Magus of Java, a cult classic you could say! Naturally, I had questions about these differing methods, it was confusing. That's how I found Taobums.
I've attended two kunlun seminars thanks to this forum, and have been making slow but steady progress. I am most interested in the healing potential of the Taoist ways at this time, as I have some challenges to overcome.
Anyway, I'm glad to be on this forum and I've enjoyed the insight from reading it in the past months.
Michael
